Vaseline Spray & Go


I received Vaseline Spray & Go from Influenster to try for free. I have used Vaseline products in the past and overall I feel they are average. Some of their products I feel to be somewhat watery especially their lotion. This product however, exceeded my expectations. I love skinny jeans and wear them often and have found that lotioning my legs and then attempting to wriggle into a pair can be challenging. Often times I have to wait for 5-10 minutes for the lotion to be absorbed into my skin and dry them off before putting them on. Surprisingly, this lotion actually did what it claims to! I got out of the shower, dried off, sprayed the lotion and rubbed it in. It worked relatively well for me. It wasn't a miracle solution, but it did absorb far more quickly than typical lotions and minimized the time from applying lotion to getting dressed. I would probably consider using this product in the future and would recommend it to my friends.

Colgate Optic White

I received Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, a Colgate Optic White Toothbrush, and the Colgate Optic White Mouth Rinse. I am always a little skeptical about whitening toothpastes, as I feel that the best way to whiten your teeth is by going to the dentist and using the whitening trays that cost a little money. I am however, willing to try anything to whiten my smile, especially if it is reasonably priced. I tried the toothbrush and toothpaste first and was pleasantly surprised. There was a fresh, clean feeling without a gritty texture or odd taste that is sometimes accompanied with whitening toothpastes. I honestly feel like it did help some with whitening my teeth, but I am not quite sure if I would go as far as to say they are three shades lighter.

Next, I tried the mouth rinse. This was a different story. I have a few sensitive teeth and after about 5 seconds of swishing the mouth rinse, I had to spit it out. It sent a painful tingling sensation through my sensitive teeth that was uncomfortable and I will not be able to use it again. I did have my husband try it (he has normal teeth) and he enjoyed it and had no problems. I do have this problem with most mouth rinses though, and I do not feel like it was the brand itself, just the nature of the product that caused me issues. I would recommend the toothpaste and toothbrush to anyone, but would discourage those with sensitive teeth from using the Colgate Mouth Rinse.
