Luster Premium White 1 Hour White



















In theory, this at home tooth whitening light system is great. In reality, who has the dedication to devote one whole hour of painting their teeth with the solution and then holding the light to their mouth 10 times in a row? This kit may work but I'd rather slap on Crest White Strips and and go about my business.

Sam Villa Bamboo Styling Brush


This is one serious brush.
Don't press too hard-- these boar bristles are tough stuff.
Once I got used to being able to brush my hair without a death-grip on the handle, it was great.
Made my hair all smooth and nice.
Non-static, just finishes your look.
Sam Villa does it again!

Temptu: Build-a-Bundle AIRbrush Makeup System


As someone who doesn't usually even wear foundation, the Temptu AIRbrush was very intimidating to me. The instructions and DVD made it seem so easy, though...
I tried it before going out with the girls one Friday night.
Hello, FLAWLESS SKIN!
I didn't use the highlighter--I'm pretty good about providing my own shine, but the foundation and blush were OUTSTANDING.
The application was super-easy. The hardest part was getting the little plugs to stay in place when I was done.
It took about 3 minutes. The last time I wore foundation & blush took me close to 10.
I think I could get it down to about 1 minute.
My friend commented on my great skin, and I got a truly horrible pick-up line*, so I am counting my first Temptu outing as a complete success!
More expensive than I am generally comfortable with, but they have some great sales, and sometimes Sephora will even discount.
Worth the investment!!!
