Two Strips Worth the Buy: Crest Whitestrips & Biore

Wednesday May 14, 2008
I once got my teeth professionally whitened for free from a dentist. It was the dental office's way of attracting new customers and it worked because I ended up getting X-rays as well and next thing I knew, I had a new dentist. But I digress. Having your teeth professionally whitened is wonderful. But if you don't want to part with the $300 it costs, consider a $30 box of Crest Whitestrips. Everyone I know who's tried them raves about them. Full disclosure: I have a box, but I'm lazy and inconsistent so I can't tell if they work.

On another note, I highly recommend Biore pore strips. I tried them at a boyfriend's (he was a regular user) and few things in life are more satisfying than pulling off the strip and seeing all the little blackhead roots attached. It sure beats getting extractions during a facial. Ouch.

I’ve used both, and love them. In fact, I’m finishing up a box of my Whitestrips today. It’s the first time I’ve used them, and they worked wonderfully. :]

I’m a dancer and a model, but I’m also a COFFEE LOVER! I love coffee (in fact I have some freshly brewed right now and it’s late at night). So I use Crest Whitestrips for my super white teeth! I love it! I wear Invisalign braces, which are just two trays that basically snap over your top and bottom teeth. They hold my Crest whitestrips perfectly in place! I have used the whitestrips for a week now, and my teeth went from a dull yellow to a nice bright white. I just bought another box because I’m obsessive with them and want to see how white I can get my teeth to be! Definitely worth the money! Don’t be cheap, go get a box!
