Tighten Up That Turkey Neck with Nivea Skin Firming Cream

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...

Clarisonic Mia worth the money


I have been reading all the buzz about Clarisonic Cleansing Systems and watching men wander aimlessly  around Sephora during holidays looking for them, so I decided to bite the bullet at get one. The original Clarisonic costs $195 and the Mia costs $149. The main difference is the Mia only has one speed and the original has four. The Mia also comes with the sensitive brush head only. You can buy any of the other brush heads for the Mia ( Normal, Delicate, and Deep pore Cleansing). The only one that does not work with it is the body brush head. The single speed and sensitive brush head work fine for me. I do want to try the deep pore head next time.
The main benefit of the Clarisonic cleansing system is the removal of dead skin. When we are younger, the dead skin seems to slough off by itself, but as we age, the skin needs a little help. I use my Mia about once a day, in the shower. I went on vacation for a week and didn't bring it with me and I could definitely see the difference. The prices seem to her very consistent. The only place you might get a better deal is on QVC. They sometimes have special edition versions that come with extra product, like the Clarisonic PLUS bliss Face & Body Collection.

The most expensive nail polish you won't regret buying

 For those of us who don't get regular manicures, great nail polish is a must. I wandered upon my new favorite in Nordstrom while browsing Deborah Lippmann's products. "Happy Birthday" is the coolest polish I have ever seen. It is made up of red, yellow, blue, orange, green purple, silver and gold mini confetti in a clear base. It almost looks like someone threw a bunch of confetti and it landed on your nails, hence the name "Happy Birthday" .     I just had to have it. Even at $18. Now, you have to consider that this is a premium brand that contains no toluene, formaldehyde or DBP. It is sold out   online and Nordstrom says they can barely keep it in stock. The one negative - the sales lady told me it takes a while to get it off.  Deborah Lippmann is a manicurist that started mixing up polishes for her celebrity clients like Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cher.  She also has a line of hand and foot treatments, her "Rich Girl" hand and ...
