Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste

~Weekly Product Highlight~Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste~

Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have VERY sensitive teeth.  I cannot bite into an apple that is cold right out of the fridge, I cannot drink a glass of ice cold liquid without using a straw.  I cannot even think about doing either of those things without my teeth hurting.  So, when it comes to teeth whitening, my vanity does have its limits!!!  Of course I want to have white teeth, but at what price?!  I have tried all kinds of “teeth whiteners for sensitive teeth” and most have left me in serious pain!  I think that overall I have a somewhat high pain tolerance, but when it comes to the pain of sensitive teeth, NOPE, I am a huge baby!

Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comAll that being said, I received my first tube of Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste in a Target Beauty box a few months ago.  My teeth are so sensitive that I can usually tell after the first use of a whitening product if it is going to make my teeth hurt.  This product claims to be ” formulated to be used daily and is enamel-safe. When used as directed, Colgate Optic White has not been shown to increase sensitivity in consumers”  It also claims to give a noticeably whiter smile within 3 days (*best results seen after 4 weeks)  So with all those claims, I figured that I would give it a try.

Did this tooth paste make my teeth hurt…

Nope! When I first started using it I didn’t have any noticeable increase in my teeth’s sensitivity.  What I did notice though was when I flossed my teeth every day gums were a tiny bit tender, nothing too bad nor painful, but something that I was aware of.  Also, my lips have been a bit drier while I have been using this tooth paste.  I must also mention that I use this in combination with ACT Restoring Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash in Cool Mint.  (I have been using ACT for years and it really does help with my teeth’s sensitivity.)

Day One and Day three. Colgate Optic White Toothpaste | lookingjoligood.worpress.com

Did I have noticeably whiter teeth in 3 days…Yes!  When used consistently twice a day, I did notice that my teeth looked whiter /brighter after using this toothpaste for 3 days in a row. But… to be honest, I also had a dental appointment to get my teeth cleaned on day 3, so I don’t know if it was all the toothpaste or a combination of the two.

After those initial 3 days, I have since used the entire sample 0.75 oz size tube, as well as an entire tube in the 3 oz size and have started a new tube.  Now that I have consistently used this toothpaste my teeth are definitely whiter and brighter.  I am hooked!

Day One and Day three. Colgate Optic White Toothpaste | lookingjoligood.worpress.com
Not the most flattering of pictures.  But here is an idea of what my teeth looked like before using the Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste and after using it for 3 days.

Were my teeth super yellow to start off with? No. Are my teeth super duper brighten up the entire room white after using this? No, but are they whiter and brighter than they were when I started, yes!

I have recommended this toothpaste to both my sister and my sister in law and they are both loving it as well! I love sharing products I love with people I love!

What does the Colgate Website have to say about this product…

Dazzle Without the Hassle

Express White is Colgate’s fastest teeth whitening toothpaste ever.

  • Breakthrough formula offers whiter teeth in 3 days* just by brushing.
  • Professionally recommended whitening ingredient, hydrogen peroxide.
  • Contains 2x the whitening ingredient.**
  • Safe for daily use. Protects enamel and provides anti-cavity fluoride protection.

  • *For best results, use as directed for 4 weeks. **Vs Optic White® Sparkling Mint®.

“When used as directed, best results are achieved in 4 weeks, but to keep your white smile, continue to use. In addition to providing whitening results, Optic White® provides all of the benefits of standard fluoride toothpaste and can be used daily.
When using the entire Optic White® collection together, when should I use the Mouthwash? Before or after the whitening gel?  Use mouthwash prior to the Optic White® Whitening Pen. To get the desired results, the gel should be the last item you use after brushing your teeth.“

I haven’t tried out any of the other optic white products, but I am interested to see if they work out as well too. If you are interested in trying out this toothpaste or any of the other Optic White products HERE is a link to a $0.75 off coupon, http://www.colgate.com/en/us/oc/special-offers.  You know how much I love to save money!

What about you?  Have you tried out the Colgate Optic White Toothpaste?  What did you think?  How were your results?  Have you tried any of the other products in the Optic White line?  I’d love to hear about it!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM and the Miracle Skin Perfector BB DAILY ANTI-ACNE | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have been using this Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM for about 4 years now.  It is hands down my go to every day base.  It is very easy to blend and gives light to medium coverage.  One of my favorite things about it is that as it brightens and evens out the skin it still has a very lightweight feel on the skin.

