This Monday’s Muse in Tina Fey.

You would have thought she was playing one of her comedic roles at the Golden Globes this year when she showed up on the red carpet wearing a patterned, tiered dress that made her look like little Bo Peep. Believe it or not it was by Zac Posen! It just goes to show that just because you scored a dress by a hot designer doesn’t mean you should wear it.

However a week later at the SAG awards the sun came out and beamed right down on Miss Fey as she held her head up high and walked the red carpet looking hotter than ever (even though she knew she was destroyed by the press for last weeks gown). Her deep purple Ferragamo dress hugged her bod in all the right places and she looked absolutely stunning.

Cheers to Tina Fey’s red carpet rebound!

Whiter Teeth in An Hour

In the beginning of the year I went to my dentist for a regular cleaning, and as usual, everything was fine. No cavities, but I did get yelled at once again for never flossing. Therefore, I promised myself that this year, I would pay more attention to my teeth. Just this week I paid a visit to Dr. Barbara Wachs at BriteSmile on Madison Ave. in NYC.

First, she measured the whiteness of my teeth and told me they were already very white, but if they weren’t they could get up to six shades lighter with the treatment. I spent an hour there undergoing three 20 minute whitening treatments. Dr. Wachs explained that my teeth may feel sensitivity. By the third treatment, I was ready for it to be over, but it was bearable and so worth it.

I brushed my teeth and looked in the mirror and my teeth were the whitest I’ve ever seen them. Since I’m addicted to coffee and red wine I asked Dr. Wachs how I can continue to live my lifestyle and keep my teeth as white as they are. She told me it’s best to drink your coffee and such quicker than to slowly sip and enjoy it. Bummer, but if it works, I’ll do it. I’m also using the BriteSmile Whitening Pen twice a day to keep them white.

Next step, start flossing!

Achieve A-List Arches

Besides the nominees, brow guru, Anastasia Soare, was a VIP at the Golden Globes this year as well. You can credit her for the perfectly shaped arches of Julianna Margulies, Penelope Cruz, Jane Adams, Fergie, Elizabeth Moss and Jennifer Graner.

“Award Shows and red carpet events are really the perfect time to vamp up with a glam look. The stars will be very glamorous and not in everyday clothes so their brows should embody the glamour of Hollywood,” remarked Anastasia.

Like her work? Here are some tips from Anastasia on how to get red carpet brows:

If waxing, be sure to do it 3-6 days before an event. After a wax your skin color can become a little lighter and if given a few days your skin will have time to calm down
Ask for them to be high arched and keep them somewhat full
Highlight the corner of the brow with a pencil

I always suggest keeping your brows in the hands of professionals, but if you can definitely maintain them at-home. Anastasia has great brow grooming kits that contain everything you need to keep your arches in check. Check them out here.
