Listerine's Natural Way to Fight Tooth Decay

Hello, everyone! Last Wednesday, I got a chance to participate in Listerine's press launch of their newest product: Listerine Natural Green Tea. The event was held at Umu Restaurant in Dusit Thani Manila and I was quite nervous because I went there alone, without my pangga. I didn't know how to get there as I wasn't familiar with the place. :( More so, I've never been to SM Makati or any other malls within the vicinity despite the fact that I worked in Ayala for a year. Work-bahay lang kasi ako parang noong College days ko na School-bahay lang rin. Actually... kahit nasa lawschool na ako school-bahay pa rin. wahahaha! :P Good thing, my brother advised me on how to get there via LRT-MRT. Anyway, I went there alone hoping to see some familiar faces (those I met in previous events) or to meet other fellow bloggers.

The place was really elegant and cozy. I knew I had to wear something nice and appropriate for a fine dining restaurant. At the same time, I wanted to wear something comfortable and simple because I had to commute. Kumusta naman ang init sa Manila, diba?

And so I wore the Jumper Shorts (Correct me if I'm wrong. :P) that Nani's parents gave me as a gift two Christmases ago. And yes, it was my first time to wear it. I was really waiting for the right occasion to wear something like it. And the event was perfect timing! 

I wore a white cardigan too, because I knew the place
would be fully air conditioned.

Here's my simple makeup that day. 

I went to Umu Restaurant via riding the LRT to Cubao and the MRT to Ayala. I love the ambiance of the place and, through my own research, i learned that the place is known for their authentic Japanese dishes which made me more excited. The people there were very nice and accommodating. I was escorted to the room where the press launch was to be held. I got there early so I was able to chat with some bloggers and Nuffnang and Listerine officers. 

Before the event started, I met some fellow bloggers and got to know them better.

The Fashionista Helen Blas of LUCKYCITRINE

I met Helen who looks so stunning with her skirt. Ako na ang fan ng skirt mo. Sayang wala akong picture non. haha. I saw her while I was browsing (window shopping dahil pulubi mode) at Forever 21, SM Makati before heading to Dusit. So the first thing I told her was, "Parang nakita kita sa Forever 21. Tandang-tanda kita kasi sobrang nagandahan ako sa skirt mo!" Tas ayon, keribels lang. We talked as if it wasn't our first time to meet each other.

The ever so famous Krissy of KRISSYFIED

Then I also met Krissy. When I saw her enter the room, I got a little nervous because I follow her blog and I know she's famous in the blogging community. However, she was very nice and approachable that we got along well. :) She was so kind she even invited me to ride the MRT with her on our way home. (In the end, she tagged me along with her friend Rovie who got a car. They're surprisingly super nice.)  

The beautiful prego-mom Cai of APPLESANDDUMPLINGS

I also met Cai who is 7 months pregnant with her second child. She's blooming even when she's pregnant. Take note, she's not wearing any makeup when she attended the event. Who said pregnant women can't look great without makeup?

Krissy's Bling bling. :P

Now, I just want to share with you the new breakthrough product from Listerine: Natural Green Tea Mouthwash. No wonder they held it in a Japanese restaurant, which actually served us with green tea. This new product aims to fight tooth decay with their two main ingredients: Green tea and Fluoride. According to their research, 92.4% of Filipinos have tooth decay. This makes it the no. 1 oral problem in the country. 

If you think brushing your teeth twice a day is enough, you're wrong. I was wrong. Brushing teeth alone cleans only 25% of the mouth which means it can still lead to tooth decay and other oral problems. I'm not a mouthwash user, to be honest. But the facts laid down to us during the press launch made me want to use a mouthwash. 

So what makes Listerine Natural Green Tea a breakthrough? Well, first, it contains natural green tea that is proven effective in preventing cavity. Green tea has (1) catechins which inhibit cavity-causing bacteria; (2) polyphenol which has anti-cavity and anti-plaque effects; (3) tannins which prevent buildup of plaque; and (4) fluoride which strengthens teeth enamel. 

Second, this new mouthwash contains twice more fluoride. It is intended to remineralize, resist and reverse tooth decay. Hence, not only does it kill 99.9% germs in your mouth, it also shields the teeth from cavity and helps strengthen teeth for a healthier smile. 

We were given free bottles of this product to try out. I'm going to give one big bottle to Pangga lablab because I know he loves mouthwash products. :P I'm very grateful that Nuffnang invited me to attend this press launch. It's a great experience. :)




Listerine Natural Green Tea is already available in the market. I read in an article that it retails for Php 70.25 (80ml) and Php 166.50 (250ml). If you're not a mouthwash user, try it out. But if you are, you might want to try this new variant for extra teeth protection. More than we want to be bad-breath free, we also love to smile and show off our healthy teeth. :)

After the presentation, we had dinner and we were served sashimi and tempura. I don't know the names of other dishes but if you do, just let me know.

Tofu something... :P 

My dad is going to be jealous... hehe He loves raw fish.

GREEN TEA ICE CREAM!!!! 

I left the event with Krissy and Rovie of THEBARGAINDOLL. I want to thank these girls for giving me a ride to SM North. :P It was fun hanging out with them. Overall, it was a great event and a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow bloggers.

I can't wait to see Pangga so he can try the LisTEArine too. 

Have a lovely day!
