tarte cosmetics + BriteSmile = enbrightenmint

Speaking of bright lips for summer, tarte cosmetics and BriteSmile have teamed up to bring you enbrightenmint, a tooth whitener & lip gloss. Just like the set up for tarte’s double ended lip glosses, enbrightenmint contains BriteSmile whitening on one end and tarte’s bright lip gloss on the other. Not only will your lips shine, your teeth will too.

I had the opportunity to try out enbrightenmint in radiant red. I was pretty nervous since I know that reds are just not my color. However, this is not a deep red, in fact I would say it is more like a hot pink once you’ve brushed it on. However, both colors have blue undertones to make your teeth look even whiter.

The BriteSmile tooth whitener is said to whiten your teeth by up to 8 shades in 2 weeks when using it once a day. tarte’s lip gloss is sinfully healthy for you with multiple fruit extracts like acai, goji berry and pomegranate.

This product is tricky to use, as you would assume all you do is twist and the product will come out. However, the key is to making sure the moveable part in the center of the pen is either switched right or left depending on which portion of the product you want to dispense. Unfortunately I found out the hard way when I couldn’t figure out why the BriteSmile was not coming out until I opened the cap to the gloss and it poured out from the cap all over me. Fun times.

The gloss is as minty in taste and scent as the BriteSmile and the color does look very pretty on. I know I have some tarte addicts for readers, so please let me know if you’ve tried it yourself.
