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...

Fall Beauty Preview Party at Neiman Marcus




Two great local bloggers, Christie and Laura hosted a Fall Beauty Preview at Neiman Marcus last week. The event was complete with pomegranate martinis, mini-cupcakes and a photo booth. While the ladies waited for a mini makeovers, they enjoyed passed appetizers and music from the in-house DJ. 
Christie and Laura's picks were displayed throughout the beauty department, along with new picks for Fall. 

I took this opportunity to try the much loved DiorSkin Air Flash Foundation. This spray on foundation contains mother of pearl pigments to diffuse light and even out skin. You can spray it straight on your face or spray it on a brush or sponge first (good idea if your don't want to get it on your clothes). The coverage is great. I didn't need concealer, and I always need it. Dior makeup artist Desiree completed my look with the rest of the Dior line. 



My notables: 5 Couleurs Lift Eye Shadow, this shadow compact contains an eye primer with anti-aging properties for a smoother look and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss, maximum shine and not sticky.

Guest who RSVP'd with Christie and Laura got a little gift bag containing a red velvet Neiman Marcus makeup bag filled with deluxe samples, including the new exclusive fragrance by Prada, Candy.

Don't miss out on the next great event. Follow Christie's (www.icanstyleu.com/blog) and Laura's (www.lollieshopping.com) blogs!

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 ...
