Get your feet ready for summer

Tweezerman has got your back--or, to be more accurate, your feet!
Check out the new Pedro Too, ergonomically designed to remove the rough spots from your feet. It is cute enough to look good on the bathroom counter as well.

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!!!

*If I were a squirrel, would you let me out my nut in your hole. That is what he said. For reals.

dr. brandt detoxifying anti-oxidant water booster® goji-maqui


This is pumped full of anti-oxidants and vitamins. A dropper full is equal to 15 cups of green tea. I put it in my water and had at it. Unfortunately, the taste is odd. The more I drank the less I enjoyed it. It is much easier to drink when you put it in hot water. I'm not sure if it works but I'll tell you that I will be putting it in my mug when I feel a cold coming on. That's for sure.

Tweezerman 10x Lighted Mirror


As much as I am anti-magnification of my imperfections, especially on my face, it is sometimes very useful to see clearly.

Anything to keep your arches from becoming apostrophies, right?

This new mirror from Tweezerman could be worth the investment, especially if your eyesight is not what it once was...

And a light--who doesn't love that?

Tweezerman Pushy and Nail Cleaner


We all know that Tweezerman is the Rolls of beauty tools. It comes as no surprise then that the pushy and nail cleaner is another essential to add to your arsenal. Dab some lotion onto your nails and push the gentle stainless steel against your cuticles. It doesn't scratch or scrape the nail bed either. The round end is for cleaning under the nail. Ideal for both manis and pedis.
