Want to be a rockstar? Forget American Idol! Garnier Fructis is helping to make your dreams come true. The brand partnered with Rolling Stone for a competition amongst 16 bands/artists who are in the running to become the next big thing and the winner will be featured on the front cover of Rolling Stone.
The contest will include several online voting rounds with the final two acts going head-to-head at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in June. The winner will be announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (my fave) and will appear on the cover of the August 19th issue, on newsstands August 5th.
Check out the campaign here and vote for your favorite up and coming artist or band! To celebrate the new launch, I'm giving away a beauty bag filled of $225 worth of Garnier products! Follow me on Twitter @beautysweetspot and RT the giveaway all day and a winner will be chosen at random at the end of the day. Good luck beauties!
You all know I'm a huge fan of AXE scents and it just so happens that my boyfriend, Joe, is too. Therefore, when I first heard that they were coming out with a new scent called Excite, he was the first person I called and we put the new collection to the test.
Being a dedicated user of AXE in Leather, Joe's open to experimenting with new products from brands that are familiar to him. I'm a lucky girl! So were the results as dramatic as the commercials? Did he spritz it and find me running over to him from the other room to tackle him? No, but as AXE says, it did "make the nice girl sin when tempted."
I've been extremely loyal to my Blackberry since my college days, but recently I've been thinking about making the switch. Being a blogger need a phone with a big, clear screen, great camera (mine doesn't even have a flash, forget Twit pics) and shoot video.
I was checking out the T Mobile 
I have a confession: sometimes when I'm at the gym I place my iPod in between my cleavage so I can lift free weights. I have to admit, it worked well and "the girls" kept it in place , until one day when the screen went white. At first, I didn't relate the problem to my cleavage. Why would I? But it turns out, my boobs broke my iPod!
Allow me to explain – My iPod still plays music, but I can't see anything on the screen at all, which is beyond frustrating. When I brought it to the MAC store for an explanation I was told that it got wet. Which can only mean one thing – it broke due to the sweat that drips down my cleavage in my sports bra day after day. It's official, my boobs broke my iPod.
I have to admit, when I hear the word "preppy" two things come to mind, first my best friend Adrienne who has the chicest Upper East Side style with a downtown attitude and then I think "ew, not me".
That's probably why we're still best friends after 20 years, because as different as we are we're very alike. I'd far from Upper East Side style, but definitely have the downtown girl attitude! So when I first received the press release for this new fragrance by Vera Wang I thought it would be something Adrienne would buy just for the name.
Hey BeautySweetSpot readers! I wanted to fill you in on a huge Facebook sweepstakes that a great haircare line, LiQWD is holding. In case you're not familiar, Rachel Zoe and Cameron Diaz are both hugely obsessed with this line so you may want to check it out.

It's Monday and time to get back to the grind! I hope you all had happy holidays! To kick off the last week of the year I'm doing one more giveaway. Perhaps the best one yet. No matter where you live or what kind of weather you have everyone can go for a pair of these during the winter season – Muks Boots, $275.
These boots are to die for! They're the black studded 
As a true tea lover I had to include this gift set on my holiday gift guide, but not just because its loose leaf tea, but because it's my favorite brand of loose leaf tea – Tavalon. I first discovered Tavalon Tea while getting a facial at the Townhouse Spa in NYC that was infused with the goods. The antioxidant properties were working on my skin and then I decided to purchase the loose leaf tea the spa had for retail because it smelled so good.
Give someone the gift of relaxation and antioxidants this holiday season with the 
I've written about them probably a dozen times, but there's a reason – I really love this brand! KohGenDo created a Holiday Face Powders Set, $58 that's a great gift for any woman on your list. I particularly like it because it includes three of the silkiest face powders in the best colors to ensure your skin looks flawless in any light. They're such a cute stocking stuffer!
I love stacking bracelets, but my collection of wrist candy is all meaningful. For my second gift of BeautySweetSpot's on-going 
To kick off a 
Let's face it, we live in a society where voluminous blow outs and Victoria's Secret like manes are coveted. Long, healthy hair is attractive. Most American woman aren't blessed with this type of hair. Let's be honest. Therefore, I turn to clip-in extensions to achieve those results for TV appearances and Spokesperson roles. But for about the past month I've been testing out a three step hair care system by 
As you know I go to a fair share of events throughout the week for new product launches, cocktail parties for the industry and once in a while, red carpet events. I've been to the Emmys and other red carpet events like the 
Just like the right pair of shoes can take an outfit from day to night; the right scent can help you get noticed and be remembered. How? There are certain scents that are complete turn ons.
“Pleasant aromas can actually stimulate parts of the brain directly connected to sexual desire,” says Alan Hirsch, MD, director of Chicago’s Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation.
In the beginning of September I wrote about my favorite Spokesperson role yet – being a "Flirting Expert" for Flirt! Cosmetics. I'm saying it was my favorite because it was perhaps the most natural to speak to and one flirting's of my fave things to do!
To celebrate the launch of the video on Flirt's You Tube Channel I'm giving away Flirt! Cosmetics! In the video I mention playing up your eyes and lips and therefore want you to follow my advice.
Today begins 
Last week I was talking about flirting with Flirt! cosmetics and besides mascara being a flirting secret weapon (wink) I have to say a sexy scent is an ultimate flirting must have. Better yet, forget flirting. One whiff of an intoxicating blend can create a complete throw-me-down-on-the-kitchen-counter reaction. Ladies, you know what I mean.
As a matter of fact, according to a study done by AXE, two out of three women admitted they would be more likely to make out with a guy on a first date if his scent was right. I'm asking what's wrong with the rest of them? There's something so captivating about a good fragrance, but a difference between a good scent and an I-want-you scent. If men were smart, they'd all use scent as their secret weapon. Hey, I do.
