Latest Beauty Giveaway:

According to a recent independent survey, teeth whitening is the #1 requested cosmetic service today.  In fact, 80% of Americans age 18-49 want whiter teeth.  And among young adults in the 18-24 age group, 6 out of 10 believe that a whiter smile will help give their self confidence a big boost.

Here at Latest Beauty, we believe that a beautiful smile is an absolute beauty essential, but it can also be very expensive.  Teeth whitening services at a dental office can set you back several hundred bucks!

But we’re young and on a budget.  And we don’t have an hour to spend each day to whiten our teeth with whitening strips.  So how can you achieve beautiful white teeth, on a budget and on-the-go?

Easy!

Try the new Colgate Wisp Plus Whitening – the mini disposable toothbrush that helps you clean your teeth, freshen your breath, and now, even whitens your teeth.  Wherever, and whenever!  For the random times you spot a cute boy at a club and have food stuck between your teeth, the times you wish you didn’t eat that potent garlic bread with your salad for lunch, and for the times that you forget to carry a toothbrush in your handbag (seriously, who does that?), the Colgate Wisp is here to save the day.

According to the folks over at the Colgate-Palmolive Company, “as you brush, a refreshing, liquid-filled bead releases a burst of Coolmint flavored freshness along with a high cleaning silica ingredient that helps whiten teeth by removing surface stains.  No need to rinse, just brush and go.”  Simple, right?  Now, a must-have for your beauty arsenal.

Giveaway Alert: Luckily, Colgate sent us a few packages of Wisps Plus Whitening to give away to our readers here at Latest Beauty. So from now June 18th until next Friday, June 25th, just comment on this post with your favorite teeth whitening tips, and you could be one of three lucky winners to win a packet of four Colgate Wisps.

For those that don’t win, you can find them at your local drugstore for $2.39 (4-pack), $4.39 (8-pack), $7.99 (16-pack).

Everyday tips to keep your pearly whites, err…white, for free!

  • Decrease your consumption of teeth staining liquids like coffee and tea.  And if you must have them, drink with a straw!
  • Brush/rinse after consuming such liquids
  • Follow good oral hygiene (um, duh): brush AT LEAST twice a day, with a toothpaste like Colgate PROCLINICAL Daily Whitening (it has little whitening crystals that help remove surface stains) and of course, don’t forget to floss.  I recommend brushing after every meal and flossing twice a day, but that’s just me :)
