Review: BAN® Intensely Fresh Invisible Solid

What They Say: Did you know that stressing out about sweating actually causes you to sweat? Fortunately there's BAN® Intensely Fresh Invisible Solid, the one antiperspirant/deodorant on the market designed to protect you against the two distinct types of odors that stress-related sweat causes. Known as spicy odor and s-odor, these troublesome side effects of stress were first discovered by BAN®. As a result, the company formulated a breakthrough, patented technology (formulated with kihada extract and silver cancrinite) to target and eliminate these two types of odor. In other words, you've got nothing to worry about.

With 6 distinct fragrances:

Paradise Winds - a modern and refreshing scent with fruity top notes of citrus and a colorful floral heart
Floral Fusion - a romantic floral scent with top notes of fresh greens and pineapple
Sweet Surrender - a flirtatious blend of floral scents with fruity undertones
Satin Breeze - a light, airy scent with top notes of uplifting citrus zest and woody bottom notes
Shower Fresh - a crisp, clean scent with top notes of fresh fruits
Powder Fresh - a sweet, feminine scent with notes of vanilla and rich floral notes

Melissa Says: This stuff really works! I recently used it while shooting at a wedding in 80+ degree weather, which involved lots of running around indoors and out. I was very impressed with the way this held up and kept me from getting excessively sweaty and I didn't smell half bad after over eight hours of high stress and activity. In fact, I smelled pretty much as good as when the day began.

It also goes on clear and is not at all sticky or cakey.

Now, as you see above, there are several scents to choose from. Some of them are a bit more intense than others, and I have a feeling that for some of you it may not be perfectly appealing to have your deodorant scent be as prevalent as those can be at first. That's the only thing that keeps this from getting a Totally DeLush perfect rating. Otherwise, you can always give these a sniff at the store and find one that suits you.

Retail Price: $3.49 (at drugstores everywhere)

NY Fashion Week: "Fresh Out of the Water" at Herve Leger by Max Azria

The inspiration for the look at Herve Leger by Max Azria was the girls from the Bond movies. The make-up artist wanted to highlight beautiful skin with honed bones. The focus of the look? A wet eye, which they achieved with MAC gold Pigment. The eye was outlined with MAC Technakohl Eyeliner in Photogravure to give it an additional punch along with a nice coat of MAC Plushlash. To give additional focus to the eyes, the artist used a "chalky" lip. Beyond a simple nude, it was a pale, pale matte pink that had the effect of erasing the lips from the model's face.

The result was a simple, sophisticated look that is pretty and wearable for those with warmer skin tones. If you've got blue undertones, you can still achieve the look, but I would recommend a little more color on the lips to avoid looking frostbitten.
