Tom’s Peppermint Wave Long-Lasting Wicked Fresh Mouthwash

Mouthwash, it’s one of those products I generally have in my cabinet and yet as obsessed as I am with having white teeth, I rarely use. Partially because I’m apprehensive about the alcohol content many of them carry but mostly it’s due to the taste.  I simply prefer to spend more time brushing my teeth –an action I very much enjoy.  Problem is with this heat and dehydration my mouth gets totally raunchy and over-brushing (something I’m I’ve been a victim of in the past) can actually be quite harmful.  Brushing in the AM and PM is enough, but what about the middle of the day when I need a pick me up?

The answer is Tom’s NEW Peppermint Wave Long-Lasting Wicked! Fresh Mouthwash.  I’m from Boston so I thought I’d be disappointed with any product with the word ‘wicked’ in it and figured if it were ‘long-lasting’ it would be very strong.  I could not have been more wrong; it was actually a pleasure to use it. It’s alcohol free and tasted great. I could actually gargle with it for over a minute without feeling like I would be foaming at the mouth.  The secret is

Smart Cover-Up Kit

I was recently sent the Smart Cover-Up Kit and I have really enjoyed playing with it for the past few weeks. The 10-piece set comes in two tones; Light Combo and Dark Combo.  Depending on your choice you’re then given 3 shades of concealing crème in addition to a Color Corrector, Moisture Primer Lotion, Cover Stick, Vitamin Beauty Stick, blending sponges, camouflage brush and a travel case.  I’m generally a medium-beige in foundation so I went with the Light Combo, which includes  Light Beige, Medium Beige & Dark Beige concealing crèmes.  That was a mistake!

Who wears the Gold by Giles dress better? I’ll give this one to Drew Barrymore, the face of the Gold by Giles Deacon collection; on one condition — they bring more of his designs to America!  I think that’s a fair request considering they choose an American brand ambassador.

This dress is awesome! Although I’m not photogenic, I will say this: it shaped so well and is very flattering in person.  The dress fits like a glove, although it does run small (especially if you’re busty).  However it’s lined and ribbed to really hold everything in place.  I just wish more of this collection was available in the US.  I couldn’t even find an official website for the brand! Although from what I could find out, the collection is exclusive to TheNewLook.com (super cute and reasonable fashion UK site) but the assortment currently available is very limited.  I want more!
