Well, this is going to be a pretty short review because.. OMG this stuff is absolutely HORRID.. RANCID.. DISGUSTING.. sorry, I got a bit carried away there.. let me back up a bit... I bought the GoSMILE starter kit + maintenance kit back in August and to bump up to the free shipping I tacked on 2 (yes, two, idiot that I am) of these for DH and moi to try (they sounded good) .
It was truely a case of a fool and their money parted  and perhaps I should have gone to the Sephora site first to read the ingredients  ... but lets just move along to the taste. It is an EXTREMELY sickly-sweet taste that is .. well, I don't know WHAT it is supposed to taste like - OK, well, the website says Citrus-mint... I guess it is a bit citrusy but in no way minty.. just this horrible sweetness (like a strong artificial sweetner aftertaste) that is just not the kind of taste one wants floating around in their mouth. Granted it does effectively remove the taste of anything else that may have been lingering so it does deserve a point for effectiveness on that front. 
I am hoping that I can undo the spray bottle and fill with a homemade peppermint oil-based mist as the little case is very cute! Grr.. CA$31 (well, $26.35 after member discount) each wasted wasted wasted.  It is so unusual for me to totally rag on any product but this would have to be the ONE thing I would tell anyone and everyone to never purchase.

PS for the record, I loved the GoSMILE whitening products. It is just this one that is terrible (but makes me scared to even think of trying their toothpastes). |
