Hairfreé Brushes - Review & Giveaway

http://www.hairfree.bz/images/others/hairfree_logo.jpg

The average person loses between 40 and 120 strands a day! I have very long and thick hair and I would guess at least half of those hair strands lost are tangled in my brush. Like many women, I struggle with built up hair in my brush. Cleaning my brush always feels like a tedious chore. I am able to remove large clumps of hair but there are always smaller strands intertwined with the brush bristles. To remove those, I normally grab a pair of tweezers and slowly begin to remove each strand of hair, one by one. I'm sure you know exactly where I am coming from and understand how frustrating and time consuming cleaning a brush can be. When it is all said and done, I am either beyond aggravated or on my way to the store to purchase a new brush.

Hairfreé has a an ingenious product - a brush that cleans itself! To remove hair from your Hairfreé brush, simply pull the handle. You will see the black plates that were previously flush to the body of the brush move outward all while lifting the hair from the brush. All that is left for you to do is grab the hair off the top of the brush and discard.

Hairfreé brushes are so versatile! No matter your ethnicity or the type of hair you have, be it fine, thick, curly or straight hair, Hairfreé brushes work well. They will flawlessly transform your hair from frizzy to silky without the dry, frazzled breakage caused by a flat iron. Hairfreé brushes are great for styling your hair. The brushes use ceramic technology for faster heating and drying times. Hair styles can benefit from the ceramic technology to become smoother and shinier while drying quickly. Hairfreé brushes are a great alternative to using a flat iron daily. The brush plates are ceramic coated so they retain the heat from your blow dryer.

Hairfreé brushes worked great! Normally it takes me an hour or longer to achieve the above results. I couldn't believe my Hairfreé made my hair this straight! It was so convenient and easy to use as a styling tool and cleaning my brush was so simple. I know several women who prefer hard bristles, and would love Hairfreé. Personally, I prefer flexible bristles and found Hairfreé to be a little rough on my scalp. Overall, Hairfreé is a "must have" product for every woman. These brushes are such a time saver! The flat brush includes a mirrored back, making this perfect for on the go. I am ecstatic to have discovered Hairfreé!

Affordable Eyeshadow Palettes and Makeup Brushes - Review

http://www.bhcosmetics.com/images/t/url3.jpg

Eyeshadow is the best way to accentuate your eyes and add drama to your look. Applying eyeshadow can be a lot of fun. You can apply subtle shadow for a natural look, apply bright colors to really make your eyes pop or even apply eyeshadow to match your outfit. Eyeshadow is my favorite cosmetic product to use but they can become so expensive. Some eye shadow palettes cost well over $100.00! I was searching online for an affordable eyeshadow palette and came across BH Cosmetics.

120 palette
BH Cosmetics provides contour and blush palettes, eye shadow palettes, lip palettes and makeup brushes. I recently received the 1st Edition 120 Color Palette. I admit, I was very skeptical. I thought there was no way possible a 120 eyeshadow palette could cost under $30.00 and actually be a good shadow!

When I received my shadow palette, I was expecting several colors to be broken and scattered throughout the palette. Every single shadow was in tact with not a single color broken. I appreciate the fact that BH Cosmetics took the time to carefully package my palette.

vibrant eyeshadow resultsI found the eyeshadow in the 120 Color Palette to be highly pigmented. I was able to apply the eyeshadow with ease. You won't need to cake the shadow on as they are so rich in color, you only need to swipe each color across your lid once. This palette includes every color you would possibly need from blues, browns, grays, pale shimmers, pinks, greens, reds, vibrant bold shimmers and everything in between. I have been using this palette exclusively for several weeks now. I love that this palette can be used for everyday wear! The colors blend very nicely and are long lasting. I have tried several color variations and haven't seen any of them crease. I am still in shock that BH Cosmetics offers a 120 eyeshadow Palette for such a small price!

