Introducing VENeffect Anti-Aging Skin Care

VENeffect

VENeffect anti-aging lip treatment, anti-aging eye treatment, anti-aging moisturizer SPF 15, anti-aging internsive moisturizer.

Sisters discover the power of phytoestrogens and launch a first-of-its-kind, anti-aging skin care collection, VENeffect.

When Cecil Booth consulted her sister, Rebecca Booth, a gynecologist, about her hormones and their impact on her skin, the beauty industry vet was met with some groundbreaking insight.

“There is an undeniable and well documented link between estrogen and collagen,” says Dr. Booth, a sought-after gynecologist specializing in hormonal wellness and author of best-selling book The Venus Week. “As the influence of estrogen wanes from its peak in our twenties, collagen declines, resulting in a loss of elasticity and increase of fine lines and winkles in our skin.”

Review: Natura Bisse NB Ceutical Lip Recovery Balm

natura bisse

The lips, just like the eye area, require special care to maintain youth and beauty, especially in winter, when the fine skin loses so much moisture.  Natura Bisse has developed NB Ceutical Lip Recovery Balm, the newest addition to its NB Ceutical Collection, a hypoallergenic line designed for sensitive skin.  Lip Recovery Balm ($65) contains an exclusive formula of botanicals to nourish and renew the lips.  But what is most exceptional about it is the texture — neither waxy nor greasy nor wet. The creamy substance melts into the lips instantly, soothing and plumping and creating an ideal base for lip color. Available at NeimanMarcus.com and Neiman Marcus stores.

Dior Makes L’Or de Vie Even Richer

Dior L'Or de Vie Rich Creme

In 2006 Dior Beauty set a benchmark with the release of its anti-aging skincare collection L’or De Vie, which tapped into grapevines. Not just any vines, but those of the legendary Château d’Yquem Vineyard, the French winery known for making the finest Sauternes. Why this particular stem? The vineyard’s prestigious sweet wine, which often scores a perfect 100 from wine experts, has been coveted for centuries for its longevity. With proper care a bottle will keep for a century or more, improving with age — precisely why Dior decided to source the fountain of youth that flows through the vines for the innovative anti-aging collection. This season Dior releases the latest addition to the L’Or de Vie range, La Crème Riche, exclusive to Neiman Marcus.

Producing the gleaming jar’s contents requires a six-month maturation process that includes 17 purification steps in order to extract the antioxidant-rich concentrate from the shoots of the Yquem vines. The finished product’s rich texture repairs, plumps and softens even the driest of skin. A thirst-quenching cure that will have your skin improving over time.

Shop Dior Beauty’s La Crème Riche and refills at NeimanMarcus.com and Neiman Marcus stores. Plus, earn gifts of beauty during the Scent Event, through November 27.

Le Métier de Beauté Peau Vierge: Better Skin Is Back In Stock

Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Complexe Tinted Treatment

Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Complexe Tinted Treatment

Touted as “the most effective cosmetic Retinoid treatment on the market,” Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Complexe Tinted Treatment launched less than a year ago. Since then, it’s sold out three times nationwide, leaving wait lists and diehard fans (myself included) in its wake. This week, the Le Métier de Beauté product is back in stock at Neiman Marcus in an expanded shade range to flatter every skin tone.

An editor’s pick in InStyle magazine’s “Best of Beauty” and an NM Beauty Award Finalist Spring 2011, Peau Vierge is a tinted fluid that offers lightweight coverage and a gossamer-like finish under makeup or on its own. But the glowy benefits only start there. The product doubles as a skin treatment that stimulates collagen production, increases blood flow, lessens dark circles, smooth fine lines, blur blemishes, and tighten pores. Oh, and did we mention, these effects can be seen as quickly as a week after beginning daily use?

The Actif delivery system is the secret behind Peau Vierge’s ability to stimulate collagen cell rejuvenation and smooth wrinkles from deep below the skin’s surface. A first-to-market technology with 12 global patents, Actif has been proven to be 20 times more effective at delivering anti-aging powerhouse Retinol into the deeper skin layers, bringing elasticity and radiance back to skin. Le Métier de Beauté now comes in three shades.
