Influenster : Colgate Optic White VoxBox

Let me introduce you to Influenster, if you haven't heard. Influenster is "free-to-join community of trendsetters, social media masterminds, and educated consumers who live to give opinions of products and experiences" according to their website. In order to join you need to be invited, but invitations are limited. You connect all your social media and than you're able to review products you've tried, give advice, take quizzes and surveys. The items on Influenster range from beauty products to pet products and everything inbetween.

Every once in a while, depending on your activity, you may get a VoxBox to try out.
 VoxBoxes are free products sent to you to review. Who doesn't love receiving free items in their mailbox?

This time I was chosen to try out Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening pen.



 Inside the box was Colgate's new toothbrush and whitening pen along with a travel size of their Optic White toothpaste.
The toothbrush itself is pretty standard, nothing special by just looking at the actual brush head. The cool thing about this duo is the whitening pen and the fact that it stores inside of the toothbrush's handle. You simply pull it out, than slide it back in when you're done.
Pretty awesome if you ask me.




 The whitening pen is really cool.  After brushing normally you simply apply the gel to your teeth, and you're good to go. No need to rinse or wipe it away.   It's suppose to whiten your teeth in 2 days, if you use it twice a day. So far I've only used it one time so the jury is still out.

As I mentioned I've only tried the whitening pen once but already there are some things I both like and don't.  I like the taste of the gel, its very similar to that of whitening strips. Not the most pleasant but not at all bad. The consistency of the gel is a little thick and grainy. when you polish it on your teeth it seemed like there was just soo much gel. And I only used the recommended 2 clicks of the product. There is no need to rinse or wipe away but I felt the need to want to . After a couple minutes, the gel sort of  absorbed and the sticky feeling was gone. 

I really like the idea of this product and will continue using it before doing an in depth review.

Stay tuned!


 
Love, Elle
