I’ve been sent the iWhite teeth whitening kit a while ago, but due to my dental misfortunes i didn’t get around to see it in action. To be fair, i didn’t see it in action at all on my teeth as my dentist almost hit me in the head with the box when he heard what i wanna do. Well after two root canals and two crowns, plus my gum problems…yeah i could see how teeth whitening wasn’t really a priority.

So Himself, had to sacrifice for science purposes…Yeah right, he wanted to use it since he saw it in the mail box! We are such a vain couple .

iWhite Oxygen Activated Teeth Whitening Kit

The box contains a mouth tray and 14 whitening foam strips.

And how it looks just before you place it in your mouth:

How to use iWhite

After you fixed the strips in the mouth tray, place it in your mouth and wait for 20 minutes. The whole treatment is for just 7 days.

Review

First of all, himself is a smoker (disgusting i know) and he never ever used a whitening kit so it kinda makes him an ideal candidate. During the 7 days, it didn’t cause any sort of teeth sensitivity and it was easy to use. The mouth guard was relatively comfortable, but he had to be careful because of his gag reflex. So if there are sensitive people out there regarding this aspect, take note.

Result wise, it definitely brighten his teeth. Now im not saying that is that fake white smile, but i can notice a difference for sure. I would totally recommend iWhite as a brightening quick fix before a big event, but if you need major whitening i would still go to a dental clinic for a professional treatment.

Time certainly flies when you’re having fun, can’t believe its almost a month since my last post. Ive been so focused on work and become too excited to think about anything else – im the typical workaholic when im not at work, im thinking about work lol.

Also it seems im not that inspired to blog, im craving for a new site layout and desperately need a better camera. Santa, are you reading this? Im very much into fashion blogs lately, find myself looking up lifestyle and fashion blogs on blogloving more then the beauty ones. Who knows, i might start doing some OOTD in the new year and maybe some videos to spice things up a bit here.

I haven’t been shopping loads in the last month, im trying to save my pennies for the January sales. Every year im promising myself ill have a decent budget to splurge on the sales and on my birthday (new year baby – 3rd of Jan) and i end up broke, so im determined to get organized. Im already so excited about the next year resolutions!

Well, enough chit chating ill get straight to business:

Took advantage of the 3 for 2 offer in Boots at the start of November and got my skincare staples: La Roche Posay Effaclar K and Vichy Normaderm Anti-Age. Seriously, this routine is the best ever for my skin! I tend to test out other products for ‘research’ purposes, but nothing agrees with me better then this two products. In just three days from re-starting with my routine my skin was looking perfect again: smooth, clear, no bumps in sight. I use the Effaclar K in the morning with Shu Uemura spf 30 priming mousse and the Normaderm Anti-Age during the night.

The Kerium Extra Gentle shampoo is for himself, its the only shampoo that he can use. Unfortunately he suffers of seboreic dermatitis on his scalp and face, when i met him was using Nizoral shampoo for every wash. Now he only uses the Nizoral once per week or even once every two weeks, and washes with the Kerium every day. He never looked back.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation

This foundation deserves a proper post by itself, it is absolutely amazing. Excellent color match on my skin (im no 53), light weigh with a medium coverage, dewy radiant finish. Find it very similar to the more expensive Chanel Aqua Lumiere that i’ve had a couple of samples during the summer. The only drawback is that it gives me shine on my t-zone, but again even the Double Wear is not strong enough for my oiliness. Also it doesn’t have any SPF, so make sure you use a primer or skincare with SPF.

Last but not least, got some Clarins goodies: One Step Exfoliating Cleanser and the Energizing Lotion for the legs. Had them both before, the One Step exfoliant is a cult product for Clarins, it gives such a good scrub and the smell is delicious. Felt the need of a more rigourous face exfoliant, the Liz Earle is good and still have loads, but with my oily skin likes rougher stuff.

The Energizing Lotion is a God sent for anyone working on their feet all day, its so refreshing and stimulating. The only warning is that is very, very cooling so use it sparingly.

Any news with you guys?
