Pearlys | Smile Box | Review

Hi everyone!

I seem to have been on a mission for super white teeth for as long as I can remember. With hours spent watching the Olsen twins films and endless episodes of The OC coupled with an unhealthy addiction to buying fashion magazines growing up, its no wonder that the perfect gleaming white smile has been the aim ever since. Now i've never had massively discoloured teeth but nor have they ever been the true white colour that i've always wanted, but with a tea addiction to rival the best of them its really no surprise that i've always been on a quest for pearly whites.

Admittedly, for an Olsen twin/ Marissa OC level of gleam, you're probably talking pricey veneers and a few hundreds if not thousands invested into professional dentist whitening treatments and so I hit the high street. I've tried an absolute shed load of whitening toothpastes, whitening mouth washes, pastes with a light attached to the dispenser - you name it, it's been on my bathroom shelf. They all claim to be better than the last and all claim to dramatically whiten your teeth within a few uses. The only thing that i'd never tried (not that I hadn't spent hours on the internet traipsing through reviews and information) are the infamous whitening strips, which by my research are effective but seem like a bit of a faff and can cause quite a bit of discomfort and tooth sensitivity. Absolutely not for me.


(Smile Box - C/O Pearly's)
Thats where Pearly's come in. I met the lovely Liz at the South West Bloggers Meet back in November,  she was there with a few of the company's best sellers demonstrating them and telling us all a little more about the products. I must admit, Pearly's isn't a company i'd heard of up until then, but after having a little (pretty unattractive!) go with the Weekly Brightening Powder at the event I was really impressed. It's product of which i've never heard, and the prospect of brushing a powder onto my teeth seemed a little strange, but even after that one, super quick use, my teeth felt really clean, shiny and definitely had a bit more sparkle. After the event, Liz kindly sent a full kit of their whitening regime to have a go with at home.




The Smile Box is made up of three products. First of all the Weekly Teeth Brighten Powder, a pot of blue powder which is used on a dampened toothbrush (electric works better but manual is absolutely fine too) once or twice a week. You just clean your teeth as you would normally for 2-4 minutes and the powder removes any surface stains leaving your teeth feeling super clean and looking sparkly. The Daily Teeth Whiten Foam is a daily use foam which you just pop a pump of onto your normal toothpaste (it turns any toothpaste into a proper whitening one) and brush as normal. Finally, the product I was most intrigued by, the Teeth-Whitening Pen, a gel filled pen, not dissimilar to the packaging of YSL Touche Eclat, that you twist up and carefully apply to teeth once or twice a week.



I've used the products for about a month now, and quite frankly, I absolutely love them. I've noticed a huge difference in the whiteness and general brightness of my teeth, so have family members and friends (which is always a true test of a product in my eyes!). The products are so simple to use, they've slotted into my usual tooth-care regime perfectly. The pen in particular is absolutely fab as its a lot more targeted than some of the gel and mouldable tooth tray kits on the market, you can completely avoid getting the product on your gums due to the handy pen nib which is something that has always concerned me with other kits. The foam is fab as you can still use your existing toothpaste. As you only use a single pump at a time it lasts for ages. Similarly, the powder is only a small amount at a time and the amount provided in the pot will last for quite a while. I've experienced absolutely no sensitivity while using the products, something that I know a lot of people suffer with other methods, which is absolutely fab. There is also no huge waiting periods like other kits where you have to leave the product on for up to an hour, then not eat or drink for four. The only waiting time is the one minute you need to wait for the pen gel to dry, then as long as you don't eat or drink for thirty minutes you're good to go. Perfect for those of us in a constant rush.





As for before and after photos, this is going to sound really silly, but something that i've realised since using the products is that until now and since trawling through old Facebook photos, I barely ever smiled with my teeth. Well never actually, save for the few drunken university night out photos in which i've lost all toothy inhabition and have whipped a proper smile out,so excuse my drunk-face.  I'm super pleased with the results and would most definitely be tempted to repurchase once these products run out. At £50 for the kit, it's a bit pricier than your average whitening toothpaste, but by the same token, it's a lot lot cheaper than a trip to the dentist, and plus, much more affordable than other systems. Even my housemate is tempted to get one now that he's seen the difference in my teeth. A massive thanks to Liz from Pearly's, i've found teeth nirvana!
(Not the best quality as the bottom two are screenshots from YouTube but it gives you an idea of the difference!)
Have any of you tried any Pearly's products?

    I may have to give this a try, I've been looking for a good whitening product for ages and nothing seems to work.

    This sounds amazing! I keep thinking about getting my teeth done professionally before my wedding, but I think I might try this instead! x
