Fabulous Fedora Fashion Trend: The Boyfriend Look

There's a fashion frenzy at the moment. The fedora is back big time!! This is the fashion accessory for summer 2009!!

Lightweight fedoras for women, in fabric like straw and linen, are all over the place. From Hollywood to your neighborhood, now is the time to hide from the strong rays of the sun, and to also sport a classic, cool, boyfriend look.

Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Reese Witherspoon, are just a few of the famous faces wearing fabulous fedoras. And just remember, when you're donning a hat, you won't be having a bad hair day-- at least no one will be able to tell.

Fedoras comes in all kinds of styles, fabrics, and weights, but for the hot summer days ahead, we would suggest either a straw or linen.

And since we have all been seeing some tough economic times these days, we searched for a couple of handsome fedoras that won't break your budget.

1. Linen Fedora Hat- Tan ($17.99, Amazon.com). One size fits most. A cool and breathable hat. Comes in several delicious shades.

How To Get Fab Toned Arms Like Cameron Diaz

We like Cameron Diaz, not only for her fine acting abilities and goofy laugh, but for her unique fashion sense and healthy, slender body.

Today, we are looking at her fab, toned arms. And yes, you can get these buff arms with a little exercise and a couple of small weights or dumbbells.

There is no way around it. You must work out. Cameron Diaz will turn 37-years-old in August. And she's still rockin' these fab, toned arms.

Believe it or not, this is a simple exercise routine. And you can get the 3-step plan right from the mouth of her trainer, Teddy Bass. He gave out her toning tips to People magazine.

Bass' three-step arm workout for Cameron Diaz:
Reverse flies (15-20 reps done by stepping into a lunge and raising arms parallel to shoulders), Tricep kickbacks (10 reps per arm done in a lunge, leaning forward with a flat back and extending weights behind close to the elbows)
And 15-20 reps of Bicep curls.

Sure, it takes time to get your arms buff like Cameron's, but you will start seeing results rather quickly, says Teddy Bass.

"Arms shape up faster than any other body part. You'll see changes after two to three weeks!"

Don't Need To Be On TV To Get Flawless Skin With HD Microfinish

HD. High Definition TV. We all know what that means: flawless pictures, ultra-smooth surfaces, every teeny detail exposed........and every woman's nightmare when it comes to skin...up close and personal.

Oh my!! Every teensy imperfection is magnified to the nth degree when it comes to digital imagery.

But thank the world for brilliant makeup companies like Make Up For Ever. Their newest baby is the HD Microfinish Powder ($30, http://www.sephora.com/).

Makeup artists everywhere are talking about this featherweight powder. So very light, and yet it sets makeup beautifully and keeps your face shine-free for hours and hours.

HD Microfinish is offered in one universal shade—which looks white in the jar, but goes on transparent. The magic is in the spherical micro-beads that give skin a matte, velvety "soft focus" effect. We love that, and don't worry, this colorless powder will not change the color of your foundation.

Just think of HD Microfinish Powder as the very last step in your daily makeup routine. Ready, set, and go!

Aquaphor Cheap Nighttime Eye Cream Says NYC Derm

We're all trying to get our beauty's worth, each time we spend money on treatments that promise to deliver.

Promises that equal smoother skin, smaller pores, acne-free complexion, wrinkles zapped, and so on.

And when these beauty products don't exactly live up to the hype, the frustration deepens. And when you've shelled out a lot of $$$ to look pretty, well, that really hurts.

Today we are looking at a simple jar of Aquaphor Healing Ointment ($8.99, 3.5 oz., drugstores everywhere).

On the jar it reads: 'Advanced Therapy for dry, cracked, or irritated skin. Clinically proven to restore smooth, healthy skin.'

And according to New York City Dermatologist Laurie Polis (see photo), this little jar does something else-----it acts a a superb nighttime eye cream.

Laurie Polis told In Style Magazine that Aquaphor Healing Ointment does its best work when you've retired for the night, which is actually the best time to treat your skin.

"It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well," Laurie Polis says. And she swears by this product.

Who is Laurie Polis? She is a celebrity dermatologist. And her client list is quite impressive-----Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Drew Barrymore, Kate Moss, and even Mel Gibson.

Many of you have already used Aquaphor Healing Ointment for years on dry, cracked heels, on sunburns, chapped lips, fresh tattoos, newly shaven legs, and the list goes on.

