Bzzagent Review - Crest Pro-Health Advanced Extra Whitening Mouthwash

I'm reviewing the Crest Pro-Health Advanced Extra Whitening Mouthwash from Bzzagent.  I really wish I had a better review for this mouthwash, but unfortunately I don't.  I do not like this mouth wash.  The taste is the ultimate drawback for me.  If the claims about whiter are teeth are true, wouldn't that be wonderful?  After all, don't we all want whiter teeth?  The thing is, it's very hard for me to even know if it is even working.  The taste, oh the taste.  It tastes like sweet baking soda and I just cannot get past the taste.  I'm sorry Crest.  I tried this for about a week and the taste is just unbearable for me.  It's great that it doesn't have the burn, but honestly I'd take the burn over the taste of this mouthwash.  As I sit here typing this review, I just noticed that I'm making a face when I think of the taste.  Some may be able to deal with the taste and that is great.  This mouthwash claims to offer a lot of wonderful benefits, such as:  alcohol free with fluoride, stronger teeth, extra whitening, kills bad breath germs, whiter smile in 7 days, prevents cavities, strengthens enamel and fresher breath...all great benefits.  Even though the Crest Pro-Health Advanced Extra Whitening Mouthwash didn't work for me, it might work for you.  You can find this Crest Pro Health Mouthwash at Walmart.

Maybelline Vox Box - Influenster

I got picked for the Maybelline Vox Box. I signed up for the vox box because honestly, I rarely ever get picked for vox boxes. I don't know if it's because I don't have a huge reach or maybe it is the way I answer my snaps, I don't know.   I'm surprised the campaign was still open when I signed up because I had gotten the email a few days prior and forgot to sign up.  Number 90 - Warm Honey was still available.  It looked as if it may be the closest to my skin tone.   

When I received the vox box, I knew immediately that the shade was not going to work, but I tried it anyway.  Sadly, it made me look ashy.  I didn't feel comfortable posting the picture to my Instagram because the shade just didn't match my skin tone.  It did go on smoothly and I tested it out one Saturday for about 8 hours to see how long it lasted and surprisingly it lasted really well.  I really wished that it matched my skin tone, because I could really see using this foundation.  It wasn't cakey and it kept my oiliness at bay (which was awesome).  Perhaps, Maybelline will consider adding or testing out more shades for women of color.  I would be glad to test out another shade.  

Obligatory pictures of the foundation:
