Great Teeth Whitening Product

Not only do stained teeth make you look older but in today’s society, one is often scrutinized if their teeth are dark yellow or stained. There is no reason to put up with having the stigma of stained teeth with some great products out there to alleviate this problem. Kit:PenTogether 

If you want a fast teeth whitening product that is comparable to a visit to the dentist but costs a lot less money…Try Whitening Lightning’s Dial A Smile: Professional Home Teeth Whitening System!  I tested this break through product and it works incredibly well.
 
You can use Whitening Lightning in the convenience of your own home.  It is similar to the way professional offices whiten your teeth in that instead of those messy trays, they use the LED light technology.  The directions are easy to understand.  You basically dry your teeth, apply a solution to numb your gums to protect agains sensitivity, apply the whitening gel and then place the LED light into your mouth and let it sit for 20 minutes.  The handy color chart will have you seeing instant results.  The process guarantees anywhere from 1 to 7 X whiter teeth.  You get about 3 whole treatments so each time you use it, it will whiten your teeth even more.  I found my teeth to get about 3-4 shades whiter the first time I used it.  I am happy with these results!   
 
For those of you who are cautious of various chemicals, Whitening Lightning just launched another version of the kit that uses only natural products to whiten the teeth called Dial A Smile: Zero White Professional Home Teeth Whitening System.  The active ingredient in this system is baking soda.  The baking soda combined with the LED light make it too a very effective teeth whitener.  

Both of theses whitening systems are a great alternative to having to go to a dentist’s office in terms of convenience, cost and results.  I recommend this product line 100%.  You will be really impressed with your smile after using these products.  For more information go to www.WhiteningLightning.com

Make no mistake about it, MAKE is Great!

0-35

Make no mistake about MAKE makeup, it is a great product!!!  MAKE is the first for benefit colour cosmetics line launching on WeSeeBeauty.com.  The blush is a sheer, satin, soft-focus delicate finish that is long lasting  The Terra Cotta color was absolutely beautiful and created a soft delicate look to my skin. I have applied many high-end blushes and was amazed at the reasonable price of the MAKE make-up.  The blush came in a small, beautiful square box fitting very nicely in my purse.  It was the first time people have actually commented on the color of my blush and asking where I bought the product.

The MAKE foundation came in a light rectangular bottle making the application process very easy to use.  I was amazed with the velvety fluid foundation and how it diminished any skin imperfections and hid the lines and wrinkles on my face.  The foundation color was an exact match to my skin, making it look completely natural.  My skin actually had a soft glow, helping to gain back some youthful years.

The last product I was able to try was the lipstick.  I absolutely loved the packaging and small rectangular tube of the lipstick.  The pigment was neutral and went along with any color scheme I choose to wear for the day.  The lipstick was luscious and long lasting and the best part was it did not bleed on my lip-line.  A minimal amount of lipstick went a long way and moisturized my lips all day.  My husband even tried to plant a kiss on my lips and did not cringe when he tasted the lipstick!!!

0-36

Presently, I am going on the WeSeeBeauty.com  to purchase the eye shadow and eyeliner.  The product not only helps to make women beautiful but also one-third of all sales will support the non-profit organization, the We See Beauty Foundation dedicated to accelerate women-led, worker owned cooperatives. MAKE has certainly made my life easier by making me beautiful and supporting women in the workplace.

Tanning on the Glow

 

Everyone loves a nice clean even tan right? Even us pasty white, translucent girls who burn very quickly when exposed to the sun. I have never been to a tanning bed either, because of the recall on the bulbs. I would rather be safe than sorry. I see all these woman (and young teenage girls) spending hundreds of dollars to use a tanning bed when all they are really doing is damaging and aging their skin. I mean who wants to look like an old aged leather suitcase when they are in their 30s? No one am I right?

During the time I was in beauty school, I learned all the different skin diseases and cancers associated with overuse of harmful UV rays. I am not evening kidding you, the diseases and cancers out there are scary.

There is a solution that takes all of 5 minutes to do and you can do as much or as little as you want. Fake Bake’s aerosol spray on tanner, Bronze on the Glow, will give a nice, crisp, even tan without the UV’s. Another great thing about this spray on tanner does not make your skin appear orange. Filled with all organic ingredients, Bronze on the Glow will make your skin look and feel great without clogging pores. Also, enriched with a subtle shimmer, Bronze on the Glow will give you a “dance the night away” radiant glow.

So next time you are planning a trip to the tanning salon or the beach, think again. Bronze on the Glow will give you a great salon tan right in the comfort of your own home. Beauty is only skin deep but when the skin’s unhealthy so is the beauty.

DUAL REPAIR POWER SERUM is designed to address fine lines and wrinkles and contains Diacetyl Boldine and Siegesbeckia Extract which helps calm and tighten pores, improving overall skin tone.

