Veneffect ~ Anti-Aging Intensive Moisturizer

METSV — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:29:46 PDT

VenEffect Anti-Aging Intensive Moisturizer

$185.00 at Neiman Marcus

This super-hydrating, luxurious moisturizer is richly formulated with the VENeffect exclusive advanced phytoestrogen technology, along with peptides, proteins and nourishing ingredients to dramatically increase skin's elasticity as it reverses the signs of hormonal aging.

Preserves and restores collagen with exclusive plant-based phytoestrogen to:

Dramatically enhance skin's elasticity.

Boost collagen production.

Promote hyaluronic acid production - the building block of dewy young skin.

Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Brighten and even out skin tone.

Restore skin to the healthy glow of peak vitality.

VENeffect products are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and paraben free.

Smooth into clean skin daily, morning and evening. For added broad-spectrum sun protection, use in combination with VENeffect Moisturizer SPF 15.

How it Works:

As we age, the influence of estrogen declines resulting in loss of collagen in our skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

VENeffect is the only anti-aging line formulated with a unique and powerful blend of 100% natural phytoestrogens to enhance collagen and improve elasticity in skin.

The result: VENeffect reverses the signs of hormonal aging to preserve and restore the healthy glow of skin at peak hormonal vitality.

The Phytoestrogen Difference: Phytoestrogens are plant-based "mimics" of human estrogen that safely and effectively bind to the estrogen receptors in skin, preserving and restoring collagen, dramatically increasing elasticity and reversing the signs of hormonal aging.

Klorane by Centaury Extract Shampoo $13.00 at Smallflower

Is your hair white or gray? Does it have a tendency to become yellow or dull? Use Klorane Shampoo with Centaury to enhance the radiance of your hair and protect it from yellowing. Centaury extract was specifically selected for its anti-yellowing action for white or gray hair. Thanks to the combination of a gentle emulsifying base, which makes the hair supple and gives it volume, and Klorane Centaurea extract, the Klorane shampoo with Centaurea enhances the natural radiance of white or gray hair by giving it gentle silver highlights. It is just highlights, not coloring, because the effect is external. The shampoo does not contain any synthetic colorant. Hypoallergenic.

Anti-Aging ~ Guerlain 'Orchidée Impériale' Neck & Décolleté Cream

Makeup Addict — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:24:36 PST

Guerlain 'Orchidée Impériale' Neck & Décolleté Cream $365.00 Available @ Nordstrom

The neck and décolleté are, after the face, the two zones that are the most sensitive to the effects of aging. Because the skin is naturally thinner, the neck and décolleté are prime targets for the premature appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation flaws. The Orchidée Impériale Neck and Décolleté Cream is a rich creme that redefines and enhances the delicate neck and décolleté area. Its re-densifying action is reinforced by an anti-slackening affect. After the treatment, the neck and décolleté appear immediately smoothed, as if lifted. Spots are diminished and the décolleté recovers a satiny radiance. With continued use, the skin recovers its strength and tone; it appears denser, stronger and firmer.

Makeup Addict says -- Don't hate me because I pick EXPENSIVE products. I pick the ones that have the best word of mouth and have some great recommendations. Guerlain has one of the best names in the business and their Orchidée Impériale Neck and Décolleté Cream has garnered some very high praise. I am starting to save up for this - among many other products on my long wish list!!

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!!

New Product Alert ~ Meow! by Katy Perry Eau de Parfum

Makeup Addict — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:44:42 PST

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.
