We try before you buy: Mail’s beauty writer CLAIRE COLEMAN puts flavoured toothpastes to the test

Gorgeous, with a hint of orange. (Marvis Orange Blossom Bloom, harveynichols.com). 5/5

Eco-friendlier packaging, smells and tastes like a cinnamon bun. (Woobamboo Sweet Cinammon, mahinaturals.com). 4/5

Curious putty shade, but peppermint, rosemary and eucalyptus leave you feeling fresh. (A.Vogel Echinacea, avogel.co.uk). 4/5

Tastes fruity — no boozy gin hit, which is a good thing! (Curaprox Be You Challenger Gin & Tonic, curaprox.co.uk). 3/5

Sounds and looks horrible, but it worked. (Weleda Salt Toothpaste, hollandandbarrett.com). 3/5

Smells like suncream and it left a filmy coating (White Glo Coconut Oil Shine, boots.com). 2/5

Part of a duo of morning and evening toothpastes, this was almost sickly. (Ecodenta Morning & Nights, hollandandbarrett.com). 1/5

Flavours were too subtle and it tasted bitter. (Le Bon Rhythm is Love, Ylang Ylang, Yuzu & Mint, net-a-porter). 1/5
