Crest 3D white whitestrips

I have been giving these teeth whitening strips a go for the past 10 days and I can say that I am very impressed. My teeth were not brown or yellow by any means but they deffinately had years of staining from the amount of tea I drink! Yes, I am from Yorkshire and we love our tea. I had been wanting to try them out for some time but didn't want to be left dissapointed. But, I decided to purchase some after seeing a 10 day supply on ebay for only £15. There are a few different types but these are the ones I have been using...

They are the 'professional effects' and you use them once a day for half an hour. Inside the pouch you will find the strips. The longer one is for your top teeth and the shorter for the bottom. All you do is peel them from the backing and stick them on your teeth, folding any excess to the back of the teeth. Wait for 30 minutes and then taken them off and brush your teeth. Simple as that.

It is recommended that you use the strips for 20 days for best results. I have used them for 10 days and can see a huge improvement. I am thinking about buying another 5 day supply as I don't think i need to do 10 more. I didn't experience any sensitivity with my teeth or gums which I thought I might do. It suggests that if you do to just take a break from the strips for a day or two. 

I think the best place to purchase the strips from is ebay. There are many sellers on there and I would check the sellers feedback before buying to make sure they are not fake. Most of the sellers send the strips without a box or instructions to save on postage costs, but instructions can be found online should you require them. 

Thats all I have to say for now. I wish I had taken a photo of my teeth before I started so I could show you the results but unfortunately I didn't. Let me know if you have had a good or bad experience with crest whitestrips.

Make up Brush Cleaner and Sanitiser

I ordered myself a daily make up brush cleaner and antibacterial sanitiser from feelunique.com and it arrived today.
You can buy it here http://www.feelunique.com/p/The-Pro-Hygiene-Collection-Makeup-Brush-Cleaner-240ml

It is a 240ml bottle and it was on sale at £8.10 when I bought it however full price is only £9.00

I was surprised when I removed the lid to find the pump

spray was like this. It is much better than a normal spray which can sometimes be difficult to press. 

I tried it on my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush first which I use for my liquid foundation. You have to spray the cleaner on the brush and then wipe it against a tissue until your brush comes clean. I had to repeat the process 4 times because foundations are very heavy and oily and here is the result.

I also used it on my other brushes which I only use with powder products and I just needed to spray and wipe them once and they were clean.

Bearing in mind this is a daily brush cleaner I think it works very well. It claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria which definitely sounds good to me. I don't fancy smearing all that bacteria around my delicate face every day. 

Remember that you should still wash your brushes properly with brush shampoo and warm water every so often for a deep clean. I use the 'ELF Brush Shampoo' which is inexpensive and does the job.