The only advice we will give you: While using the product around the eyes, be careful when applying. You don't want to get the ointment in the eyes.

The 'It' Necklace From Nicole's House Of Harlow Jewelry

Okay, we really love, love, love this necklace from the Nicole Richie 'House of Harlow 1960' Jewelry company.

This is the Hollywood 'It' necklace, and it's a stunner!

Made from 14KT Gold-Plated Palladium, the necklace features striking black resin geometric charms held together by little gold shingles.

And you can pick up this gorgeous House of Harlow jewelry ($125) at stores like Kitson's Boutique, and online--http://tiny.cc/R0ae0. Oops, currently on back-order there. Or you can order it at The Trend Boutique, too, ($135) and it will ship mid-July, if you can wait.
http://www.shopthetrendboutique.com/hoofha1914go24.html

We are seeing this Nicole Richie necklace just about everywhere, gracing the necks of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Monet Mazur, and many more Hollywood lovelies.



When you're wearing a statement piece of jewelry like this one, you don't need much else to make your outfit sparkle.

Nicole Richie also sells this pretty necklace in red geometric charms with silver shingles. Equally as alluring.

Just take a look at House Of Harlow 1960 Jewelry. We think Nicole Richie has excellent taste. Her pieces are unique, striking, and affordable.

How To Get Sweat-Free Feet In Chic Summer Soles

Our feet go through so much action on a daily basis. And when it's hot and muggy outside, well, even celebrity feet can sweat and yes, even smell.

But there is a chic solution. All you do is peel, stick, and stay dry. They are uber-trendy. And they're called Summer Soles. And simply put, these are removable liners. And Summer Soles come in a wide variety of colors and fabrics and even scents, all to keep your feet happy and sweat-free.

And at the same time, Summer Soles keep the insides of all your favorite shoes, looking new.

The science is not complicated here. Summer Soles are a super concept, because these removable liners provide a soft, dry barrier between feet and the shoe bed, so your feet stay dry. And they really do work!

And if you worried about fitting a pair inside your favorite sandals, shoes, or boots, relax. It's easier than you might think. Here's what the folks at http://www.summersoles.com/ say:

One size fits most. Usually minor trimming is necessary to fit to your shoe. We carry some colors in wide width, too. Summer Soles fit women's shoe sizes 5-11, and men's sizes 7-12.

For all shoe styles---Sandals, pumps, mules, flats - but just the dressy kind, with leather or shiny synthetic soles. NOT for spongy flip flops or fabric- bottomed styles like Birkenstocks. The light sticky back just can't grip fabric. Though we hear they're fabulous for going barefoot in Canvas Keds.


And the price is nice, too, for picking up some Summer Soles. We like the plush microfiber suede insoles (see photo of wedge sandals). Only $8 a pair. And the suede ones last and last.

If you don't absolutely adore Summer Soles, there's a money-back guarantee.

These chic liners are sold in many stores across the nation. And you can buy them online, too.

Olive Oil Skin Care Products Smoothing Over Complexions

If you think of olive oil, you might be saying what a super food product it is for keeping the inside of your body like a fit running machine. But did you ever wonder how this healthy oil could also bring you many benefits for 'outside' the face and body, too?

There have been lots of beauty articles written about olive oil cleansers, olive oil creams, and a number of olive oil skin care products.

Many of you have shied away from these beauty treatments because you think your skin will get super oily and break out. But not the case. Instead, olive oil gives skin softness, elasticity, and protection from irritants in our environment.

Today, we are looking at 2 skin care companies that offer very popular olive oil-based products:
DHC Skin Care and Eger Olive Oil Skin Care.

DHC has several olive oil products for improving your skin. The most popular item is their Deep Cleansing Oil ($ 25, 6.7 fl oz, www.dhccare.com). It's a water-soluble product that makes makeup disappear immediately.

"Dirt, excess oil, makeup—even waterproof mascara—and other pore-cloggers dissolve easily, leaving your face a grime-free zone that is soft to the touch. Its unique water-soluble formula rinses completely, so you’ll never see a greasy residue. Olive oil and vitamin E help ensure you won’t see dryness either."

DHC also features olive oil leaf creams, olive oil leaf extracts, and other olive oil-based skin care treatments.


