Are you embarrassed by your smile or how you look on an every day basis? You don’t have to be. Put these simple beauty tips into play and you won’t be anymore. I don’t want to be known as the mom who always goes out with no make up on and never looks put together. These tips will help you look nice on an every day basis.

Simple Beauty Tips

1. Wash your face in the shower. This really helps my morning go so much quicker. I despise washing my face in the sink. It just doesn’t work for me.

2. Use Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste. Once out of your shower brush your teeth. This new toothpaste from Colgate will whiten your teeth in just 3 days*. Crazy right?!  A simple step to whiter teeth just by brushing. Which you need to do anyways. It really does work. I was surprised at how white my teeth look after just 3 days*. Much less hassle then other whitening methods. Simple Beauty Tips | #ad #OpticSmiles #CollectiveBias 3. Apply your favorite makeup. Right now I am loving my Naked 2 Palette from Urban Decay. I use Younique primer, concealer, foundation and fiber lashes. This look takes me less then 10 minutes. I use my blow dryer after I apply my mascara to curl my lashes easy and it works great.   I can do all of these simple steps in less then 45 minutes in the morning. When I am done I feel beautiful and I want to smile. Having whiter teeth really brightens my whole face and looks wonderful with my makeup. Simple Beauty Tips | #ad #OpticSmiles #CollectiveBias I found the Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste at Walmart on the end of the aisle. Simple Beauty Tips | #ad #OpticSmiles #CollectiveBias If you want to try Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste yourself check out these demos at your local Walmart on 2/28/15. Ambassadors will be roaming aisle giving out $1 off coupons good on Express White Toothpaste.

Here is a cute little video I made. It is seriously that simple to get whiter teeth. I can see a big difference for sure.

    Now, what a smart girl; brush your teeth in the shower! I like your tips. My biggest time consumer is my hair. To dry, curl, and style takes me too long. I tried to save time from switching from a curling iron to electric curlers. Thanks for the tips.
