Over the last few years, I've become more and more insecure about the shade of my teeth. In the age of social media, there are selfies taken from all angles and never-ending group photo-ops. I couldn't help noticing my teeth weren't as bright as the pearly whites I'd see while scrolling through my Insta feed - I tried brushing with whitening toothpaste, but that didn't seem to do the trick.

As time went on, I started to notice all my friends had amazingly white teeth. I couldn't help but feel less confident with my smile. Eventually, I stopped smiling in photos. I even felt self-conscious around my colleagues. One day, when hanging out with one of my white-toothed friends, I decided enough was enough - it was time to do something about it. I asked one of them, "How do you get your teeth so white? What's your secret?"

Turns out her secret was the ARC Blue Light Teeth Whitening Kit. I wasn't entirely convinced, as I've always been skeptical about at-home teeth whitening treatments. But they offer a 60-day money-back guarantee and free shipping, so I thought I would give it a try.

I took the plunge and ordered a box. When it arrived, I was immediately drawn to the holographic packaging. Inside the pretty box was their Blue Light Device and 14 teeth whitening treatments (28 daily strips for both top and bottom teeth).The entire process is so easy. Every day, you place the strips on your teeth for 30 minutes. For the last 5 minutes, you add the blue light to really get out those stubborn stains.

My teeth can be sensitive, so I worried that the treatment might hurt. I was surprised that the strips only caused a slight tingling sensation - nothing unbearable. The strips are stretchy and easily fit to your teeth. They don't slip or move throughout the whole 30 minutes.

The best part is, I can apply makeup, take a phone call, and even drink water without them budging. The blue light beeps when the treatment is finished, so I don't have to check the clock. The treatment perfectly agrees with my morning routine, ideal for someone like me who has a busy schedule.

Three days into the treatment, I could already see results! At the end of the first week, there was a huge difference in the color of my teeth. After finishing the full 14-day treatment, my teeth were completely white, gleaming, and stain-free. My friends and colleagues have been commenting on my new, bright smile. Everyone is shocked when they discover that I use an at-home kit - they assumed I'd gone to a professional! The change in my confidence is undeniable. I'm smiling much more and I even feel comfortable experimenting with orange-toned lip-sticks! I never would've tried that before. With such great results, I was naturally concerned about how long it would last. I'm delighted that ARC also has a product to help sustain my new look - I ordered an ARC Smile Amplifier Kit for when I need a touch-up.

The ARC Blue Light Teeth Whitening Kitis a game-changer for anyone who wants a more radiant smile. Now, when I'm caught in a photograph, even if my outfit is a mess, I know my smile is amazing. I highly recommend this for busy professionals who have limited time for their beauty routine!
