Battle Between Crest and Colgate

Want to have a whiter smile? This week, me and my bestie did the official test of toothpaste!

Bestie & Myself, Showing Off Our Pearly Whites!

Top: Product 1 Bottom: Product 2

Product 1: Colgate Whitening Toothpaste

Product 2:  Crest 3D White Toothpaste

Whether we have a date coming up or grad pictures, we all want whiter teeth (thats a fact). As women we take pride in our smile, as it is one of the key components to success. I was so sick and tired of trying different toothpaste out to see which would whiten my smile most effectively, so that’s why I decided to test two options out, with the help of my bestie.

The Process: Submerging Eggs In Coffee & Brushing

The Process: 

I took two eggs, boiled them each for three minutes.

Then, I made a pot of coffee, one of our many weaknesses.

I let the eggs soak in the coffee for 45 minutes.

I took the eggs out and started to brush each one with the different pastes and brushes both for 30 seconds each.

The Results:

Colgate Egg After Brushing Coffee Stains

Crest Egg After Brushing Coffee Stains

The results were obvious, I was amazed at how well Crest 3D worked after the 30 seconds of brushing.  As the Crest egg reveals, a whiter outcome than the Colgate toothpaste in the same time period of brushing. There were specs of what i'd like to call "fighting power" in the Crest paste that I feel contributed to the success of the brushing. The Colgate egg did remove the coffee stains, however at a much slower rate than the Crest brand.

I rate Crest 5 shopping bags out of 5 and Colgate 3 shopping bags out of 5. If you want that perfect white smile to feel confident at that first impression, i'd suggest you switch to Crest and start brushing immediately!

Pictures Speak For Themselves

For this weeks blog post, I decided to test a product that I would actually use and would come in handy for all busy female professionals. Whilst working multiple part time jobs, consulting as a entrepreneur and balancing a full school load, time is something that we all seem to be running out of (certainly myself). I seldomly hit snooze on the alarm in my sleep and there's always those mornings that I have run out of time for a full-fleshed shower. I have the hair type that needs to be washed each and every day. In this case, I turn to my good friend dry shampoo.

Product: Pantene Pro-V Dry Shampoo

Pantene Pro-V Dry Shampoo

Price: $5.39 + Tax   140 g (Standard Size)

Promotion: I was immediately blown away by this product for the fact that I got this sample completely FREE when purchasing Pantene conditioner. It was attached as an "on the go" product sample which was perfect for busy people like myself and is a small size to fit in my purse. 

How does it work?

It instantly revives freshness between washes to give hair a clean and refreshed feeling.

This product is allergy tested with a formula of natural taploca that absorbs oil and leaves hair refreshed.

Step 1: Shake

Step 2: Spray

Step 3: Rub In

Step 4: Brush

The results: Absolutely amazing. Unlike other brands I have used in the past, Pantene did not leave any sort of residue behind. Other brands use a formula of baby-powder that leave a white residue on your scalp. Having dark brown, almost black hair that just isn't suitable for me. Pantene Dry Shampoo was excellent. No residue and my hair had a much healthier and cleaner feel to it after the application. It is very quick following the above four steps. The picture below speaks a thousand words of how successful this product was.

And of course, a selfie to follow:

I rate Pantene Dry Shampoo 5 shopping bags out of 5!! It was easy to use for on the go, left no white baby-powder residue like other brands tend to do and worked amazingly. I reccomend any ladies that woke up too late, and don't have the time to shower to use this product to stay fresh and look professional.
