SmileSciences Teeth Whitening Pen (Review)

TEETH WHITENING PEN

So I thought it was time I did a review that DID NOT concern food for a change and this time I chose to review a product from Smile Science! The product its self is a teeth whitening pen which can be used to remove stains on your teeth (making them whiter) please not that this is NOT a substitute for brushing your teeth.The company also recommends that you consult with your doctor before using any whitening products (not just from them, but in general) 

Before we get into the review I thought I would post some other information that the product has on the package.

SIDE AFFECTS

Some side affects that may occur due to the use of this product is temporary sensitivity in your teeth, although this is normal and will subside

Discontinue the use of the product when you feel sustained discomfort or irritation.

The product should not be used when you are pregnant or breast feeding.

The product is unsuitable for children aged less than 16 years old, persons with dental problems such as periodontal disease and bleeding gums.

DIRECTIONS

Step 1 - Brush your teeth and floss

Step 2 - Twist the pen to dispense the teeth-whitening gel

Step 3 - Smile to keep lips away from your teeth while applying the gel

Step 4 - Apply a layer of teeth-whitening gel to your teeth

Step 5 - Relax your lips after 30-40 seconds (and rinse)

Step 6 - Repeat twice a day for 14 days.

REVIEW

Okay, now since that is out of the way let's get into the review of the product! Now I have only been using this product for a few days and I have already noticed a change in whiteness to my teeth (I am a coffee lover..) Although there is a possibility that you may experience sensitivity, my teeth were already kind of sensitive and I did not notice any increase in sensitivity at all since using the product and other reviews that I have read agree with me. 

When you open the package, it comes in a little box which you will see above as the cover picture to the blog post. Inside the box is then the little teeth-whitening-pen containing the gel that you put on your teeth. The pen its self is kind of small and portable so can be used on-the-go (I used this when I was away camping) It is however a bit tricky to know exactly how many times you twist the pen to push the gel out and how much to use on your teeth, but I guess that just comes down to your own preference for how much you think you need.

The product recommends that you use it for 14 days (which is how long the gel usually lasts until) but I personally feel like I may get a few more days because of the large quantity of the gel that you get in the pen. After only a few days of using the pen I can notice a slight change already and I will post an update on the product when I have finished the full course of the product!

I hope you like the first part of my SmileScience review for their teeth-whitening pen and if you want to check them out I will post their information below!

Reviews?

So as you can see, I've made some new changes to the blog by adding a new contact page (and a few other behind the scenes stuff) This is mostly because of how the blog and twitter have been getting a lot more attention recently (This may be due to me signing up on Bloglovin)

So I eventually decided to create a contact form for people to fill out if they have any requests on what I should review, or if companies want me to review any of their products. If anyone is interested in recommending things for review, or wants me to review any of their own products, please keep in mind that what I post is 100% my thoughts about a product, I'm not going to "glam" it up to encourage people to purchase it if it isn't actually good.

This is equally bad and good. It's bad in the sense that if you're just looking for cheap sales with no real thought behind the advertisement, getting a review from a blog is not going to be for you. It is however good in getting real feedback from someone who is in the same place as a customer, whether this helps you to make improvements or helps you to know that your product is of a good personal standard to them.

This is just a short update post for everyone to read! Also please check out my Bloglovin and follow me there.

Graze Nibblebox #2 (Review)

Recently, my second Graze box came through the letter box and I have to say, after last time, I was pretty excited for this weeks box.  It came on the exact day it was supposed to (It must have been a problem with the post last time) and the box was packaged very nicely (as always)

Basically, after gently pulling off the pieces of plastic separating me from the food, I opened the box to a lovely picture of blackberries. Inside the bottom compartment was the usual booklet containing information on the treats received and also some friend code slips.

These are the treats I got inside my box, which I was quite happy with. The ones that looked the most appealing were the My Thai soy bites and the Walnut & Vanilla Truffle. Now, obviously they can't ALWAYS send you the stuff that you like so they will try to send you new things to try and then rate, so that's where my Rhubarb & Pear compote came from (I kind-of despise dried pears). Now I'll write my review on each individual snack!


