Here is an important beauty tip you may have overlooked!

TEETH WHITENING!!

Smile not blinding anyone?? Here are Kiss the Bride Make-up's tips for the brightest smile possible (plus they wont break the bank)

Crest White Strips

Start 1 month prior to the big day (especially if your teeth are sensitive) the new formulas offer visible results in as little as 3 days and full results in 20! Try Crest 3D white strips $34.99

Whitening toothpaste

Your going to brush your teeth daily anyway, might as well be using a whitening toothpaste. Especially to keep your newly whitened teeth polished to perfection! Try Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Toothpaste $3.49

Whitening mouthwash

You may have never thought that a mouthwash could whiten your teeth..but it can! Its actually a pre-rinse that you use before you brush..use daily to keep those teeth gleaming. Try Crest 3D Multi-care whitening rinse $5.99

Make sure to avoid these teeth staining culprit's:

Coffee, tea, red wine, dark soda's, blueberries and tobacco!

Now SMILE away on your special day!!!!!!

Kisses L&L

PS. We are so sorry for our extremely lame and boring blogs (or lack there of) lately!! We have just made our "New years(aka Month) " resolution, and that is to start blogging again!! I have to be honest its just been super difficult making time to blog with business getting so busy and having a fabulous new puppy to take care of!! =) BUT, enough with the excuses its time to get to work!! Hopefully I get so into blogging that it begins to be blogging overboard. haha Either way its time to do this so we are ready to blog and roll! We hope you enjoy all of my nonsensical future blogs!!

Souly Wedding Vendors Bridal Soriee

Hey guys!! So last Thursday we went to a bridal show put on by Soulmates Bridal Boutique at the Ventura Crowne Plaza. First of all that hotel is unbelievable, SO beautiful! Next the party was such a success! Amazing vendors, gorgeous brides, and a fabulous fashion show! One thing i love about the Souly Wedding Vendors shows is that they are very personable! They are not like every other show , there isn't an overwhelming amount of people there and you get to have one on one experiences with your potential vendors. Th e shows always end up great and we cant wait for the next!! Thanks to Vanessa and Megan who own Soulmates Bridal Boutique for putting together this awesome event!!!

Beauty Party

Hello guys!! So we are having a "beauty party" at Soulmates Bridal Boutique in Camarillo, CA on March 7th! Basically we are going to be there doing make-up consultations for a discounted price (normal price $65, beauty party price $35). Also our amazing friend and fellow business owner Mary will be there doing airbrush tanning for $15!!!!!!!! She is so good and $15 is ridiculously cheap for a spray tan!!

Make-up Shelf Life

Your makeup's shelf life will vary on the kind and type of cosmetics you purchase. There are some simple guidelines of how long to keep your cosmetics. Just because you have a little bit of lipstick still in the tube doesn't mean you should be using it. For beautiful, healthy skin you need to know what your make-up shelf life is.

First off, if it smells, stinks, has a distinct odor that wasn't there before, throw it away!

Oil- Free Foundation: 1 year Cream or Compact Foundation: 18 months Concealer: 12-18 months Powder: 2 years Blush and Bronzer: 2 years Cream Blush: 12-18 months Powder Eye shadow: 2 years Cream Eye shadow: 12-18 months Eyeliner: 2 years Liquid eyeliner: 3-6 months Mascara: 3 months Lipstick: 2 years Lip liner: 2 years Lip gloss: 18-24 months Nail Color: 1 year

Kisses!!!