During the winter months I am super pale, so the fair/light Skin Renew shade is a great color for me right now.  During the summer I use the light/medium, and even some times by the end of the summer I am even in the medium/dark shade.  I also really like that the skin renew has a 15 spf in it.  The light medium has more of a brown under tone, while the fair/light is more of a peach undertone.

The Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM light/medium is much lighter than the Skin Renew light/medium shade.  It is so much lighter that I can wear it during the winter months even when my skin is at its palest.  I prefer the finish of this one over the Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM.  It seems to last longer throughout the day and gives better coverage overall.

Oh Sugar! Lip Balm by Covergirl

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Oh Sugar! Lip Balm by Covergirl~

Oh Sugar! by Covergirl | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

The Oh Sugar lip balms by Covergirl are a nice alternative to very similar tinted balms on the market. There are 10 beautiful shades to choose from. With Grape seed oil and Avocado butter this balm is super smooth and silky. It glides on smoothly, moisturizes well and gives just enough sheer color that it can be applied without a mirror. It has a sweet light lemon citrus scent to it. (which is one of my favorite scents!)

Oh Sugar! by Covergirl | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

This is almost a perfect dupe for the fresh sugar rose, which you can get from Sephora.  The biggest difference between the Sugar Rose and the Oh Sugar?  The price, $24 compared to  $9.

Oh Sugar! by Covergirl | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
The covergirl Oh Sugar! has exactly the same feel, and the color of the shade Candy is pretty much spot on as well- ($8.99 at CVS, but don’t forget about coupons, sales, and extracare bucks!  You can get these lip balms for a steal!) I have seen them as low as $6.99 at Target, and $7.15 at Walmart.

Oh Sugar! by Covergirl | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Four different colors swatched. Cupcake, punch, soda and gumdrop.

What does the Covergirl website have to say about it…

COLORLICIOUS OH SUGAR! VITAMIN INFUSED BALM

 Treat your lips with colorlicious oh sugar! Vitamin infused lip balm.  With the help of grapeseed oil, avocado butter, and Vitamins C & E, it’s only natural that this delicious smelling lip treatment leaves your lips soft and nourished with a hint of sheer color.  Protect and repair lips with any of the 10 scented shades.

OVERVIEW
.    Infused with grapeseed oil, avocado butter & Vitamins C&E
.    Sheer tint adds in hint of lip color
.    Available in 10 scented shades

The COVERGIRL Guarantee. You’ll love it, or your money back.

Au Naturel 754A Nude Awakening Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I don’t go to Walmart very often, but I made an exception to get this Wet N Wild Au Naturel 754A Nude Awakening Palette. It is absolutely gorgeous! I am completely in love! Trust me, you need this in your life!  One thing that I love about Wet N Wild is that they are a Cruelty Free brand!  I really appreciate that they do not test on animals!

Wet N Wild Au Naturel 754A Nude Awakening Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
There are 5 shades there, I am just so pale that two of them don’t show up that well, haha!

The shadows are beautiful shades, they are buttery and smooth and have a great pigment. As far as I know this is exclusively sold at Walmart and Walmart.com. I paid less than $6 for this palette at the Walmart near me.

Au Naturel 754A Nude Awakening Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
This swatch doesn’t do justice to the small sparkles in the two darkest shadows.

Here is what the Walmart.com site has to say about this product…

“Get a little risque and go au naturel! Wet n Wild Au Naturel Eye Shadow features a palette of ten rose-hued shades that’s anything but ordinary. You’ve got every rose gold shade that tickles your fancy, from mattes to shimmers to satins to sparkles. Includes a jet-milled base, silicone technology, and pearl density for uber-pigmented, silky-smooth, and long-lasting wear.

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer~

Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

After seeing so many beauty YouTubes recommend this Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer by Maybelline, I figured I had to at least give it a try, and I am so glad that I did!

I absolutely love this Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer.  It covers and blends so beautifully. I have tried a lot of concealers, and this is the best so far. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage. It does not crease, goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave that white shadow that I hate that some concealers leave.  Also,when and if I decide to bring it down into a triangle onto my face, it doesn’t seep into my pores or fine lines.

It comes in 6 different shades.  Fair, Light, Medium, Honey, Neutralizer, and Brightener.  My favorite so far is 160 Brightener.

Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

One downfall I’ve noticed is that it seems to wear off a little quicker than I would like.  Although, when set with a finely milled under eye powder it seems to last much better.  Also, when necessary, it can be reapplied without causing too much caking or creasing.  Another downfall is that despite having 6 shades, none are really great for darker skin.

