GH's 'Carly' (Laura Wright) Has Best Hair In DayTime TV!

Gorgeous Laura White plays the role of Carly Corinthos Jacks on General Hospital.

The 42-year-old actress has always had an incredible head of blonde locks. We LOVE her hair, and apparently, so do a lot of fans. If you take a look at forums across the internet, you will see question after question requesting Laura's blonde highlights routine, her haircut, and other styling tips.

We can tell you that Laura's healthy hair is naturally curly, and that she prefers to keep it that way when she isn't on the set. Usually, we see her with straight or wavy locks on General Hospital. And so many women LOVE her natural-looking blonde color.

No, we don't have the hair secrets for this beautiful mane. We couldn't find a stitch of anything about her highlights, except that she has curly hair.  Period.

It's a mystery. We searched all over for some kind of hair secrets from the blonde, blue-eyed star and came up with nothing. Nada. Zero.

Still, we have named her 'Best Hair in DayTime TV!'

If you know anything about this fab head of hair, please tell us!

Iconic Model Beverly Johnson's Beauty Lifestyle Brand

Beverly Johnson was a stunning model back in the 1970s and beyond. And she's still smokin' hot today!

If there's an expert on everything beauty, it's Beverly, and at 60, she's seen it all, and has some insider tips, if you will.

A Great Bobby Pin Is Anything But Beauty Basic

Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler always looks gorgeous on the red carpet. Her brunette locks and makeup are well-done. And if there's one beauty tip she wants to share, it has to do with the tiniest of hair accessories-----the bobby pin.

Sure, the bobby pin is a beauty basic, but a great bobby pin is not always easy to find. But Jamie Lynn says she reaches for this brand time and time again. And professional stylists love them, too:

Vidal Sassoon Bobby Pins ($1.29, at drugstore.com. 60 per pack.

"They have to be strong," says celeb stylist Joey Maalouf tells Glamour mag. "These are my faves." Plus, you can get these bobby pins to match your hair color.

Sometimes, you just need some bobby pins to hold up that do, to tame those strays, and for setting hair in pin curls, etc.

These classic, old-fashioned booby pins really do the trick!

Topical Vitamin C Equals Collagen Booster + Brighter Skin


Topical Vitamin C creams/serums have been known to build better skin. When applied, Vitamin C helps to balance and brighten skin tone, bump up the collagen levels, and firm up the skin.

That's all fine and dandy, if the product you are using has been successful at STABILIZING the precious Vitamin C. C is a vitamin that breaks down easily. It's hard to keep it fresh. It oxidizes fast and loses some of its effectiveness.

So, you want to look for a Vitamin C beauty treatment that has both a solid concentration and pH factor. Try and find one with a 20% amt. of Vitamin C with a ph around 3.

Today, we are looking at Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu Power CX30 ($72, at Nordstrom's).

This strong beauty product isn't cheap, but it delivers great things to your skin. It's all about the Amazonian camu camu berry that contains 30 times the Vitamin C of an orange!!

Plus, this Camu Camu berry formula features superb absorption properties due to its low molecular weight.

This jar of beauty would make for an excellent stocking stuffer!

Does Universal Makeup Really Exist? Bobbi Brown's New Makeup Line Says Yes!

We've talked a lot about makeup for one size here at BeautyTipToday. And yes, we've been skeptical when a makeup artist or cosmetics company claims that one lipstick will look great on ALL women, despite their having individual coloring, race/ethnicity.

But Bobbi Brown is here to prove us wrong with her newly launched Pretty Powerful Uber Basics line. She swears that these carefully chosen shades of makeup will work with EVERYONE.

These are universally flattering shades. As Bobbi explains it---"It's makeup, simplified.".

So, let's take a closer look.


What we LOVE about Bobbi Brown's new universal line is its variety. In other words, if you're looking for blush, there are 4 universally-flattering shade to choose from. Now, that we think equals intelligent beauty thinking!

Bobbi Brown makes wonderful, natural-looking cosmetics. There is nothing loud or garish about her makeup, you can rest-assured.

Check out the Pretty Powerful Uber Basics line here.

Carrie Underwood's Beauty Secret For Whiter Teeth


Country music superstar Carrie Underwood has a gorgeous smile. And believe it or not, she's got all her own teeth, which is actually unusual to see these days. It seems like every Hollywood celebrity goes with super-huge, super-white porcelain veneers. Carrie Underwood is sharing her beauty secret for whiter teeth with the December issue of InStyle.

Her favorite toothpaste: Bright Smile Whitening Toothpaste ($16.99, at Smilox.com).

"Because my teeth are sensitive, I can't get them professionally whitened--or even use strips. This toothpaste does the trick," Carrie says.

So, let's take a look at Bright Smile Whitening Toothpaste. The tube is not the cheapest at $16.99 for 4.2 oz.. But it does contain an effective formula for eliminating stains and whitening teeth nicely.

Most people know about Bright Smile through their dentist as the 1 hour whitening process. The treatment features a hydrogen peroxide-based gel activated by a specialized light energy to get  teeth  up to "9.3 shades whiter".
Average Brite Smile Cost: $375

The company also offers at-home products such as Carrie Underwood's fave whitening toothpaste to bleach teeth.

We think Carrie's smile looks healthy, bright and white in a genuine way.

Do you use any type of whitening toothpaste or strips or trays?

What's your secret?
