Nestle: Firm's new Glowelle daily beauty drink/dietary supplement relies on proprietary blend of antioxidant vitamins, phyto-nutrients, botanical and fruit extracts to fight signs of aging by "nourishing your skin from within," according to Sept. 3 release. Available at Neiman Marcus stores nationwide and Bergdorf Goodman in ready-to-drink glass bottles as well as convenient 7- and 30-day powder-pack kits, Glowelle "works synergistically with current beauty regimens to enhance skin's appearance," Nestle says. Beauty drink comes in two flavors - Natural Raspberry Jasmine and Natural Pomegranate Lychee.
