What is Elizabeth Arden Prevage?
Prevage Lash and brow enhancing serum is a clinically tested serum that has been proven to improve the length, thickness and fullness of lashes in 100% of women in only two weeks! And it’s also been clinically proven to provide a 40% improvement in the appearance, length, thickness and density of lashes in four weeks!

Prevage also treats lash and brow breakage, brittleness and loss due to aging, lack of nutrients and vitamins, and environmental threats. It is very gentle on your skin and eyes, yet still quite effective.

How do you use Elizabeth Arden Prevage lash and brow enhancing serum?
Prevage Lash and brow enhancing serum comes in a tube  similar to liquid eyeliner.  Apply at night before bed after removing your makeup.

Brush the serum across your eyelid like you are applying eye liner. You start from the inside and slide gently across the base of your eyelashes towards the outside of your eyes. Then repeat for the second eye. If you are looking to improve your eyebrows as well, you simply apply it where your eyebrows need attention.

Use Prevage Lash and Brow Serum every night until you are satisfied with your lashes. Once you have obtained your desired results, maintain the look by using the serum 3 to 4 times a week.

Before                                                                      After

Does it work?
The clinical results in 100% of women who tried the serum found their lashes were thicker and longer!

My mom has been begging to try a lash enhancer so I let her be my guinea pig. She has lost both length and fullness in her lashes and was desperate for a little help. After using it for just under two weeks she said she can definitely see and improvement in the length and they are starting to appear more full. She has also noticed an improvement in the texture and said they are much softer. She said you can really tell how much they have improved with mascara on. Definitely a good buy if you are looking to enhance your lashes and brows.

Prevage lash and brown enhancing serum will be releasing into department stores nationwide and on ElizabethArden.com the beginning of October. It will come in a .12 fl oz container and retail for $98.00.

You can’t help but love the bottle designed to look like a clutch purse! I thought it would just be another pretty fruity, floral fragrance but Swarovski Edition really stands out. The clementine and red currant jelly are bright and crisp the rose notes are gentle enough to not overpower the main floral standout is the gardenia. The scent of the Gardenia blossom with a hint of woodiness mixes just perfectly and the musk base note grounds the fragrance.  The more I wear it the more I enjoy this fragrance a really beautiful scent!

Swarovski introduces Swarovski Edition, an addictive fruity floral limited edition eau de toilette. Swarovski Edition will make its US debut on Fashion’s Night Out, September 6th, just in time for Fashion Week.

My fair skin has taken a beating with the summer sun exposure so I was excited to check out the the new Perricone MD  Vitamin C Ester 15.  The chief  ingredient, Vitamin C Ester , comes in at  15 %  which is the “highest concentration in any anti- aging treatment .”

It’s a very lightweight cream and you don’t need much to get great coverage. I use it on the sun spots on my nose and my neck and chest. In the last two weeks I have noticed my skin has slowly been brightening and is much clearer. It even smells  yummy almost like a  creamsicle!

It is a splurge but the product really works. In two weeks the most dramatic change has been in the firmness and clarity of my skin. All that and its fading sun spots!

Vitamin C Ester 15
Summer has its many perks. Beaches, barbeques and the perfect sun-kissed glow. But as Autumn nears and your tan begins to fade, your complexion may not be thanking you. Harmful UV rays and months of overexposure has left your skin dry, damaged and in need of a serious overhaul. Get ready for firmer, brighter and smoother skin in a flash!

Vitamin C Ester 15  is a prescription-grade 15% concentrated treatment, the highest available in any anti-aging product and patented for topical application. Rejuvenate your ravished summer skin each night with each of these 7-day tubes and give skin a more youthful look by boosting collagen production, smoothing skin texture and dramatically brightening its appearance. In one week’s time, redness and dullness disappears, leaving you with a porcelain-like complexion.

Now your glow doesn’t have to depart along with Summer – your winter skin can be just as radiant!
