SHAPEEZ, THE ULTIMATE BOSOM BUDDY

Introducing the Unbelievabra, the Multi-Purpose Bra that Will Change Lives

Recently, Oprah proclaimed that “choosing the right bra can change your life. The right bra can reverse aging; it can make you look 10, even 20 pounds lighter.” Unfortunately, most women have not found the right bra for them: they are stuck in a traditional bra with uncomfortable elastic bands around the body, straps that are constantly slipping off the shoulders and, the worst part – back fat and bra bulge.

Every woman has been on the hunt for their perfect bra, but until now, their options have been limited. The Unbelievabra by Shapeez is an all-in-one bra and body shaper that provides superior breast shaping and support while eliminating bra lines and back bulges. Based in the USA and manufactured in North America, the Unbelievabra is a breakthrough in garment technology. Made from the company’s patented ‘smooth-back’ design (no back bands or closures), the Unbelievabra is constructed with breathable cool-tex lycra that fits snugly to the body providing a close, lean, and supportive fit. It also wicks moisture away from the body keeping you cool, dry and light.

“Your bra should be like your best friend: always offering support and comfort, while helping to make you look good. However, traditional bras rarely meet these expectations,” says Staci Berner, Creator of the Unbelievabra by Shapeez. “Although women can share similar body types every woman has a different body shape. Traditional bras are not made to fit a variety of body shapes and don’t do even the slimmest bodies justice,” says Staci.

Introducing the Unbelievabra, Your Multi-Functional Bosom Buddy
The Unbelievabra by Shapeez is the ultimate answer to a common and conspicuous fashion dilemma – bra lines, back bulges and a muffin top. “Your bra should not make you look heavier than you are. Even slim girls are affected by this. If you are wearing a traditional elastic band bra, you will have back bulges which will ultimately add pounds,” says Staci. “On the same vein as panty lines, visible bra lines (VBL) is a major wardrobe faux-pas. It enables women to wear clothes which fit precisely the way the designer intended, without the outline of the top being ruined by unsightly bra lines and bulges.
Fashion Meets Function
Designed to provide a woman with superior breast shaping, lifting and support, the long line styles of the Unbelievabra are also an effective tummy smoother to instantly slim your waistline and smooth out the dreaded muffin top. “It’s the perfect way to get a natural ‘nip and tuck,’” adds Staci. “The right shapewear can instantly slim and flatten your problem areas, taking inches off your figure. Our products are helping to pave the way for a healthy and positive outlook on women’s bodies giving women more self confidence right off the hanger”.

The Unbelievabra distributes the weight of the breasts across a wider area on the back which promotes better posture and may help to reduce shoulder and back pain.

The Ultimate

The Ultimate is an all in one garment that supports and shapes your breasts, slims the torso, and seamlessly removes all visible bra lines and back bulges with our patent pending "SMOOTH BACK" design. Retail Cost: $85.00 Available Colors: Nude & Black Size Range: 32A-44D

Oh I need a sip of my hint water while reading super hot novel Killer Heat by Brenda Novak!
On my lips is the Three Custom Color Specialists lip gloss in Killer Heat red!

Destination brides you should get some hint water to stay hydrated during the busy preparations and relax yourself by reading a great book and moisturizing your lips at the same time!
HINT water is unsweetened essence water that has zero calories! I love the blackberry but the raspberry lime isn't too bad either! It has zero sweeteners, zero calories and zero preservatives-clear and simple! Learn more and where to get some for yourself at http://www.drinkhint.com/

Killer Heat is the third installment of this summer's trilogy of books and part of it is set in Arizona! My experience is that Brenda Novak is simply a great storyteller and she writes characters that you love, and some you love to hate! She partnered with Three Custom Color Specialists to have a gloss to match each of the stories and the third is a rich ruby red. I love it!

Go to http://www.brendanovak.com/ to learn more about the books and where you can get them, plus subscribe to stay in touch with when the next Twitter party is!

The Winkee! A modest gals guide to style!

See why having great brows is the best beauty-enhancing tip


Eyebrows 101

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article

If you've ever seen before and after brow photos, you know what a difference well-defined ones make. Here are some tips to help you get your best brows yet.

