Colgate has rolled out their latest toothpaste from their line of oral care products. Introducing, New Colgate Daily Repair Toothpaste. 

This special formula of toothpaste offers these benefits:

I have been using Daily Repair for a week now and it works well, leaving my mouth feeling fresh and clean. I particularly like Colgate Total toothpaste because I experience a longer lasting freshness. Who wouldn't want that? The Colgate brand has been a part of my life since childhood. I can remember family members coming to America from Guyana (my birthplace) and referring to toothpaste as "Colgate". You can't go ever wrong with such a trusted brand!

Colgate Total Daily Repair just hit the stores this month and is available in 2 sizes-- 4.0 oz ($2.47-$2.97) and 5.8 oz ($3.47-$3.97) at most retailers nationwide.

To learn more about Colgate Total Daily Repair, you can check them out on their website and be sure to connect on Facebook and Twitter for product promotions and updates.

I received product samples for review. All opinions are 100% my own as always.

Make Your At-Home Manicure Last With CND® VINYLUX® Weekly Polish

I am such a fan of polished nails on a woman. The hard part for me as a homemaker is that it is almost impossible to have a proper manicure that I can do at home that won't chip after the first day. I received a few weekly polishes from CND® VINYLUX® to test out. Seeing the words "Weekly Polish" got me a bit excited. Could it be? I use my hands ALL. Day. Long. I can't imagine any polish being able to keep up with my active homemaking lifestyle. 

Pictured above is CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish in Scarlett Letter #145, Cream Puff #108, and Cerulean Sea #171

I decided to give the blue color a try. I'm a sucker for bright blue nail polish. I applied my first layer of weekly polish and was very pleased with the formula. It was very smooth, somewhat thick, and if I was in a hurry, I could have gotten away with just one coat. It dried super fast and I did do a second coat. I was really impressed with how vibrant the color was and the quick drying time. Now the real test was how long it would last. I did NOT use a top coat so this was really going to show my how long this product would last. I was so shocked to see that I went 5 full days with no chips. I did have one small chip by day 6, but that was expected with the type of week I had. Another positive thing is that it was very easy to remove. Overall, this polish really impressed me and I look forward to purchasing some other colors.

You can purchase CND® VINYLUX® Weekly polish and CND® VINYLUX® Weekly Top Coat retail for $10.50 per bottle at select salons, or visit cnd.com/VINYLUX, loxabeauty.com, ULTA or ulta.com.
