Shoppers ditch dentist teeth whitening for 'instant' €2 home kit
A stained, dull smile from years of enjoying black coffees, red wine, tobacco and other indulgences in life can often leave people with a dampened confidence - especially when it comes to photos. But shoppers are lauding praise on an at home teeth whitening kit from SmilePro that has not only transformed their confidence and their smile, but it's currently on sale with 50% off.
The Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit from SmilePro usually retails at €111 - but it's currently massively reduced to €55.50 for a 30 day treatment, making it less than €2 per treatment, per kit. The SmilePro kit includes a Rechargeable & Water-Resistant LED Accelerator Light, three teeth whitening pens (enough for 30 treatments), a battery charger, professional teeth shade guide and step-by-step instructions.
As described by the brand, the kit's "innovative whitening light and dental grade formula doesn't only remove the deepest stains but also leaves your mouth feeling fresh and prevents new stains from setting." Once the desired shade of white has been achieved following the treatment, the maintaining a white smile only requires one treatment every two weeks.

The brand also claims the kit will help improve dental health by helping remove plaque, delivering improved results in 'one use' - great for last minute touch-ups ahead of weddings and other social events. The whitening process requires 10 minutes a day for seven days and is allegedly painless as it uses blue-light LED technology that 'is neither painful nor causes sensitivity to your teeth'.
Using dual red light and blue light LEDs for whitening, the kit uses blue light to 'accelerate the whitening formula to lift deep stains caused by coffee, wine, soda, and smoking', while the red light supports gum health, targets inflammation, and kills bad-breath-causing bacteria.
The process is relatively simple to follow too - apply the formula (which is enamel safe) to teeth, insert the brand's mouth tray and activate the LED light. Once the ten minutes is up, the light can be removed and the day can continue.
SmilePro's Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit uses dual red and blue LED lights to help shoppers get advanced whitening in as little as seven days.
However, if the mouthpiece and LED light process seems a bit much, there are alternative products on the market that deliver impressive results with strips and powders. For example, MySweetSmile's award-winning powder has been known to deliver red-carpet worthy smiles in just a few weeks by way of brushing (just like your normal dental routine). Meanwhile, Dr Dent's Professional Teeth Whitening Strips (42 Strips) costs €23.97 on sale at Amazon and has been praised by shoppers for helping remove years of built up coffee, wine and nicotine stains. With a 4.9 star rating, it's a go-to for many shoppers.
SmilePro's kit allows those looking to achieve a more dazzling smile to boost the brightness of their teeth by up to eight shades whiter thanks to its kit having ' 3x more activator lights'. And the before and after pictures show some impressive results after just a number of days.
One happy SmilePro fan left a five star review of the kit and said: "This whitening product was referred to me by a friend who I admire because of her very white teeth and she shared to me this secret. I had a bad coloured teeth for so many years and dental cleaning can't do anything about it that is why I am so grateful that I have tried this. I started with shade 9 and down to shade 3 for just 7 days. This product really works and worth it if you want to boost your confidence real quick."
A second shopper raved: "Amazing product! Noticed instant results on the first use! Have recommended to all my friends and have had comments about how white my teeth look! Just about to order my second pack!"
The kit has caused people to ditch dental whitening appointments in favour of this brand as one person reflected: "Best teeth whitening treatment out of others. I have been to dentist few times for whitening treatment. Seriously, even dentist could not make my teeth white. However, I used Smile Pro recently after saw people reviews. Take the gamble, now my teeth are white. Highly recommend and would purchase from Smile pro!!! Thanks guys! +A."
"I wanted to try this product before paying hundreds at the dentist for in chair whitening. I was so surprised at my results just after 5 days," shared another user, who added: "I have a crown that is really light so I wanted to get my other teeth close to the same colour, I am definitely on my way to that!"
Although not everyone was quite so impressed as one shopper left a four star review which read: "It worked well to whiten my teeth but it didn't remove all of the staining."
Meanwhile, another shopper didn't see results as fast as others and said: "It works eventually. Whilst I expected faster results my teeth are now definitely whiter. It took to the middle of the second pen and around 2/3 weeks before I saw results."
Although for most people, the SmilePro Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit proved to be 'Better than expected'. It's available online here.

