for your smile: Luster Power White7 Toothpaste & Instant Whitening Mouthrinse

if you're a big tea {and occasional coffee} drinker like me, you more than likely make teeth whitening part of your beauty routine. white strips, kits, pastes, gels, washes, you name it, at some point i've probably used it....

i've most recently used products from the brand Luster Premium White: NOW! Mouthrinse and Power White7 Toothpaste to be more specific. 

Power White7 claims that you'll have whiter teeth in just 1 week thanks to a formula of peroxide and therapeutic-grade essential oils. this is true! this is a really good toothpaste, but...

it could use a bit of help.

now don't get me wrong, this award-winner did deliver in the whitening department; i'm just not a fan of the taste. i really didn't like the way my mouth felt after using it. i feel kind of bad for saying it, but maybe it was that i was so used to my go-to toothpaste {Crest Pro Health} that this in comparison just wasn't my cup of tea {no pun intended!}. so that's that. Power White7 is a good product that works. for me it just needs a better flavor.

Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Mouthrinse has my same gripe.

sigh...

i was determined to make sure i brought you an accurate review, so i continued to use it even though it's not the best tasting mouth wash {and it kind of makes your teeth blue for a bit after rinsing with it}; my teeth are whiter having used it, so really, i shouldn't complain, right? i'm just being honest.

we all have different taste buds, so you should try it for yourself! Luster Premium White products can be found at your local drug, mass market and select grocery retailers. visit lusterpremiumwhite.com for more info.

beauty on the go: Rembrandt Whitening Pen

whitening your teeth on-the-go just got a little easier with the Rembrandt Whitening Pen.

i don't know about you, but having white teeth is important.

but you know what? i'm busy, and i don't always have time to keep whitening strips in my mouth, nor would i go out in public with them on.

thankfully the people at Rembrandt have given us busy folks the option of whitening our teeth on-the-go. this little pen packs alot of whitening punch in a purse-friendly size.

dial up the whitening gel from the bottom of the pen, and rub on your teeth. don't eat or drink for 30 minutes. your teeth will get a great treatment, and you and your busy self can move on with your day. this doesn't cause any sensitivity the way some whitening treatments can, and i like that i can take it with me.

need i say more? check it out for yourself! it's at a drugstore near you.

brighten your smile with Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste

a white smile is just as fashionable as a new it-bag. can you imagine seeing someone dressed fabulously, everything in place, and then they smile and show anything but white teeth? yikes!

Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste not only will help you achieve a fabulous white smile on it's own, but it helps me maintain the fabulous benefits of past whitening treatments.

my kids like using it, too (they say it's not too strong like the other toothpaste they have been using). in fact, there have been many occurrences of it going missing, and where do you suppose i found it?

in their bathroom...

i guess i can't complain that my kids want white teeth!

find Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste at a drugstore near you.

whiten your smile with Rembrandt Whitening Strips

my hubby has an obsession with teeth, especially white teeth, and being married to him for the past 9 1/2 years has made me a little bit obsessed as well...

i have been using Rembrandt Whitening Strips for the past week, and i love them! i have used another brand of white strips for years, but these Rembrandt strips will now replace those! they are so much better, and here's why:

*they are so easy to use and not messy

*they stay in place with both the upper and lower strips in place

*i noticed a difference in the brightness of my teeth after using it just two times.

*they have a refreshing minty flavor to them

i can honestly say these strips are fabulous and i can talk with them in my mouth, although i shound really funny trying to shay my eshes.

find these standout whitening strips at a drugstore or mass retailer near you!

Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit

i liken the Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit to deep cleaning my house. it's not something that i like to do, but i know it is necessary.

if you're like me, everyday cleaning suits you best, and getting little bits of cleaning done everyday is much better than a long session of cleaning all blocked together.

so what does this have to do with a whitening kit, you ask?

the Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit is like the deep cleaning that i don't ever look forward to doing. it's time consuming and a bit more work than i prefer for the chunk of time it takes, but the results are always good.

i will admit, the Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit is a perfect, catch-up-on-all-of-my-tivo'd-shows type of system. it consists of four 20 minute treatments with 10 minutes in between each treatment. it's not required that you do all of the treatments consecutively, but to knock out the entire 2 hour process is the most effective.

without getting into specifics, i'll tell you i am thankful this doesn't need to be done often, maybe every six months or so. do it while you hang out and relax for a couple of hours at home, or of course, you could get some cleaning done...

the results are not the super-white you'd expect form a professional whitening treatment, but quite noticeable nevertheless. it retails for around $25, and can be found at any drug or mass market retailer (think target and wal-mart).

Rembrandt

the new Rembrandt line will get your your teeth looking amazing in a relatively short amount of time. well, at least that's what i am expecting...

the new Intense Stain Toothpaste boasts powerful stain-fighting ingredients to remove deep stains from coffee to wine. it is also sodium lauryl sulfate-free, so it is gentle yet effective.

the new Whitening Touch-Up Pen has an angle-tip applicator for easy application while on-the-go, a unique fast-acting Bio-Available peroxide that powerfully whitens, and is clinically proven to whiten in 14 days.


the 2-hour Whitening Kit contains fast acting Bio-Available peroxide formulated to whiten in just two hours, and is the fastest whitening treatment from the brand.

finally, the Whitening Strips, used just once daily, whiten teeth in as little as 5 days. they are enhanced with Formfit technology to conform to the unique shape of teeth and stay in place.

having healthy, white teeth is a simple effective way to look your best! i will be trying all of products over the next week or so, and as i finish one, i will move on to the next, posting my reviews along the way...

stay tuned!

fabulous multi-tasker: tarte enbrightenmint

brighten your smile on-the-go with tarte's enbrightenmint!

it takes about two weeks to notice a difference, since it is only a once-a-day application of the BriteSmile. but you can be assured because both unique shades, radiant red and pearly pink, have blue undertones, which will help your teeth look extra white in no time!
