Luster Premium Distinctly White Dual-Action Whitening System Review #GotItFree

As a member of BzzAgent, I was invited to another campaign for the Luster Premium Distinctly White Dual-Action Whitening System. It claims that it whitens in just 2 days. So did it work for me?

This is my starting shade. I took this photo to compare it with my final shade and you'll see the picture below later. :)
Here is a zoomed version of my photo above and this is my starting shade.

I've always had yellowish teeth since I was a teen and to add to it, I drink coffee about 3x a week. I was very excited to learn that I am on a campaign for the Luster Premium White BzzCampaign.

I opened the box and it has only 2 products inside that I'll have to use. The bigger bottle is the Accelerator Mouth Rinse and the smaller tube is the Super Whitener Gel (I forgot to take a picture of the products inside but please refer to the box picture on top. :)) I read the instructions and it is very easy to use. Here is a step by step instruction of what I did according to the instructions:

1. Rinse mouth with the Accelerator Mouth Rinse for 10 seconds.
2. Shake Super Whitener Gel Tube for 3 to 5 seconds and then squeeze tube and apply it to the 6 upper teeth and 6 lower teeth (the teeth that shows when smiling). Do not let it touch the lips or gums for 30 seconds and after that you can close your mouth and leave the gel on teeth for 10 minutes.

You can repeat the steps twice in the morning and rwice in the evening for 3 days (total of 12 sessions). If you are short on time, you can do it once in the morning or once in the evening for 6 days.

Here are my thoughts on the Luster Premium Distinctly White Dual-Action Whitening System:

First, I like the taste of the Accelerator Mouth Rinse. It is minty and it's color blue. It says to use about 1 tbsp. of the Mouth Rinse or the right amount for me to swish and cover the front teeth. I made the cover of the Accelerator Mouth Rinse as my guide and 1 full cover cap is enough for me.

Next is the Super Whitener Gel. First time I used it, I started with my upper teeth. I noticed that when I got to my bottom teeth, I needed cotton to absorb my saliva already. The taste of the Super Whitener Gel is bitter (I didn't intentionally swallowed the gel but when I closed my mouth after 30 seconds, I swallowed excess saliva and the taste of the gel was still there). So my tip is to first apply the Super Whitener Gel on the bottom teeth because that's where the saliva pools and then apply the Gel on the upper teeth last. :)

I also like that it didn't cause any tooth sensitivity. I have sensitive teeth so this is a plus for me. There were also no other side effects for me.

What I did was 2 sessions in the morning and 2 sessions in the evening for 2 days and this is the result after the second day.

I noticed that my teeth did become lighter but not that white (as in the bond paper white like other people have). I am not aiming for the bond paper-white teeth but for a lighter shade. Here is a zoomed picture of my teeth.

After just 2 days of using the Luster Premium Distinctly White Dual-Action Whitening System, I can definitely say that it is effective enough for an in-home whitening system. :) I like it because it is very easy to use and didn't cause any problems for me. :)

Cottonelle Clean Care Routine Review

I know a lot of people are not so open to talk about their "bathroom" routine but I am! I was very excited to be part of the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine's "Let's Talk About Your Bum" sampling.

I received a full size sample of the Cottonelle Fresh care wipes and 2 samples for me to hand out. (I gave it to my mom and hubby.)

I immediately tried the Cottonelle Fresh wipes (just in time! :)) and I love the scent! It smelled very nice and it's very soft and the thickness is just right. This would be our little secret but my routine after doing a #2 usually would be I'd use 2 to 3 flushable wet wipes (just to be sure it's clean) and then dry it off with toilet paper. The Cottonelle fresh wipes did it's job perfectly! :D

I love the flip off top of the Cottonelle Fresh wipes I received because it is easy to open and close. :) I would love it more if the Cottonelle container would be available with designs or patterns in it. The wipes itself are perfect already and have I mentioned I love the smell?! (I think I have already.)

So far, I am very contented with the Cottonelle Fresh wipes and would definitely buy more! :)

Kashi All Natural Hummus Chips Review #GotItFree

As a member of BzzAgent, I was invited to try and do a review for the Kashi Hummus Crisps. I received the Sea Salt and Olive Oil flavor. I was excited and happy to try it because it has at least 3 grams of protein, at least 3 grams of fiber, at least 5 grams of whole grains, no partially hydrogenated oils, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial anything! There are also 2 other flavors you can try. The Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta and the Caramelized Onion.

Now for the review of the taste, the flavor is less than the chips I regularly buy. I let my 2 and 5 year old daughter try this but they didn't like it so in my opinion, this is for older people. I can also say that it is fresh and crunchy. :) I also liked it more when I tried dipping it to ranch dressing to add more flavor to it.

Pocoyo Boo! DVD Review


My 2 daughters loved all the episodes in this DVD, Pocoyo Boo! :) They've watched it a lot of times already and they don't seem to get tired of watching it over and over again. They still laugh at every episode. Even my 2 year old daughter gets the humor in Pocoyo ( I too laugh with them while they watched this). I love how Pocoyo teaches good attitude like being a sport, being friendly to everybody, etc. in a simple way that my 2 and 5 year old daughters understand.