Eger Skin Care, based in Israel, offers a variety of olive oil beauty products in creams, oils, and ointments.

Dr. Shaul Eger explains the science behind his treatments:

The main active ingredient is olive oil, which offers the following benefits:
Improves cells' metabolism .
Reduces cell aging rate.
Impoves cells' membrane flexibility.
Essential oils are incorporated to
Create pleasing scents of flowers, leaves, stems and barks from which they come.
Contribute their therapeutic properties.
No fragrances used in our products, due to their allergenic properties.
The oils and ointments are purely of plant origin, of natural antioxidants and no animals based additives.

Miley Cyrus And Max Azria Design WalMart Clothing Line

If you are a Miley Cyrus fan, or maybe your kids are, you will love this fashion tip:

Multi-talented Miley has teamed up with famous designer Max Azria to create a girl's clothing line for Walmart. Not bad for a 17-year-old.

The new line will be called 'Miley Cyrus & Max Azria. And it debuts this August at a Walmart near you.

The best thing we love about Miley's clothing line is the simple fact, that every piece will cost $20 or less!!! Now we're talking.

Check out the photos of Miley Cyrus modeling clothing from her new line. We like what we see.

The collection of tops, graphic tees, pants, shoes and accessories will be available come August in stores and at Walmart.com.

This all squares off nicely with the timing of Miley's concert tour, which launches in Oregon in mid-September.

Max Azria is excited about their clothing line together, and he's quite impressed with Miley's gift as a performer, as well as her down-to-earth personality:

"Miley Cyrus is talented and approachable, so working with her sparked a line that is authentic and vibrant," he says.

Halle Berry Crowned Best Celebrity Skin...No Surprise

She's 42-years-old. And a new mom. And to win top honors for having the Best Celebrity Skin, well, that says something, too.

Halle Berry always looks flawless. And apparently, up close and personal, her skin appears the same way.

According to David Bank, M.D., founder and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery, the stunning actress has probably taken 4 steps to maintain that enviable skin:

1. Be careful in the sun.

2. A great at-home maintenance routine.

3. Possibly Botox ($350 per area). Temporarily erases lines around eyes and forehead.

4. Possible Thermage Treatments ($1,000- $5, 000). Firms skin and tones complexion.

The good doctor also forgot to throw in good DNA, something Halle Berry has certainly been gifted with. And a healthy lifestyle. Halle is diabetic. She is active, follows a sound diet, and is never photographed partying all night long in Hollywood.

So we aren't surprised that Halle Berry was crowned Best Celebrity Skin.

By the way, Halle has just chopped off her longer hair, into her 2002 trademark pixie cut. Thought you'd like to see her latest.

007 Daniel Craig Popsicle...For Real...Sexy On A Stick

We thought we'd have a little fun today. And don't blame us, this is Del Monte's idea.

Yes, that is none other than the sexy 007 Daniel Craig on a stick. And before you make a wild dash to the supermarket, you can only find the James Bond popsicle cutie over in the U.K. At least, for now.

See, it's National Ice Cream week in Great Britain. And for this week only, you can take a lickin' of Daniel Craig. Actually, there are so-oooooo many jokes we could make, but we will take the high road here.

What we adore about the Daniel Craig Popsicle is its low caloric number.....only 100 Calories each. And the icy treats come in blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate. An excellent snack for dieters everywhere.

So how did this all come about, you ask?

Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies asked 1,000 British women which male celebrity they’d want to see on the end of a stick. Daniel Craig was the big winner! And this popsicle is the artistic rendering of him coming out of the ocean in James Bond 007: Casino Royale.

How could we forget that toned, strong physique emerging from the water! We understand why Daniel Craig was chosen. He is sexy on a stick.

"Daniel Craig topped our poll of Britain's coolest celebrities and thanks to our Del Monte lolly replica he is officially immortalized as super smooth and licensed to chill," explains spokesman Matt O'Connor."

'Licensed to chill.' We love that! And we'll take ours in blueberry, thank you.

New Ellen Sirot Hand Perfection Line For Ageless Skin

Let's talk about Ellen Sirot. And if you don't know her by her name, you definitely know her by her hands.

And what a beautiful, soft, youthful pair she owns. So lovely, that Ellen Sirot's hands have stood-in for the famous hands of Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Ray, Hillary Swank, and Cheryl Tiegs, just to name a few.

