Review - White Glo toothpaste

White Glo is a fairly new brand to the UK which is available exclusively to Boots.

White Glo was Australia's fastest selling tooth whitening system when the original formula sold in excess of a million units.

In the UK there are four different toothpastes, each comes with a special toothbrush to use in conjunction with it, including extra strength, coffee and tea drinkers, smokers formulation and the one I bought which was the extra strength whitening toothpaste with 2 in 1 mouthwash.

I only used this once a day at night as I have sensitive teeth so I used my normal toothpaste with my electric toothbrush in the morning.

So here are my teeth before I started using this:

And here they are after:

I have only just noticed the difference in light in the photos but there is that little difference in shades I don't think it really matters.

Before my teeth weren't really stained, they were slightly discoloured so it's good that since using White Glo they haven't got worse but where the main problems are I'll have to go to the dentist for a clean.

I would buy White Glo again as even though there wasn't a dramatic difference I'm still impressed with the results.

What's in my bag?

Like the title suggests this post is going to show you what I have in my handbag. But first of all which handbag am I using?

This is a Kipling bag and it's design is called Cerys. I can't find this shade anywhere but other ones are available from QVC for £53.52 or from Kipling themselves for £77 so it depends which shade you want.

And in it is...

Product use up

Another month has gone so it's time for my product use up update. If you read last months post, which coincidentally can be found here, you'd have seen that I had a very successful month but May was still quite good as I used up ten products.

L'Oreal Elnett hairspray

Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 one step cleanser

L'Occitane cherry blossom shower gel

Good Things miracle mattifier moisturiser

The Body Shop seaweed toner

Avon senses shower gel

No7 eye make up remover

Ren Micro Polish Cleanser
Soft & Gentle deodorant
Batiste dry shampoo

Eek so we're now in June, blimey it's flying by, so on my next product use up I'll do a more in depth review of how I'm doing as I'll be at my half way point of my challenge!

If you're taking part in this challenge how are you doing?

Haul - Naked Body Care

Yes I bought the £8 Groupon for £20 off an order at Naked Body Care as I thought it would be a great opportunity to buy somethings which are on my wishlist and my order arrived this afternoon! And I have to add it was beautifully packaged:

What I ordered:

Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - £3.99

Clear Anti-Dandruff Conditioner - £3.99

Looking Good Soothing Eye Gel - £7.49

Up Tone Girl Gentle Toner - £4.49

Perfect Getaway Cream Cleanser - £4.49

Blinkingly Lovely Eye Make-up Remover - £4.49

The make-up remover, eye gel and the shampoo and conditioner are all new products and I'm really excited to try the anti-dandruff ones as I am trying to find a good paraben and SLS free product to control my scalp eczema.

I will review all of these once I've used them!

Did you buy the Groupon, what did you buy? Which Naked products would you recommend?

New Body Shop duo body butters

The Body Shop have come up with a new product, a duo body butter. The pot is divided into two sections where in one half the product is developed for normal skin and the other half for dry skin. It seems such a simple idea it makes me wonder why someone hasn't thought of it before!

The butters are available in four different scents: macadamia, vanilla, floral acai and sweet pea.

These RRP at £12.50 but they are currently priced at £10.00 as an introductory offer! Buuuuut if you have a Love Your Body card on the 2nd June they have a 30% off event so you could get the body butter for £7!

These are available exclusively at The Body Shop.

PTD - Challenge 51

At Pear Tree Designs this week the challenge is to create a card with sparkle! I designed this:

I could have gone all out with the glitter but I was pushed for time so stuck to gems instead which lets face it aren't as much fun!

Cards are to be submitted by 4pm on Sunday! Good luck!

The week that was....

This week, what a week! I finally got a date to start my job....13th June is the day! Eek I'm excited but so so nervous!

I've been trying to get my house sorted and things sorted out for when I start work full time as one week I'll be working 37.5 hours and the other I'll be working 45 hours as I'm staying on working every other saturday at my current job. It turns out I have a lot of stuff to get done in a short space of time!

I'm also drafting lots of blog posts that I want to do so that my blogging hopefully won't take that much of a back burner. 

Work this week has been one big fat pain the bum. Well one person has made it like that. Makes me glad I'm kind of leaving!

I've also had to write lots of complaints about things ranging from my local supermarket having basically no food, a well known beauty store being disgustingly dirty and to a golf company who's £5 2-3 day delivery service turned into a 6 day delivery service, we got the money back for that!

Also I had a lovely response to a post I did as thank you to everyone who responded and for the lovely email I received, the sender knows who she is!

Finally I've had this for a while but kept forgetting to post it so back to the Royal Wedding we go, I thought it was funny:
