Couture Fashion Week New York, Spring 2016

by Chic Pretty FunLeave a Comment on Couture Fashion Week New York, Spring 2016

Fashion Show 8

This September I had the pleasure of attending Couture Fashion Week New York , in New York City. The show was fantastic, I really enjoyed the experience (and front row seats!). The show featured two prominent international couture designers, whose gowns have been worn by beauty pageant contestants around the world. The first collection was designed by renowned Dominican designer Lourdes Atencio. Overall, her Spring 2016 collection was fun and romantic. While the first few looks did not impress me, the collection improved for me as the show went on. Many of her pieces had a vintage vibe, and some evoked the 60s and 70s. I would have liked to see more of that since I love those eras. Some gowns also had a metallic fabric that looked like “liquid satin”,  which captured the light on the runway in an interesting way. While I liked many of the designs individually, I thought the collection could have been more cohesive.

This was the opening design. I love crop top and skirt sets, and I like green, however I did not love this combination.

The Magic of OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum

by Chic Pretty FunLeave a Comment on The Magic of OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum

OZ Naturals has developed a truly magical retinol serum. As you may already know, retinol is an essential ingredient in any anti-aging skincare product. Retinol works by prompting the skin to make more collagen and it helps exfoliate your skin by removing dead cells (source: www.webmd.com/beauty/skin-glow-13/anti-aging-routine).

I received a sample of this product to test and so far I have seen amazing results. While I always prided myself in having inherited good skin (thanks mom!), I have always known how important it is to use great skincare products to help prevent wrinkles. Furthermore, my dry skin has only gotten dryer over the years and I have my fair share of wrinkles and expression lines.

Well, so far I’ve seen amazing results! After applying the OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum daily, my skin is softer, more hydrated and it has helped visibly reduce my expressions lines and wrinkles. Also, as someone with sensitive skin, I have not had any allergic reactions or redness. I attribute that to the fact that this serum is also 99.9% natural. Need I say more? OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum guarantees great results for a fraction of the price of other much more expensive serums.

  • Made in the U.S.A            ‘
  •  Cruelty Free
  • Paraben Free
