Dry Idea AdvancedDry® Fresh Giveaway & Sweepstakes

I was excited to hear that Dry Idea recently came out with an even better formula to keep you fresh and dry.  Read more and Glamamama will tell you all about it. 

I have been using Dry Idea anti-perspirant and deoderant for a while now.  I like to experiment with the different scents depending on my mood.  I find it to be an economical and easy way to stay fresh and dry every day.  I will admit, I always added an extra swipe just before my boot camp workouts just to be sure!   Well, now I think I might not need to worry about adding an extra swipe because there is NEW Dry Idea AdvancedDry® Fresh!  It provides clinical level protection without those crazy prices.

With superior odor protection that lasts for 72 hours and PulseActivated Wetness Protection, NEW DryIdea AdvancedDry® Fresh brand antiperspirant and deodorant keeps you feeling clean and confident all day long. It is also formulated with Vitamin E for silky smooth application. Dry Idea AdvancedDry® Fresh is an incredible combination of antiperspirant and a deodorant.  It comes in unscented or Powder Fresh with minerals so you can choose your own weapon against odor!

I have to dress formally for work but I am in and out of offices all day long for my job.  Basically running around like a loon in heels but I have too look great and smell good. I always worry about making sure I am fresh throughout the day.  I have tried so many products that claim they are super antiperspirants and deodorants but they don't always work so great...with Dry Idea AdvancedDry® Fresh I don't seem to have to worry at all.  It has been working throughout the day.....and even the evening. Last week I had an event after work and didn't get home until really late.  I was amazed that I was fresh all night long and I checked (lol) to make sure too!

Loreal Paris BB Cream for beautiful skin Review #MagicBBCream

#MagicBBCream @LOrealParisUSA @SheSpeaksUp
I was excited to be selected as a member of SheSpeaks to try a great new product from L'Oréal.   I love L'Oreal products and find them to be right on par with the super fancy products in the department stores without all the crazy prices.  We all need to look beautiful but it is nice to be able to do that and save a few $$ at the same time, right?  This new product delivers just like I knew it would. I love the way my skin looks and feels when I use it.

Well you can do that with L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. It is an innovative product that really gives you beautiful, sheer coverage so you can create a natural bare skin finish but it also delivers built-in skincare benefits at the same time. It actually has four beautifying actions: this all-in-one innovation primes and smooths, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. All the things we really need for everyday!  L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin to give you 24-hour moisturization too

It is super easy to apply and get right the first time too. You simply dot on and blend with your clean fingertips. Just so you know it initially comes out of the tube white. Don't be concerned.  It contains these self-adjusting beads to instantly transform and blend to your exact skin tone.  My face looks great when I use it and I am sure yours will too. Very natural looking!  L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. The tube is the perfect size for at home and travel too....not too big but enough to last a while.  It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide including Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade and CVS.