After applying DUAL REPAIR POWER SERUM, I apply DUAL REPAIR FACE CREAM and I am finding that it is doing a fantastic job at calming my inflammation, giving me a more subtle look. “DUAL REPAIR FACE CREAM provides moisture to your skin helping to nourish and rejuvenate the look of your skin”.

My interview with the creator of INFINITY Hair Building Fibers – Denny Smolinski

When covering the American Beauty Show in Chicago earlier this month I had the opportunity to catch up with Denny Smolinski, the creator of a great solution for men and women dealing with thinning hair and hair loss… INFINITY Hair Building Fibers !

Denny Smolinski and me in the INFINITY booth at the American Beauty Show in Chicago! (March 2013)

I met Denny at a previous show in 2012 and was in total awe with his amazing product, INFINITY. The before and after pictures were unbelievable, and I immediately thought of that cowlick I had in the back of my wavy very dark hair that would separate when the wind blew and my white scalp would show through!! I wondered if INFINITY could fix my problem?

One of Denny’s friendly staff members sat me down, determined my hair color and what shade of INFINITY I should use. In a few shakes of the very easy to use INFINITY Hair Building Fibers, my problem was solved, and I’d never have to worry about that cowlick again! My hair also looked thicker, and I couldn’t have been happier!

Another plus is the super Fiber Locking Spray for use after you apply INFINITY! It will keep your hair looking great until you wash it.

My brother, a national cinematographer, is a real INFINITY fan, and I’ve also introduced INFINITY to my husband, and a number of friends. They all had various hair problems that were easily resolved by using INFINITY Hair Building Fibers!

(Quote)”Infinity Hair Loss Concealing Fibers® are a safe, natural and affordable solution to thinning hair. Infinity hair fibers were developed for women and men experiencing thinning hair who want the illusion of a full head of hair!”


Now it’s time to share the “magic” of INFINITY with you! Why don’t we start with the interview I had with Denny Smolinski.

VICKI: Tell us a bit about yourself, and how you came up with the concept of INFINITY.
DENNY: I am a computer geek by trade but have the entrepreneur spirit and I am always looking for new and unique ideas. I came up with the concept of Infinity Hair Building Fibers by seeing various women and men struggle with thinning hair and hair loss. Very few people have the extra money to purchase hair transplants or other costly alternatives. Infinity is an inexpensive and easy to apply alternative.

VICKI: How long did it take you develop this amazing product?
DENNY: It took me 3+ years of developing the formula & packaging for Infinity Hair Loss Concealing Fibers®. The unique packaging design is both eye catching and ergonomically designed with a soft touch grip to prevent slipping from your hand when applying.

VICKI: Who are your “Targeted clients” that will benefit from using INFINITY?
DENNY: The people that would be our “target clients” would be both women and men who have thinning hair. Many people are surprised when I tell them 70% of people who purchase and use the product are women. Most people think of men when you mention thinning hair.

VICKI: How do you go about choosing a color for your hair?
DENNY:
(1) Look in the mirror. Look at your hair root color in the thinning area. This is the color to order.
(2) Always look to match your root color even if you have highlighted ends.
(3) When in doubt, choose the darker shade. For example if you have trouble deciding between medium brown and light brown, choose medium brown

VICKI: How easy, for the average consumer, is INFINITY to apply and use?
DENNY: Infinity is very easy to apply. The details of the process are as follows:
–simply style your hair with favorite styling product, make sure your hair is dry
–shake the bottle of Infinity Hair Fibers over the desired area(s) and lightly pat the area of application to allow the fibers to simply fall into place
–Spray on the Infinity Fiber Locking Spray

Our motto is simply: Shake, Style & Go

VICKI: Once applied, how can user’s feel confident about INFINITY’S “staying power” during their daily activities?
DENNY: Infinity Hair Fibers were developed by using Nano Fiber Technology. When applied, Infinity Hair Fibers create a natural bond to your existing hair, for a fuller, natural, undetectable look. Infinity Hair Fibers stay in place up to the next wash and even hold up under perspiration, wind or rainy conditions, allowing for full coverage at all times. Infinity Fiber Locking Spray will help ensure the fibers stay in the desired areas of application.

VICKI: How can our readers learn more about INFINITY, and purchase your product?
DENNY: Readers can learn more about Infinity on our website at http://www.InfinityHairBrand.com
or call 855-HAIR-FIBER (424-7342). The website contains: videos, before & after pictures, FAQs, testimonials and where to purchase Infinity.

VICKI: I can’t thank you enough, Denny, for taking the time to tell us about INFINITY, and creating such a great product that will help so many people with thinning hair look and feel more confident about themselves!

That was a very informative interview, and now I’d like to show you some before and after photographs that are even more encouraging:

MALE: Before and After ~ INFINITY Hair Loss Concealing Fibers®
