Drugstore Buy of the Week - Crest Be Toothpaste Mint Chocolate Trek Flavor

Chocolate lovers - this could very well be your dream product.

A multi-benefit, fluoride toothpaste that tastes and smells like...CHOCOLATE! 

Actually, it's even better (for me at least) because it's Mint Chocolate, one of my favorite combinations. The new flavor, Crest Be Adventurous Toothpaste, Mint Chocolate Trek is one of 3 new toothpastes from Crests' new Be line.  This line of toothpastes feature unexpected and expressive flavors. 

Crest Be Adventurous Toothpaste, Mint Chocolate Trek was very tasty indeed. What I think is great about it is that the chocolate flavor is that they created it so that it did not overwhelm the minty flavor (which I definitely equate with fresh, clean teeth and breath). The longer I brushed, the more those mint flavors opened up in my mouth, and when I rinsed, while I did still have the chocolate lingering, my teeth felt minty fresh and super clean! 

 As for the chocolate flavor, it is very good - but I would equate this more with a very good "powdered hot chocolate" type of flavor, rather than the chocolate taste in a high quality chocolate bar. Blended with the mint, I definitely got an "after dinner mint" effect once I had mixed with water and begun brushing. 

Not into chocolate? No worries, there's a very yummy Vanilla Mint and even a Lime Spearmint, which I also personally love because it reminded me so much of a Mojito (one of the few mixed drinks I actually like). 

Another plus with this line? The little ones will definitely not complain about brushing their teeth at night with this toothpaste because they'll have so much fun experiencing the flavors. :)

Beauty Find - Butter London Backstage Basics Signature Lotion

 

 

 

Butter London creates some of THE most exciting nail shades, and in recent years, they've also created some fantastic add on products for nail care and foot care.

 

Now they have a complete moisture/repair solution for hands/nails called Butter London Backstage Basics Signature Lotion.  It's now one of my favorite go-to hand creams for everyday, and a must-have when doing an at home manicure.

 

The lotion is made with Shea Butter and Aloe Vera and is thick and creamy, absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling completely hydrated, soft and soothed.  The finish left just the right touch of sheen on my skin (without looking or feeling greasy).  It also made my cuticles very soft and healthy looking.  The fragrance is divine - it's a unique citrus/vanilla blend with notes of bergamot, freesia and amber that was just delightful to smell as I was applying it.

 

If you're serious about your hand/nail care in between your manicures, THIS is the hand cream to pick up.  - RLB

In addition to all 17 items below, and I was also able to fit in a few credit cards, keys and even a slightly larger lip color for touch ups.
