Primark Teeth Whitening Kit Review - Does it Really Work?!

Primark Express Teeth Whitening Kit

Yes, you've heard it here right, Primark now stock teeth whitening kits! The Primark Express Teeth Whitening Kit is actually one of three teeth whitening products available, so of course, you guys know I had to give this a go to see if it really does perform for the price?...

Price
The Primark Express Teeth Whitening Kit retails for an insanely affordable £3.50. There is also a Coconut Oil Pulling Kit and Charcoal Toothpaste.

Packaging
The outer packaging is very similar to a lot of other drugstore whitening kits with the only difference being the amazing price point.

Inside you'll find, 1 Teeth Colour Chart, Tooth Gel (50ml), Toothpaste (16ml) and 1 Gumshield. On the box, it claims you can get 30 applications out of the kit.

Application
This is relatively quick and easy to apply and you also get instructions on the back of the box to guide you through everything. Additionally, it mentions that this can also help remove and lift yellow stains caused by coffee and red wine etc. plus its peroxide free and is a 7-day treatment.

I recommend you watch the video I linked above if you would like to see a live demo, but I'll also share with you a step by step guide below.

1. First, determine using the teeth colour chart what colour your teeth are before you start. Don't forget to make a mark so you can see your progress also!

2. Next taking the mini toothpaste clean your teeth before you go in with the whitening gel. I recommend whitening them at night so that the gel can penetrate on completely clean teeth.

3. Now it's time to whiten! Set your timer first to 5 minutes so you're ready to go, then taking your tooth gel place a good amount in the top and bottom of the gum shield. Once you are done place the shield comfortably in your mouth (ensuring you have it the right way up), start the timer and do a dance! (dance not compulsory).

4. Once the timer is done, take your gumshield out and wash it out straight away so you're ready to go with your next treatment and that's really it. It is that simple as there's no need to rinse your mouth out afterwards.

Longevity
Initially, after my first use, I really couldn't see a difference, so I continued using this for the week just like it said. After one week I gave you an update also in the video I linked above and to be honest more than anything my teeth looked brighter more than whiter. After two weeks I've now finished the kit and overall there has been no change since the last time I checked in. I also cannot see that any of my stains on my teeth have faded much. However, one thing I did really like about this is the fact it didn't make my teeth sensitive or uncomfortable which is always a good thing.

Overall Thoughts
I love the fact that Primark is now doing teeth whitening kits that are peroxide free and ridiculously affordable, however for the price I wasn't expecting miracles! Honestly, I think this is a great kit if you either have sensitive teeth or you're just after something that's going to brighten and refresh your smile, but truthfully if you're after a teeth whitening system that's going to rapidly whiten your teeth just like Ross from Friends, then really this is not the kit for you!

I award the Primark Teeth Whitening Kit a 3.5 out of 5

First Impressions Update - Primers, Teeth Whitening, Tanning and Brush Cleaning

 

About a month ago I did a First Impressions Week on my channel, where I put to the test some new launches and discoveries, covering everything from Tanning to Teeth Whitening and Brush Cleaners to Mascara's. I wanted to give you an update on all five products that I road tested, as I feel the more you use a product the more you form a solid opinion on what you really think of something, which is why I like sharing with you my product empties videos. So here's my final thoughts on all five products.

1. Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama
I'm still loving this mascara, but I can see why people really don't like this, as it can be quite a clumpy mascara, especially if you add more than two layers. But that being said, I personally love this because it gives me that false lash effect, it lengthens my lashes nicely and it stays put throughout the day.

2. Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm
This really is a genius beauty hack, thanks to Nikkie Tutorials, as it's amazing at helping your make-up stick to your face all day long and I actually find it look's even better when I don't use a moisturiser prior to priming. It's also replaced my beloved Benefit Porefessional, which I used to use all the time.

3. Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette
I can defiantly say this brush cleansing palette has helped make washing my brushes an overall more enjoyable experience! This palette, has different sized nodules on it to cater for every brush size, but for me I've actually been swishing my brushes over all three. As I mentioned before the only brush that doesn't clean as well is a long haired duo-fibre brush, but apart from that, this helps clean all my brushes thoroughly.

I've also been enjoying the brush cleansing gel, that came in a sachet as a free sample with the palette, as it has a beautiful pleasant smell and does help clean my brushes well too. So keep posted as I may just do a full review on this as well.

4. Rimmel Sun Shimmer In-Shower Self Tan
This was honestly a total miss for me, I really wanted to love this, as the whole concept sounds great, but really in reality it's not so great. The thing that made this not work for me was as your applying this in the shower, you have no control on being able to add more or less to some parts of your body, resulting in the tan building up in all the places you don't want it too, i.e. knees, elbows and feet. When I usually do my tan I add moisturiser to the problem areas where tan is more likely to grab on to, then after application, I add a little more moisturiser to these areas to help blend them out naturally, but obviously with this you can't as your doing applying it in the shower. I also think that one layer is enough as anymore can make you look orange, although this can be used as a gradual tanner.

So overall after my ramble, I feel this is more suited to experienced tanners, if you really are short of time and you need a slight glow to the skin for a night out or special occasion.

5. Colgate Max White Whitening Pen
I absolutely loved this whitening pen as not only is convenient for travel, it really does work! I used this day and night for two weeks after brushing and overall my teeth looked whiter and brighter.

On the packaging is does say you should use this for up to three weeks, but my pen only lasted two, as I think you do need to use quite a bit to be able to cover the teeth adequately. But overall for the price you cannot beat the value and results you get from this whitening pen.
