A Smile for Christmas with Janina

No word of a lie, I love to smile. Not only does it fill the room with love, laughing burns calories and it just puts other people at ease espcially if you don't know them. This festive season I have teamed with Janina, to share my tips on how to get a whiter smile in the comfort of your own home without harming or abusing your teeth. It is so easy to fall for the ads that claim to give you white teeth but just do more harm then good.              

Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Gold Review

I am a huge fan of Teeth Whitening and the love affair started with Beverly Hills Formula Black Toothpaste, this time BHF have stolen my heart again with their Perfect White Gold Toothpaste*Just like the name suggest the new toothpaste has been made with actual gold particles (fancy i know!) this is because gold has some amazing properties for your teeth such as been anti-inflammatory to fight gum disease, antibacterial to help with oral hygiene and the main ingredient advanced hydrated silica which boots the whiteness of your teeth!  

Does it Work? 

I have been using it for the past week since coming back from holiday and have loved using it! My teeth in the morning feel clean and look white for once. The cleanliness feeling also stays all day long even after eating my lunch and a few naughty snacks. It isn't overpowering in the taste, not too minty and strong so it is suitable for those of us with sensitive teeth. 

You can also see small specs of the gold inside the toothpaste which looks like glitter but it doesn't come on to your teeth which scared me at first! I haven honestly loved using this toothpaste and will carry on using it to keep my teeth looking amazing every single day!

The Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Gold Toothpaste Retails at £5.49 and can be found in your local Superdrug!

Teeth Whitening Strips - Do They Work?

I have talked about teeth whitening quite a lot on this blog, because I love making my teeth look nice and a smile is the best accessory for anybody. Whitening toothpastes are amazing and there are a lot of them out there, but more recently the new trend is whitening strips - you apply before you are about to go somewhere for instant white teeth. 

The strips I am telling you about today are from Doll White*, the main concept around them is that you apply the small strips (top and bottom), which has been coated with a gel on to your teeth and leave them on for 30 minutes. After half an hour you should be left with whither and brighter teeth, the more you use them the more you will see a difference. 

The big question, do they work? Also, how do they feel?

Well, in my household three of us used them. Dad, brother and myself for this review the pictures are only of my teeth but the two of them used the strips as well and their thoughts are also included with mine as they were pretty much similar. 

When you first apply and press the strips onto your teeth it feels really weird, the texture of the strips are odd because you aren't used to having something stuck on top of your teeth. It is also hard at first to talk correctly, a lot of saliva builds up and it can be hard to control. My dad was having a lot of problems trying to talk with the strips in, he had to spit a few times and coughed a lot but after a bit he was fine. 

After the 30 minutes are up, all you have to do is remove and dispose of the strips and rinse. You should be left with a coating on your teeth and a whiter smile. Did I notice a big difference? Not a first, it was very hard to see whether my teeth had actually gotten whiter or if it was just the light. When you look at someone else's teeth it is a lot easier to see the big difference.

Bottom - AFTER 

I haven't edited the pictures or anything, just cropped out my double chin! 

Using it once was great and for a few hours I loved the way my teeth looked, but I don't think you can get the best benefits from Doll White unless you use it regularly and personally I don't have time to wait around for my teeth to 'set' and would rather just use them on special occasions. So, yes they do work for a one off but if you want really white teeth use them everyday. 

Have you ever tried Doll White Strips?

BHF Perfect White/Black Toothpaste||Review ♥

After having braces, there has been thing that I am always making sure of - how good my teeth look. The bottom ones are still a bit uneven, but the top are straight - in my opinion straight teeth doesn't mean everything! You need to have some white sparkle as well to really make them stand out and for people to go 'WOW You're teeth look amazing' and that is exactly what I have had with this black toothpaste* from 'Beverley Hills Formula'.

At first I was terrified to use it because the colour put me off, but then once you toughen yourself up and start brushing with it turns into white paste and has a minty flavour that is lovely in your mouth. I have found that after using this every morning for one week before school, my teeth have never been better! The activated charcoal coats your teeth and removes any bacteria from forming which then leaves your teeth looking white and fresh! 

''Low in abrasion, Perfect White toothpaste helps remove surface and deep stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and spicy foods, to brighten, lighten and whiten your teeth. Regular use of Perfect White will also help to prevent tartar build up, effectively keeping your teeth whiter for longer.''

Beverly Hills Formula have so many other products that you can try out, to see which is best for your teeth type. I have very sensitive teeth that I struggle with things like ice cream, and this has worked on my teeth better than any other sensitive toothpastes you can find. You can buy this is Superdrug for around £4.99 which is so much cheaper compared to the other pastes that claim to give you a white smile. 

If you want to achieve that 'hollywood' smile the right way, then I suggest giving this wonder tube a wiz and see whether or not you are a fan. I hate toothpastes that are minty, but this isn't unbearable and actually smells amazing!
