I had the chance to chat over Skype with MICHELLE PHAN! Yup, THE Michelle Phan who's a Makeup Guru on Youtube! Why? Because I was told that she discovered something that can prettify people and it's not even makeup!

Everyone who knows me personally knew how much I love to smile! I don't say "Keep Smilin', Stay Happy" for nothing! I do have tiny set of teeth! So tiny that my dentist thought it was my original kid's teeth! This tiny set of teeth came a long way, I've smiled to a lot of people and I did manage to make some people feel good and comfortable! So taking care of my only set of teeth is very important for me that I make sure to use the right kind of toothpaste!
I have used quite a number, most major toothpaste brands out there, I've given them a try! When Carla contacted a couple of us Beauty Bloggers to talk about this new brand of toothpaste Michelle Phan discovered, I gave it a yes to talk to her and ask about it!
Michelle was sent with the new Close Up White Now toothpaste from Unilever Philippines. She never heard about the brand as they don't have it in the States. She thought it would just be "another whitening toothpaste"! But after first usage, she got impressed!
Aside from the toothpaste, I got into details about her personal life as well (It was a childhood dream of mine to become a reporter!) *laughs* I learned that she wants to visit Boracay as her boyfriend loves the place! I also learned that she's super busy since her Lancome opportunity that she does not have the time to really relax! She came down with a Chicken Pox by the way when we had a chat with her that's why we weren't able to do a video call! It was all good though, she's nice and down to earth!
Ok, back to the toothpaste! How do I find the toothpaste that Michelle Phan has been raving about?

AMW says ---
Pros
- The gel-like texture with blue foam is quite unique
- Has a slight minty fresh feel after brushing.
- Teeth has a very clean feel
- Teeth looks a tiny bit whiter after 3 days of usage (illusion of whiter teeth) (morning and night).
- Has fluoride which also strengthens and protects the teeth.
- Price is affordable for a whitening toothpaste.
Cons
- For those who want the really strong minty taste, this toothpaste isn't the one!
- I have a feeling this whitening effect is not permanent though, will report back
- Thanks to reader Anna for this, it does stain my toothbrush!
Overall
The Close Up White Now toothpaste is actually considered a makeup for your set of teeth! I can actually see it's whitening effect! Your teeth of course is not magically whitened in a short span of time, from constant research, I've learned that Close Up White Now's blue foam formulation forms a blue veil on the enamel, thus reducing the appearance of yellowness of the teeth and creating an optical effect of whiter set of teeth! Indeed acts like a true makeup!
On the other hand, it's prolong usage gives a positive result of a true whiter teeth! Not the "I-have-wear-shades-because-your-teeth-are-too-bright" but it's a nice "clean" look that obviously makes a difference after constant usage.
Tips
- For children, use with supervision of an adult! Use only a pea size amount.
- Do not swallow toothpaste, always rinse and spit out after use.
- If you have weak or sensitive gum, alternate the usage of this toothpaste with another variant for sensitive gum and teeth!
- Never be in a hurry when brushing your teeth. Brush all areas of your teeth including the gum and tongue.
- Brush with light pressure, do not hurt your gum and teeth by brushing too hard.
Will I repurchase?
Yes!
To whom do I recommend this to?
Close Up suggests this toothpaste to be targeted on Female market with age range of 20-30. In my opinion this works for both male and female who likes to have whiter teeth even from the 20s up to their senior!
Where to purchase and how much?
Php65.00 (approx $1.50) for 100g available at Supermarkets, Department Stores and Drugstores locally (Philippines).
Well, my teeth aren't that yellow to start with,
but it obviously helps to flash a brighter smile!
(AMW after 1 week of Close Up usage)
Have you seen this toothpaste around?
I'm actually on Pepsodent for a while and it's nice to use this for a change!
After this review, I may alternate my Pepsodent and this Close Up White Now!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
