VENeffect Anti-­Aging Skin Care

One of my major care concerns has been anti-aging, which is why I had started using VENeffect's luxurious line of products, including an anti-aging eye treatment ($125), anti-aging moisturizer SPF 15 ($145), anti-aging intensive moisturizer ($185) and anti-aging lip treatment ($85).  

Estrogen is what keeps your skin youthful, glowing and wrinkle free. After age 27, estrogen levels start to decrease, resulting in a loss of elasticity. So VENeffect uses phytoestrogens, plant-based "mimics" of human estrogen to preserve and restore collagen, increase elasticity, reverse the signs of aging and make the skin glow again.  

My favorite product of the line is the anti-aging moisturizer, which I apply in the morning and at night, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and revitalized. It also promotes hyaluronic acid production and brightens and evens out skin tone. 

The VENeffect line is available at Neiman Marcus stores and online at neimanmarcus.com. Check out the entire product line here.

Saivana Spring/Summer 2012

I was first introduced to Saivana a few months ago during their resort/spring press preview. Saivana includes tanks, blouses, tunics, dresses and scarves in luxurious silks. Their style is eclectic, feminine and flowy with modern silhouettes and detailed embroidery. While summer is stocking up, you can get some great discounts on pieces currently in-store, such as these Saivana tops at Neiman Marcus now 40% off. Sizing ranges from XS-L. You can also find Saivana at Anthropologie.

Here are some of my Saivana Spring/Summer 2012 favorites. I love how the embroidery details extend to the back for some added detail.
