Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste
Friday, July 30th, 2010
There is no shortage of whitening toothpastes at the drugstore. But you usually won’t get noticeable results unless you get trays or whitestrips that sit on your teeth for a length of time. If you’re do lazy or busy for that, we have good news! We tried Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste, and actually noticed a brighter smile within about 4 days. This product promises to remove up to 80% of surface stains within about 2 weeks – very important for those of us who refuse to abtain from coffee, tea, and dark soda. 3D White Vivid Toothpaste also foams a little, so you can reach more in between teeth. Best of all, it’s not gross like most whitening toothpastes and actually has a nice mint taste!

Mitchum Power Gel Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
It is our firm belief that the only reason EVERYONE doesn’t wear clear deodorant is because it always seems that the solid versions simply work better. We tried Mitchum Power Gel Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant in Powder Fresh and it actually worked as good as a solid! We enjoyed putting on a black shirt with no contortionist moves. This product is alcohol-free which is a must for sensitive skin. Although this deodorant is strong it wasn’t more irritating than regular deodorant – we’re officially converted to the clear side.

Revlon Perfect Heat Ceramic Curling Iron
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
Curling irons have certainly come a long way. It used to be that the brand and type of curling iron you used depended on your hair type, and if you wanted a curling iron with different heat settings you would have to make an expensive trip to the beauty supply store. Revlon’s Perfect Heat Ceramic Curling Iron is relatively inexpensive at less than $10 at most stores. However, it has everything that you would look for in a curling iron. Its ceramic barrel ensures that your hair won’t be singed, and it has 30 heat settings! We loved that we had so much choice for the heat level, it’s so much better than the old school ‘High’ and “Low”. We used it in the morning and still had curls at night without using hair spray. Best of all, the curling iron heats up in 30 seconds – perfect for getting ready for work.

AcneFree Therapeutic Sulfur Mask
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Anyone who has ever suffered from serious acne knows that it is ALWAYS a big deal. Most people will pay anything to fix it. On the expensive side, you can Isolaz deep pore laser therapy from your dermatologist, or cortisone injections. If you’re on a budget but are looking for the real deal, we suggest University Medical’s AcneFree line. It actually works! We really like their Therapeutic Sulfur Mask. It turns light blue when it’s time to rinse off so you won’t be tempted to overdo it, and you only have to leave it on for about 13 minutes. We recommend this for anyone with serious acne.

CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick
Friday, July 16th, 2010
Long wear lipsticks are traditionally drying, despite the fact that they all claim they are not. CoverGirl’s Continuous Color Lipstick lasts for hours, but it actually leaves your lips in better condition! We tried it for work and waited for the inevitable parched feeling but it never came – the lipstick lasted a full day at work. It’s no wonder; this lipstick is 50% moisturizers, including Vitamin E and Vitamin A. If you’re looking for a nice red matte lipstick, try their Really Red shade 575.

CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Shadow
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
If you have some extra time to play with different makeup looks, try CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Shadows. They have a collection of shadows for each eye color family – blues, greens, browns, and hazels. When we saw the palette for brown eyes, which includes gold, black, cream and silver, we though it would be a disaster. But when we followed the instructions, the colors actually did look very pretty together! We really liked the soft bristle brush that comes with the shadow, you get more professional looking results.
Tip: To stop your eye shadow from flaking on your cheeks when you apply it, reverse your makeup routine. Put your eyeshadow on first, then be sure to brush off misplaced eyeshadow before apply foundation and concealer.
