Brush. Whiten. Go! Brought to you by Influenster

In Febrary I was selected to reeive another voxbox from Influenster.  If you don't know about Influenster, it's a website where you can review products, unlock badges, and be selected for their testing program called "voxbox". Voxbox is a free program where you take a pre-qualification survey and if you qualify you'll receive a brand or themed box. This is my fourth box, so far I've only received brand only boxes.  Meaning I've never gotten a specialty themed box. This particular box was from Colgate Optic White & I got to try their new Brush. Whiten. Go toothbrush.

In their newest addition to the Optic White line, (which already includes toothpaste, mouthwash, and other toothbrushes) they have decided to branch out into the whitening pen market. Also included in my kit were several coupons and a travel size of Optic White toothpaste.  I have used this toothpaste before and discontinued use after I noticed a sensitivity developing in my teeth.  For testing purposes though, I decided to use the whole tube for maximum results.

My normal brushing routine is twice daily, along with using mouthwash, and a nightly flossing.  I know, I know I should be flossing 2-3x daily, but really who has time for that?  After brushing with the nylon bristle and rubber scrubber headed toothbrush, you just use a couple click of the pen and slather the whitening serum onto your teeth.  As directed I used two clicks per a row, which seemed to do the trick.  The whitening pen itself has little rubber bristles to scrub the product on. The package says whiter teeth in two days, I'm not too sure I noticed that.

After one week was when I noticed results, which I think is a fair assessment.  The toothpaste went a little quicker (because it was a trial size) and after I used the tube I did notice the sensitivity coming back in my teeth.  So if you are prone to tooth sensitivity I would skip anything from the Optic White line and try the Total+Whitening line.  The toothbrush itself does its basic job.  I don't feel like it cleaned my teeth any better than my Crest Spinbrush.  The wide square rubber bristles are very odd and sometimes feel like their not really moving on my teeth.  That's probably the point though, because I think they're made for scrubbing the stains off your teeth.
The white in the middle are the scrubbing rubber bristles.

I would definitely recommend getting this product and trying it out.  I would say the whitening pen (which you store inside the toothbrush) alone makes this a good buy.  For $12.99 at mass retailers I do think it's a bit pricey.  Especially since I've only been using it since February 25th and the whitening solution is almost gone.  So if you're buying it just for the pen, it'll probably get a bit pricey for you.  Just to try this product though, I say it's definitely a good choice.  Every voxbox I've gotten has been consistently better.  This one was definitely better because now I have whiter teeth! I've also been notified that I'll be getting the univoxbox, which will be a collection of different products. I'm excited to see what's in that and will be letting you guys know about it.  That's all for now, until next time!

I Live a Glam Life...Kinda ~ November 2015 Birchbox!

This month I decied to do something a bit different and get the Guest Editor or Curated box. It helped a lot that the box was curated by one of my favorite YouTubers Tati Westbrook! She along with Emily Eddington ( Emilynoel83 ) and Melissa Autry ( Melmphs ) are gurus I consistently watch. And by consistently watch I mean every week! I trust Tati, so I knew I would love everything in her box! Avene Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Serum/ Full-size $36 This gentle, hypoallergenic hyrating serum plumps skin while promoting cellular regeneration. I was so excited to try this! Allure actually recommends this brand to girls like me with oily/blemish prone skin, so I couldn't wait to try! I agree taht its hydrating, so hydrating that I actually disn't feel the need to moisturize. Not a strong scent if any and just really great all around. I kinda litke it better than Shiseido Ultimune, which I just finished up. Final Grade: B+ Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo/ Ful...

Effortless Summer ~July 2016 Sephora Play~

We didn't get spoilers for this month's box until right before it shipped out. I'm not 100℅ sure of that reason, other than to torture us. The only clue we did have is possible spoilers and word that they were splitting up the boxes according to skin type (combo/oily, normal/dry). Knowing that I filled out my profile for oily skin and that even on my beauty insider profile (Sephora's rewards program) I'm listed as oily I didnt worry about which box I'd get. Until I checked my Play subscription and I got the normal/dry box. So yeah, here it goes... First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser (Full-size $20): This is something I've used before and currently own a full size of. This is a nice face wash. I like it during the winter to use after a workout. It removes my surface oils and dirt, but doesn't strip your skin. It's a bit like soap, so if you're not into facial soaps I would skip. I passed this sample along because I honestly didn't need it. ...

Memoir of the Sunday Brunch by Julia Pandl

Woo Woo 2014, a month late but hey I'm a busy girl. So I've tackled the first book of the new year and it was Julia Pandl's Memoir of the Sunday Brunch.   Pandl a stand-up comic originally from the Milwaukee area tells, personal family tales of her sweet, but often failed childhood memories. From being the youngest of nine to free child-slave labor at her father's restaurant. Told in two parts, the first of funny brunch serving, sibling squabbles, and a lot of twitching; The second of more recent memories of caring for someone who once cared for you. Photo Courtesy of Goodreads.com "I thought my dad was just like every other dad, until the day I worked my first Sunday Brunch" Be prepared for the second half of the book to shock you emotionally. It goes from a funny eye rolling recount of childhood, transitioning into being an adult child with rapidly aging parents. The second half was particularly heartwarming and sweet. Of course there's still som...
