Instant Obsession – ShopGoGirl.com!

May 26th // 3 Comments

I have a confession to make: I constantly break the rules of deodorant etiquette. Wait, wait–before you go assuming things–this doesn’t mean that I don’t wear deodorant; it simply means that I’m careless with how I apply it. No matter how hard I try, I can’t ever seem to keep those pesky deodorant stains off my clothing. I’ve tried numerous brands, from sprays to those that claim to go on “crystal-clear”, but I just can’t bear the thought of giving up my favorite brand, which works wonderfully at keeping me fresh ‘n’ clean, but (naturally) stains a hideous shade of chalky-white all over my beautiful, black clothing. Well, being the stubborn, online shop-a-holic that I am; I went on a quest to find a solution to my problem, and guess what–I found one! It’s called the Smudge-Sponge™, and it’s available through ShopGoGirl.com.

Pack of 4 Smudge-Sponge™ $13

Smudge Sponge

Finally, someone came up with a great solution for removing deodorant stains without the use of water/detergents! The Smudge-Sponge™ simply wipes away deodorant and powder smudges. The thing that makes this product extra-great is the fact that it’s easily packable. I bought a few for Amber, threw one in my gym bag and one in my cosmetics bag (for those dressing room blunders). If you’re a deodorant etiquette abuser too, you’ll be as excited as I was with this product. I have more good news for you too! I was able to snag a “Hot Deal” on this product, which I want to share with you! From today until Sunday, May 31, get an extra 10% off your order at ShopGoGirl.com! Just enter the code MYFASHION at checkout.

I will forewarn you, however; the ShopGoGirl.com site is chock-full of travel-friendly goodies you’ll not want to live without, so come prepared to shop ;) I also picked up some LINT-ON-THE-GO-SHEETS!® (how convenient!) and CHIC™ double-sided apparel tape, which is so much easier than carrying around a needle and thread when you’re on-the-go. So, there you have it: ShopGoGirl.com, my “Instant Obsession” of the moment! Do you have an “Instant Obsession“? I’d love to hear all about it!

Love,
Loren
