If you have passed by the deodorant section of the drugstores recently, you must have noticed the tiny spritzer bottles alongside the deodorant sticks. So far, I’ve seen mists from Secret and Dove and have tested out the Dove one.
I’m the girl that owns four bottles of perfume and about a dozen sticks of deodorants and antiperspirants (including some men’s deodorants as well!) so I was eager to try Dove’s Body Mist in the Revive scent.
Revive is scented with pomegranate and lemon verbana and promises to deliver a crisp and awakening experience and deliver a bit of moisturization that is a trademark of Dove. I found the scent to be refreshing but didn’t exactly benefit from the moisture since I used it more as an on-the-go spritz during the day and sprayed it all over while I was dressed.

AdAge.com announced today that Palmolive (one half of the Colgate-Palmolive family) will be introducing a new shampoo and conditioner to the US market called Caprice. With a huge brand following in the Mexican market, and Caprice products already available in select drugstores across the country, this may be the next big new product in haircare to hit the shelves. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for it to put it to the test against my other favorite drugstore shampoos like Sunsilk, Pantene and Head and Shoulders.

Do you love peeping on fashionable girls profiles on Chictopia, Lookbook and even Facebook just to check out their style? Do you also love secretly voicing your opinion by thumbing people up or down like on HotorNot.com? The brand new fashion site Sway.com is where you can do both!
Sway.com presents a smart and groundbreaking concept in user generated shopping. The site will let members vote on a look and critique it. Looks that get the most votes will be selected by Sway and reproduced in mass scale under its own private label. Once produced, the members will be able to buy the look at wholesale prices in the first 24 hours and then they will be sold at retail price for non-members.
What attracts me most to the Sway model is how it aims to not only generate user content but harvest it. The idea is get shoppers to pre-select and essentially pre-order what they love and would love to buy and then giving them exactly that.
Sway.com is scheduled to launch in the Fall of 2010. Sign up in advance here.

MIA is my queen of NYC. Sure she was born in Sri Lanka, raised in London and now lives in Brooklyn, she is the queen of this city in my mind. The city must be getting psyched up for her concert in July because her tag has been popping up on walls all over NYC.

Spanx have been a fashion phenomenon for a while now although I still haven’t tried them. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes have personally raved about them to me. While browsing on the Spanx site to check out what they have to offer I stumbled upon this gorgeous slimming swimsuit! This one-piece suit is made with the signature Spanx body contouring technology which will give the wearer a gorgeous hourglass waist enhanced even more by geometric patterns in gray and black. The beautiful and sexy style on the upper body would be a beautiful top worn with high waisted jeans or a pencil skirt making it the perfect two-in-one item. No one will even know it is a bathing suit if you can pull it off so don’t be scared to try this look. Pick it up for just $142 at Spanx.com or keep an eye on Nordstrom till they re-stock since this hot item is currently sold out.