Next sandals hailed as 'very comfortable' with shoppers buying multiple pairs
Next customers are smitten with a chic €61.50 pair of sandals, which have enticed customers to repeatedly come back for more. The Lipsy Black Standard Fit Elastic Low Wedge Espadrille Sandals have been dubbed "very comfortable" by satisfied shoppers. The range includes standard, wide and extra wide fits, with a variety of colour choices, though availability may vary by size. Some shoppers were so taken with the stylish sandals that they've bought them multiple times, as one customer shared: "I have purchased these 3 times as I absolutely love them." However, sizing issues were mentioned by other purchasers, hence it's advised to check out reviews thoroughly before buying, reports the Mirror. Before taking the plunge on Next's sought-after sandals, it might be wise to peruse through the array of critiques for the Lipsy Black Standard Fit Elastic Low Wedge Espadrille Sandals. One particularly customer enthused about the fit: "Good fit true to size, very comfortable great to walk in. Wore them for my flight to Barbados to join a cruise and had them on over 12 hours so very pleased with them." Another fan gushed: "Some of the most comfortable wedges ever worn!! Love them and now have in three different colours!" Another shopper added: "I bought the navy Lipsy sandals and they are so comfortable to wear, I decided to get the nude ones as they will go with any outfit. Great price too." On the other hand, a customer was unimpressed, remarking: "Compete rubbish for the money. Sent them back." Another shopper observed: "I bought these sandals last year in a couple of colours. They go really nice with jeans, and are really comfortable. The quality of this pair doesn't seem as sturdy. I don't think they are going to last as long." Regarding sizing issues, one buyer expressed disappointment: "I was I bit disappointed with these. One of the shoes fit better than the other which feels a bit loose." When it came to the wide-fit option, views were mixed. An elated customer commented: "Such lovely comfortable sandals with a lightweight wedge heel. Being elasticated at front they don't hurt your feet. Quite expensive but worth it for comfort." Echoing the praise, another enthusiast noted: "I have purchased these 3 times as I absolutely love them. Very comfortable and look lovely. Good fit. Excellent delivery service." However, someone else had some constructive criticism about the design: "So pleased to find wide foot sandals with a decent wedge heel." One buyer noted a minor issue, saying: "My only criticism is that there could be slightly more padding under the foot, however I don't intend doing long treks in them so they'll be fine for what I'll be using them for. Bought two pairs one black one navy, size 5 UK, foot is a little long there's a bit of a gap at the heel." A different shopper remarked on the fit: "Perhaps I shouldn't have ordered wide fit, although I usually need these, but the straps were too loose and I had to return these sandals." On the flip side, another satisfied customer shared their positive experience: "I bought a pair last year they were so comfy I brought another pair but in a different colour. Highly recommend especially if you have wide feet."

