Yup, it’s time to talk about it. Aside from the bi-weekly/monthly waxes, are we really taking care of our vajayjays? We pay special attention to and have special products for our eyes, teeth, underarms and other body parts., but what about down there? Now take a look in your beauty aresenal ( go ahead I’ll still be here) and tell me how many products are in there for down there? Um yeah, that’s what I thought. Sweet Spot Labs has taken care of that and has a line of gentle, ph-balanced products especially for your sweetest spot.
Having worked in women’s health for a few years now, I’ve seen tons of ladies, young and old, who think the remedy to all vajayjay problems is douching. You can ask any women’s healthcare professional, douching is a no-no, and can possibly make whatever problems you’re having, worse. Sweet Spot Labs products are carefully ph – balanced ( highlight that) for our area. Why does that matter? Because, pH is the measure of acidity. Our sweet spot has a ph of about 4. So to keep bacteria away and maintain a healthy spot, products we use should not exceed that ph level. With the ph and a blend of natural essential oils created to go along with your natural scent, Sweet Spot products takes care of that worry and concern.
The Gentle wash in Basil Grapefruit is my fav. Products include wipettes, mists, washes and the all new bidet-in-a-bottle….GENIUS! ( Quick freshen-ups for unexpected events )…tee-hee…j/k. Scents include citrus galbanum geranium lavender, basil grapefruit or unscented.
I get my products from Douglas Cosmetics over here in Philly, but you can check out their website for more info and other locations!
With the start of Fashion Week comes Fashion Rocks, when fashion and music come together to put on a fabulous concert benefiting cancer research. Celebs hit the red carpet Friday night for the annual taping of the concert.
Here are a few of my beauty hits on the carpet ( click pics for larger image):
1st up is Bey. I am luvn the heavy winged liner and strong brows. I’m guessing a black liquid liner was used here for that strong/heavy effect. It’s all about the eyes here.
Next would be Rih’s dark eye, which is pretty much the reverse of Bey’s. Her inner rims are lined with black liner. A dark shadow is then added below the eye for a smokey effect with the wing extending from there. A brownish/coppery eyeshadow and pinkish/brown gloss lip finish the look. And her skin is just glowing all ova! FAB!
Charlize’s look, again, dark eye, nude lip combo. What did it for me here was her hair. Tousled, loose waves. LUV bed head hair. Classic!
Last would be Keyshia. The smokey eye but with a bluish/silver twist. Great lashes, brow and pink lip. And I’m so happy with her darker hair. LUV it. You’ve come a long way baby!
And of couse with the favs, there came a few WTFs.
Bewtween Tyra and Ashanti, I didn’t know what to do with myself.
I refuse to believe that Jay Manuel did this. I will not accept that! I mean, for once, I just want to see Tyra look soft. Not so damn hard and in your face Ru Paul, I mean really….there’s just too much going on here, dontcha think?
And as for ‘Shanti, if she doesn’t stop it with that damn Pepto Bismol lip I’m gonna scream. Such a pretty girl with this nonsense.
Fashion Rocks airs Tuesday @ 9pm on CBS…..BE THERE!
Fashion Week officially starts today!!!…Whoo hoooo..For those of you who can’t “be there”, you can follow MAC Senior Makeup Artists around the city for Fashion Week thanks to Twitter. The Twitter Widget is on the sidebar for you to enjoy!

Just in time to celebrate their 100th anniversary in ’09, Max Factor has announced that Gisele Bündchen will be their new face. Replacing Carmen Electra, the brazilian model will be the face for the North American market working with makeup artist Pat McGrath and photographer Nick Knight.
Gisele’s ColorGenius Face Collection campaign will hit shelves in October.
Dressed in a sexy little mini with tons o’ cleavage, Christina Aguilera launched her Inspire fragrance yesterday at Macy’s Herald square. The floral/fruity scent is described as follows:
Inspire brings a little of her self-assured confidence and sexiness to every woman’s life. The fragrance will remind you not to drift along with the crowd but will inspire you to stand up for what you believe in and strive for your dreams. The fragrance celebrates being a woman, full of feminity and fun. Be inspired, be sexy and be exactly who you want to be.
The collection includes the perfume in 3 sizes, a body wash and a body lotion and retails for $32 – $59. But if you hurry, you can get a free sample on her site while supplies last!
I found the perfect compliment to Sephora’s body butter. Philosophy’s Amazing Grace line has a Body Spritz that has a light so fresh and so clean scent. It’s described as a “base coat” to be used under the Amazing Grace parfum, but it can be used alone too. It’s funny how I usually watch Philosophy owner, Cristina Carlino, talk about this scent on QVC with so much passion saying people are always telling her how clean she smells and I think to myself, she’s so extra. BUT now I understand…lol.
8oz size available @ Sephora for $25.
In the coming season, Hard Candy will be downsizing, selling only its gift sets. As a result, EVERYTHING on their site is now 75% off. So if you’re a Candy Girl & can’t live without your Hard Candy, shop now while you still can.
Brad Pitt has teamed up with Kiehl’s to raise funds for charity. The new Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser is the brand’s first item that is completely eco-friendly right down to the packaging. Kiehl’s and Pitt aren’t making a bundle of cash from this deal, all profits from the sale of this product will support JPF ECO SYSTEMS, a charitable partnership created by the two to maximize awareness of environmental sustainability.
The Downside: Brad isn’t appearing in any ads. But I’m focused on the good it will do!!!!
