My experience with the deodorant has been good, it’s easy to apply, smells [...]]]> Dove’s got a new anti-perspirant deodorant on the market and I got a free sample a while back.    Dove Visibly Smooth is said to “visibly diminish the visual appearance of hair over time.”  It contains Pro-Epil Complex with natural extracts and Dove moisturizers.

My experience with the deodorant has been good, it’s easy to apply, smells good (I tried wild rose) and keeps the effects of perspiring down.  As far as the softening of hair,  it feels like it’s coming in slighty softer than normal in my third week and looks pretty much the same. 

Keep in mind I have VERY coarse dark underarm hair (I know TMI)  and light skin…  it would take a LOT to reduce the visual effect of that contrast. I am for sure a hard customer to please in this venue because of my physical characteristics.  

As a survivor of the tortuous epilady, I feel that anything painless that can even slightly reduce my work load in the underarm area is worth it.  If you’re on the fence, I think it’s worth a shot, what do you have to lose?  it’s not like there’s anything comparable that will “diminish the visual appearance of hair over time” and doesn’t hurt. 

The product works for me in the most important aspect, it keeps me totally dry and fresh so I know I”ll be buying Dove Visibly Smooth deodorant again some time soon.

On top of that Oral-B has outdone themselves with the features available with this toothbrush.  From the pressure sensor alert to the brushing guide which lets you know how long [...]]]> Looking for the last minute gift?  The Oral B Triumph with Smart Guide is a good choice for the season.  For starters, a toothbrush is always useful.

On top of that Oral-B has outdone themselves with the features available with this toothbrush.  From the pressure sensor alert to the brushing guide which lets you know how long you’ve been brushing.  You really have to use it to believe it!

One of my favorite features is the “replace brush head alert”.  It’s nice to know for sure that it’s time to replace.  I can be on the cheap side so when I see that alert I’ll know for sure to buy another. 

If you’re buying as a gift rest assured, there’s something here for everybody!  The four brushing modes cover everyone!

• Clean – which does just that, it gives you that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling
• Sensitive – which is a little gengler for people with sensitive gums
• Massage – is a great setting to stimulate your gums which I’ve never tried to do
• Polish – is an all over polishing mode tat get your teeth whiter

Enjoy the holiday season and brush in 2009 with cleaner, whiter teeth.

By now most bloggers (and blog readers?) know about the adorable little moo cards.  I was pleased to receive a little gift of moo recently and it is absolutely true! good things DO come in small packages!

The same great moo idea but on a full size business card!  yay! *ok* have you stopped jumping for joy [...]]]>  

By now most bloggers (and blog readers?) know about the adorable little moo cards.  I was pleased to receive a little gift of moo recently and it is absolutely true! good things DO come in small packages!

The same great moo idea but on a full size business card!  yay! *ok* have you stopped jumping for joy yet?  You can pick up to 50 images for your cards (just like moo), upload your own image and fill in all your tidbits on the back (just like moo).  I got mine all the same but wouldn’t it be cute to get different family pics?

I love the weight and size of these cards, pardon me for saying so, but I found the little ones cute but cute is not always a good thing in business.  These business size cards are a lot less easy to lose and there’s plenty of space to fill in other important info.

Through it all I smiled to myself the whole time because I had Orlane’s Serum Super Hydratant.  I love this stuff, it’s light, fresh, has a great scent and glides on smooth!  My skin feels great and is so soft I can’t stand it.  You just feel the difference when you’re using a quality product and Orlane is it.  It goes on so nicely you don’t need a lot and you see the difference immediately.  This product is perfect under make up because it’s not greasy or slimy like some other moisturizers.  It’s also great on its own without make up like I did today.  My skin looked so good I didn’t bother with make up!

Some products are just too  far out of reach to even bother [...]]]> What do you consider when picking products?   If you have allergies or seriously sensitive skin, that may be your first consideration.  If you don’t have those issues, most likely you are looking at the price tag early on in the decision making process. 

Some products are just too  far out of reach to even bother looking at.  I love Dr. Perricone’s line, but a $500+ price tag is just too much to even bother with.  I have his cleanser and have used the supplements in the past which I really liked but with 3 college educations to save for, $500+ is out of my league.   There are lots of products I’d like and I’m sure work better than cheaper choices.

So, what’s a girl to do? there’s only one way to balance our posh desires with financial responsibility… Picking reasonably priced products in our beauty repertoire!  Save where you can, for some it will be on mascara, on others it will be on moisturizers, nail polish or (insert your idea)  then splurge on one or two items.

Another way to save is with a signature product, for me,  it’s my fragrance, morning, noon and night I’m wearing Chanel Gardenia.  This one step saves me time and money, not to mention the dusty clutter of lots of perfume bottles.   I just can’t imagine wearing anything else AND it has the added benefit of a nice collection (I’m up to 6) of the same bottle.

  A while back I bought Stainiac from Sephora.com  I remember using it a few times but TOTALLY forgot about it for the past 3 months at least. 

I just found it in my husband’s medicine cabinet! What the heck has he been doing?@>!!  Anyway, I am back in love with it, it’s back in my make-up bag (my favorite one that is) ready for use! 

Girl2004 is into me putting make up on her, I’ve tried giving her a chapstick but she keeps losing it, so the past two days I’ve been putting this on her to blush her cheeks and stain her lips.  I really like when I can use one product for two things like that, it’s a good value @ $14 and very practical to use.