Read tips


Oh yeah! That's me wearing the Winkee! This is a a lovely piece of wardrobe that you must
get! Why? Because 99% of the clothes made today are super low cut. I love a turtleneck and in fact own several, but I can't wear them in the Arizona summer! Or spring, or Fall for that fact I have to wait for the January week of winter here in Arizona.

So the Winkee is my new friend because it's super small but covers a large area and is easy to attach to your undergarment and get full coverage in what is normally a wee tank top! This scoop neck tank

is low, but now with the Winkee! Normally I have to
pull my tank up but not anymore!
Now in my button up shirt, again, the Winkee gives coverage and modesty without a layer of clothing to add another reason to sweat in the Arizona heat. There are so many colors and choices I know you will be happy with it.

Now for some reason, if you do choose to let it all hang out that's okay too because the Winkee is so small and easy to use that you could have it on at work, then leave for your next adventure and remove the winkee and put it in your wallet. Yes, wallet! It's that small!

Find more out at www.thewinkee.com and if you would like to win one for yourself, then come by the Arizona Bridal Affair Makeup University booth and sign up for the new hub blog newsletter at http://cherelynn.com Don't live in the Scottsdale area? That's okay! All subscribers to the new blog newsletter on Sunday September 26 will be entered into the beauty bonanza giveaway!

It's the Memorial Day weekend and for those of you who are staying home, or going to the beach or brides if you are going to your destination wedding even if you are doing Arizona weddings, this lipgloss with lipstick like coverage is so much fun! Awesome coverage!

So it's called LuMesh, and it comes in a tube, with doe foot, has a mirror on the side of the package and the best part is you get alot of pigment with a glossy shine and it wears without feathering. Even in the sweaty Arizona heat! Now, as I travel about, I'll report back how it does in humidity. If you want to get some and try it and tell me how it performs in your area, comment how you love it! You can find stores on the main website www.lumesh.com

Gals, the proms are winding down, and bridal season is still in full gear. I am taking a few bridal clients through the month of May, so if you are in the greater Phoenix area, email me your dates and I'll send the rates!

One of the challenges I get on the day of the wedding while getting a bride ready is she will ask me about her skin: and some "spot" or wrinkle that could have totally been erased and taken care of had she started treating it six weeks ago.

I share this now because if you are an Arizona bride about to get married and have the wedding of your dreams please put the time into your skin while there is still time to get some maintenance work if you need it!

The same goes for your bridal smile! The wedding photos of a bride and groom are going to last and last just like the blue eyeshadow on some bridal eyes in weddings during the 70's. Here's some teeth bleaching and smile whitening tips from an expert, enjoy!
###
Trying to figure out what is real and what is fantasy in the world of cosmetic dentistry can be a challenge, and Manhattan cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Entin has answered some of the common misconceptions about the practice of teeth whitening:



True or False? The Truth About Teeth Whitening


All teeth whitening gels are not the same

· TRUE: Not all whitening gels are the same. Even though most of them contain carbamide peroxide ("bleaching agent") they differ in the percentage of it used in a particular gel. Percentages can range from 5% to 45% or even more.



All teeth can be whitened equally

· FALSE: The thicker the enamel layer of the teeth, the better is the whitening result. Most tooth stains are divided into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic stains are those that are within the chemical structure of the tooth itself – they cannot be bleached. Extrinsic stains are the result of outside staining like coffee, smoking, and red wine. Those stains can be bleached, so ask your dentist what kind of discoloration you have before you start a whitening procedure



I have to get the strongest gel so that my teeth can get whitest

· FALSE: You should consult your dentist for the proper strength of the gel. This should be done to avoid harming the teeth



Whitening toothpastes can bleach teeth

· MAYBE: Whitening toothpastes can bleach the teeth but only to an extent. Dr. Entin recommends that they be used in combination with whitening gel



Veneers, crowns, and tooth colored fillings will be whitened just like my teeth

· FALSE: All of the above are made from porcelain or resin composite and they cannot be bleached



Tooth whitening can have side effects

· TRUE: There can be side effects if the proper instructions are not followed. There is increase in sensitivity, gingival burning, in some cased pulpitis (inflammation of the nerve and pulp inside the tooth). However, all of that can be avoided by consulting a dentist prior to the whitening process and strictly following your dentist's instructions.



