Luster Has Made My Teeth Whiter


I recently read about Luster Premium White Toothpaste in Allure Magazine and decided to give it a try. I recently had braces and my teeth were not as white as I would have liked them to be. Luster Toothpaste appears to be doing the trick. I noticed an improvement after only a few brushings.

Luster Premium White tooth Paste contains “Bluerite” and as I learned from my research, is a formula that creates the optical effect of whiter teeth. Luster does remove surface stains with daily use and has a mild pleasant taste. Luster doesn’t burn the inside of my mouth like some toothpastes do.

I plan on continuing with Luster Toothpaste so I can achieve maximum results. You should give Luster a try, your teeth will thank you for it!

Faith Hill Soul2Soul is a Fragrance Worth Giving

As an early holiday gift, my mother got me Faith Hill’s “Soul 2 Soul” perfume. It’s definitely going to be one of my favorite gifts this year. I fell in love with the fruity floral smell and wear it every day. At their website, http://faithandtimfragrances.com/soul2soul-faith-hill, I found that the fragrance  “opens with sparkling fruits that lead to a passionate floral bouquet found at the heart of the fragrance while the bottom notes leave a soft and intoxicating scent“.

I don’t like perfumes that are too strong, but still want them to last all day. Faith Hills’d “Soul2Soul” Perfume fits that requirement perfectly. Faith Hill’s Soul2Soul’s perfume bottle is quite elegant with its gold and pearl white tones. It has also made my Christmas shopping really easy this year. I bought all my friends Faith Hill’s “Soul 2 Soul” Perfume. During my shopping I was able to sample Tim McGraw’s “Soul 2 Soul.” Needless to say, I was able to complete my Christmas shopping for every boy and girl I needed to shop for this year.

Pairing up Colgate Total® Toothpaste and the Colgate 360® Toothbrush can really make a difference in your next dental exam!

This past October, during National Dental Hygiene Month, I wrote an article about Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh + Whitening Toothpaste and it’s, (quote) clinically proven ability to reduce 90% more plaque germs and will help prevent oral health problems like:
• Bad Breath (Keeps breath mouthwash fresh up to 12 hours.)
• Cavities
• Plaque
• Gingivitis
• Tartar buildup

I was quite enthusiastic about trying the Colgate Total® Toothpaste, and thrilled upon receiving a package from Colgate with not only a sample of Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh + Whitening Toothpaste, but also a Colgate 360® Toothbrush.

Timing couldn’t have been more perfect since I had my bi-annual dental exam and cleaning scheduled for the end of November. I started using my two Colgate products immediately.

Colgate 360® Toothpaste is very refreshing. I used it twice a day along with normal flossing. My whole mouth felt moist and really clean. I noticed very quickly that my teeth looked more vibrant and did appear whiter than they have in the past. From a cosmetic point of view, when I would wear a warmer toned lip color (which can often give your teeth a less brighter appearance), my teeth now looked very white. That was pretty impressive!!

I was instantly in “awe” of the Colgate 360® Toothbrush. I really have never experienced such a unique feeling when brushing my teeth. I’ve used many different types of toothbrushes, water picks, sonic cleansers, and the like, on my sensitive teeth and gums. The Colgate 360® Toothbrush has it’s own “feel” that you really need to experience. I’ve recommended it to many of my friends and family!

Here’s all the technical information! (quote) The Colgate 360® Toothbrush is designed to give you healthier whole mouth clean by providing 3x bacteria removal action. The surround bristles simultaneously clean both sides of teeth and reach all the way down to the gum line while the cheek and tongue cleaner removes odor causing bacteria!

I couldn’t have described it better!! It’s so gentle yet thorough, and to me it’s much more than just a toothbrush! It invigorates my whole mouth! Without a doubt you should give it a try! It has a very distinctive design, and every time I brush it feels like I’ve just had my teeth cleaned.

Here you can see pictures and get more information about the Colgate 360® toothbrush : http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate360/US/EN/home.cwsp#Original

I bet you’re wondering how my dental exam and cleaning went?
Well, my dental technician told me my gums and mouth looked healthy, and I didn’t have to see her for another 6 months.
(At my previous cleaning, before using the Colgate Total® and Colgate 360® Toothbrush , she mentioned that my gums looked a bit more pink than they should.)

As I mentioned earlier, timing is everything and I’m so glad I was introduced to Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh + Whitening Toothpaste & the Colgate 360® Toothbrush!

These two products are available at nationwide mass retailers and grocery stores!

Visit: http://www.colgate.com/app/ColgateTotal/US/EN/HomePage.cwsp?cid=ppc_gg_nb_stan_Whitening_Exact_whitening+toothpaste to view a short video about Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh + Whitening Toothpaste!

As we move into the holiday season and another new year, this may be your perfect New Year’s Resolution for 2013!

Colgate Total® toothpaste and a Colgate 360® tooth brush will provide your mouth with the best healthy workout ever, and the benefits are like a gift that keeps on giving. This is one resolution you’ll have no problem keeping. Your confident “Smile” will tell it all!