I love the design of the packaging.  Since most concealers have a doe foot applicator, it is quite a different application experience from the other concealers that I have used.  Also because of the design of the packaging, it is easier to not go overboard and apply too much.  A little bit does go a long way (another added bonus.)

The Ulta Website give a great description of the way to use it…(which can also be found on the back of the package it comes in.)

“Turn collar of the micro-corrector applicator in direction of arrows until product is visible on sponge. This may require a number of turns. Adjust accordingly for desired amount of product. Using applicator, apply concealer directly to under-eye area, blending in an outward motion. To apply more, twist collar of applicator 1-2 clicks at a time. For best results, use sparingly. For extreme dark circles, apply the neutralizer shade underneath your concealer shade. Use the brightener shade to add a luminous touch to inner corner of eyes, cheek and brow bones and bridge of nose.”

(ps: I don’t know why, but I love the word sparingly, lol!)

What does the Maybelline website have to say about it?…

“Active Formula and Micro-Corrector Applicator erase dark circles, puffiness and fine lines instantly.

Why You’ll Love It

• Micro-Corrector Applicator micro-fills and smoothes.
• Active formula with Haloxyl reduces the look of puffiness and shadows while fading the appearance of under-eye circles.
• Apply neutralizer shade for extreme dark circles.
• Brightener shade adds a luminous touch.

For Best Results

Use applicator to apply concealer directly to under-eye area, blending in an outward motion.  Wipe off excess eye concealer with dry tissue only.  Do not wet applicator.”

Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

GRAPEFRUIT NATURALLY SMOOTH LIP BALM

Because I am always on the lookout for my next favorite chapstick/lip balm I keep buying more and more.

I purchased this one not only just because I love chapstick/lip balm, but also because I love grapefruit. While I love to buy new chapstick/lip balms,  I am actually very picky about my lip products.

I love this Yes to Grapefruit Lip Balm!

Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI think that this one is very quickly becoming my favorite of all lip balms!  It leaves my lips very smooth and it has a nice scent. I love that the balm is actually shaped like your lips.

For me, lip balm is a daily way of life, not just once a day but many times throughout the day and especially at bedtime.

One thing I don’t like about some chapsticks/lip balms is they are just too heavy and waxy. This one is pure enjoyment.  It is light, fresh, smooth, and shiny. I can’t always find it in stores where I live, and then I get nervous that it has been diacontinued, but then I will find it again and of course I buy it to always have back up! (Do you do that too?!)

Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

What does the Yes to Website have to say about it…

“Smooth lip balm on your lips. Notice how the shape matches the curve of your lips. Repeat as needed. Why were lip balms ever round, anyways?

The Formula: A mix of moisturizing Aloe, Cocoa, and Shea Butter deliver intense hydration and moisturization (talk about a triple threat!)
The Flavor: A delicious grapefruit treat to wake you and your gorgeous lips up.
The Packaging: Consumers preferred this sleek, oval shape, because it fits easily everywhere, and applies nicely around lips.

Yes to…an awesome new lip balm with a refreshing flavor that fits just about anywhere!

~Weekly Product Highlight~

Dandelion Ultra Plush Soft Pearly Pink Lip Gloss $16.00

I bought this lip gloss a little while back and for some reason completely forgot about it and never used it.  I was just recently sorting through and cleaning up some of my makeup and I rediscovered it.  Not really thinking about it I put it and and instantly fell in love!

I am so picky when it comes to lip glosses.  I don’t like for my lips to feel uncomfortable at all!  This one glides on so smoothly and it is so silky, not sticky at all.  It has a nice light pleasant scent.  It also has a nice light faint pink color, not too pigmented, but it is also not meant to be pigmented.  It gives a natural but beautiful sheen to the lips.

Benefit Dandelion | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

What does the Benefit website say about it?

“WHY WE LOVE IT

Our plush glosses glide on extra smooth and feel ahhh-mazing. The six irresistible shades, from sultry nudes to punchy pinks, come in soft-squeeze tubes with a custom tip designed for perfectly even application.

Mauve Over! Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood3 Comments

maybelline sensational lipsticks | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI am a big fan of Maybelline, they offer so many great makeup products at a reasonable price.

I’m very particular when it comes to the way that lip products feel on my lips. I do not like lipsticks that make my lips feel dry and uncomfortable.  I hate it when my lips hurt for days after wearing a lip product.  I haven’t found that to be an issue with the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks.  They are so smooth and comfortable to wear. After I tried my first shade I liked it so much that I went back and purchased three more!

