The neck and chest are two areas often overlooked in beauty routines. Aging, time in the sun and too much time on devices (tech neck) can take a toll on your neck. If you’ve been looking for a product that targets wrinkles on your neck and chest, look to Nivea. The more than 100-year-old skincare brand has created a new lotion that firms up crepey, wrinkly skin. Nivea Skin Firming & Anti-Wrinkle Cream is made with Q10, Creatine and Provitamin B5. Unlike most of the neck wrinkle creams on the market, it comes in a tube that makes it easier to apply. In clinical tests, 9 out of 10 users said their skin was smoother and softer, and in two weeks, users noticed diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. The cream boasts 24-hour protection, but is designed to be applied twice a day for maximum results. I got my hands on tube and took a test run. I started by putting it on at night. It went on smoothly and doesn’t have any strong fragrances. It took a while to sink in, but if you’re going to be...
A great bargain foundation for around $9
I am not a big fan of liquid foundations, but as I age I find that I need a little more coverage. That being, said, I don't want to spend $30 or more on something I probably won't use everyday. I saw Sara mention L'oreal Paris' True Match Super Blendable liquid makeup on KLG and Hoda. She claims that this is the foundation used by their makeup artists. I used L'oreal's True Match Blendable Compact makeup and didn't like it, possibly because it was to heavy.
The key to L'oreal True Match is picking your shade. It is best to go to a drugstore and use their shade finder. You take this plastic swatch strip and place it over the under side of your wrist. Your shade is the color that fades away next your skin. You can also go on www.lorealparisusa.com and use their color match database. It will match your color based on your current favorite brand (limited). Once you find your shade, they will offer you a coupon. The foundation has a light creamy texture that you can apply with your fingers, a sponge or a brush. You can build on the coverage, but you should use a concealer first. You also get the benefit of SPF 17 protection. At $9, this foundation can compete with any department store brand.