I hate my rough feet so tried three budget products to get them soft and flip flop ready – a £1.99 buy worked wonders
SOME people can make thousands of pounds selling pictures of their feet on the Internet. But I'm pretty sure you'd pay me NOT to see mine - they're horrible. Advertisement 7 I'm pretty sure you'd pay me not to look at my feet - they're that horrible Credit: Getty 7 So I tried 4 different products to see if they could help get rid of my dry skin Credit: supplied I've never particularly liked feet, especially my own, after years of battling verrucas and ingrown toenails have left them looking less than pretty. However, with the sun coming out for summer, the likelihood is that I'll be wearing sandals at least for a few days. So I wanted to see if there was any budget-friendly products that could possibly help get my dry tootsies - complete with cracked, rough heels - looking better, if only slightly. I decided to try three different options over three different nights, to see which one had an immediate noticeable effect, and which one is definitely not worth buying. Advertisement Read more Feet stories Cream machine It's most common to apply foot cream before bed, as you don't end up slipping and sliding everywhere if you need a wee in the middle of the night. But creams designed to help reduce rough, cracked skin are often so thick that they take forever to sink in. That wasn't the case with Boots' foot cream. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous I lathered it on about 10 minutes before getting under the covers, to try and give it enough absorbing time. Woman's feet turn yellow after stress triggers debilitating condition But as it was, I didn't need to leave it that long - as it had fully absorbed after about three or four minutes. The cream also smells divine, thanks to ingredients including mint, lavender and marshmallow, and feels cooling and soothing when it's applied. I didn't hold out a huge amount of hope for the cream to work miracles overnight, so was chuffed when I woke up the next morning to see a difference. Advertisement The skin felt softer, while the cracking appeared to have healed a little - and felt more comfortable to walk on. The cream is also purse friendly, at just £4.50 for a decent sized tub that looks like it will last at least a few months. Overall I was really impressed, and will definitely repurchase in the future. Rating : 4.5/5 Advertisement How to keep your feet in good condition Here's some tips and tricks to keep your feet in good conditio Soak Start your at-home pedicure by soaking your feet by filling a washing-up-sized bowl with warm water, add a handful of Epsom salts and around a cup of white, or apple cider, vinegar. Add a couple of drops of essential oil, such as eucalyptus or lavender, to make the soak smell heavenly. Scrub Mix two or three spoonfuls of brown sugar with a tablespoon of oil to make your own foot scrub. You can use olive oil or coconut oil. Massage the scrub into your feet for a few minutes and wash off with warm water. Soften Make sure your feet are left silky smooth by using a moisturiser. You can also make a foot mask by mashing up a banana with a sprinkle of oats. Mix in a tablespoon of moisturising honey and another spoon of olive oil. Coat your feet in the mask, wrap in cling film, and let the ingredients work their magic for at least 15 minutes. Scrub a dub dub Another way of trying to get rid of dry skin is by using a scrub before applying any cream. So I tried out the Boots' Sea Minerals and Mint exfoliating scrub before slathering my feet in the Boots' Cracked Heel balm. 7 I'm really not a fan of my feet - and they're definitely NOT summer ready Credit: supplied Advertisement 7 My heels looked rough and cracked before trying out the products Credit: supplied 7 While the right still looked pretty cracked, it seemed like it had worked on the left Credit: supplied Once again, the cream smelt incredible, and made me feet feel all fresh and clean once I'd used it. However, it didn't feel abrasive enough to get rid of dry patches - and seemed more like a face scrub than a foot one. Advertisement I think it would be better if the exfoliating bits in the scrub were rougher, to try and really get into the dryness and the root of the problem. After using the scrub, I went in with the Cracked Heel Balm. This £4.99 product claims to make a visible difference in just one use. So I was hopeful I'd see a change the morning after using it. Advertisement The balm itself is very thick, and leaves hands feeling greasy once applied. It also took a long time to sink in, but felt like it was doing something when it did. And when I checked the next morning, one foot seemed to respond to the balm better than the other. The left foot, which isn't as bad as the right, looked smooth, but the right one still looked cracked and rough. Advertisement I think this is a product that will work well over time - as miracles don't happen overnight! Rating : 3/5 Sock it The concept of popping socks on after a foot treatment isn't a new one - but the idea of these clever little footpacks is. Advertisement The Superdrug socks come in different scents, and I chose to try the Watermelon one. 7 There are lots of different scent options in Superdrug's Pampering Foot Socks, but I tried the watermelon one Credit: supplied 7 Not only did it smell amazing - and not too sweet - but it left my feet feeling soft and silky Credit: supplied Inside the pouch is two plastic 'socks', pumped full of product, and you have to cut the top off each of them before popping them on. Advertisement I can't say I enjoyed the sensation of putting my foot into the sock itself, but it soon passed. I kept them on for 20 minutes, before taking them off to see the results. The pack instructs you to rub the leftover product into your feet and lower legs, before throwing away the used socks themselves. And after doing so, my feet definitely felt softer - without feeling sticky or greasy. Advertisement I do like the fact you can pick up one of these packs like you would a face mask for a girl's night in, but obviously there are downsides given that they're one-use only and not particularly environmentally friendly.

The unique formulation is enriched with our exclusive root-growth complex that works to rejuvenate and strengthen hair. I'm a beauty fan but save money in Boots by switching to six bargain buys - the 75p shampoo and conditioner is a must With a sulphate-free formula, this product ensures your hair retains its natural moisture balance, promoting healthier, shinier, and more resilient strands.

Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Other customers shared their experiences with the product in the Boots review section. "I like it, [it has] pleasant, non-chemical scent, does not strip hair nor make it greasy," wrote one shopper. "This shampoo is the best I've ever used. My hairline has changed for the better! It's also probably the cheapest I've used. Great product!" said another buyer. "I was delighted to find this in Boots at a very reasonable price so bought the shampoo and conditioner. Smells lovely, lathers well, I will definitely buy this again," commented a third person. "Great shampoo, very good [for] sensitive scalps, leaves hair clean and healthy-feeling without weighing it down," said another Boots customer. 2 Nature Spell's Growth Complex Shampoo is available for just £8.49 from Boots Credit: Supplied
