Lush had their after Christmas sale and besides the Bath Bombs I managed to get this one as well. I've always flirted with the idea of making my own toothpaste, but after a disastrous incident with baking soda and coconut oil, I've decided to go a different route. That led to Lush's Dirty Toothy Tabs that you can get for $3.95.
Tada! In a tiny package that holds about 40 tabs, I thought that it could be a natural way to keep my tea and coffee drinking teeth, pearly white.
I love that Lush always has a date and a face on their packaging. Thanks Stuart. Now I realize that a tube of toothpaste cost ~$3 and I could get a whole lot more brushing out of it but I thought that this would be a good way of trying something new. Dirty was supposed to have a Pepperminty taste but it didn't. It clearly had a cosmeticy taste that left me rinsing my mouth out for a while. After what I thought was a good gargling, I would sit down and right after that I would once again have that weird taste and smell left in my mouth. So this had me gargling in front of the sink for a damn long time. I drank a lot of sink water...a lot.
See how deceptively small it is? It foams up quite a a bit but is chalky and leaves a weird taste in my mouth. It neither kept my teeth white nor feeling minty fresh. I think that this is a big miss for me and definitely wouldn't repurchase. For now, I'll just stick with sprinkling my toothpaste with baking soda.
Oh the Rasmalai was a big miss. Do you know what the worst part is? I had it made, packaged but forgot to bring it with me. Now I have to eat all of those sweet milky paneer all by myself. Oh the horror.
