Colgate Optic White

I got my most recent Vox Box from Influenster last week, not knowing what was in it.  To my surprise there were tons of goodies in there.  Today I'm going to give you my impressions of Colgate Optic White.
The box included Colgate Optic White toothpaste, Colgate Optic White mouthwash and a Colgate Optic White toothbrush.  All of them came in beautiful red and white packaging.  The toothpaste was regular size but the mouthwash seemed small - it was not a trial size by any means, but I am used to buying family size mouthwashes so it just appeared small to me.
The toothbrush was amazing.  I normally use a power toothbrush, but the Colgate toothbrush was very impressive.  It is probably the closest I can get to a power toothbrush in a manual brush.  It felt good in my mouth and it wasn't too big (as I feel some are) but it really felt like it was scrubbing my teeth.  It also had little circles in it, called "whitening cups".  They keep your toothpaste on th brush.  Clever!  My favorite part, however, was the no-slip handle.  If your toothbrush gets a little too wet it won't just slip out of your fingers.
My absolute favorite item from the set was the toothpaste.  It's pure white and has a great taste.  It's not quite minty, but it's refreshing, and it creates enough foam.  After three days of use I noticed my teeth were whiter already.   I will definitely switch to this toothpaste even after my free tube is gone - it is so much cheaper than those strips, and I don't have to devote any extra time in my day or energy to use it.
Finally, the mouthwash.  I have to say, this was not my favorite product.  The taste was great, but it gets foamy after you swish it around a bit.  After the recommended 60 seconds I spit it out, but my mouth felt like it had a film in it.  I had to rinse my mouth with water after.  I tried it again on the second day, hoping I would get used to it, but I just couldn't.  Again, I was left with a filmy taste in my mouth that I had to rinse out with water.  This isn't a big deal, but it added an extra step to my brushing routine and when I use mouthwash I expect my mouth to feel clean after, not filmy.
Colgate Optic White has made me a believer.  My teeth are already whiter after just a week.  I highly recommend the toothbrush and toothpaste.
