Sugar N' Spice VoxBox Part I
So, in my last post, I told y'all how excited I was to get my first VoxBox from Influenster! Just in case you missed it, Influenster is a community of "trendsetters" invited to give their opinions of products and experiences. And the BIGGER your mouth, the more cool things you get to try out! I'm finally getting a chance to sound off on some of the products from my VoxBox! First up... the Colgate Optic White "trio".
I got the Colgate Optic White toothpaste in sparkling mint. The paste claims to whiten your teeth by 3 shades. I have used it for a week and I can definitely see a difference...3 shades? I'm not sure. I like the cool minty flavor and I didn't find it to be too gritty like some other whitening pastes. So I'd give this two fangs up!
Next up, the Colgate 360* Optic White Powered Toothbrush. When they say POWERED-- they mean POWERED! This thing buzzed so hard, it actually made me slightly dizzy! I know that sounds ridiculous, but it did! Now, I have a Sonicare that I normally use, so it's not like I'm not used to a power toothbrush! It's just that this one has A LOT of power! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like it hurt my gums or anything, it was just really...buzzy! The bristles go in two different directions, so it kind of felt like the toothbrush was confused (for lack of a better description! lol) But again, I'm used to my uni-directional Sonicare. My teeth felt great after using it, nice & shiny clean! So again, I'd recommend it.
Last of the Optic White Trio I tried... the Colgate Optic White mouthwash. **sigh** I hate, and I mean HATE having to give a product a bad review... but this stuff is just plain awful. From the moment it touched my tongue, it took everything in me to not spit it directly back out. Yup, it's that bad. Remember when you had to "swish" the fluoride around in your mouth after you got your teeth cleaned at the dentist? Yea, that tastes 10 times better by comparison. And I know why it tastes so bad...peroxide. It's like swishing straight peroxide around in your mouth. I know that's what produces the teeth whitening results, but I'll stick to the peroxide being on the strips or in my trays...in my mouthwash? No, thanks! It made my tongue foam up & just left the most wretched taste in my mouth. I actually had to brush my teeth a second time to get the taste out. I couldn't vouch for it's whitening results because I couldn't bring myself to use the product a second time. But if you're cool with the salty, foamy, peroxide taste...go for it. Bleck!
All in all, for the Colgate Optic White "trio"... 3.5 out of 5.
