Product Review: Transformulas Professional White Teeth Whitener Pen

This is my third and final review of the prize I won from Transformulas. This product is probably my favourite of the three as it is something that I actually need, as my teeth aren't as white as I would like.

What the Packaging Says:

As with the other products in the range, this one has a lot of information on its packaging, which is always good as it allows me to know exactly what the product is meant to do, how it is meant to do it and what it has inside it to make it do those things!

'"Stainless"....in 60 seconds'

'Professional strength teeth whitening system- whitens teeth in 5 days. Erase away tea, coffee, tobacco stains in a simple 60 second process, without messy plates or mixing'.

The packaging is nice and smart, to the point and has a lovely white smile on the front!

The pen itself is nice and sleek and discreet, it looks a little like an actual pen, and has a nice strong fitted cap that doesn't come off in your bag, so there is no chance of leaking.

When I read the instructions I was pleasantly surprised with how simple the application process was, as I am used to using strong chemical substances mixed onto your teeth and having gum shields on for the whole time which prevented me from being able to speak. This pen just needs to be applied to clean, dry (dab with a tissue to remove moisture first) teeth, left on with your mouth open for one minute, and then left on for a further minute with your mouth closed. You are able to swallow normally, and it doesn't need to be rinsed out as it dissolves onto your teeth.

I did have some doubts as to whether something so 'safe' would actually have any results, however, using it a couple of times a day for a few days I already saw a slight change. My teeth were cleaner and slighter lighter in colour and I reckon that if I had kept application up reguarly then I would see a huge difference. I will aim to get back into using this pen and hopefully have whiter teeth in a couple of weeks!

Rating:

4/5 This is a great product and I feel with regular application it would work really well. However, I am only giving it a 4/5 because I still don't see how I could justify spending this amount on a teeth whitener when there are so many cheaper versions!

Product Review: Transformulas Lip Volume

As you may remember, a while ago I posted a review of the Transformulas Creme. I have only just gotten around to writing the second review from the prize I won from Transformulas. This product is called:

Lip Volume

As you would expect, the product claims to 'increase your lip size without needles' and the packaging states that the product is 'scientifically proven to increase volume, definitition, hydration and condition without the sting'.

The packaging is similar to the creme's in the fact that it is nice and simple but with lots of information on ingredients and directions on how to use on the back. I was very confident of using the product as it told me so much about it before I had even opened it.

The product comes in a very sleek and stylish silver wand, and the applicator is nice and curved, so that you can apply the gloss in one sweep. I have used it twice a day for a couple of weeks and definitely feel that the product does slightly plump your lips, though I am not sure whether it is a long term effect or just a temporary fix whilst the gloss is on. Either way, the gloss is non-sticky, doesn't have a chemical taste, and as advertised, it doesn't sting like some other brands do (although personally I like this slight sting as to me it confirms it is working!).

The gloss is clear and so can be worn over a lipstick if you wish. I think it is a nice product, but definitely not one I would be purchasing as it is so expensive. I will be sticking to good old Soap and Glory (Sexy Mother Pucker) for my lip plumping needs in the future.

4/5 Stars
A great product, but not worth the hefty price tag, there are cheaper alternatives out there that are better.

Product Review: Transformulas Mid-Life Marine Miracle Creme

Way back in June I won a competition through More Magazine when they held their 100 prizes worth £100. I won £100 worth of Transformulas products. Having never heard of the brand before, I went on their page on Facebook and instantly realised I wouldn't be getting much for my prize as the prices are sky high! The brand tagline is beauty without surgery and they cover all areas such as lips, teeth, skin and weight loss aids.

I had a majorly long wait for my prize (as did most of the other comp winners, it was very badly managed!), but finally received the package through the post the other day. Inside were three products (see, told you it's expensive). I got a face cream (which I am reviewing in this post), a teeth whitening pen and a lip plumping gloss (which I will review in later posts).

When I first opened the face cream I said to my mum that I would give it to her as I do not have mature skin. But then I read the (very detailed) instructions on the box and saw that it can act as a preventive measure for those with younger skin, so I opted to share it with my mum instead. I thought this would allow a fairer review as well to have someone with older skin the creme is marketed for.

This is what the packaging says:

'Apply Mid Life Marine Miracle Creme morning and evening to freshly cleansed skin by massaging into the skin... for skin aged preservation, prevention and repair....nature gave you the face that you had at twenty, but you have to earn the face that you will have at fifty'.....

The handy information leaflet also included with the creme states:

'This critically acclaimed anti-ageing cream uses a rich marine cocktail and Lysedine to heal and transform the complexion. Wrinkles and fine lines are reduced. Skin firmness and elasticity are increased. Plus, rejuvenating nutrients help strengthen cell structure, reuslting in younger, healthier looking skin'.

The packaging is great, it is to the point with an image of a woman's face, along with the company logo of a syringe and as mentioned before, a huge amount of info which is great as I knew exactly what the product was, what it claimed to be able to achieve, and what was in it as well. The creme itself is in an amazing container. It is very posh looking with gold trim and I was so in love with how it opens, by twisting the top for the dispensing lid to be exposed! The creme comes out nice and slowly and a little goes a long, long way.

The product feels so nice and cool on your skin (though I would hope so at the retail price!), and I instantly felt refreshed. The creme is not oily or greasy, and it is very light to touch. I didn't feel it was clogging my skin at all and it dissolved very quickly. I love the product!

My mum has used this a few times now and has yet to see any obvious changes in her skin condition, though she does agree that it feels nice and soft, and that, unlike many anti-ageing creams, it isn't oily on your skin. We are both fans, though I would not spend the money it costs for it. Maybe I'm just tight though...

Have you ever heard of Transformulas before? Will you be taking a look at the company now?
