Zeno signs on The City’s Whitney Port with a New Contest!
This doesn’t surprise me at all, but ZENO Hot Spot, the emergency zit zapping device, just officially signed on the fresh faced Whitney Port as its new spokesperson.

Zeno’s BlemishBuster Hotline for Fashion Week Models
Hey, models get pimples too.
ZENO recently came out with the mini Hot Spot, which uses heat to kill bacteria that causes your pimples. It activates when you place your finger on the area indicated. Then just place the metal part on the treatment area of you face until it starts beeping repeatedly after 2 1/2 minutes. It says that 90% of pimples will clear up within 24 hours.

So, it makes sense that during Fashion Week, ZENO currently set up a hotline for models who need an emergency zit zapper — no, really.

Dove's new Ultimate Visibly Smooth line
No need to mince words, right? That is how I imagine Dove came up with the name PitiCure for their latest at-home beauty solution for sensitive underarm skin. This ‘cure does for your pits what a pedicure does for your feet. Who knew that was necessary?
Creators say the treatment cares for the delicate area by removing dead skin and impurities through exfoliation, thus preventing unwanted irritation from shaving, sweating and contact with fabrics. I was a little skeptical. It actually just seemed like just another way to hawk their latest deodorant, the Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant, which is supposed to help minimize the look and feel of underarm hair over time. After all, one whole step in the three-step process is dedicated to applying it.
I’m breaking out and it sucks.
Ok so I don’t know what happened, but all of a sudden my skin is all off-kilter and I’m noticing little breakouts around my chin and cheek. Could be all the constant running around, could (very likely) be lack of sleep. Or my skin is getting back at me for neglect.
Whatever it is, it’s annoying.
I have this kit from Philosophy that’s just been lying around, called the Urgent Kit for Breakouts that has the Purity face wash, an oxygen peel, and On A Clear Day moisturizer that I began using last night. I literally found out today that they don’t sell it anymore as a kit, but if this works, I’m pledging my life to Philosophy.
Product Review: Philosophy’s Makeup Optional
Yaay to guest bloggers! Here’s my friend Jess’ review on her favorite new acne-fighting product:
Jess' very own Makeup Optional kit, $78
“I have tried everything to not only treat my acne, but to also get the glowing hue I see on on TV and my small-pored friends, but nothing worked for me — not Proactiv, Clean & Clear Acne System, Neutrogena Complete Acne therapy system, Avon Clearskin, nor all the in between over-the-counter scrubs and washes. I finally went to Philosophy. I have been using their Hope in a Jar moisturizer ($28, a must have) and have been in love with it since, so I thought I’d try their acne treatment system, Makeup Optional.
“Even though they also have another acne treatment system called On a Clear Day ($65), I decided to try Makeup Optional because I’m in my mid 20s and now into combination treatments that fight bad skin and signs of aging, like this one! It has three versions for different skin types, but for acne prone, you want to get the one for “Congested Skin”. I love that it was gentle and has a tightening effect, minimizing the appearance of large pores. The three-week supply of the Microdelivery Peel in the kit feels like you’re getting a facial at home and smells so good you want to eat it..but uh..don’t.
