Amanda Peet talks time-saving beauty tips and high-impact smiles

Amanda Peet is the total package. The gorgeous actress and mom of two has loads of talent, plus flawless skin, shiny hair, sparkling blue eyes and a radiant, white smile. We caught up with her at the Crest 3D White Perfect Profile Photo Party in New York City to talk about her low-key style, which she modestly describes as "harried mom," and her time-saving beauty secrets.



One of the main things that can fall by the wayside when you have two kids is the amount of time you spend on your own beautification. Amanda was wearing a gorgeous Balenciaga flutter-sleeve dress and some sexy Derek Lam peep-toes when we met but she insisted we're more likely to find her in sweats and her favorite footwear option, "a good Converse sneaker." She's not a big makeup girl. Her beauty routine, once more elaborate, now looks something like this: "I wash my face, put on Olay," she says, "and then get in bed and watch 'Seinfeld'!" A good night's sleep is her biggest beauty indulgence. Since a good part of her day revolves around daughters Frankie, 4, and Molly, 11 months, she loves products that fit into her multi-tasking life. So the express element of Crest's new Express Whitestrips- they get the job done quickly and you can wear them while you're getting other things done- was particularly appealing.

I got the chance to try out both Crest's 3D White 2-Hour Express Whitestrips followed by the Advanced Vivid Enamel Renewal Toothpaste and get this, while the express whitestrips were working, we got to have our hair and makeup done and tried on trendy Spring accessories to go with our new smiles. Fun!