Dental insurance will pay for teeth whitening

· FALSE: Most insurance companies do not cover teeth whitening because it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure. Procedures like that are not covered most of the time



Whitening kits given by the dentist are the same as the ones purchased over the counter



· False: Over the counter kits contain a less active bleaching ingredient than the ones provided by the dentist, therefore it takes more time to whiten the teeth with over the counter kits



Once my teeth are whitened, they will stay white forever

· False: On average, tooth whitening can last six months, depending also on lifestyle habits like consumer foods and beverages that can stain the teeth


About Dr. Michael Entin, DDS

Dr. Michael Entin, DDS is a graduate of The New York University College of Dentistry, class of 2000. As of 2001 he has been in private practice in New York City. Dr. Entin is a Lumineer Certified Dentist and specializes in cosmetic dentistry. He attained his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry from Brooklyn College. Dr. Entin opened his first practice in Brooklyn in 2001, and opened a second practice in Manhattan in 2008. For more information, please visit www.lumineersNY.com.

Spring is in the air and it's wedding time! In Arizona, it's a busy time for weddings because by June it's sweaty hot, July is not even an option, August is an option if you wear medical grade anti-perspirant and need a really cheap deal on hotels and come September it begins to be bridal season again with October and November being busy times for brides and grooms to say "I do"!

There are many wedding shows happening through out the greater Phoenix area right now, and to help you find the right resources visit www.theknot.com and click on the local link. If you need help with your beauty the webiste is full of Q & A's along with forums to help guide you to what you are looking for.

When it comes to beauty and your wedding day, you will want to get the right tools and products- try looking on www.theknot.com partner websites such as www.endlessbeauty.com for more help. Afterall, sometimes a magazine's info can be outdated by time it hits the stands and gets into your wedding planning hands.

Personally, I think the best wedding rule of thumb is to keep it simple, for all those involved. When it comes to your makeup, looking like you with a little more definition and a touch more contouring will photograph well and have a timeless look in your photos.

Good luck and have fun planning your wedding and try the resources! I do bridal makeup workshops and speaking engagements so you never know, I just may see you at a bridal show!

What a great way to celebrate your special day by having a destination wedding! I know that there are amazing memories to be made in a period style dress such as these and a short trip to your local renaissance faire. 

Yesterday I wrote about the different types and styles of timeless beauty that I saw while visiting the Arizona Renaissance faire and today I wanted to let you know that if you are looking for a unique and creative way to hold your wedding yet have it feel worlds away, this may be for you!

The day that As You Wish photographer Brandy Caldwell and I were at the faire to do the Jennifer Lopez "Aint It Funny" video inspired gypsy photoshoot there was a wedding going on right next to us! The lush green landscape, and multi-colored tents along with magnificiently detailed costumes and props made the wedding look like the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves movie with Kevin Costner.

There are many packages available and can be customized to a bride and grooms individual wedding needs. I spoke with Linda, the Arizona wedding coordinator and she said that there is still time to hold your nuptials at the Faire during March 2010. You elopers go for it! Call Linda! The gorgeous bridal costumes can be purchased from a Faire vendor or borrowed from the Faire's closet.

As a bride getting ready for this ancient time period in a destination style wedding, if I were doing your hair and makeup I would say:

1. Sheer foundation with a light dusting of HD powder for pictures
2. Lip stain and cheeks in a rosy shade and a clear gloss over the top
3. Simple two toned shadows for a more authentic time period look. Light on the eyeliner and mascara. In fact, I would put on a set of demi whispies and seal them with a sheer mascara.
4. Plaited hair! If you have enough length to braid your hair, I would do simple braids that braid together to make a plaiting effect. Throw on a veil and go get married girl!

Keep your nails simple and french tipped or sheer bridal pink to stay true to the merry old England 1800's feel.

Special thanks to Linda and Sanja at the Arizona Renaissance Faire for their gracious help with this story. All images are courtesy of Brandy Caldwell of As You Wish Photography. http://www.asyouwishphoto.net/
