REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® Stain Dissolving Strips (Review)

 

 

I am OBSESSED with the latest and greatest find in the ever changing world of teeth whiteners. Aside from mascara, this is one of my fav products to review. 

I recently had the opportunity to check out REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® Stain Dissolving Strips. These strips fight tough surface stains. This girl has to have her red wine and let's not forget coffee so it's necessary that I whiten my teeth consistently. REMBRANDT® has created these awesome strips that whiten your teeth in 2 weeks. Not bad, right?  

In my opinion, the best thing about this product is the fact that the strips DISSOLVE. That's right ladies and gentleman, you don't have to remove them. After about 5-10 minutes, they disappear with nothing to remove and leave your mouth with a fresh minty taste. I love this feature as I am always running to meetings and events. I can easily apply these and let them dissolve while I'm driving to my destination. So cool (and effective!) 

I even recently featured REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® Stain Dissolving Strips  on my Charlotte Today Segment . See below.

 

So what's your favorite teeth whitener?

REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® Stain Dissolving Strips dissolve on your teeth in minutes to easily remove tough stains caused by coffee and wine.  Get a whiter smile in 2 weeks.   

REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® Stain Dissolving Strips & REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® toothpaste together:

REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN® platform uses 3x Triple Action ActiShield™ technology to:

Remove: helps gently remove tough stains like coffee, red wine and tea

Repel: works like an invisible shield to help repel future stains

Best Teeth Whiteners (Charlotte Today)

 

Results: Last Minute Smile Moments with Crest 3D White

So a few days ago I shared with you the story Last Minute Smile Moments with Crest 3D White and as promised I have given the latest technology a shot. This product claims to whiten your teeth in just 2 hours. I was pretty skeptical when I first opened the package. It was SO easy to apply and there was absolutely no mess. I was wondering where the whitening formula was. It was barely visible.  I thought there could be no way this could make a difference. I was wrong. I have a t.v. appearance in the morning (Hello Charlotte Today fans!) so I thought it would be the PERFECT time to test this product out. I applied the strips and let them work their magic as I went about my afternoon. Crest 3D White was comfortable and I could even speak normally wearing the strips. It was if they weren't even there. 

Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips contain an innovative thicker ingredient layer, which provides significantly more enamel safe whitening ingredient that whitens for two hours.  The advancements in the Whitestrip structure make it the best fitting Whitestrip ever, including optimized n0tches for a brighter, whiter smile-faster! 

Here's the before snapshot I shared with you in the last post

And here is my after shot just after one treatment! I could definitely see that my pearly whites were a shade or two lighter. Please note that both photos were taken with little to no makeup. I wanted you to see the real results.

If you are seeking an effective quick-fix then I highly recommend this product. Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips are available at mass retailers and drugstores nationwide. For more information, visit www.3Dwhite.com . Four treatments retail for $54.99-much cheaper than bleaching your teeth at the dentist!

Last Minute Smile Moments with Crest 3D White

What do you typically do in two hours? Have a nice workout? Take care of the laundry? Cook Dinner? Or in my case....write articles? Guess what the latest claim is?! You can whiten your teeth in just 2 hours. Can you imagine wearing whitening strips while you get ready for a big event and by the time you walk out the door......your pearly whites are noticeably brighter?

The main physical compliment I get would be my smile so of course I want to keep my smile up to par. Within the first 5 seconds of meeting someone, we are judged from head to toe and your smile is included. I may take care of my teeth but that doesn't mean they are white and bright all the time. I do love my red wine and this can cause my smile to not be as pearly as I'd like. I'll be honest, I have only found one product in my entire life that I love when it comes to whitening my teeth. And the product is NOT a drug store brand. How convenient would it be to run to the store and pick up whitening strips before a business meeting or even your next hot date?!

I was pretty excited to learn about Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips. Yeah, say that 3 times fast. I am always up for reviews when it comes to whitening ESPECIALLY one that claims to do it in 2 hours! I've always loved Crest products in the past so I am confident I won't be let down. So my Pretties can follow my progress, below is a Before photo. Within the next day or so, I will post again with my after photo! Stay tuned!!! I can't wait to share my thoughts with you on this new technology.

4th of July Beauty Regimen: Red Nails, White Teeth and Blue Eyes

Every year on the 4th of July, we celebrate by spending time with family, friends and of course wearing the colors red, white and blue. Sometimes I wonder if people REALLY know what this day stands for. 

" The Fourth of July is a time to commemorate America's declaration of separation from Great Britain that was made on July 4, 1776. Our freedom and our democracy that we have been blessed with is a direct product of the sheer determination from our forefathers who worked to establish the United States of America as a free country. " 

It is because we are a free country, that we are allowed to wear what we'd like, express who we are whether it be through writing or through what you wear. 

This 4th of July, rather than walking around looking like an American Flag (ladies....some times you take it TOO far!) , keep it simple. Here's my RED, WHITE AND BLUE for this 4th of July! 

Thank you to all who made it possible for me to be able to express myself freely! 

 

Red Nails, White Teeth and Blue Eyes! 

 

ORLY Lacquer in Star Spangled ($7.50 at Ulta) delivers megawatt shine and classic color in a formula that’s free of DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin. I love this polish. Not only does it stay put but it has just enough sparkle to stand out without being TOO much.

The new REMBRANDT^® Deeply White™ toothpastes and mouthwash ($6.99-$7.99 at drugstores) work together to provide superior whitening by using Active Dental Peroxide, the ingredient dentists use to whiten below the enamel surface. This toothpaste and mouthwash is WONDERFUL. I have recently added it to my daily regimen, replacing my former toothpaste and I couldn't be happier with the results. You can actually feel and see these products working. It's amazing! 

For an edgier approach, use NP Set Eye Palette in Seattle ($20 at Target) to create an alluring metallic smoky eye accented with shimmering navy.  First of all, this palette is adorable and fits right in with the theme of the 4th of July. I love the raised stars on each shadow. Not only is this palette adorable, it's small enough to fit into your makeup bag and has a beautiful look once applied.

The Key to a Beautiful Smile

Some of you have requested that I share my “secret” to beautiful teeth.As a representative of PrettyCity,  it’s extremely important for me to look my best at all times. A pretty smile has always been very important to me. Since a child, I have always taken really good care of my teeth.Growing up, I never had a cavity and never had to have braces.

I have tried many teeth whitening systems. The only at home system I trust is Pro-White Teeth. It would be very hard to convince me there is something better. I have been a huge fan of this whitening system for several years now. I saw immediate AND longer lasting results than over the counter whitening systems. I constantly receive compliments on my “beautiful, white smile”. It’s easy to use, more cost efficient with immediate results.

You can purchase the kit at www.prowhiteteeth.com  Did I mention, it’s approximately $300 less than what you’ll spend at the dentist?  There is no reason why you can’t have beautiful white teeth especially when it fits into your budget! Now you know MY secret. Share it with your friends. I don’t mind.
