I just recently finished the 20-Day Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips Challenge... I was going to wait a couple more days before writing this review, but I am so excited to share it with you guys, so I'm just gonna jump right in and start this post, haha! ;)
I've heard all about Influenster from fellow bloggers, but it took me a few months to actually join... it's a good thing that I did because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to try out this awesome product!
Why pay for Professional teeth whitening treatments? Crest 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects is just as effective. These whitestrips are formulated with the same enamel-safe ingredient dentists use. Apply once a day for 30 minutes. You'll start seeing a whiter smile after three days, with full results in 20.
- Professional teeth whitening at home.
- Advanced Seal™ Technology no-slip grip stays put so you can talk and drink water while whitening teeth.
- Apply once a day for 30 minutes.
- Results last up to 12 months.
- Uses the same enamel-safe teeth whitening agent dentists use.
Over time, your teeth yellow due to everyday activities and indulgences such as coffee, tea, and wine. While precautions can be taken, if you're not actively whitening your smile, you're yellowing it. From the #1 most awarded whitening brand by beauty editors, Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips is here to help you achieve a whiter, brighter smile that lasts. With these Whitestrips, the secret is in the strip...
- Removes over 10 years of set-in stains.
- Whitens 25X better than a leading whitening toothpaste.
- Advanced Seal no-slip technology helps Whitestrips conform to teeth for noticeable whitening results without the mess, exclusively brought to you by Crest Whitestrips.
- Same enamel-safe ingredient that dentists use.
3 easy steps to a beautiful, whiter smile:
1. Peel Crest 3D White Whitestrips from backing liner.
2. Apply the lower strip first. Using a mirror, apply gel side of strip on front teeth. Align straight edge of strip with gumline. For products with Advanced Seal Technology, press gently with finger pads for 2-3 seconds onto front side of teeth. Fold over teeth. For products with Advanced Seal Technology, press gently with finger pads for 2-3 seconds onto back side of teeth.
3. Wear for recommended time, remove, and discard.
The directions are very easy to follow.
The little pamphlet pictured above gives other guidelines on how to use these whitening strips.
Everything is pretty straight forward and they lay everything out for you, so there's really not much confusion when using these strips. :)
There are 20 strips in one package.
It doesn't have a minty or toothpaste-like flavor -- I wish it did, though.
It has a plastic-y taste, but it's nothing gross. It did make me gag a little at first, but I got used to it as time went on.
The top strip goes on with no problem. The lower strip, on the other hand, slides down and is a bit hard to apply at times.
But putting the strips on definitely got easier as I got used to it. :)
I'm not sure if there's a specific reason behind the length of the strips, but I wish they were longer (especially the lower one).
They don't really cover everything, and I seriously wish they did because they work so well!
At first I was kind of unsure about whether or not I should include pictures of my teeth on this review, but I figured I should in order to show you guys how well it works. :)
Here goes:
Top to Bottom: Start, Day 5, Day 10, Day 15, End
Please excuse the lip balm overdose (haha!) and the Day 15 photo -- I forgot to take a nice picture for it, so I had to crop one of my actual photos taken on that day. ;)
I noticed that my teeth gradually got whiter.
These strips work. They are very effective.
And now that I finished using the 20 strips from my complimentary kit from Influenster, I am definitely considering buying my very own kit.
The price ranges around $40-$45, depending on where you buy it.
It's quite pricey, but it works amazingly well -- it's definitely worth it!
Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips are available at retailers like CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Walmart and e-retailers like amazon.com, eStore.com, and Soap.com.
Get your very own kit now, guys -- remember, "If You're Not Whitening, You're Yellowing!" ;)
Have you tried using Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips before?
Is this something you would be interested in?
I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the week! :D
It's Black Friday and a lot of us are probably gonna go shopping tomorrow, so just in case you need to brush up on the season's new trends, here is a recap:
For today's post, I just wanted to share with you guys some of Kushyfoot's new products...
I've already reviewed some of their products before, but I can never get enough of them, and I'm sure you won't be able to as well, haha! ;)
First off, here is a little something about Kushyfoot:
Kushyfoot is "the company that first brought the ancient healing art of reflexology to the world of legwear, has progressed from strength to strength, introducing unique and ultra comfortable trousers and knee highs, foot covers, toe covers, athletic and yoga socks, tights, foot and toe cushions, all of which massage the wearer's feet with every step at an affordable price."
