Brighter Smile with Optic White

Brighter Smile With Optic White was compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Colgate-Palmolive. All opinions are mine alone. 

What’s the first thing you notice when you meet someone new?  

My eyes go straight to their smile and teeth. I always notice a bright smile and white teeth.  

Am I the only one who does this?  

Colgate

No Fake Smiles Allowed

I can spot a fake smile a mile away!  

A real smile uses more muscles, including those around the eyes and a fake smile uses only the muscles around the mouth.

Do you remember the old phrase, “turn that frown upside down?” I’ve got a few fun facts about smiling that will put a permanent smile on your face.

Smiling, real or fake relaxes the body and lowers the heart rate. People who smile and laugh often are less likely to develop heart disease.

Smiling Improves Our Mood

Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, lifts our mood, and reduces stress.

Smiling also increases productivity, encourages trust, and is contagious. Fifty percent of people will return a smile.

Here’s my personal fave: Did you know that smiling makes you look younger?  

I’ve noticed that it also erases those parentheses around my mouth. I’ll never frown again! 🙂

Smile!

I’m totally convinced that I should smile more, but I drink my fair share of coffee and tea. These 2 habits contribute to a less than stellar smile.

Tea and coffee are used for dying fabric. Just imagine what it does to my teeth! Yikes!

Colgate Optic White Express

During my latest shopping trip to Walmart to grab some toothpaste, a bright display of a new product, Colgate® Optic White® Express, caught my eye.  

I was impressed when I saw that I could actually get whiter teeth in 3 days just by brushing!*

Hey, I’m brushing anyway, why not get a brighter smile at the same time?

Whitening Toothpaste

As I was scanning the package (red, one of my favorite colors) I noticed that Colgate® Optic White® Express has twice the amount of whitening ingredients than Optic White Sparkling Mint.  

And unlike most whitening toothpaste, it contains hydrogen peroxide, a professionally recommended ingredient for quicker results.

A Brighter Smile with Optic White

Find Colgate Optic White at Your Local Walmart

Psst: I’m so glad I found Colgate® Optic White® Express at my local Walmart!

My teeth are much whiter and I’m smiling more.*

And I almost forgot to mention how much I like the taste. When it comes to toothpaste, the taste is major for me!

It has just the right amount of tingle and leaves my mouth feeling minty fresh.

Is your smile genuine?  

Would you smile more if your teeth were whiter?

*For best results, use as directed for 4 weeks.

I would love it if my teeth were a little whiter, so I will definitely pick some of this up to try it out.

I was very pleasantly surprised with the new Express White. Now I actually look forward to brushing.

I really should get this. I smile a lot! I can’t tell you how many people have told me they love my smile. I even have dimples. And my parents spent a lot of $$ on braces for me. But lately I have noticed my teeth are not as white as I’d like them to be. And the whitener trays cause me too much irritation to use. I think I will add this to my Amazon order.

A beautiful WHITE smile is so important to me. However, I am a tea and coffee drinker so that makes it a challenge sometimes, so I hang around the “Mother of Pearl” hue. 🙁 I’ll definitely try this so see if it will help my darling smile.

I am a big fan of Colgate Optic White toothpaste, but I haven’t tried the Express. I’ll have to grab some coupons Saturday and stock up.

Growing up my Mother was a big fan of old fashion ideas such as brushing with baking soda and peroxide. Guess she was on to something. Thanks for the review.

I love when toothpaste contains whitener, because then I do not have to add a second step to my daily routine! Thanks so much for the review!

I can’t wait to give this a try! My teeth could use a little whitening, but I hate whitening strips and trays full of goo. Thanks!

Yes, lol.. This was so true. The FIRST place my eyes go straight to are peeps teeth too LOL LOL.. But that’s why I am so serious that I want to make sure my teeth is white. Because I drink coffee and of course this stains my teeth. I did however use in past crest white and boii did it work WELL!! I need to try something new now and after reading this awesome review I will definitey go and grab this! I will give this a try now.

This is a good product! We enjoy using it at our house. I’m all for products which make teeth whiter without being harmful. I too, am a fan of coffee so it is important to use a good product for teeth cleaning like Optic White.

If I see this for sale, I’m snatching it. I need a whiter smile after years of coffee-drinking. And I love all your smile quotes in this post!

I love Optic White! I’ve tried it out before and it works great. I’m always looking for something that can give you whiter teeth, so I’ll have to start using this brand again and hopefully I can see a difference.

I’ve used Optic White so many times in the past and I’ve been quite happy with the results. I have to give their mouthwash a shot now too.

Optic White is a great product. My daughter used it after she had her braces off. It gave her a nice white smile.

When I was a teenager, I got lots of compliments for my white teeth and bright smiles. Well, who knows what happened to that right now….Maybe I should try this stuff since it works so fast! You do have some funny sayings in your post that have me smiling right now…and I see no wrinkles around your mouth on you profile photo:)

I’m definitely subconscious about my smile because of how much tea I drink. I’ll definitely want a product to try in the future.

This toothpaste sounds great. I smile genuinely all the time but when I take pictures I tone it down to hide the extra teeth I have. I would love to have a whiter smile though.

I always use the Crest 3D Whitening strips… but I’ve been wanting to check out Optic White forever to compare!

My gums are pretty sensitive to the whitening strips. Optic White Express whitens, but does not do a number on my gums. 🙂

Kori Tomelden February 26, 2015 - 11:06 am

That does sound like a great toothpaste to use. We’re still content with Colgate Total… or whatever happens to be on sale.

A pretty smile really is a draw. And likewise an unattractive one can be distracting. Always good to know your options!

I’m often trying to cover my smile only because I’m a coffee drinker. I love the name of this as it makes me think bright white brilliance immediately.

I am also a huge smile fan! I did not know all of those fun facts about how good it is for you to smile. I did know that it always makes you feel better. I will be looking for this demo in a store near me. Thanks.

I used to be a smoker and regret it so much. While my teeth aren’t horribly stained they’re still not as white as I’d like. I’ve tried a few other products before but haven’t had much luck so I will definitely consider Optic White.

I tried to find this in the store last week but they didn’t have it! I got another optic white toothpaste, though. I’ve been noticing how my teeth aren’t as white as they used to be thanks to all the coffee I drink. Hopefully this toothpaste will help!

My fake smile is definitely spottable. It always shows through in those awkward photos where the photographer takes way too long to take the photo. Lol. At least my teeth can be shiny and white thought!

I’m definitely going out and getting this product because I am curious to see what my teeth will look like in 3 days. I am a fan of Colgate products and don’t know why I haven’t tried this yet anyways.

One thing that’s important to me is my smile. I’ve been using the Colgate Optic White for about a month now and I like it.

I’ve always been a big fan of oil pulling and urge you to try that if you love this! Good for you too… admittedly, Optic White would be a wee bit easier though 😛

I’ve actually been using Optic White for about a month now and I love it. There is nothing worse than being on a YouTube video with yellow tinted teeth and Optic White has definitely helped me with that!
