Rihanna announces the debut of ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA in time for holiday 2014 expanding her presence in the world of fragrance and giving her fans new fragrances for men and for women this holiday season. Just last month over 3,500 fans celebrated with Rihanna at Macy's Lenox Square in Atlanta the debut of ROGUE MAN, her first fragrance for men. ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA complements ROGUE MAN, and is a delicious floral fragrance dedicated to her female fans.
ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA captures that moment when love first hits you with a wild rush that goes through your whole body. Delicious fruits tempt your senses with notes of fresh citrus and succulent peach mingling with the temptation of juicy berries. Just as the facets of love take multiple twists and turns, the core of ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA is built with layers upon layers of lush, rich florals. A bit uncontrollable like the fluttering of the love-struck heartbeat, the petals are a radiant texture with vibrant colors of honeysuckle, jasmine and orchid splashed with the simply irresistible seduction of coconut.
In the background lies the pure beauty of the sophisticated sweetness of vanilla and golden amber. A mysterious femininity emerges as powerful, lingering notes of rich creamy woods are drizzled with an addictive hint of caramel.
THE NOTES: Top: Mandarin, Berry & Peach; Middle: Jasmine Sambac Absolute, Honeysuckle, Coconut, and Orchid; Base: Creamy woods, Amber, Caramel, and Vanilla
THE PACKAGING: ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA is housed in a sleek white-on-white stingray patterned carton trimmed with sensuous rose gold accents and features the ROGUE LOVE BY RIHANNA ad image on back. The bottle design is a heavy glass with inverted spikes kissed in rose gold. A matte white cap complements the carton.

Did you know that Salicylic Acid is ideal for: Acne, Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Large Pores & Blackheads, Oily Skin, Psoriasis, Razor Bumps plus Warts
This is a very affordable option to do a at home facial peel. Dr Song Salicylic Acid is made with Pharmaceutical Grade Salicylic Acid and comes in 20% up to 50% strength.
Be careful to keep away from eyes and mouth! For me, the peeling started to occur the next day, but for each person this is dependent on the duration of application. I had left mine on for about 2-3 minutes as I didn't want to risk leaving it on too long. Based on results achieved and your skins response you maybe able to apply peel for a longer time and this will increase peeling. During the use I noticed no burning, no pain. When they say peel, it's not painful - it's just taking off the top dead layer of skin. Overall I'm liking the results and what this product does.

If there every was a fragrance that screamed seduction, this is the one!

I was really excited when I had the opportunity to try out the Amara Organics Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I am only in my 30's but I still have issues with wrinkles around my eyes. There's no need to use expensive fillers and injections when you can get amazing results with this topical formula.
The Hyaluronic Acid Serum provides a safe and effective alternative for filling and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Within moments of using this powerful Hyaluronic Acid Serum, you can expect your skin to feel silky, soft, and smooth. Combined with Vitamins C & E, this anti-aging formula has long-lasting effects that will make your skin glow.
I actually used the serum before jetting out on my morning errands. I first applied my toner then just applied a thin layer of the serum over it. My skin felt softer and my eyes seemed to look more alert. I am very anxious to see if this product will help get rid of those pesky lines around my eyes.
