Let's face it---a bright, beautiful smile is pretty awesome. 

It's impossible for most of us to compete against Hollywood's super white, super fake, super expensive teeth, BUT....if you want to get yours a couple of shades whiter for $10 in a jiffy, then try this:

Plus White 5-Minute Premier Whitening System

We bought ours online at one of our FAVE beauty stores that stocks LOTS of cool items here at HarmonDiscount.
.
Hey, for $9.99, this inexpensive, drugstore teeth whitener is worth a shot. So if you don't see great results, you haven't blown your beauty budget too badly.

"Whitening your teeth is one of the fastest ways to turn back the

clock." — Cosmetic dentist Nancy Rosen, N.Y.C. revealed to Harper's Bazaar magazine.

It's true, even a shade or two brighter makes an attractive difference.

We don't smoke, drink tea or coffee, and don't often indulge in red wine, but we've been a soda drinker (Coke) all our life, and even that can stain teeth, as well as eat away at the enamel.

Plus White 5 Minute is NOT a professional whitening system by any stretch....BUT it does work, and we believe you will see some decent whitening. We've been using it for 4 days now and notice at least 1 1/2 shades brighter.

Inside the DIY kit, you will find this:

Premier Whitening (Pack of 1)

• Proven Bleaching Power That Whitens And Brightens
• Contains An Enamel-Friendly Bleaching Ingredient
• Stainguard Rinse Keeps Teeth Whiter
• For Fast And Effective Whitening
• Comfortable Mouth Tray

Time To Battle Horrible Hobbit Feet: Burt's To The Rescue!

We have referred to dry, cracked, callused, winter feet as hobbit feet, er, because that is what our feet tend to feel like in the dead of winter:

 Like leathery, thick soles...LOL

But that's okay. There is some topical help on the way!

You need a serious cream that nourishes thirsty toes and heels, and Burt's Bees happens to make an excellent, cult-favorite foot cream:

Just look at the reviews here and you will see why this gel-like foot cream is a WINNER.

For $9, this tube delivers!

It's formulated with coconut oil, glycerin, and peppermint + rosemary extracts.

Burt's advises using the foot cream like this:

"Apply liberally and allow the cream to fully absorb. For a luxurious way to treat your feet, soak feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes and rub gently with a pumice stone. Massage Coconut Foot Creme into feet, paying close attention to heels and calloused skin. Then cover your feet with cotton socks overnight to soothe and seal in moisture."

Un-Retouched 2013 Photo Of Cindy Crawford Surfaces: This Is Real Life

Iconic model Cindy Crawford turns 49-years-old this February 20th.

Still in great shape and a mother-of-two.

But now an un-retouched 2013 magazine lay-out photo has surfaced of the sexy star, and it is causing a lot of BUZZ.

As we've all learned by now, photo-shopping is a very useful tool in the advertising world. Pretty + perfect sell lots of things. So do young + barely wrinkled.

That is why models have a short shelf life when it comes to their careers.

Cindy has broken all the rules. She has never needed an expiration date.

But take a look at REAL Cindy Crawford from 2013 in a photo shoot for fashion mag Marie Claire. This pic had NOT been photo-shopped and wasn't supposed to be leaked out.

Well, we think Cindy Crawford remains a sexy girl, and appears human for goodness sakes. She's got a healthy, slim, toned body. What's there not to love?!

We like seeing un-retouched photos because they display the realness of a human being. As stunning as Cindy has ALWAYS been, she is in fact, a real person with real imperfections like everyone else on the planet.

But don't feel too badly about Cindy's un-retouched photo, because she is part owner of the successful skin care line Meaningful Beauty, which pulls in a reported $100m a year.

Cindy said this about aging to Women's Wear Daily:

"Beauty changes as I get older. I've always found that beauty and confidence are synonymous. If you feel confident, that's what people see.

"I always tell people to fake it until they make it."

Love You, Uma: But This Parisienne Makeup Isn't Chic On Anyone!

As women, it is easy to be critical of other women.

Of course, it is NOT nice and NOT right, but when it comes to physical appearance, women tend to judge OTHER women so harshly.

Now let's bring in much beloved actress Uma Thurman. .

Here is the pretty blond star at  a NYC premiere a couple of days ago. Take a long look:

It's called effortless Parisienne chic.....a more natural-looking makeup  minus mascara, according to pro artist Troy Surratt.

Hmmm. Well, we don't find the look tres chic on anyone unless perhaps under the age of 30?

This red carpet cosmetics boo-boo just goes to show you how important eye makeup is to the beauty + balance of the face.

Now, if Uma had a cool-lined eye with a bit of mascara on, then she would have slayed most at the premiere, but this is incomplete if you will.

And the poor thing has been struck with tons of critical bows + arrows, accused of being botoxed + full of filler along with talk of recent plastic surgery.

Uma was a guest on the Today show this morning. She wasn't upset with all the slams about her effortless Parisienne chic look. She took it all in stride.

Check her reaction here at the 2:16 minute mark.

Here's what Uma usually looks like with a full set of makeup on:

What do you think?

Mr. Surratt was surprised by the backlash and wanted to try a different makeup appraoch:

"I wanted to give Uma a statement lip balanced by a more feathered brow," he explains. "Uma and I discussed creating a look that was more editorial with soft natural lashes. As a makeup artist I’ve grown a bit tired of all of the lash-y looks and fake eyelashes that we’ve been seeing on the red carpet for some time now."

Can Uma get away with zero eye makeup + bold lips on the red carpet?

Boom! $9 CoverGirl Bombshell Brow Product Does The Job Nicely

Hey, it's LESS than $10, and if it doesn't help deliver fuller-looking brows in a perfectly natural way, then you haven't busted your beauty budget that badly.

Bolder, thicker brows . That remains the beauty trend for 2015. And we certainly understand the frustration in having anemic brows.

Great-looking eyebrows give lovely definition to the face, and as we have learned before, fuller brows give the illusion of youth.

Elizabeth Taylor owned amazing brows back in the day, and was an expert at doing her own makeup. Such a beauty, OMG!

Cover Girl sells a wonderful brow product that works like both a pencil + brow powder. It's called:

BOMBSHELL POWDER BROW + LINER ($9, at ULTA).

You brush it on. So the applicator wand is like a pencil by way of technique, while the formula features a soft brow powder that adheres to brows, filling in the sparse areas naturally. Plus, you can also use the product to line your eyes.

You have a choice of 4 shades:

Black. Dark Brown. Medium Brown. Blonde.
