Beautiful Smiles, Naturally

This unique and strong toothpaste has phenomenal breath freshening power. I like how it is natural, and gives a cute vintage feel to your bathroom.

"Couto Toothpaste (wrapped in fun retro orange packaging) was created in Porto, Portugal in 1932 by pharmacy manager, Dr. Alberto Ferreira Couto. Couto has been sold in the finest European perfumeries for over 70 years. Classic 1930’s inspired packaging adds a retro touch to any medicine cabinet and Couto’s formulation of natural peppermint, menthol, anethol, thymol and eugenol keeps teeth white and gums healthy. The toothpaste’s high quality has led to its continued success and popularity, and today in Portugal, “couto paste” is synonymous with toothpaste. The small production is still in the hands of the last heir of the Couto family, Alberto Gomes da Silva."

The Latest - Arlenis Sosa

"Lancome spokes model Arlenis Sosa was honored at The Latin Pride National Awards last Thursday night in Boston. These awards recognize the most successful representatives of the Latino community in sports, film, music, education—and of course, fashion. The annual celebration takes place in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month to commemorate and celebrate the positive contributions of the Latino community to the American culture. As many of you know, Arlenis hails from the Dominican Republic and is quite proud to represent her culture whether she’s in New York, or on a runway in Paris. Arlenis wore a gown by fellow Dominican Oscar de la Renta, a designer who has supported her every season that she’s been a model. Arlenis mentioned that she was quite nervous, especially when she looked out at the audience filled with Latinos, and was overcome with pride and gratitude. Arlenis just shot a major Lancôme makeup ad in Paris and is also hard at work on a special charity project to benefit the underprivileged in her country. In addition to all of that, Arlenis is currently in Europe taking part in the Spring 2010 collections."

ApHogee for Damaged Hair

This protein rich liquid is like a miracle for dry, hay like crispy hair. I loved the way it made my hair look so much more full after JUST ONE USE. It actually did seem like my hair was stronger, after the first use. It is easy to use, and doesn't take hours until it is done..more like 20 minutes (depending on how long it takes you to apply the product as well). I am not an expert, and I used it with ease. The directions are direct and easy to read. ApHogee Two Step Protein Treatment restores and mends dull, lifeless hair. It improves the texture and tone of severely damaged hair.

Step 1 puts protein back into the hair and bonds the cuticle, repairing it from the inside out, and protects it against future damage.

Step 2 infuses moisture into the hair. It is also great to use just before you color to get a more desirable, even color effect.

Pros: Hair is stronger, and conditions nails at the same time, if you use it with out gloves.

Cons: liquid can drip on clothing, due to its thin state out of the bottle. I suggest you use it with your head held over the bathtub. In addition, it has a very Strong smell, that may be undesirable (I use it anyway because I want strong, and beautiful hair).
