I wanted to share a bit of a weird review with you today. I wanted to share a review with you on a "beauty product" for your teeth.
This is a product by Pearl drops called Beauty Sleep. It is basically a serum that you put on your teeth and gums over night which is meant to boost the whiteness of your teeth. This product retails at £3.49 and I got it from Boots.I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now I think. I am always a bit skeptical of products that claim to make your teeth whiter. There are so many different ones out there all ranging from relatively cheap like this one to £20+. I have read different reviews online about different products, the ones with a mouth guard that you wear for about 5 minutes at night to special tooth pastes you brush you teeth with.
This product is something you use at night after you have brushed your teeth. You take a pea sized amount and rub it on your teeth (I usually concentrate on the ones you can see when you smile) then you go to bed as normal and it works it magic.
I LOVE this product. I can really see the difference that it has made to my teeth even in the small amount of time that I have been using it. I love the price of the product and I love the fact that you dont have to wear or do anything daft, you just put it on and sleep. One thing I would say is it has quite a strange taste. It tastes a little bit like when you have been to the dentist. Its not too bad, you get used to it, I mean you cant expect it to taste like yumminess can you :P Another thing I would like with this product is it would be good if it came with one of those cards you used to get so you could measure the whiteness of your teeth. I mean you dont really need one because you can see the visible difference but it would be nice to be able to actually measure it on a scale.
Have you tried this product?? Do you love or hate it?

Boots have some great offers on at the moment. A lot of the brands have 3 for 2 on, some of the brands have offers where if you spend a certain amount you get a free gift. L'Oreal and Max Factor have an offer where if you spend £15 you get a free gift box worth £28 (L'Oreal) and £29 (Max Factor).
I wanted to get the Eyeliner I has advertised in a magazine. I have been after a new gel liner for a while now so I thought I would give this one ago. This retails for £9.99 and I figured if I spent another £5.01 I would get a free gift worth £28 so I picked up one of the eye shadows in plum.
The free gift is absolutely fantastic. It contains a Color Riche lipstick in Fuschia (Full sized),Volume Million Lashes mascara (Full Sized) ,Color Riche Nail Topcoat (Full Sized), Revitalift mini pot, Nude Magique BB Cream and True Match Foundation Sachets.
I love the lipstick, its has a bit of a sparkle in it. It is a lovely colour and I think it will be fab for Christmas. I gave the mascara a quick go this morning too... it seems fab but I shall give it a proper go before i pass total judgement. The topcoat is a clear nudey colour which will be fab for a french manicure and has a little hint of purple when you move the bottle.
I love this little gift. I think the Max Factor one is slightly different - I think the products are smaller mascara but has an eyeshadow in as well.
Have you had any of the free gifts from Boots. What products are you loving?

I seem to have purchased a lot of things lately which I have not shared with you girlies. I got some of this stuff in London last weekend and some of the stuff this weekend when I went shopping with my mum.
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Starter Kit - £14.25 - John Lewis - I have been desperate to try this for ages but was put off by the price. I decided to take the plunge when I went to London and just get it... I am so glad I did as I love it - will post a seperate review on this.
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation - £ - Benefit @ Debenhams - She used this foundation when I had the make up session yesterday and I loved it... Plus it has 10% off. It seemed like a small amount of this went a long way.
Benefit Bad lash mascara and liner duo - £20.50 - Benefit @ Debenhams - I spotted this yesterday, I have tried the bad gal lash mascara before and really enjoyed it so I thought I would give this a go as it was a bargain!
Lee Stafford Hot Shots 4 Blondes - £ - Boots - I got these when the Lee Stafford products were on 3 for £12 in Boots. I felt like the highlights I had put in my hair were too blonde and brassy so I thought I would give these a try. I have used a whole sachet (you get 4) over 2 weeks and it has knocked the brassy right out of my hair.
Lush Shower Gels - £3.75 - £4.25 - Lush - I know the snowflake is very popular amongst the bloggers of the world and I wanted to give it a whirl. I also thought I would try the Twilight, I am enjoying both of them although I prefer the Snowflake.
Illamasqua Pigmant Eyeshadow in Beguile - £15.50 - Illamasqua @ Selfridges - If you follow sprinkle of glitter (here) you will know how much she loves this product. I have wanted it for ages but I wanted to see it in person and when we went to London last week I got that chance. I havent used it yet but I can already tell I am going to love it!
OPI Polishes - All about minnie & You only live twice - £11.00 - John Lewis - I tried to resist the OPI stand and couldnt. These were so lovely. The All about Minnie is from the Minnie Mouse collection and You only live twice is from the James Bond Skyfall collection.
The bottom left is some boots purchases yesterday. They include the Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker lip pencils in Fuscha and Plum (£8), The soap and Glory under eye concealer (£9) - these are on 3 for 2. L'Oreal super liner (£9.99), a L'Oreal eyeshadow in plum (£5.99) and the purple and gold Maybeline 24 tattoo cream shadows (£4.99). There are some fab offers on in Boots at the moment.
I am excited to try a lot of these products, I have started using some already which I am loving and cant wait to share what I think with you. Look out for them coming up soon.
