Teeth whitening can actually damage your teeth if you try to do it at home, I learned the hard way. Now I use whitening toothpaste and brush regularly, which definitely seems to help. I also gave up coffee and soda.

Surprised Alessandra didn't mention that Crest Whitestripes isn't the best solution for sensitive teeth.

I really like the way you write Alessandra. I want to try all those Serge Lutens lipsticks now and even may try whitening my teeth too.

I've heard quite a lot about Americans and our “fake smiles” when I lived in France. It seems odd to me that it is hard to accept that it is a culturally part of how we greet people. Smiles are lovely and inviting and just because they are often just a reflex it doesn't make them fake. How a smile irritates one is beyond me since I've been told I smile too much when I’m in Europe. But yes, it is why we care so much about our teeth. My parents spent a small fortune on my dental work and I whiten regularly. There is such a thing as too white and I see it when the teeth look totally opaque which is unnatural.

I also recommend Chanel's Rouge Double Intensite Ultra Wear lip colour. It last on your lips and it doesn't rub off on anything. It is amazing and super soft on lips! Makes you feel like you're not wearing anything...

Hi Veronica! It's interesting that you mention this, because I was surprised to note that the lipsticks really have no smell (or one so faint that I can't pick up on it)-- especially interesting considering the perfume maestro they come from.

Health seems to be the key word. Aiming for healthy rather than white is a good rule. It's the same thing, but not quite.

I agree to both of you : not all American are about white teeth (that's not correct) but we see it more often in America. HOWEVER as a French girl, i have to say that i prefer the American approach : countless time, i see french people with absolutely horrific mouths, and i would like to PAY them to go to a dentist. Our preference for natural approach isn't right all the time. I prefer to see people with fake white teeth than rotten ones even if it's more "natural". Do not make me say what I did not say : not all french people have rotten mouths.

$75 is way too much for a lipstick. It is just makeup and in any verbose way you can justifying spending exorbitant amounts of money on anything. And this is coming from someone who loves makeup.
Crest White Strips rock!