When it come to choosing a lipstick shade I always find myself leaning towards mauve.  Mauve is a color that can have a wide range of shades.  Magnificent Mauve #430 is a lighter pink based mauve, while Mauve It Up #440 is a more purple/blue berry toned mauve. Mauve Mania #450 is a reddish mauve.  On the Mauve #445 is my favorite.  It has purple/brown under toned and is just beautiful.  With its blue tinge it makes my teeth look whiter. There are several other different shades, formulas, and finishes of mauve to choose from the Lip Sensational Lipsticks.

Maybelline Mauve | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

If you are not interested in Mauve, I recommend you check out some of the other 32 Lip Sensational Lipsticks shades.  They are so rich in pigment and creamy in texture!   With 32 different shades available from light corals and nudes to deep vampy purple reds, you are bound to find a perfect shade for you.

Have you ever tried any of the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks?  What is your go to lipstick shade? What is your favorite type of lipstick finish? What is your favorite brand of lipstick? Let me know in the comment section below.

Drugstore Haul Review

Good Buy or Goodbye?!

If you know me, you know that I love Target!  They take all of my paper and mobile coupons, plus they have cartwheel.

Back in October, I bought all of these things at Target and posted a Target Mini Makeup Haul.  Since then, I have had time to use some of the products for a while now, and I am ready to give a review on them.

Once again I am going to use the simple “Good Buy” or “Goodbye” rating 😉

Drugstore Haul | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Here is what I got:

Ultimate 10 BB Creme Conditioner and Nature Fusion Moisturizing Shampoo with Melon Essence.  I love Pantene!  It is my all time favorite shampoo/conditioner brand!  Even when I have used other higher end brands of hair care I always end up coming back to Pantene.  I am sad to say though that neither of these specific two worked out for me.  I have very straight fine some what oily hair.  The BB conditioner left my hair feeling weigh down and the moisturizing shampoo was just too moisturizing and not cleaning enough.  Pantene is a good buy, but neither of these two were.  So it will be goodbye to both.

Maybelline Fit Me lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have been enjoying the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and wanted to try out theFit Me Concealer.  Nope, can not figure out what all the hype is about?!  I don’t like this concealer at all.  Maybe I got a bad tube but it does nothing for me!  I don’t really even have dark circles under my eyes, but I still like to try to brighten up my under eye area.  I may as well be putting nothing on my face because that is what it looks like.  Goodbye!

 

YES to Grapefruit facial wipes | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI love the YES to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub,  I was hoping these facial wipes would be good as well.  I like the way they smell and feel, but unfortunately they stung my face and gave me a bit of a red raised rash.  Obviously anything that irritates my skin and causes me pain is a Goodbye!

I say it all the time, I love Maybelline mascaras.  I have heard so many great things about the Lash Sensational Mascara but I have never tried it.   I figured I would give it a try to see if it lives up to the recommendations.  I have to be honest, I have so many other mascaras that I still need to use up before they go bad, that I haven’t even opened this one yet.  So…good buy/goodbye?  I still don’t know.

Vanilla-Mint eos | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI gave the EOS Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint Lip Balm a try. Let’s face it, the EOS lip balm packaging is super cute, but overall that is where it ends!  I have tried the Strawberry one, and was less than impressed by it.  I was told that the vanilla mint one is different and better than the others.  It is definitely better than the strawberry one, but I don’t overly love it.  I have used better lip balms that have cost a lot less.  Also, I feel like so much of the product gets wasted because of the egg shaped design. After wearing this lip balm my lips don’t feel any more moisturized. At $3 each they are just ok, I have to say this is a Goodbye.

The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes for Sensitive Skin wipes  were just ok. They get my face makeup off pretty well. I can get some of my waterproof mascara off, but not much of it at all.  If I really want to try to get my mascara off, I end up having to really work at it.  The wipes start to dry out before I can get it all off.  If I use the wipes too much around my eye area they end up burning my eyes like crazy, so yeah, I’m not into that at all! I have to say Goodbye to these wipes.

I had a coupon for the Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash and decided to give it a try.  It smells delightful.  Nothing overly special about it.  It was a good price and it gets me clean without drying out my skin, so I guess it is a good buy.

If you are interested in seeing some other things I have recently purchased and have been trying out, check out my recent mini drugstore haul by clicking HERE.  Check out my recent haul reviews by clicking HERE.

Have you tried any of these products?  Did something that didn’t work for me work out awesome for you or vise versa?  Let me know!
