Colgate Optic White Toothbrush and Built-Whitening Pen Review


I was super excited to be chosen to receive the Influenster Optic White Voxbox! I have been a long time fan of the Colgate Optic White toothpaste and mouth wash and couldn't wait to try this product!  This new product from Colgate is very inventive.  A toothbrush with a built in whitening pen is something I haven't seen before!  The convenience of having built- in storage space inside my toothbrush,  I  found very appealing.  I absolutely love the toothbrush, it felt very comfortable and easy to grip. Perhaps, the best manual toothbrush I have ever used.  The whitening pen itself was easy to use,  just twist the dial at the bottom and the gel comes out the applicator.  I found the consistency of the gel a little thick and seemed a bit messy when applying.  Only a minor issue.  However, it did dry quickly and adhere well to my teeth.   There was no unpleasant taste to the gel and I did not experience any tooth sensitivity.  I was satisfied with the whitening result.  Personally, I did not see a noticeable difference in two days.  However, I did see a difference starting on day four and I continued to see results during the two weeks I  use the product.   Not a dramatic difference, but I would say my teeth are at least 1-2 shades whiter.  I feel this is more affordable whitening option compared to the cost of other whitening products I have used in the past.  Overall, I would say I was pleased with the performance of this product and would repurchase in the future.

ELF STUDIO MAKEUP MIST & SET REVIEW









Hi everyone!  For the longest time I have been wanting to add a setting spray to my makeup routine. I have never tried one before but have been hearing so many wonderful things about them.  I was hesitant because many of the brands I have seen have been a bit pricey. While shopping at Target one day I found out that ELF had a setting spray.  I was eager to give it a try with it's 3 dollar price tag! I was a bit skeptical, but what did I have to lose!


I am so happy I did, I love this product! It has really made a difference in my appearance.  I wanted to achieve a more natural look.  Unfortunately, at my age powder can settle in my fine lines and look cakey.  After I apply my makeup I spray a light mist about
12 inches from my face with my eyes closed.  I use about three sprays, it is a little wet feeling but I just fan my face with my hands for a few seconds til it dries.  I know some people have said they have noticed an unpleasant smell with this product but I have not had that experience at all.  I don't smell a thing.  My face looks less cakey and more natural.  Exactly what I was hoping it would, I especially like to use it with a matte foundation.  I do feel my makeup last longer as well! 

I would recommend this to someone who wants a setting spray that works without the high price tag.  How it compare to those,  I can't say,  however I can say I have been really enjoying this product and will be repurchasing it over and over! Hope you find this review helpful!

A Smile is better then makeup!



Hi Everyone!  


 Recently,  I overheard a young attractive women with a gorgeous smile say,          "Sometimes I'm afraid to smile because I don't want wrinkles."  I know she was only joking, but I had to wonder if there was some truth in her statement. 


 Later that evening, as I was rubbing in my retinol face cream into 47 year old skin, her statement came back into my consciousness and it really made me stop and ponder.  Women in today's society are constantly being bombarded with anti-wrinkle cream and cosmetic procedure advertisements maybe this really isn't such a uncommon fear.  So, I decided to do some research...by research I mean I Googled.  I found 10 benefits to smiling and I wanted to share them with you.


1.  Smiling makes us more attractive.  Others are drawn to others smiling.

2.  Smiling lifts your face and makes you appear younger. 

3.  Smiling exercises your facial muscle and prevents saggy and droopy skin.

4.  Smiling can change your mood, it releases endorphins

5.  Smiling can decrease stress

6.  Smiley people are more sucessful

7.  Smiling makes others around you feel good

8.  Smiling is contagious

9.  Smiling helps promote a happy marriage

10. Smiling can lead to a longer life

So, tonight as I put on my face cream I will do it with a smile!


Keep smiling girls!