Ellen Sirot has been a hand model for 20 years now, with an impressive portfolio. Advertising shots range from Dawn dishwashing liquid to Elizabeth Arden skin care to jewelry with Ross-Simons, etc.

Ellen's hands are everywhere. And they appear ageless. So how does she keep them looking that way?

With plenty of skin care knowledge. Ellen has studied the subject for a number of years now, and is happy to share her secrets with BeautyTipToday.com.

"I feel a beautiful hand is a soft, ageless, healthy hand. Anyone can attain that - we just need to give our hands the same care we give the rest of ourselves," Ellen Sirot says.

And she is proud to launch her new product line, Ellen Sirot Hand Perfection.

"The line is a breakthrough in hand care as it is created specifically for the anti-aging needs of the incredibly delicate skin of our hands," Ellen says. "I love that the products are petroleum free (no greasy residue) and fragrance and paraben-free. The Day Cream ($50, 3.4 fl oz) is my fave, as I use it continuously through the day - each time I wash my hands I rehydrate the skin with a drop of Day Cream. The formula is created to lock in moisture and protect the hands with a light weight barrier - much like the skin's own lipid barrier."

We all know that the water and the sun, can do a number on our hands, if not the entire body. So how do we fight back?

The key is effective moisturizing. And the Ellen Sirot Hand Perfection line has the right formula to nourish the hands, including Omega-3s, essential and skin-friendly fats.

"The trick with water, is to moisturize each time you wash your hands to seal in moisture, rather then pulling it out. Also try to cut back on the number of times your hands are submerged in water - by using gloves when washing dishes, etc. For the sun, you must remember to apply suncreen to your hands and to wear protective clothing such as my Hand Perfection GLOVETTES ($35) for extra added protection," Ellen explains.

Whether you are 19 or 90, Ellen says it is never to late to rejuvenate a pair of hands. This hand care line really works.

"Our products are clincially proven to soften and smooth skin in less than two weeks on all sorts of hands!"

And Ellen Sirot uses every product she developed in her new hand care line, because she believes the ingredients are hitting the right target. Just look at her nightly routine. You can learn from this 'supermodel' of hand models.

"I cleanse my hands with HAND PERFECTION Moisturizing Cleanser, pat dry very gently and use a drop of Night Solution. The formula is so packed that just a tiny bit works it's magic. The ingredients are incredible - antioxidants for protecting the skin, exfoliants for helping with cell turnover, glucosamine to help plump the delicate skin of the hands which thins with age, Licorice Root to help brighten the skin and rich humectants and emollients to lock in moisture. After the Night Solution I use the Nail and Cuticle Treatment to take care of those areas. Our unique pen applicator allows you to target the nails and cuticle and hydrate them with our amazing oil full of botanicals and vitamins A and E. The doe-footed pusher lets you gently push back your cuticles while they are soft and supple from the oil. Hydrated nails are less likely to break and peel."

New Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Deodorant Cuts Down On Shaving

We haven't tried this one yet, but summer is just around the corner, and we hate shaving, especially our underarms. Of course, we do remove the excess hair, but it's still a pain-in-the-neck. Shaving is still the cheapest and quickest way to get rid of hair. Laser hair removal works after maybe 5 sessions and a $1,000 bill. No thanks.

So, are there more economical options?

Think Dove deodorant.

We use Dove Invisible Solid with the blue cap, and it works very decently to control perspiration. But now there's a new Dove in town, this one in the pretty pink color. It's called--Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Deodorant ($4, at drugstores).

So what does Dove deodorant have to do with underarm shaving?

We're finding this one a little hard to fathom, but, we will give it a try, and maybe some of you have already tested this Dove in the new pink container. We are curious to see what the product does.

According to Dove, the new Ultimate Visibly Smooth Deodorant, is formulated with a blend of natural extracts which supposedly target the stubble of your underarm hair. And these ingredients go to work to soften stubble for a smoother shave. Over time, your hair under there, will be finer and easier to shave away,

In addition, the deodorant leaves behind a thin, invisible film to make new hair growth less noticeable. And you still get the odor and wetness protection from the product. So no worry there.

If you visit Dove at http://www.dove.us/#/visiblysmooth/coupon.aspx, you can download a $2 off coupon on your next purchase of Ultimate Visibly Smooth.