Become Your Own Perfume Designer

The power of scent…….. Scents can trigger intense feelings and emotions in every human being. Its power can be used to boost your confidence, calm you down, make you feel secure, energize you and more. Scent can tell us much more than we are aware of, and its power should not be underestimated!

While I am a big fan of perfumes, I have become a bigger fan of Lisa Hoffman’s fragrance collection. She allows you the opportunity to become your own perfume designer, and the ability to change your scent as often as you want throughout your day! It’s a designer innovation creating a fragrance revolution! The ultimate way to wear a fragrance—your way!

Lisa, (http://www.lisahoffmanbeauty.com/) a busy professional, entrepreneur, wife and mother understands the fragrance wearer and this understanding is reflected in the modern sensibilities of not only her fragrance collection, but in the wearer’s ability to enjoy the fragrance in uncomplicated ways! She embraces every facet of life into her creative process, from the everyday to the adventurous, and allows the wearer to do the same and change it up as often as they want to!

Her collection consists of fine jewelry pieces that include a signature charm that holds scent infused beads which slowly release its fragrance! (A bonus-no more accidently over-spraying a scent!) The fragrance line consisting of Japanese Agarwood (soulful and woody notes), Madagascar Orchid (exotic), Tuscan Fig (romantic and warm), Tunisian Neroli (sensual and mysterious) and French Clary Sage (crisp and clean) gives a wonderful palate to play and experiment with! Put a bead (or a few!) in the necklace, bracelet, cuff or earrings and change it up throughout the day!

The Holiday Gift scents are a perfect gift for yourself or any lover of perfume on your list! It comes with a full size Eau De Parfum and matching Fragrance Bracelet with refillable fragrance beads! This season, wear fragrance your way!

TouchBack Marker is Here To Stay

 

TouchBack Brow marker-Being an eyebrow fanatic and very picky with the way they look, giving TouchBack Brow Marker a try was a dream! I fell in love with how easy the application was. Use very quick short strokes and follow in the direction the brow hair grows. I was able to create fully shaped brows in a cinch while looking very natural and not over done. I used dark brown and the color stayed on all day until washing off. A little tip about your eyebrows, remember they are not twins, they are sisters, and they can help you not to over tweeze!! No more powder for my eyebrows, this marker is here to stay.

 Kristina Barricelli, Gemini14 Salon states it nicely, “It’s all about experimentation. If you have warm but fair – or “Strawberry” – hair with brows to match, the browns on their own might be a bit too dark. The darker you go the cooler the color, so try mixing a couple of shades. If you’re feeling adventurous – especially you brunettes out there — don’t be afraid to go dark. You’ll find that it’ll add incredible dimension to your eyes and cheekbones.”

TouchBack Marker http://www.touchbackgray.com/browmarker is available in 4 shades that coordinate very nicely with TouchBack Hair Color. TouchBack Marker is not tested on Animals

A little tip about your eyebrows, remember they are not twins, they are sisters, and they can help you not over tweeze!  No more powder for my eyebrows, this marker is here to stay.

Keeping Oily Skin Under Control

Question:  Does your makeup ever seem to match your skin perfectly in the morning and look several shades darker by the end of the day?  Mine has.  This has puzzled and frustrated me for years, especially since, like a lot of women of color, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time searching for the perfect foundation.  It always looks great in the store!  So what happens?

Did you know that oil is the main cause of color change in makeup?  Luckily, I’ve never had too much of a problem with oily skin, but after being out in the sun all day or  under hot set lights,  it’s hard to keep anyone’s face from getting shiny.  So, I’m so happy that I was recently introduced to two oil control products from THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP  line by jane iredale.

“Shine is notable by its absence!”

Absence® Oil Control Primer promises to control the oil produced by skin without affecting its moisture.  I’ve been using it under my foundation to control shine for about a week now and I love it! It doesn’t make your skin feel dry and is really sheer and color-free.  In fact, you’ll hardly know it’s there.  You can use a makeup brush or the sponge that’s included to apply it under makeup on the parts of your face that tend to get oily (like I do) or on your entire face as a primer.  It’s good for oily, normal or combination skin and can also be used alone or under any mineral base. 

Absence® is available at shop.janeiredale.com and retails for $37.00.

jane iredale Facial Blotting Papers control shine on-the-go!

To keep shine under control while you’re on-the-go, I suggest trying jane iredale’s Facial Bloting Papers.  It’s amazing how much excess oil these tiny little sheets can soak up!  You get 100 blotting papers in a super cute little gold metal compact that you might want to use for business cards later:)  I’ve always just used face powder for touch-ups throughout the day, but these soft, all-natural papers made from organic flax seed are really absorbent and give you a more natural flawless finish.  Great for tucking into your purse to use anytime!

Facial Blotting Papers with Compact are available at shop.janeiredale.com and retail for $11.00.
