Beauty - MiSmile Invisalign Clinic Launch Birmingham

3:38:00 pm





Back in February I mentioned in my, Smoking and Teeth Whitening - Why the Two Don't Mix feature,   that I really wanted my teeth whitened.  Since then I have taken steps to cut the disgusting habit for good, but I'll be posting about that in more detail next week.  As I'm taking steps to cut out the habit that was putting me off having my teeth whitened I have also been looking at where to get the treatment done.

I received an email last week about a brand new dental clinic which opened in Birmingham last week which has really caught my eye.  MiSmile opened last Friday, 25th April and is situated in Burlington Court, right in the heart of Birmingham.  This is the place I have chosen to have my first whitening treatment performed, of course I will be having a consultation before hand to make sure the treatment I decide on is right for me and the health of my teeth and get all the information regarding the treatment.

Teeth Whitening isn't the only treatment available, Mi Smile is the UK’s first Invisalign only clinic.  Invisalign are in invisible braces that use a series of clear, removable aligners (similar to gum shields) that are worn for two weeks and then swapped with the next aligner in the series each slightly different, means that the teeth move gradually.  The number of aligners needed will vary according to case severity at the end of the process patients are left with a beautiful smile.  This is something I doubt I would be overly interested in as I'm quite happy with the shape and position of my teeth but I wanted to mention it as some of you reading might not be.

The owner and principle dentist of this brand new clinic is, Dr Sandeep Kumar, an Invisalign Diamond elite dentist.  He is fast approaching his 1000 case and has performed over 3000 teeth whitening cases with different techniques and methods and has used and tried all the major teeth whitening systems available in the UK.  Over the years Dr. Kumar has become the celebrity dentist of choice, With celebrity clientele including Catherine Tyldesley, Michelle Keegan, Shobna Gulati, Georgia May Foote, Jorgie Porter and Ray Quinn to name but a few.

Dancing on Ice ultimate champion, Ray Quinn is a current patient of Dr Kumar and had this to say about his treatment so far, at the launch last week;
'Sandeep has been amazing, he’s been showing me how to get the smile I’ve wanted without having to worry about disrupting my work schedule.  I’m just here today to say thanks'

I think it's safe to say I am going to be in great hands especially after watching all of the customer testimonials on the official MiSmile website.    I'm excited to visit the clinic and share my progress and experience with you.

What are your thoughts on teeth whitening, is it something you would have done yourself?

Beauty Haul

Life - Shopping is Cheaper Than A Psychiatrist

4:28:00 pm

Hi lovelies,

My goodness it has been quiet on Button's Blog this week, this is all down to the Birmingham Bloggers Meet Up. I have had so many things to do this week to make sure the day is going to be great. I have been making things, booking things and sending out numerous emails aswell as working my day job, I just hope everything is worth it and we all have an amazing day on Saturday!

These are just a few things I have picked up in the last little while, I haven't bought a lot this month as I am trying to cut down on my beauty spending but with the release of so many new exciting products this month I cant see it lasting.

 Chit Chat Nail Varnish - £1 Poundland
This just caught my eye with the large chunky glitter I thought for a pound I could give it a go, I was so impressed with this I will be featuring it in a Nail of the Day post very soon.

 Simple Baby Wipes - 74p  Sainsburys  + Nivea Pearl and Beauty Deoderant - £1 Superdrug
These are just basics I needed, I prefer these baby wipes to any other and use them for everything from removing my eye make up to cleaning my make up packaging.  This deoderant is my favourite, I never purchase any other, I love the smell, the packaging and off course the performance.

 Mac Mineral Skin Finish Natural - £20.50 Mac Counter Selfridges
I was looking for a new powder for while and because I love my other base products from Mac it was just a must for me to try this.  I am enjoying using this and do so everyday although I am sure there are drugstore alternatives for half the price that I will be purchasing instead of this one when it runs out.
 
 Mac Technakohl Liner 'Uniform' - £14 Mac Counter Selfridges
I love this.  After having this used on me when I had a Mac make up application, although I didn't enjoy the experience I did love this eyeliner.  I love that it is a twist pencil so no sharpening and the colour is amazing. It is black with a bronze/gold shimmer running through it, this looks perfect alone and part of a smokey eye.
 
 Nails Inc Icons Mini set - Price and Shop Unknown
These little beauties were a gift from my mum, I love all the colours and Im hoping to get more use out of these in the spring. 
 
Lipcote Original -  £3.89 Boots Broadway Real Life False Nails - £4.40 Boots
I wanted to try this lipstick sealer for ages and truthfully I have been really dissapointed, I just didn't get along with it at all.  I like the feeling of smooth a creamy lipstick on my lips so after using this and having the dried out feeling I feel it was a wasted purchase.  I always wear false nails as I am a terrible nail biter and these are my favourite ones as I can get two sets out of one packet, they stay on for around 10 days and as they are clear I can paint them myself .
 
Label M Professional Haircare available online here
Dry Shampoo £10.50, Hairspray £11.50, Honey Oat Shampoo £11.95 Shine Mist £11.75, Age Defying Recovery Mask £17.95
I was lucky enough to win this in a competition on twitter run by @my_beauty.  My Beauty is a new online social directory and online magazine involving beauty bloggers, beauty lovers and beauty pros.  You an see what they are all about here.  I have only tryed the Honey Oat shampoo as yet and it smells immense, soo gorgeous.  I will be reviewing my favourites out of this range after I have got a feel for them and see some results.

 
Rings - £1.50 each Freedom @ Topshop
I love rings, and I believe no outfit is complete without a ring or two, these were such a bargain and will be worn all the time.
 
 
 Pearl Drops Smokers Toothpaste + Colgate Max White Tooth Brushthe easier - £1 each Poundland
I am on a mission this year to get whiter teeth, my teeth are not terrible but are not as white as I would like them to be.  I want to try a number of options on my quest for whiter teeth and have started with the basics.   


 Pearl Drops Smokers Mouthwash + Eucryl Toothpowder - £1 each Poundland
I am a matching freak, I like my toothpaste to be the same brand as my mouthwash, I dont know why but it looks pretty in the bathroom.  My mum and dad used this strain removing tooth powder when I was younger although I was never interested then I decided to give it a go.

 Nair Hair Remover - £1 Poundland
I swear by this stuff! I only use it on my arms though, the results don't last long enough to use on my legs for my liking.  Just to be clear I do not have overly hairy arms but I don't like them to have any hair at all, especially when Im wearing false tan.  I never have a reaction to this one and it is very moisturising.
 
Johnson's Baby Shampoo - £1 Poundland
This is my brush cleaning shampoo, I started using this after being reccomended by a number of girls on twitter.  It cleans my brushes perfectly and I love the smell.
 
This is the smallest haul I think Iv done, proud!
 
Lots of Love
 
Gem
