GLO Brilliant Review: Day 4 the Finale

GLO Brilliant Personal Whitening Device
invented by Dr. Jonathan Levine

On Wednesday night, I completed my 4 days of GLO Brilliant whitening, which included 16, 8 minute sessions.  It was easy, painless and worth it.  I can see significant whitening and I am looking forward to maintaining my results with one weekly 8 minute session.

Do I think GLO Brilliant is worth the $275 investment?  Absolutely YES!!!  It pays for itself!

Over the years I have paid to have two sets of at home whitening trays made for me, and have purchased at least 8 vials of whitening gel at $70 a pop. The trays do deteriorate and need to be replaced.  The well crafted mouth piece in myGLO Brilliant system will never wear out.

Best of all, I experienced none of the mind numbing, painful tooth sensitivity that is a common side effect, not only with at home whitening kits, but with OTC dental strips.

My initial before pictures were taken in my bathroom, which apparently has awful lighting!  I will show you Before and After's taken there, plus in better light, under a natural skylight:

I couldn't be more pleased.  I honestly don't think the pictures capture how much whiter my truth truly are.

 If you think about how much money you spend on any single item of clothing, that you may wear, maybe once a month, it is money out the window, compared to a prettier smile that you get to wear everyday.

This is pure Diva common sense, and the reason I just ordered a Super Solano blow dryer.  If my hair looks better after drying it at the gym, it's time to invest in a better dryer that will help me look my best each day at home.

There is really anyone on the planet who would look to me for money saving tips, but when it comes to beauty, I think I have figured out a thing or two along the way,  and I love to share them with you.

GLO Brilliant Review: Results Day 2

Last night was my second night of using my award winning GLO Brilliant Personal Whitening Device. I will admit that my anxiety level is now zero,after learning directly from Stacey Levine, Co- Founder, that you are NOT expected NOT to swallow, in a given 8 minute session. 

I had read reviews from others who found not spitting to be a challenge as well, but in truth, there is no issue in swallowing. Basically, it is just your own saliva. The gel product adheres safely to your teeth only.

In my opinion, this should be one of the key questions asked and answered in Dr. Jonathan Levine's FAQ page in the instruction manual. It seems to be a point of confusion and it's the only thing that would make using GLO Brilliant cumbersome.

Now I'm a pro at handling the equipment and the procedure.  I whitened away, while watching one of my guilty pleasures, Real Housewives of New York,(sidebar to Sonja; don't quit your day job...Oh.  That's right--you don't have one.) The commercials seemed perfectly timed to the end each of my 4, eight minute segments.

Kismet.

Here's the update in pictures:

It's subtle, but I definitely see an improvement.  Do you?

GLO Brilliant Review: Results Day 1

 

GLO Brilliant (apparently they weren't kidding) applicator
in action

Like most of us, I am a creature of habit...My favorite way to spend any given Sunday, is waking up slowly, with an enormous mug of coffee, propped on several pillows watching Sunday Morning with Charles Osborne. At some point I will multi-task and slip Dr. Murad's Intensive C Radiance 10 minute Glycolic Peel on my face, neck and decollete.

This week, I had a new beauty task to tack on-- with my award winning GLO Brilliant Personal Whitening Device charged and ready to glow, I got started on whitening my teeth.

Everything about the GLO Brilliant Personal Whitening Kit is sleek and functional. If it were a laptop it would definitely be a MAC. Truly, it is a work of art and an obvious labor of love.

The product applicators have enough inside them for a complete daily session of 4 sittings at 8 minutes each, 4 days in a row. If there is any leftover product, it can be refrigerated for up to 7 days, without losing potency. The fence like bristles ensure that the product gets into all the nooks and crannies of both the upper and lower outside teeth.

The timer is pre-set to turn off after 8 minutes has elapsed, simply press the "glo" button to activate it. Nicely, it is attached to a lariat, you can wear around your neck, after plugging it into the whitening device, so you are mobile.

I mistakenly thought you were required to not expel, during each 8 minute session, which I will admit was bit of a challenge. I just spoke with Co-Founder Stacey Levine and she explained that it is perfectly safe to swallow, since the product remains on the teeth, once it is placed.

Phew!!!

When it comes to following the maintenance schedule, I will be doing one eight minute session a week, (no doubt with a 10 minute Murad Intensive C Radiance Peel on my face), rather than repeating the 4 day schedule monthly. That is entirely manageable for any ones busy schedule, mine included

GLO Brilliant Day 1- Before

Here are my teeth, post brushing and pre-GLO. It should be noted that GLO Brilliant is safe and effective on both veneers and crowns.

GLO Brilliant Day 1- After

This is how they looked after one GLO Brilliant treatment. I swear they already look brighter already, though the literature said most people do not see an effect until after the third treatment. As others have reported on Sephora's website, I had none of the pain and sensitivity I usually experience post whitening treatments. Bravo!!!

What to you think??? Do they look a bit whiter to you?

Come back and visit to see the full results. I'll be posting pictures everyday and I'm psyched!!!

GLO Brilliant: Personal Teeth Whitening Device: An introduction

Dr. Jonathan Levine and his wife Stacey Levine
Co-founders of GLO Brilliant

Nothing makes me happier than when all my beauty stars align...Dr. Jonathan Levine and his warm and beautiful wife Stacey have been on my radar since my college days. They were then and still are a golden couple.

Dr. Jonathan Levine is a world-renowned NYC aesthetic dentist (with a high profile clientele of actors, models and CEO's) , Professor, inventor and oral care expert and philanthropist.

Stacey Levine is the co-founder of GLO Science and a well known face in the beauty retail industry. In fact, it was on a sleepless night when I was channel surfacing that I saw "Stacey Face", (as we used to call her), demonstrating GLO Brilliant on HSN...naturally I was thrilled! Stacey has also traveled to Africa, where she has taught mom's and their children the importance of oral health care. She has plans to expand this effort globally.

We all also, live in the same town where we have raised our boys. Stacey has great style and we have chatted warmly when she stops into shop at Richards, where I am the Personal Shopper. Only recently did she realize I am also a Beauty Blogger.

Inspiration struck at the same moment...while I was asking if I could try GLO Brilliant she was suggesting I do exactly the same!