And it comes in 2 appealing scents: Wild Rose. Nature Fresh.

New Colgate Wisp And Supersmile Quikee On The Go Touch-Ups

We've all been there. You've just enjoyed a dish of heavy-duty garlic cream sauce with pasta, and there's no way out. You head to the restaurant ladies' room and dig deep into your purse. Nothing! No toothbrush. No breath mint. No whitening paste. Not even a lint-covered TicTac(sometimes you're desperate, you know?)

We have 2 new on-the-go dental touch-ups. And the cost is very economical. You need these 2 dental products to stash in your bag. Always be prepared, as the old scout motto goes.

The first new on-the-go dental touch-up is a tiny, adorable dental accessory. Almost as big as your lipstick tube.

It's Colgate Wisp ($2.39 for a 4-pack, at drugstores). This is a mini traveling, disposable toothbrush that is actually embedded with a freshening gel bead. No water and no rinsing needed. Just brush, throw away, and go!

Colgate Wisp comes in 3 sugar-free flavors: Peppermint. Spearmint. Cinnamint.

Visit http://www.colgatewisp.com/ for more details and a contest to be the 'Face of Wisp.'

Our other favorite new dental on-the-go touch-up is a teeth whitener + breath freshener all-in-one. In a convenient pocket-sized tube.

Just squeeze a drop of Supersmile Quikee($6) onto your tongue and smooth it over your teeth, and watch your smile brighten instantly.

Supersmile Quikee is formulated with Calprox for super stain-lifting power. It also fights plaque and cavities and leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

Let's face it---these are 2 great new dental options to always have tucked away in your handbag. You just might need a clean mouth during these times:

After meals
At work
In a car
At the gym
On a plane
Before a date

You get the picture. The list is endless.

Health Beauty Benefits Abound In Red Raspberries

It's actually in the seeds of red raspberries, where all the magic is hiding.

Magic in the form of ellagitannins, or very powerful anti-oxidants.

These ellagitannins are then converted into ellagic acid in the stomach.

And science is proving that this lovely, little fruit is full of health + beauty benefits.

We were lucky to interview Kent Kohnken, the president and CEO of SMDI, the Georgia-based company that sells the popular Raspex Cosmeceutical line. And we got to sample and closely examine a few of his skin care treatments.

Kent Kohnken would be the first person to suggest you eat a cup full of red raspberries a day, and preferrably from the Meeker variety, because this variety contains almost twice the amount of ellagitannins than the others.

The only problem with eating so many raspberries, is the cost, which could run up to $300 a month.

Kent Kohnken can personally tell you that red raspberries have proven to be quite a remarkable cancer fighter:

"I have been using Raspex capsules for almost 8 years. In 2001, I had prostate cancer, had my prostate removed, had the cancer spread beyond the prostate, and had 38 radiation treatments. I researched cancer since I was determined that I would offer an alternative to what I went through. I discovered ellagitannins and the tremendous value of Meeker red raspberries and developed the Raspex Powder, Raspex Capsules, and the Raspex Skin Cream, and other cosmeceuticals. Since 2002, my PSA has remained at zero. Almost every day, I hear of prostate cancer, as well as breast, esophageal, skin, colon, and other cancers being controlled by customers using the Rapsex powder, capsules, and creams."

One of the most popular Raspex products is the Raspex Meeker Raspberry Extract Skin Gel ($24.95, 2 oz. jar). Ladies, if there is one beauty + health treatment which covers all of the bases, this is it. And the gel/cream formula is gentle enough to be used around the eyes.

A little will go a long way, too. And just take a look at what this special raspberry gel/cream can do:

Helps remove skin cancer and pre-cancer
Reduces 'black and blue bruising'
Repairs sun damage
Has a 30 SPF
Heals sunburn quickly
Boosts skin's immune system
Maintain skin's suppleness
Improves fine capillary blood flow
Reduces wrinkles
Improves rosacea
Reduces scarring, moles, age spots

Other products from the Raspex cosmeceutical line include:
Emollient Facial Cleanser
Anti-Aging Night Cream
Vitamin C Serum
Analgesic Burn Cream
'Hot Raspberry Pie' Foot Cream
Progesterone Cream
Burn Ointment
Muscadine Grape/Meeker Raspberry Extract
In addition to Raspex Meeker Powder and Meeker Capsules

You can find all these health + beauty items at their website, http://www.smdi.org/. Free shipping, too, which is always nice, especially these days.

