Battle of The Dove Deodorant Solids......Advanced Care VS Original

Well, when it comes to underarm protection, we all hope for dry, sweet-smelling arm pits.

We happen to think that the Dove brand does an excellent job of STOPPING the sweating, as an effective anti-perspirant/deodorant.

We have NOT encountered underarm wetness for several years now, using the ORIGINAL Invisible Solid in Powder.

And it's super cheap, at LESS than $3 at Walmart.

So, I decided to UP my no sweating underarm game with Dove's NEW Advanced Care 48-Hour Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant for LESS than $5 at Walmart.

Best of all, this scent comes in Caring Coconut.

Oh, yeah,.....My glorious underarms smelled just like a Pina Colada. No kidding!

Guess what?!

The coconut-fangled Dove did NOT keep my underarms dry.

Say what?  How could that be? 48-hour protection VS 24-hour protection?

No more Pina Colada deodorant for me....Back to basic Dove Original Invisible Solid in Powder.

Boring, but I swear you WON'T sweat wearing this one.

Are The Perfect Brows Via Trendy Microblading For You?

We all desire full, thick, gorgeous eye-framing brows. Some of us were born with brows with plenty of hairs to spare.

But for many women,  we've either plucked them away, or never really had full brows.

Thick eyebrows are more youthful-looking, help balance the features and look natural.

To achieve fab brows, most of us pencil them in, apply gel fiber serums on them, and so on.

There is ANOTHER way to BUILD the ideal pair of brows.......It's the hottest new beauty trend:

MICROBLADING......

We would LOVE to have this procedure performed on our brows but believe that to obtain incredible results, you need to find an incredible artist who can create the perfect pair for your individual facial features.

Make sure your brow tech is a LICENSED tattoo artist, because ink will be deposited in the brow area to paint in natural-looking hairs.

When done properly, microblading can result in star power eyebrows.

Check out a BEFORE + AFTER microblading  patient. Her BEFORE brows are awesome without the technique...Wish we had those. Still, the AFTER is gorgeous.

Microblading is a non-invasive beauty treatment that can fill in thin brows, hide hair gaps, create a better arch, re-define the brows, etc.

Your expert will apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable and as pain-free as possible. BUT----some women say it does HURT a bit. Like a 4 out of a 10 pain rating.

Microblading involves the skill and artistry of drawing hair-like strokes with a special tool. The technique mimics real brow hairs + how they lie on the face.

Microblading features pigment implanted under your skin with a manual handheld tool.

The results last about one year and the procedure can average about $1,000.
