Cheap Whitening Strips?

February 20, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! I hope you’re off of work for President’s Day ; )

I’ve whitened my teeth with trays, whitening strips, gels…you name it! And I’ve always had decent success. I whiten my teeth a couple of times a year, and today I want to share my thoughts on the Equate Timeless White Whitening Strips from Walmart.

Equate Timeless White Whitening Strips

I love these. They are $15 and work just as well for me as more expensive brands, and while they aren’t fancy, they get the job done. I have a LED whitening light I use for the last 5 minutes. I have sensitive teeth, so whenever I whiten I brush my teeth with this sensitive teeth toothpaste.

How-To Whiten Your Teeth Cheap | 5 Minute White Review

February 17, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you whitened your teeth lately? Have you tried 5 Minute White? One of the first things I notice about people, second only to how confident and approachable they seem, is their teeth. I am so thankful that my parents paid for my braces, and I remind myself of that every month when our daughters orthodontist auto-withdrawal hits out account. I have shared before my results from Smile Brilliant but today I wanted to share how I do whitening up-keep on a more regular basis.

About 5 Minute White

  • Complete, fast, and easy
  • Proven bleaching power whitens and brightens teeth
  • Oxygenating action like dentists use to gently and effectively whiten teeth
  • Bleaching power starts to work in 5 minutes
  • Comes in 2 ounce tube

My Routine is to use my own trays (you can make your own with athletic mouth guard kits, use whitening trays you already have, or use the one that comes in the larger 5 Minute White complete kit) and apply the whitening gel with a q-tip to my teeth, or sometimes I put it into the trays but if I do this I am careful to make sure it stays on the front portion of the tray. I also will use a q-tip to wipe any gel off off my gums to avoid irritation.

I leave the trays in for anywhere from 15 minutes- 2 hours, and I do not find this gel to be irritating to my sensitive teeth, but if I whiten for over an hour I always use a sensitivity toothpaste to avoid pain.

I love this gel because it is cheap and does a great job maintaining my white teeth. I like to use Smile Brilliant or Crest White Strips twice each year and use my 5 Minute White to maintain. I try to put the gel on ( sometimes even just put on my q-tips and no mouth tray for a few minutes, and when I feel like it or have time, I’ll do it longer) once every couple of week.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS WHITE TEETH! | SMILE BRILLIANT KIT REVIEW AND COUPON CODE

December 4, 2017 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I did a video on my YouTube Channel nearly a year ago sharing how I whitened my teeth professionally at home with Smile Brilliant. I have used the touch-up kits every few months to maintain my results, and I am just as in love with it now, if not more so, all these months later. I was sent new whitening and desensitizing gel and was compensated for this post, but as always all opinions are my own. I will never accept money in exchange for a positive review.  I think that giving someone the gift of a beautiful smile is a fantastic gift idea or a great way to spoil yourself before all the holiday selfies you’ll be taking ; )

 

My Original Results and Review of Smile Brilliant

How I Use It Now

I like to use Smile Brilliant every three or four months to keep my teeth as white as when I did the kit for the first time.

 

Why I Love It

I have sensitive teeth, other at-home whitening products have hurt my teeth so badly that I couldn’t use them close enough together to get as significant results as I wanted. I also appreciate how affordable this kit is because while I’d looked into professional whitening at the dentist office, it was never something that fit into my families budget. I think that the custom trays you get with Smile Brilliant are really a game changer because they fit your teeth perfectly, so the gel is getting direct contact with each part of your smile. I like that I can keep up my white smile without a trip to the dentist office or a big hassle.

 

 

My Routine

I always wipe my teeth off with a small piece of paper towel or a washcloth to make sure that they are dry before putting a thin strip of the whitening gel into the custom trays and putting the trays in. If any whitening gel presses up onto my gums, I wipe it off with a Q-Tip. I typically use the trays in for 1.5 hours, but as long as 3 hours if I want a really good touch-up. After I remove the trays I rinse my mouth with water and then brush my teeth with Sensodyne toothpaste. I rinse out the and fill them with the de-sensitizing gel, which is my favorite Smile Brilliant product because it makes it virtually painless for me to whiten my sensitive teeth. I try to do my whitening in the evenings, and if I am going to eat after whitening I try to wait at least an hour before doing so.

 

Why I think It Is a Great Gift

I think Smile Brilliant is a fantastic gift because it works for any age, man or woman, and it is such a confidence boost to have a whiter smile. My husband, who has never whitened his teeth because he also has a lot of sensitivity, wants to try Smile Brilliant because he has been so amazed by how effective it has been for me.

HOW I WHITENED MY SENSITIVE TEETH! SMILE BRILLIANT REVIEW + GIVEAWAY WITH VIDEO DEMO

January 9, 2017 & 1 Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I am so excited to share with you how I whitened my sensitive teeth at home with Smile Brilliant. Smile Brilliant did reach out to me, provided this kit to me for consideration for review, and are hosting my giveaway. As always, all opinions are my own and I would never accept money in exchange for a positive review. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments or reach out on any of my social media, which is linked at the top of my blog and at the bottom of each post! Smile Brilliant also has a fantastic live chat on their website.

About Smile Brilliant

Smile Brilliant offers six different kits, three kits for teeth that are not sensitive and three kits for sensitive teeth. I was sent the T9 Sensitive Teeth kit. Kits from Smile Brilliant start at $129 and go up to $179 which is a fantastic value compared to professional teeth whitening at the dentist office! I do have a coupon code “leahtackles5” which will save you 5% off.

How It Works

You receive a box in the mail from Smile Brilliant with instructions to make the molds for your custom whitening trays. I was intimidated to make the molds and send them back in the mail, but as you can see in my video demo below it is not as hard as I anticipated at all. About a week after you send in your molds you will get your custom whitening trays. The molds fit my teeth perfect and are very flexible and comfortable. The kit comes with great directions, but basically all you do is put a thin a line of the whitening gel into the molds and then wear them for anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. If you have sensitive teeth like me and purchase a sensitive teeth kit, you will also get desensitizing gel which I did use when I would whiten my teeth for longer than an hour. The desensitizing gel is used for about 20 minutes after whitening to help with sensitivity and also prevent re-staining the teeth.
