Hi guys, how was your week?
Today I’m gushing about teeth whitening. A study found that whiter teeth will knock at least 5 years off your age, make you more attractive, employable and successful.
Are you a fan? No? You will be after you read this post.
I am an avid coffee drinker and ex smoker. I would not be found without my capri 120's luxury length. I also enjoy half a glass of wine daily as a way to unwind at the end of the day. Even with regular brushing, I felt like my teeth were getting stained from these habits.
While eating certain foods like apples and brushing with baking soda paste can help with overall teeth health and appearance, they are typically not very effective with deep stains. Even though my chompers aren’t heavily stained, I tend to whiten every so often. I’ve tried strips and whitening toothpastes in the past and I have to say I was never quite satisfied with those.
Years ago I turned to my dentist for professional whitening. That set me back over 500 bucks. A couple months ago I felt like I needed a touch up but couldn’t find my custom made whitening trays and those I have to tell you cost an arm and a leg at the dentist’s. Infact, I was told that the bulk of the cost was for those and I couldn't stop kicking myself for misplacing them.
Not too long after, I was contacted by Smile Brilliant to try their teeth whitening. The timing was perfect. I was very pleased with the prospect of professional strength teeth whitening that included my own custom fitted trays, made without a visit to the dentists office for crying out loud and all in the comfort of my home. I was hopeful that this product would deliver.
The teeth whitening kit arrived with 3 of each of a blue and white paste for making my custom tray impressions, six individually wrapped syringes of actual teeth whitening gel and 6 syringes of desensitizing gel. Step 1 involved mixing the blue/white impression and catalyst pastes until streak free and then filling the blue trays with the resulting paste. These are then applied to teeth to create a mold. Upon hardening the mold was ready to ship back in the provided padded envelope. A little over two weeks later, I received my custom trays in a cute black case and the whitening fun began.
The whitening process itself was pretty easy thanks to the detailed instruction card in the kit. I filled my trays with whitening gel, inserted them on my teeth and whitened for an hour followed by desensitizing for 15 minutes.
I found that I used too much whitening gel the first day and my gums were burning even after I wiped off the excess. So I quickly learned not to use a lot. I also experienced some teeth sensitivity after the second session so I reduced whitening time to about 45 mins and made sure to use the desensitizing gel with fidelity. Like I mentioned above, my teeth were not heavily stained but I still saw some brightening after a week of whitening. For a fraction of the price, I definitely got a bang for my buck.
This product lived up to my expectation and I am very pleased. I’m linking some reviews and testimonials for you to check out as well.

By the way y’all know how much I love my makeup and it’s that time of the year when we start breaking out our darks and red lippies some of which make my teeth look more stained than they truly are because they have yellow undertones. Is it just me or does that happen to you too? Do certain reds make your teeth yellower? Yellower, is that even a word? Ok now it is. I’m positive it is but why does it sound wrong today? Yellower, more yellow. Whatever. Some gals swear it doesn't affect their teeth. After this whitening, I can almost hear my teeth saying, ‘hey lippies, you can’t dull our shine’! I'm so thrilled.
