whitening lightning super booster teeth whitening pen

i have never tried teeth whitening products before and i learned that they aren't necessarily for me - i just don't have the patience!

like i wrote in an earlier post this year i got this whitening lightning teeth whitening pen in a combo when i ordered gerard cosmetics lip products. (in case you didn't know whitening lightning and gerard cosmetics are basically the same company).






the instructions says to apply thin layer on the teeth and smile widely minute or so to let it dry. to get best result you should apply the product in the evening before going to sleep.

at first i must admit i think i was using too much product at once since the product was finished after 11 applications. also there was one bothering thing for me - the saliva made the formula to foam so the formula didn't really dry properly in my opinion.

i took before and after pictures but i didn't even bother to put them up since i didn't see any difference. that is partially my fault since i forgot many times to apply the product so the 11 applications weren't in following days.

i actually read from their website after that this teeth whitening pen is "great for maintaining your smile". even i would recommend this product for someone who has done a proper teeth whitening and wants to maintain the result.

price: 29$, but check whitening lightning and gerard cosmetics websites for discounts.

dove summer glow normal to dark skin

i actually found this product on the back of a shelf few weeks ago and i decided to give it another go.





























the first picture is from may but since finnish summer has been rubbish and i have been working all the time, the color of my skin is pretty accurate. in the second picture i have 2 layers of dove summer glow. i'm sorry the lightening is different (even both have been taken same spot, in the evening and with flash..), but you can see how dark color it gets already with 2 applications. i think that is one of the reasons why i haven't finished using it.


































dove summer glow is actually a body lotion with gradual self-tanning. i think if you have dry skin you can really benefit from this product compared to other self tanners but since i have normal skin the drying time is really long and i just hate the greasy feeling. though i give plus from easy application - its really easy to get even finish.

if you don't want such dark result, try the one for fair to normal skin.
this product is a real bargain self tanner since the price is around 6€.