Here are a few more details:
  • One palette contains 2 layers,portable and convenient to use.
  • Long lasting, easy to match different make-up styles !
  • Super-fine Powder Produce even and long lasting makeup.
  • Feels light and soft.
  • Easily create clear and brilliant eye makeup finish.
  • Includes matte and shimmer colors.
  • Case size is 9" x 6"
I also received the 10 Piece Deluxe Brush Set (wood color). I was very impressed with the high quality of these brushes. They are very soft and worked great for applying and blending my multiple eyeshadow shades.

10 piece deluxe brush set
The 10 eye shadow brushes are neatly stored in a convenient black zipper case. The brushes included in this kit are:
  • Powder brush
  • Blush brush
  • Foundation brush
  • Smudge brush
  • Large eyeshadow brush
  • Small eyeshadow brush
  • Eyebrow brush
  • Lip brush
  • Pointed Eye Liner Brush Mascara brush
The advantage of natural hair is that it has scales which traps the makeup on the bristles. These scales of the hairs hold the pigments and transfer it to your skin effectively when applied. I noticed that these brushes really pickup the color. One of the problems I have with my other brushes is the hair or bristles falling out. I haven't had that happen with the brushed in this kit.

Luster 1 Hour White Review



Luster Premium Whitening brand provides consumers the opportunity to whiten their teeth at home using the latest technology. Luster offers three options for giving you a bright and youthful smile: 1 Hour White, Weekend White and Luster White 7.
I have never considered my teeth to be attractive. They have been stained for as long as I can remember. Through the many years of smoking and drinking countless cups of coffee and tea, my teeth have really started to turn yellow. I find it embarrassing to smile and constantly worry of what other people with think.

I recently had the opportunity to try Luster 1 Hour White. Before I share my review, let's go over the product details.
  • Dentist-Designed, FDA Cleared
  • Similar Technology To Dentist Light Treatments
  • Available Over The Counter - No Prescription Required
  • Get Up To 6 Shades Whiter In Just 1 Hour!
  • No Tooth Sensitivity
  • Safe
  • Effective
  • Includes Activating Whitening Light + Stand, Whitening Gel, Accelerating Mouth Rinse, 4AAA Batteries

How To Use: Install the included batteries into the activating light. Rinse with the accelerator mouth rinse for 10 seconds. Next, brush the super whitening gel on each individual tooth. The final step is to hold the activating light up to your teeth. Turn the light on once you have it in position. The light will automatically shut off after 2 minutes to reveal a brighter smile.

My Thoughts: The instructions were very clear and easy to understand. I have used whitening strips and rinses in the past and they all seem to make my teeth especially sensitivity. I was able to use 1 Hour White without experiencing the least bit of sensitivity.

The Accelerating Mouth Rinse has a slight taste, but not at all terrible. The Whitening Gel has a bottle and brush similar to a bottle of White-Out. The brush made it very easy to apply to my teeth with perfect precision, minus the mess. Once the Whitening Gel dried (takes just a few seconds), I was ready to use the Whitening Light.

There were a few occasions where I became impatient and turned my light off early to repeat the process. One hour may seem like a long time, but it beats using strips every single day. If you feel an hour is too long, you may prefer to whiten you teeth in one application one day and finish the remaining 10 applications another day.

Stained TeethAfter 30 Minutes / 10 -2 Minute Applications

Whitening Results I had to see my dentist this week for an abscessed wisdom tooth and I brought my Luster 1 Hour White with me to hear his opinion. Based on the products in the kit and the ingredients used, he thought this would be an excellent whitening product. His only suggestion was to have a professional cleaning prior to whitening to achieve maximum results. As you can see, I received great results with just one 30 minute use. According to the shade guide, my teeth are 4 shades lighter! I was very surprised in the difference, especially after just using 1 Hour White for 30 Minutes. I may consider having my teeth cleaned prior to my next use, although I don't think it is completely necessary since I was able to achieve such amazing results without a cleaning.
