August 2008

Summer’s shiny lip glosses, sparkly bronzers and glittery eye shadows are getting to be as old as John McCain. Straight from the runways, matte makeup is the new direction going into fall. So ditch the glitz and trade up to the Clinique Fall 2008 Modern...

Which girl wouldn't do a Betsey Johnson-esque cartwheel for white teeth? According to the New York Times, more dentists are jumping into the cosmetic arena and offering products that even granny would be eager to try. Over the weekend, I went to Oshkosh, WI (don't ask!) for an airshow because hubby is a pilot. I saw acrobatics in the air that basically would have put Cirque du Soleil to shame. But everyone...everyone complimented my white teeth. The accolades really go to the hip, silver-coated tube I was recently sent to review: Dr. Pia Lieb's SexySmile. You must have heard about it...somewhere between sipping Bordeaux at a Hamptons socials or prepping for that cute boy to kiss you. SexySmile has a tooth whitener on one end and a thick gloss on the other. I loved the compact tube that is so purse friendly and as shiny as an astronaut's spacesuit. The tooth whitener is applied through a spongy brush and contains an innovative polymer complex that removes those dreaded caffeine stains (yep, can't resist a jolt of joes!) and also protects the tooth enamel like a valiant Jedi Knight.
