MORE STATEMENT PIECES TO LAST A LIFETIME!
Make your purchases work theirr hardest with shopping tips from Big W’s SUE MACDERMID
Every wardrobe needs staple items that stand the test of time. They should be capable of being paired with just about anything in your wardrobe, and still work with new pieces when trends begin to fade. Generally, international runways are steering towards a strong androgynous undertone, with an emphasis on power dressing. Clean, crisp, white shirts paired with cigarette pants and pump heels will be seen on Big W’s shelves this season!
THE WHITE SHIRT
A neutral-toned shirt or T-shirt tucked loosely into a skirt works well in professional environments. For an edgier look, a baggy white tee and blue denim jeans always looks polished.
THE BLACK BLAZER
Great for the office, it can also be paired down with a white or black T-shirt and black jeans for a more casual look.
THE CLASSIC TROUSERS
Black pants in a cigarette fit are timeless and will ensure every outfit looks chic.
THE HEELS
Every wardrobe needs a pair of pumps. They help lengthen legs.
THE SUNNIES
A stylish pair of classic frames will stand the test of time. Choose a neutral colour or black to ensure they remain versatile with your whole wardrobe.
Ask any beauty editor or dermatologist what their gold-standard anti-ageing secret is and the answer is kind of boring. Because it’s always the same: retinol. But there’s a reason for that. This magical little molecule is the gift that keeps on giving. Dark spots and discolouration? Fine lines and wrinkles? Dullness and sagginess? You name it, it helps it. How? Retinol (a form of Vitamin A) speeds up the skin’s cell renewal process to keep it looking younger.
One of the latest standout stars to hit the market is Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream. It’s supercharged with a whopping 25 per cent more retinol than their Repair Night Moisturizer (the results of which we were already pretty happy with). The higher concentration of Accelerated Retinol SA (Sustained Action) and the fact it possesses the ability to penetrate the skin while also continuing to work throughout the day means that not only does it help support collagen, smooth wrinkles and resurface the skin to help with texture, but the results also reveal themselves in as little as a week. Even better, factor in the Regenerating Cream’s line-plumping intense moisture hit, and you’ll see skin that’s dewy and super-glowy too.
Transformative stuff, but if you want to ensure the Regenerating Cream works to its full potential, consider teaming it with the rest of the Rapid Wrinkle Repair range that incorporates day and night lotions, a serum and a rejuvenating eye cream. Formulated specifically to complement each other, they’re engineered with all the extras: nourishing and skin-smoothing ingredients and hydrating moisturisers. So all you need to do is sit back, relax and watch your skin transform. And don’t forget your stopwatch.
