Check it out ladies…..U by Kotex has teamed up with none other than fashion icon Patricia Field, and together they are inviting girls to be a part of a design challenge that will not only be inspirational, but will change the future of feminine care for the better. Girls can choose design in all aspects of their lives, from fashion to the color of their cell phone. Fun and being as creative as you want are in, and boring is out. 

U by Kotex is inviting girls to share their inspiration and creativity by designing a pad, accessory or inspiration board at www.BantheBland.com for a chance to work with Patricia Field to design a new product for 2012, and as if that wasn’t enough, attend Fashion Week in NYC. Yay!!! For everyone who submits or likes a design at BantheBland.com, $1 will be donated to Girls For A Change—a national non-profit organization that empowers girls to create and lead social change within their communities.

“At this point in my career, I am thrilled to have the chance to speak with young women and bring design to the bland feminine care category through this partnership with U by Kotex,” said Patricia Field, an Academy Award-nominated, two-time Emmy Award-winning stylist whose fashion career spans 45 years and who is best known for her TV and film work, including Sex and the City, Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada. “I’m looking forward to seeing the creativity come to life in the design contest and final products.”

Check out a video of Patricia talking about inspiration and the U by Kotex Ban the Bland design challenge here. Don’t miss this chance girls. Pat Fields is probably the coolest lady evah, so go for it! It’s your chance to shine!

So great it was featured on The Today Show as one of the best self tanners on the market, and consistently chosen by models as there “go to” product when getting their bodies ready for bathing suit season.

Contest Rules: To win this super-huge 16 ounce bottle of the best self tanner evah (a $60 value), you must be a subscriber of BSW, and you must leave a comment telling us why you need this product. One winner will be chosen at random on March 31st and contacted by email.

Rihanna launches her first fragrance

The Fragrance Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Reb’l Fleur is as much in tune with Barbados-born Rihanna’s roots as it is with the glamour of her present life in New York City. Created by internationally renowned perfumers, Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien, this fruity chypre is joyous yet intense, sophisticated yet marvelously surprising. Plump, delicious fruits, red berries, purple plums and juicy, ripe peaches, make a delicious first impression. Then the heart opens into a lush hybrid hinting at Island life, subtle yet intoxicating, blossoming with sumptuous florals, a passionate melody of Hawaiian Hibiscus flower, violet, tuberose and coconut water. Defiantly sexy, the base notes linger, a beguiling, sensual mélange. Vanilla, patchouli, amber and musk become a sultry chorus striking an unforgettable, emotional chord.

THE REB’L FLEUR FRAGRANCE COLLECTION

Reb’l Fleur by Rihanna will be available in department stores for Spring 2011.
3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray $ 59.00
1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray $ 49.00
