Ora² polish paste review

I tried out the Ora² polish paste last night before I went to bed.

It holds 17g worth of product and costs $8.95. Ouch. As I've mentioned before, watsons is having a promotion for this now so I got a free 25g Ora² toothpaste free too :D




Well, I thought that it would have grains or rough beads inside it so it can "polish" your teeth. You know, like the green gunk your dentist sticks the machine into before proceeding to polish your teeth, which feels sandy and tastes sweet haha. Or like the purple Gopal powder thing that Indians use to make their teeth white.

So imagine my surprise when I saw that it was white and it didn't have any beads/grains in it. It looked more like some type of face cream actually lol. It has a herbal taste and is rather smooth.

According to the instructions, its for weekly use and you're supposed to squeeze a pea-sized drop. Which is rather hard to do on a toothbrush haha and I forgot to read the instructions before squeezing it out so I squeezed out a lot.



They didn't say whether to use it in place of toothpaste or anything, so I used it after using toothpaste.

After I used it, honestly, my teeth did not look any whiter. Maybe it must be used a few times to see a difference, or maybe it was because I don't consume coffee, red wine or smoke and I haven't drank tea for well over 2 months ever since my A levels ended, as the polish paste claims to to remove stains from coffee, tea, smoking and red wine.

Well, I'm going to continue using it though. Its $8.95 for a 17g tube!
So I guess its a nay for me but it may work for those who drink coffee regularly. For those who do, please comment and tell me whether it works for you.

Thanks! :D

I was watching 我的野蛮师姐 on tv today and the movie featured these songs. After watching it I totally cried. It was so touching and the plot is so unpredictable. And I realised that it was the prequel to My Sassy Girl （我的野蛮女友）. Jeon Ji Hyun/Gianna Jun acts in both. She look so natural and pretty in there.

Lastly I'll end it off with Tears by X-Japan and Knocking on Heaven's Door by Avril Lavigne :)

Traipsed to watsons and saw that the canmake cream blushes are here! The retail price is $17.90. There are 6 colours available. Fujii Lena looks super cute btw! :D I'm a huge fan of hers.




Here's the brochure that tells you how to use it too:



I know this has already been around for sometime but I'm still going to post this up anyway. Maybelline lipbalm retails at $4.90 and is available in all major departmental stores as well.




The Za lipsticks and foundations in new pink boxes.


The people at watsons have also brought in a new japanese oral care brand called Ora². It's supposed to remove stains from teeth due to coffee, tea, red wine etc. All items from the Ora² STAIN CLEAR series are carried by watsons, including the Ora² STAIN CLEAR toothpaste, Ora² STAIN CLEAR Wash and coat and Ora² STAIN CLEAR polish paste etc.




The Ora² STAIN CLEAR toothpaste (140g, flavour: Natural Mint & Fresh Bouquet)whitens teeth to its original state by gently removing stains accumulated from tea, coffee, red wine and smoking.

Ora² STAIN CLEAR Wash and coat (450ml mouth wash, flavour: fresh bouquet) prevents teeth from stain accumulation caused by tea,coffee,red wine and smoking just by rinsing the mouth. Contains cleaning agent SLS to wash away sources of stains on teeth surface and stain control agent to coat the surface of the teeth and prevent stain accumulation.

Ora² STAIN CLEAR polish paste (17g) is for concentrated care for whitening teeth to its original state by removing stubborn stains accumulated from tea, coffee, wine and smoking. Contains large amount of High Cleaning Silica that removes stubborn stains accumulated on teeth surface. For weekly care.

This information is from the brochure. It also says on the brochure that it is the No.1 Whitening Oral Care Brand in Japan. I'm lemming this! So wanna get haha cos my teeth aren't exactly the whitest around. :D

Regretting that I didn't check the price. I after DHC arrived in Singapore I wanted to get it but the cleansing oil is a whopping $42.90 (jaw drops) and its moisturiser cost $69+! It's even more expensive than a Shiseido moisturiser which retails at $67. So I'm waiting to get my pay now...
