Why I Smile

This is a tube of used toothpaste, Colgate Optic White Enamel White in fact. Why am I showing you this? Well, as a mom and as a Latina, Bustelo espresso is my best friend and my smile's worst enemy. Right before the holidays, I was contacted by Colgate to try out their new toothpaste, brush and mouthwash. They claimed my smile will be 1 whole shade whiter in 5 days. In a nutshell, a smile can make or break a look and well, I'm at that age where taking care of your skin and your teeth are more important than the next big trend. I'm aging folks and it's not cute. Now back to Colgate:

It worked. I was a bit surprised actually. In 5 days, my smile did look brighter. Then at the 5 day mark, I got excited and immediately started thinking how amazing my smile would look in the next 5 days.

Yup, still the same. My guess it that you get a whole shade whiter and the rest of the time you are basically protecting your smile. The mouthwash however, does seem to brighten a bit more with every use.

The final verdict:

I've already purchased a new tube!
