Of course, TINte is still available for sale online, for those without a Dillard’s near!

I’ve previously mentioned one of my guilty pleasures… an addiction to the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. Well, TINte cosmetics will be featured on the September 16th show. Not sure about you, but I can’t WAIT to see this combination of two of my favorite things!

Five Tips For Whiter Teeth… Instantly!

Tips for whiter teeth, Jonathan B. Levine, Celebrity Dentist This blog is dedicated to cosmetics, pure and simple… but no amount of gloss will ever hide stained teeth! Celebrity Aesthetic Dentist Dr. Jonathan B. Levine (whose A-list clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Christy Brinkley and Victoria’s Secret Model Allesandra D’Ambrosio) has offered to share some tips and tricks that will brighten your smile instantly, without expensive procedures, whitening strips or even toothpaste!

1. Whiten While you Chew

Everyone knows that red wine and coffee stain your teeth, but some foods can actually work to whiten your teeth while you eat! The following foods remove stains by exfoliating teeth before the stain molecules have the time to attach deeply to the surface. It is like a skin scrub for your smile. Foods that whiten teeth include: Apples Celery Carrots Spinach Broccoli Lettuce

2. Kiss the Stain Away

Some lip colors can actually make your teeth look significantly whiter (and darker!).

If you have grayish teeth: Avoid: Red Lipsticks with blue tones Try: Cool tone with a brown base. Nude pinks with an almost brownish hue are best.

If you have yellowish teeth: Avoid: Deep, dark shades. Bright Shades. Super shiny glosses Try: Pink shades that have blue undertones. Nudes

3. Go Bronze

Golden and tan skin tones (from a bottle not from harmful UVA/UVB rays of course) not only give you a more toned, healthy appearance but also make your eyes pop and your teeth look brighter!

4. Accessorize

Try wearing shimmering white rhinestone jewelry or gleaming silver to make your teeth appear whiter. Stay away from gold, which exaggerates any yellowish tones in teeth.

5. Clothing

A bright white shirt will only accentuate less-than-white teeth. Choose an off-white or cream-colored shade instead. Reducing the contrast will result in the appearance of a brighter, whiter smile.