      Salt & Vinegar Nut Selection                                                                 Walnut & Vanilla Truffle

The Salt & Vinegar Nut Selection consists of Salt                         The Walnut & Vanilla Truffle consists of
& Vinegar flavored peanuts and Almonds. You can                       Walnuts, Pieces of fudge, Vanilla flavored
taste the salt more than the vinegar, but they are still                 Pumpkin seeds and Raisins. Although this
very nice! The nice crunch and unique taste of Salt &                   looks very nice, it does not taste the way it
Vinegar are just a few reasons why I already prefer                      looks (especially the walnuts, which look
these to regular shop-bought nuts.                                              slightly caramelized but taste plain)

Rating = 8/10                                                               Rating = 5/10

The My Thai Soy bites consists of 8 bakes soy                               The Rhubarb and Pear compote consists

bites (which are very nice btw) and a sweet chilli                             of Cranberries, Rhubarb and Pear slices

dipping sauce (which is also very nice). All together, I                     (which have been dried I assume) They 

have to say this was one of the best savory snacks I have                all taste pretty nice aside from the Pear

received so far from graze, the crackers were absolutely                  having a very weird aftertaste and first-

amazing and the chilli since was nice and sweet!                              hand taste. Not one of my favorites.

Rating = 10/10                                                          Rating = 6.5/10

Graze NibbleBox (Review)

So, on twitter I told you guys I would be doing another review so here I am!

Last week I started a subscription with graze because I wanted to see what the fuss was about with the boxes, and then today (Tuesday) it came in the mail. It was supposed to come on Monday but I'll let it slide since they can't control the postage. It came in a small cardboard box, ideal to fit through letterboxes (So you don't need to be home to wait for the package) and it was easy to open. Then, inside I found two £5 Gift Vouchers which I thought was very nice of them to include (I did mention my blog to them via twitter and said I would be doing a review, but I highly doubt that is the reason I got the vouchers)

The box also comes decorated and has a different picture each month, this month it was this picture of lemons, which is pretty colorful. They also include a few little books inside the box, one with news about graze, another with information about each snack (Calories, fat etc) and then one with friend code paper slips. Now I'll show you guys what snacks I got and what I thought of them.


         Triple Berry Smoothie                                                                      Honeycomb Flapjack
                 109 calories                                                                                          241 calories

            Cheddar Gorge                                                                        Mississippi BBQ Pistachios

The cheddar gorge consisted of cheesy cashews,                     The Mississippi BBQ Pistachios consisted of

baked herb cracker bites and salsa corn sticks.                        basically just roasted Pistachios with a BBQ

Everything on this taste pretty nice, but I wouldn't                   Seasoning on them. Although there isn't much

say that the name of the product suits it, since it's                  to this product, it was pretty much the best

only slightly cheesy (the cashews)                                           tasting one of all four!

Rating = 7/10                                                             Rating = 10/10

CyberCandy (Review)

Recently I treated myself to a little order from CyberCandy and I basically thought I would write a little review!

I surfed the website for around 10 minutes before finally settling on a "Mystery Parcel" (I felt like I wanted a surprise) After filling out the order form and such, I was slightly displeased with the fact they charge you nearly £5 extra for the lowest costing method of shipping (Which can take up to 6 days by the way) but seeing as I had a discount code, I guess it didn't really have an effect on me.

The "Mystery Parcel" in Large totaled up to £26.89 (Including shipping, which you HAVE to pay) but also promised to include up to 20 items, which is actually pretty good (Depending on what items received of course)

I ordered the box on Wednesday, and it arrived on Saturday afternoon (Pretty fast for a 6 day postage method huh?) It felt pleasingly heavy for a box only filled with sweets, so that already kind of led me up for a good outcome.

So after ripping open the box, I was face to face with the exact promised amount (Yes, I was sad enough to count) These items ranged from sizes tiny to large, I'll now list what items I received with their current price on the website.

Hershey Cookies'n'Creme bar, £1.42.          Baby Ruth bar, £1.42
Coffee Crisp bar, £1.59                               KitKat Caramel, £1.99
Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups, £1.59         Boost Nuts bar, £2.39
Cadburys Freddo Dream, £0.69                   Blueberry Pop tart pack of 2, £1.39
Tootsie Pop wild berry, £0.49                      KoolAid black cherry packet, £0.69
Berry Chewy Lemonhead & friends, £0.59   Good & Plenty candy, £1.39
Haribo Smurfs, £0.69                                   Tabasco chocolate wedge, £0.59
Twizzlers pull'n'peel cherry, £1.49                 Wonka Nerds, £1.42
Angry Birds lollipop, £0.45                           Coris squirrel sweets, £0.43
Efrutti Gummy Bear ring, £0.25                     Freshen-up gum, £0.98

Candy takeout box the website offers

The total price for all of these items is £21.94 (Without the shipping costs of-course) So basically all-in-all, with a loss of 5p, I was still pretty happy with what I got inside this box.

I must also add that although one of the shipping options claims to have almost a week arrival time, I assume that is a strategy the website uses to deter you into the more expensive option.
