Beauty Routine with Reach Complete {Oral} Care

One of the most important beauty routines that any girl can have is a good oral routine. Having a beautiful smile can make all the difference that a new lipstick or dress can bring. And it’s a simple process that starts with purchasing a toothbrush that removes plaque, polish the teeth, and adds freshness to the gums.


 
Reach Complete Care has a new line of tooth brushes that are affordable and provide the ultimate oral care. The brand features an industry first: patent pending triple angle technology, providing three different angles of bristle cleaning – left, straight and right. The technology maximizes vertical surface contact for superior plaque removal and an unprecedented total mouth cleaning worthy of the name “complete.”
The new brushes have the following qualities:

 

  • 13° triple angled neck
  • Triple angled bristles maximize contact with each tooth
  • Bi-level bristle design with extra prominent REACH Tip™ containing whitening bristles
  • Soft thumb rest for comfort and performance
  • Tongue Cleaner
  • Ergonomic lightweight handle
  • Available in SOFT, MEDIUM, and FIRM bristles

I had the chance to sample their toothbrushes and received amazing results. Personally, I like the grip style and angled bristles because you want to adequately hold the brush for positive results. The new colors were also a nice plus, especially in my home because you want to make a clear distinction between the toothbrushes.

To purchase a Reach toothbrush visit your local drugstore or grocery store and enjoy the results!

Kim Kardashian {West} GQ’s Woman of The Year – Wearing Ralph & Russo Skirt

Kim Kardashian gave a “wow” factor when she appeared at the GQ Woman of The Years Awards wearing a stunning two piece dress.  The design is actually a fitted latex bodysuit (Atsuko Kudo) and beaded skirt with a fishtail train from Ralph & Russo.

Kim’s accessories were very simple with a beaded bracelet and strappy Tom Ford pumps.  I like the combination of this style…very sexy, glamorous, and couture.  Fashionistas, what do you think?

Palmers Products: Beauty Buys to Combat Hair & Skin

Let’s talk about beauty products you need to have in your life! As several of you may not know, I suffer from dry skin…all year long. I am constantly searching for something to help combat my never ending skin care issues.

I was contacted to try Palmer’s new products, ranging from dry mist oil to spray lotion. I have a history of using Palmer’s throughout my pregnancy and for minor blemishes. Eager to open my box, this package lived up to my expectations and more!

But it wasn’t just about the packaging, every product was outstanding and I have three favorites: Rapid Spray Moisture Lotion, Cocoa Butter Formula Heel Repair, and Skin Therapy Oil.

The Rapid Spray Lotion definitely comes in handy when you’re busy and need to apply lotion quickly. And you can carry this bottle in your tote if you need to re-apply. After trying another brand’s spray lotion, I personally feel this is the better option because it lasts longer and makes the skin glow due to having Vitamin E, Cocoa Butter, and Aloe.

The Cocoa Butter Heel Repair can also be used in between pedicures and with your nightly beauty routine along with the Skin Therapy Oil (for your face) but I’ve also applied this to other skin blemishes.

To purchase Palmer’s products, visit your local drugstore or online at Palmer’s.com
