SexySmile, the best idea since chocolate and peanut butter got together?

Posted Nov 14th 2006 at 12:25PM by Deidre Woollard (Subscribe to Deidre Woollard's posts)

We all know a smile has two main components: soft sexy lips and white teeth. Most lip gloss products just focus on the first half of that equation, but a new product is meant to work on both your lips and your teeth. SexySmile, by celebrity dentist Dr. Pia Lieb, is a lip gloss that also has a teeth whitener. One end is a sponge-tipped lip gloss and the other end is a brush to apply clear whitening gel. According to Dr. Lieb's website, the whitener can be used up to six times per day and can both immediately fix a new stain as well as provide gradual whitening over time. There are seven colors of sparkly gloss and three shades of lip balm (including clear) which sell for $28.50 each.

I think this lip gloss is an excellent idea and the price is very reasonable. Just dont forget to not share your lip gloss.

I'm not a girl but I just finished spending 10,000.00 dollars on my teeth and mouth, 8 extractions and braces for a 2 years. Now that it's all finished I have been putting off the whitening...more money, sigh. This is a really good idea if it works well.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A WHITENER SUCH AS THIS...GO TO A
DENTIST TO HAVE YOUR TEETH TAKEN CARE OF...DO NOT
USE A PRODUCT ENDORSED BY A LAY PERSON..COSMETICS
ARE JUST THAT..COSMETICS.

I am not sure what Barb is trying to say here and don't understand what a Lay person is but as far as cosmetics, I have found that Crest White Strips work wonders. For about $25 and 7 days work they will give you almost as white of teeth as the dentist will but they will charge like $500 or more for the same result!

As a practicing dentist, I can honestly say that the "paint-on" whitening products do not work!! The active whitening ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, must be in contact with the teeth for a certain amount of time every day to get any significant results. The paint on products get washed away by saliva as soon as you close your mouth!! Maybe that is why it can be applied 7 times/day? I wouldn't buy it.

I hear the word "Gimmick Lipstick" written all over this, but I don't think one would hurt to purchase. (And no, I don't get a commission for writing this. I don't know anyone doing this.)A sucker is born every minute, ergo, I have been reborn hundreds of times.

I don't think I would buy that product. I don't believe in paint on whitning products either. I do however trust the Crest Whitning Strips They work wonders. I am a smoker, and an avid coffee drinker. I have the whitest teeth in my house.

Barb, you might want to learn what a lay person is. This product, regardless of merit, is created and endorsed by a dentist. Dentists are trained professionals, not lay people. Open a dictionary before chastizing others.

Anything to make a buck! Just make a sponge-tip eyeshadow on one side and the mascara on the other side and see who buys that one. People like the portable product with dual functions I guess. If I had the means, I would do the same thing.

Amy 11-22-2006 @ 9:28AM

I totally agree with the dentist - the product has to stay on your teeth for the required amount of time. Apply seven times a day - give me a break!

And Barb, look up lay person!

Avante' 11-22-2006 @ 10:23AM

I don't really think that this would work. I agree that people should just go to the dentist and get their teeth whitened.

I have just had a full mouth reconstruction to the tune of over $25,000. Am I happy? You betcha! Personally, I feel too many people are trying to get overly white teeth. They glow in the dark for crying out loud! ZOOM is an excellent product used by dentists. Anyone who goes to a cosmetic counter for medical care is looking for a landscaper to roof their house!

Beth 11-22-2006 @ 10:46AM

I thinkl this is one of those, 'if it makes you happy and you like it, more power to you' kinda products. Maybe it whitens and maybe it doesn't. But if you THINK it whitens and you look and feel more confident with the nice lip gloss, other will take more positive notice of you anyway. So it's self-delusion. We humans do that all the time. Again, more power to the person who wants a tube. :o)

WHAT HAPPENED TO RACHAEL RAY AND HER HUBBY? NO ONE HAS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT .

I have tried the Crest whitner strip and they just slide off two minutes after I put them on. Your dentist's treatment is much less frustrating, unless you can give me a solution.
