White Teeth and Winter Nudes
We all know nothing pairs better with a gorgeous lip color than dazzling white teeth! I've teamed up with my favourite teeth whitening company iWhite to give one of my readers a chance to try their Professional Teeth Whitening Kit and Toothpaste.
The whitening kit comprises of 10 thin and flexible trays that are one-size-fits-all and individually packed. The rubber trays come prefilled with a revolutionary whitening gel which has been clinically proven to be dental safe and instantly effective. Before trying iWhite I was used to using standard whitening strips that I always felt slipped off my teeth while I wore them so I love how comfortable the trays are. In addition I always noticed sensitivity following use of other brands so I was pleasantly surprised when nothing of the sort happened using the trays. The trays should be worn for about 20 minutes so I usually pop them in while I'm doing my makeup or dying my hair in the morning. You can use the trays for either 5 days consecutively or space them out over a couple of weeks. I tend to use them every second or third day. iWhite say that your teeth will lighten up to 8 shades, I don't know how accurate that is as I have never checked my teeth against a chart before use but I do notice a visible difference! In addition I regularly have people comment on my teeth after I whiten them so that's how I know it's really working! iWhite Instant Care toothpaste is also something I love to use to hold on to my results and keep my teeth looking white and bright! The whitening kit retails for €29.99 and the toothpaste is €9.50, both can be bought here! Keep reading to the end of this post to see how you can win this fabulous duo!
As I mentioned earlier nothing looks better with a pearly smile than a gorgeous lip colour; I thought I'd share with you my 3 current favourites! In the summer I love a bright lip paired with a tan, in the winter however I tend to stick to warm nudes as my skin gets paler. I have been wearing the same 3 over and over again and you guys always ask me what they are on social media!
The first one is a cult beauty product I'm sure a lot of you have seen on Instagram or Youtube; Kat Von D Everlasting Lipstick in "Bow n Arrow". A long-wear, full-coverage liquid lipstick with a smooth, matte finish. The colour is described as a "fawn nude", on me it's definitely a warm brown nude. This liquid lipstick does not budge! Pair it with Whirl lipliner from Mac and you'll be giving Kylie Jenner a run for her money! As I said in my last post Kat Von D is now available in Debenhams so you can purchase it here!
The next one is Nars new Velvet Lip Glide in the colour 'Playpen'. This nude is seriously pigmented, fully coats the lips with one swipe and has a smooth, saturated, semi-matte finish. Its not as long wearing as the Kat Von D liquid lipstick but definitely packs more punch than a lipstick. I love the colour playpen as it's the perfect pinky nude, not too pale for daytime wear! I pair it with Subculture lipliner from Mac, slightly more pink than Whirl. You can buy Nars from Brown Thomas here!
Finally my favourite traditional lipstick is by the legend herself Charlotte Tilbury, K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in the shade "Bitch Perfect". Even the name is fabulous! A paler nude than the first two I love this with a smokey eye. I usually wear a lip balm under it to give it a slightly reflective finish but it's by no means drying on it's own. Paired with her Iconic Nude lipliner they are a match made in heaven! You can purchase it here!
