Smile Brilliant Review and Teeth Whitening Kit Giveaway #WinGiveaways

January 27, 2014 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Giveaways, Win Giveaways

Well folks, let’s be honest. HOPEFULLY this is as close and personal as you ever get to me (my blog wasn’t intended for that) but in time for the holiday season and your dazzling smile, I wanted to share with you a review of Smile Brillant Teeth Whitening Kits.

I am sure the first think you noticed when scrolling through these posts was my smile. Yep, it’s big and bright and out there and definitely ready to mingle at the upcoming Christmas gathers I have on my calendar.

First, I am very sensitive to products in my mouth. I hate the dentists and am very selective over toothpaste (sometimes I consider Sensodyne.) I have never had braces, I do not have cavities and I made it pretty lucky in the teeth department. Yes, I have my flaws but for the most part my habits (minus the coffee) keep my teeth pretty white. In the past I have tried teeth whitening kits and haven’t gotten further than using about 1/3 a Crest White Strip Box. I did get a voucher for a kit once and it was rather awful causing mouth sores in my gums – not worth the bleaching!

I decided to go ahead and try the Custom Teeth Whitening Trays. I loved that these were custom fit to your mouth. When you receive your kit you mix a putty and form a mold to your teeth. This mold dries within minutes and you ship your mold out for a custom fit tray. I got mine mold back in about 7 to 10 days. I have had kits before where you boil water and shape a mold to your teeth. I was only able to use those kits once as I felt as if i was a football player with a giant mouth guard in my mouth. The misshapen mold also allowed bleach to seep to my gums and that hurts!

My kit has a syringe for desensitizing. I would put the first gel in my trays and wear it in my mouth first. It fit comfortably on my teeth and I was amazing what a perfect fit it was. After desensitizing was done, I went to the whitening gel. I did three treatments. The first treatment was fine, the second I had some touch my gums and it hurt and the third was fine again but I was not able to keep them in as long.

All in all, I am glad I did this kit. I felt good about my smile and it was something I was able to do from the comfort of my home. I am grateful to have my custom mouth piece and plan to use another syringe (3 treatments) before another big event.

Kit Details:

Teeth Whitening Trays – 2 Custom-fitted whitening trays (upper and lower teeth)
Carrying Case – Compact case holds both your whitening trays
Impression material to make your own dental impressions (plus extra material included)

2 year teeth whitening tray replacement warranty
Detailed instructional brochure – Simple guide to creating your custom-fitted teeth whitening trays
30 day satisfaction gurantee!

Warranty and Guarantees – thumbs up!

Smile Brilliant also has a LED Kit for whitening your teeth. Kit come with guard, gel and light. I love that it comes with a satisfaction guaranteed! That shows the company stands behind the product!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Tanya!

DaySpring is one of my favorite resources for shopping for Christian gifts for holiday seasons – including Christmas. In fact, just the other day I picked up a BEAUTIFUL pitcher (regular $25) for FREE! I paid ONLY S&H. I love their items and love that they have precious items one would be happy to gift. Items for the kitchen, jewelry for her, décor for the home, you really can’t go wrong. For those that would like to offer encouragement with words, Day Spring has loads of FREE eCards. Say thank you, Merry Christmas, happy birthday, thinking of you and more.

Began in 1971, by four Christian men, DaySpring’s good reputation soon lead to it being bought by Hallmark in 1999. While DaySpings awards speak much, their customer testimonials speak volumes. Reaching the homes of many, DaySpring’s materials fill the hearts of the joyful and those in a time of mourning or loss.

My latest find on DaySpring was the Jones Design Company Canvas Prints. Jones Design worked with DaySpring to make the most adorable and personalized (optional) canvas prints. Choose between framed or canvas wrapped, choose between personalized, and choose between rich sand colors, blues hues, and more. I picked up the You are Here to Be Light, Lamp Framed Canvas in Taupe and the As For Me and My House, Chair Framed Canvas in Taupe. I placed them in my master bedroom and for me it is so encouraging to roll over and view scripture each morning.

Another one of my favorite items from DaySpring, is the Hurricane Trio. I got the set last year and lit up I think it makes the most beautiful evening accent during the Christmas season.

To Win: One lucky winner will win a $100 Credit to DaySpring.

Note: In the top right of the site, read about how you can get 10 FREE cards and an organizer by joining the Heart Connection Card Club. This is a service but you can do the trial if you desire.
