Neutrogene Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer $17.99 ($16.99 on sale on line) Available @ Target
Clinically proven to help:
Accelerated Retinol SA combines the highest concentration of Neutrogena's Retinol SA with glucose complex - an exclusive booster that delivers pure stabilized retinol into the skin's surface quickly and effectively - and Hyaluronic Acid that leaves skin feeling smoother and younger-looking.
So effective, every single woman had noticeable results in just 1 week.* Greatest 1 week improvement was seen on fine lines and
the appearance of overall photo damage.
Makeup Addict has found that Neutrogena has become much more than its much loved soap. They have an extensive line of very effective skin products. I have to admit that Neutrogene Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer is the first product I have seen that has a claim that 'every single woman had noticeable results in just 1 week". Yes, that claim is asterized but that is really something. I can always use more Retinol so I know that I will be buying it shortly!!
Meow! by Katy Perry Eau de Parfum $45/$65 Available @ Dillards
Meow! by Katy Perry is a companion piece to the singer’s first fragrance, Purr, and was created while Perry was on the “California Dreams” world tour promoting her platinum-selling second record, Teenage Dream. This rich follow-up scent is a wearable interpretation of the fun, sensual spirit of the tour—so fun in fact, Perry felt the name of the fragrance needed an exclamation point at the end of it.
Still, Meow! commands a soft sexuality appropriate for use during any time of day, or in any of the many places visited while on tour. Its signature comes from a pairing of honeysuckle and pear with the backdrop of creamy vanilla, musk, and amber. So while Purr marks Katy Perry’s first foray into the fragrance world, Meow!, more than anything, embodies her energy.
Makeup Addict knows some people who would absolutely love Meow! by Katy Perry as a present -- and I have to say that it sounds very pretty to me.
