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.

Stylish Nicole Richie Steps Out In Trendy Patchwork Faux Fur Jacket

We like Nicole Richie, because she has a unique sense of style in both jewelry + fashion.

Plus, she seems to wear clothing well.

Check out petite Nicole all warm + cozy in the latest winter trend:

The Patchwork Faux Fur Jacket.

Hmmm. We generally don't seem too wild about ANYTHING patchwork.....BUT---after seeing this star looking urban chic in the ensemble, we are LOVIN' it.

You can DUPE the look for LESS, because patchwork fur seems to be everywhere on shopping sites.
We found a great-looking faux piece.....featured below:

This striking patchwork piece is from Revolve, Tularosa,  on SALE - $209. The Averly Faux Fur Coat.

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.

Are You Ready For Sexy, Chocolate Glitter Lips In 2017?

You don't have to follow EVERY makeup trend you see coming down the fashion runway.

But if you're bold, playful and a little bit naughty, then this look is for you!

Dark lips are BACK for Spring/Summer 2017.

So, if you miss those chocolate brown puckers of days gone by, get ready to up your beauty game.

Famous pro makeup artist Pat McGrath showed off the glam trend at the S/S 2017 DKNY show.

She topped off her models' cocoa lips with some fab, fun glitter.

I LOVE this look but would probably never dare it.

But, brown lipstick is lovely.....Check out this affordable example in Revlon's Choco-Liscious 665,  At ULTA, $8.49.

You can add your glitter, if you like. Pat McGrath is selling her own Lust 004 Kits at $60 a pop. SOLD OUT, already.

Check them out here.

If you're broke, we understand. Have a Hershey bar, instead. Get your chocolate on that way.

Dove Dry Shampoo: Cheap, Effective And Volumizing

Dry shampoo is quite the versatile hair aid when you need to de-grease, boost volume and add fragrance to stale hair. 

We've ALL been there once in a while---oily, dirty, messy tresses. And NOT much time to primp.

We have tried tons of dry shampoo sprays, and NOW, we have found another WINNER:

Dove Refresh + Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo ($3.49), at RiteAid.com.

You CAN'T beat that rock-bottom price!

The scent isn't bad. Reminds us a bit like a fragrant dry-cleaner's scent, if that is even possible to imagine.

This dry shampoo give LOTS of body + boost.

Dry shampoos are great to have on hand and can help EXTEND the life of your blow-out.

We have dark brown, almost black locks, and sometimes we notice the spray will leave behind a little white residue, but your hair dryer can make it disappear pronto.

Heidi Klum Wraps Up In Gray Duster, Arriving At LAX

Airport style. 

Some women have it, and some do not. And let's face it, we really are looking for casual comfort when traveling in the friendly skies.

Project Runway's Heidi Klum is a veteran supermodel, and she understands about the perfect traveling ensemble.

Here she is, Wednesday, arriving home in L.A., following a solo business trip.

Heidi looks casually-chic.

We LOVE Heidi's comfy ripped jeans, white tee, sneakers, large patterned tote bag and big gray duster. That kind of coat is warm + versatile and looks great dressed down or dressed up. The length is midi + ideal for fall/winter.

Heidi's simple bun + classic aviators give the supermodel a polished, chic look.

To COPY Heidi Klum's airport style, check out gorgeous dusters like this one--- from the UK's Boohoo.com. It's called the Kate Belted Shawl Collar Coat ($35).

You might not like ALL the ensembles Kim Kardashian West puts together, but you have to admit that girlfriend is keen on premiering stuff many women want to wear.

Let's look at the choker trend. It remains HUGE. Some people hate the look, because NOT every woman looks gorg in a choker, or feels comfortable wearing one.

But----KK LOVES her chokers, and already last August, she was showing off the DENIM choker.

Some girls laughed at it, but it became a cool + affordable fashion accessory. It's not really jewelry, but, it's very now.......and if you can CUT + SEW, you could make your OWN denim choker.

For lazy chicks like myself, you can buy one for CHEAP here at Forever21. Just $9.90.  A great budget fashion buy.
