Gwyneth Paltrow Claims Coconut Oil-Pulling For Whiter, Brighter Smile

Okay....The first thing---Does Gwyneth Paltrow have big, white, fake Hollywood teeth, or is that pretty smile all her own?

The actress did wear braces as a child; plus photos depicting the beauty's smile show what appear to be her natural teeth.

The reason we ponder is because the Academy award winner recently told E! News that she REALLY does use the ancient oil-plugging technique for a whiter, brighter smile:

"I just started ‘oil pulling’, which is when you swish coconut oil around [in your mouth] for 20 minutes, and it’s supposed to be great for oral health and making your teeth white."

Gwyneth is NOT alone. Lots of people believe in this ancient Ayurvedic treatment to turn up the DAZZLE.

Oil-pulling not only claims to WHITEN teeth, but to also keep gums healthy, prevent bad breath, remove bacteria + fungus from the mouth and so on.

How exactly do you oil-pull?

Check out this excellent how-to on YouTube with Dr. Josh Axe.

There you have it.

Healthy Mascara For Less Than 2 Bucks!! It's Wet....N...It's Wild!

Don't laugh at drugstore mascara.

It CAN be as decent as higher-end brands. Not always, but some are great. Plus, you can experiment with several because cheap mascaras won't break your beauty budget.

We are a proud, lasha-a-holic. LOL...We try them all.

We were initially shopping around a local Walgreens looking for Wet n Wild's Lash Out Loud MaxVolume Plus Mascara Amp'd Black for $5, but it wasn't available at the time. We have sinced picked up the bright, pink tube at Walgreens online, and LOVE it, too.

But when we couldn't find the Lash Out Loud, we chose Wet n Wild Mega Protein Mascara Very Black in the very green tube at $1.79.

We were at first puzzled by this unique formula, and then pleasantly surprised. It's labeled as a protein mascara. Acccording to the brand, the mascara is "enriched with soy and wheat proteins," plus "infused with acai oil + d-panthenol to protect and strengthen."

This is NOT a volumizing mascara but it IS a healthy formula.

It's a wet-looking mascara. Nothing harsh or drying on lashes. You could sleep in it, and wake up to soft lashes. NO breakage or brittleness will occur.

We like to use this Mega Protein as the LAST layers in our daily mascara routine. This stuff adds a glossy finish to our lashes. We put this on top of our volumizing, lash lengthening, other mascara.

Now, if you're going for a more natural, mascara effect, then a few coats of this alone, will do the trick.

Otherwise, for LESS than 2 bucks, this is a healthy mascara, if there ever were one.

Try it!

Chic Trend Alert: Copy Model Chrissy Teigen's Fab Cape Blazer For Less

We are lovin' this chic trend for Spring/Summer 2015. And it looks lovely across the board---Juniors, Misses + Plus Sizes:

The CAPE BLAZER

What exactly is that?

Take a stylish fashion cue from popular model Chrissy Teigen. She wore the cape blazer on the red carpet for Sunday evening's Daytime Emmy Awards.

Okay....so the gal with the great body wore it BARE almost to her navel, but darn---Chrissy has killer curves.

The cape blazer trend is both elegant + sexy, especially in black.

Chrissy's blazer is from Olcay Gulsen, and wears a pricetag of about $700. It actually appears to be connected to the skirt as a cape blazer dress. Either way, we LOVE the trend.

You can COPY Chrissy's polished glamour for a lot less. Look what we uncovered online here at PinkQueen.com! Only $31.46. And it looks expensive!

Hey, if you want to wear the cape blazer a la Chrissy Teigen, minus top + bra, then you're on your own.

Otherwise, this is a smart fashion investment.

Tyra Banks Looks Amazing In Cropped, Edgy Hairstyle With Sexy, Black Liner

Tyra Banks was a top model for a number of years, so she usually looks flawless 99% of the time.

No surprise then that the 41-year-old beauty is able to pull off this cropped, edgy hairstyle.

Look at Tyra this evening in L.A. at the 42nd Daytime Emmy Awards:

Not an easy do to carry, but the statuesque model wears it well. It's modern, cool + androgynous. And we adore this bad girl pixie on Tyra.

More importantly, we LOVE her fierce eye makeup! She is killin' it with the black liner.

Those eyes are gorgeous!

To get this smoky eye you need black liner that is up for the task. We suggest a great performing, liquid black liner like Kevyn Aucoin Precision Liquid Liner in Black ($34, at NeimanMarcus).

Yes, a tad pricey, but Kevyn Aucoin's beauty products are top-shelf. It's so sad we lost such an incredible makeup artist several years ago; his talent was beyond exceptional.

Tyra pulls the look together with a pretty, nude lip.

Kelly Rowland Admits To Fans Her Do-It-Yourself Brow Bleaching

'A lil bleach ain't hurt nobody!'

That's what singer Kelly Rowland recently announced on her Instagram page, providing proof that she admits to a little d.i.y. brow bleaching.

Take a look at the photos:

Kelly Rowland ALWAYS looks lovely, but bleaching brows cam be tricky beauty business.

You DON'T want to bleach brows too many shades lighter, because it just appears weird + alien-like. We made that faux pas before a number of years ago.

The new mama to son Titan looks like she has lifted her brow color one shade or two lighter.

If you leave the bleach on for too long you can turn eyebrows brassy blonde.

But if you're a brave, do-it-yourselfer, then try this for $6. We found Jolen Creme Bleach at Walgreens.

Please follow directions carefully and watch the clock!

Sandra Bullock Embarrassed By People Mag's Most Beautiful Status: Deserving....And She's 50!

Gotta LOVE actress Sandra Bullock...and the brand new title she is sort of embrarassed by:

World's Most Beautiful Woman of 2015.

Work it, girl, because you are SO deserving!

Sandra is 50! And a gorgeous 50, we might add.

We like seeing People mag celebrate the older woman, and we also enjoy seeing the unassuming, Oscar winner as the symbol of celebrity beauty.

Let's be frank---Everything in our culture has to do with fawning over youth, especially with women, so this is a great recognition for all to admire. 

Plus we adore what she said about her new title:

"What is beautiful is the honor of being Louis' mother."

So, how does this effortless beauty maintain her gorgeousness?

This is what she told Marie Claire mag in 2009, 6 years ago, about her  8-minute beauty routine:

‘I use a face cloth and Artistry cream for my daily beauty regime,’ says Sandra. ‘I put mascara on today because I wanted to make a bit of an effort,’ she explains.

‘My entire routine takes eight minutes since I have this mop on my head I need to wrangle. I wash, condition, put product in if it's a little haywire. I like it when it's messy-in-your-face bedhead. It looks like it just happened.’

The 44-year-old actress, who shares a rather intimate love scene with Proposal co-star Ryan Reynolds, and who has reportedly holidayed with Reynolds and his wife Scarlett Johansson, does admit that staying in shape isn’t quite such a speedy process.

‘People ask, “How do actresses do it?” Um – they pay us to do this in order to look good on film,’ admits the straight-talking Sandra.

And what exactly keeps the Speed star in such tip-top condition? ‘I do Pilates, kickboxing, weight training and when I’m at home, I run or ride a bike. If I can work out every day I