And Kent Kohnken says that many women and men are convinced his products are really improving their skin:

"Our customers confirm that our Rapsex products are more effective than high end department store anti-aging products. In many cases, our customers have replaced their entire cosmetics case with just the Raspex skin gel/cream and the Raspex anti-aging night cream."

And all that, from a humble, delicious, little red raspberry.

The Brits Call It Pillow Face But We Call It Fillers And Celebs Are Doing It

If you really take a good look at Hollywood these days, you will definitely see that famous faces are looking much fuller, with chipmunk cheeks, as some call this cosmetic beauty trend.

What is it?

The Brits call it 'Pillow Face.'

And who's doing it? Or allegedly doing it? Take a look at our photos from the top:
Daryl Hannah. Madonna. Pamela Anderson. Courtney Love. And gossip tongues are wagging that many other beauties are on the filler bandwagon......Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta Jones. Kylie Minogue. Elizabeth Hurley. And the over-40 list goes on....

And these Hollywood celebs can get away with saying they haven't undergone plastic surgery, because fillers or injectables like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, and Sculptra are not considered invasive procedures. All this cosmetic procedure involves are some painful shots into the skin with a tiny needle. And a new rounder, more youthful appearance is created.


Of course, a skilled plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist can make all the difference.

And we read in the British DailyMail.com that a little filler goes a long way, according to injectables specialist Dr. Michael Prager:

"The main problem arises," says Dr. Prager, "when celebrities don't just try to restore lost volume, but create a wholly new and artificial face. When I use filler, I'm not aiming to create something that wasn't there before. This is one of the biggest mistakes that can be made. Nor am I trying to create carbon copy or cookie cutter faces that all look the same."

British consultant Rajiv Grover asks patients to bring in photographs of themselves in their 20s and 30s to avoid this problem.

"The key to natural enhancement is to use their younger faces as a roadmap for treatment. I don't want to give my patients huge round cheeks they never had because that would look ridiculous,' he says."


We think a little filler can look natural and youthful, but some plastic surgeons believe a facelift is the only way to go, and that too much filler can look odd, and doesn't actually reduce sagging found in faces over 40.

What do you think? Does these celebrities look better with 'Pillow Face?'

We And Demi Are Tweeting All About Teeth And Bright Smiles

If you haven't seen the un-retouched photos yet, here they are:

The always glam and ageless Demi Moore showing off a less than perfect smile over the Memorial Day weekend.

Yes, that is 46-year-old Demi in the dentist's chair. And we know that for a fact, because the actress tweeted all about it on Twitter to her adoring one-million-plus Twitter followers.

Demi told fans that she's "happy to share and always appreciate the opportunity to find humility."

TMI, or too much information? Maybe, and some people are chatting about the sexy, dark-haired Demi, saying she shouldn't have shown everyone her missing crown. But we kind of like it. The photos make Demi Moore appear more 'human' or accessible. It shows women, both young and old, that not everything in Hollywood is perfect.

Meantime, if your own teeth are looking dull, and you would love a bright, white smile, we have a whitening kit that can deliver the high wattage. And it was developed by a famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Michelle Copeland.

We have interviewed Dr. Copeland twice at BeautyTipToday.com. She has talked about her skin care line and given wonderful face and body care tips.

Today, we are looking at her Dental Whitener kit ($99, http://www.drmichellecopeland.com/). It's designed to "brighten teeth three shades within seven days!"

Dr. Copeland's Dental Whitener kit comes with convenient 20 pre-filled disposable trays. And it features a mint-flavored 6% hydrogen peroxide gel to whiten teeth. This is the first whitening kit we know of, to offer the pre-filled disposable trays.

Developed by dentists and patented (3 patents)
Clinically tested
In a single clinical study (31 subjects), 50% improvement in whiteness scores (statistically significant) or nearly 3 shades after just one week
In a single clinical study (31 subjects), 71% had noticeable or very noticeable whitening after just one week
In a single clinical study (31 subjects), 93% found the product easy or very easy to use after just one week

Whether your teeth are all real or beautifully lumineered, any smile that is white and bright, is what counts.

Tinted Color Metal Shades Summer 2009--Instant Glam
