A last minute (and much needed) date night appeared on my calendar last week--the perfect chance to test out the newest ground-breaking addition to the Crest 3D White collection--Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips.

Here's how I looked before I popped in the strips. Not bad, but I freely admit not perfect. I drink a TON of iced tea, love red wine and dark chocolate. Though I use a whitening toothpaste, I still think I needed a boost for my romantic night out at one of our favorite spots (Grocery--a restaurant in Brooklyn).

Since the product was billed as a last-minute solution I jumped at the chance. I quickly scanned the directions.

• Don't brush your teeth before applying
• Open pouch and handle with dry hands
• Start with lower strip first--align straight and press on gently with your clean hands--hold for 2-3 seconds
• Fold notched side over the back of your teeth
• Repeat with top row.
• Let the magic happen.

They were idiot-proof to place on my teeth. I managed to have this in while taking a conference call (no lisping--they don't slide around). They are adhered in this bottom photo. Crest calls it "Advanced Seal Technology" I call it effective.

Come back in a few weeks and check out what happened after two hours...