The following products were sent to me to review for you guys:
Kushyfoot Yoga Socks/ Kushyfoot Flats To Go!®/ Kushyfoot Slipper Socks
Shall we go through them one by one? ;)
1. Kushyfoot Yoga Socks ($13.47/ 3 pairs) -
Made for the mat.
Kushyfoot® yoga socks are one-of-a-kind. Made exclusively to fit like a glove, socks feature open toes and a non-slip sole to grip the floor and mat. Perfect for activities that require balance and stability. Yoga socks also keep your feet clean and help warm up feet in winter months when your muscles are cold.
This is one size fits all.
Totally perfect for yoga, pilates, and other similar activities (as mentioned above)... I just haven't tried it for pedicures though, haha! ;)
Fleecy leopard Flats to Go® are the newest addition to our Fall 2012 collection. These lightweight and ultra portable flats have a soft sole which allows them to be rolled up or folded so that you can tote them in your purse ready for any potential shoe emergency. Designed for indoor use and occasionally on smooth outdoor surfaces. Great for travel too!
BONUS! Each product comes packed in a mini clear plastic purse pack!
Cute print! ;)
Flats To Go® feature a:
- Zigzag sole
-Built-in elastic band at the heel ensuring a great fit every time
Available in sizes 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10.
A definite relief from wearing high heels, plus it is lightweight and portable!
I really love the fleece material -- it's really soft!
I always rave about Flats To Go® -- seriously, we all need one! :)
They also have different prints to choose from = win!
The sole is quite thin though, so these flats are not made for long wear... they are just solely (haha, pun intended!) for bringing comfort to your feet after a night or a day of looking fab in heels.
3. Kushyfoot Slipper Socks ($13.47/ 3 pairs) -
Warm and cozy for your toesies!
Kushyfoot® slipper socks are the perfect at home wear. Featuring a zigzag non-slip sole, socks can be worn independently of slippers on carpet as well as wood and ceramic floors on warmer months. Convenient for travel as they pack neatly in your carry-on bag.
These are so perfect for when you're just lounging at home!
My feet always get cold, but I hate wearing my fuzzy socks during the day, so this is the perfect solution to that problem, haha! ;)
Available in Black/Rose and Black/Lavender.
To learn more about them and to order their feet-friendly products, visitwww.kushyfoot.com. :)
Have you bought anything from Kushyfoot before?
Which of these three products are you most likely to buy?
I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your week!
The Salt City Bakery giveaway I hosted ended last night and now it's time to announce the winner!
Before that though, I just want to say thanks to everyone who entered -- Thank you, guys! :D
It's Thanksgiving on Thursday and then it's Black Friday, woot woot... who's excited???!!!
(Me, haha!)
One store I'm definitely going to on Friday is Cotton On.
They have a lot of really cute clothes at affordable prices = win!
The first time I shopped at Cotton On was over the summer at their Camarillo location. I actually took some photos, but I never got around to making a post about them, so here we are. ;)
Cotton On at the Camarillo Premium Outlets.
Their sale racks are literally everywhere (as seen above)!
There's definitely something for everyone and everything is super affordable! :)
$10 and Under rack
$5 rack
Aaaaahhhh, I am so excited to go shopping on Friday!
I already got a little bit of shopping done today -- I got two tops for only $10! I'll take a snap of the tops when I wear them and I'll tweet about it as usual. ;)
Thanksgiving is in less than a week -- I am so excited! I love Thanksgiving because it basically kicks off the holiday season... and it brings together three of my favorite things: family, friends, and of course, food, haha! ;)
Speaking of food, let's talk about food -- Is your Thanksgiving menu ready?!
No? Then today's your lucky day because here are some yummy recipes from www.foodnetwork.com that are absolutely perfect for next week:
Sage and thyme, onions and celery, stale white bread: Don't expect fancy frills with this stuffing. It's your classic standby recipe, just like Mom used to make.
Thanksgiving, turkey, and stuffing = pretty much a package deal. ;)
A classic made modern and fresh, Alton ditches the traditional cream of mushroom soup and canned green beans, instead using real mushrooms, half-and-half, and fresh green beans.
Food Network Magazine riffed on four basic pie recipes -- pumpkin, apple, pecan, and chocolate -- to make 50 tasty variations. Pick your favorites and bake a few for your Thanksgiving dessert buffet.
Dessert buffet? Sounds perfect to me! ;)
What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Are you cooking? Which of these five recipes would you like to try the most?
