Sephora-Makeup-Removing-Pads.jpgWant a surefire way to remove every stitch of eye makeup in a flash? Turn to Sephora Eye Makeup Removing Pads.

These unassuming round white pads pack a serious punch when it comes to removing eye makeup. One pad is saturated with enough makeup remover to effectively cleanse one if not both eyes, depending on how much eye makeup you actually wear. (Two will definitely get the job done even if you wear tons of black eyeliner and mascara!) Plus, they leave behind absolutely no greasy, oily residue.

This is thanks to the ingredient HydroSenn+, a natural ingredient proven to deliver immediate and long-lasting hydration more effectively than hyaluronic acid. It also contains a lash-strengthening complex that's rich in flavonoids and olive wood extracts.

And the best part? They don't irritate the eyes. AT ALL. You'll be amazed at how gentle they are!

Sephora Eye Makeup Removing Pads are $9 for a tub of 30 at sephora.com.
veetspray_smh.jpg
Since summer is in full swing and since I'm on my way to the beach in a couple days, I turned to Veet to make sure I didn't have to pack a razor in my beach bag. This was the first time I tried Veet Spray On Hair Removal Cream and I couldn't have been more pleased with how easy it was. The spray is a little uneven so make sure to mist everything with a thin layer and then go back in to areas like your knees to add more coverage.
Diffusers-Image.jpgWhile we absolutely love candles, sometimes we actually want a scent that's more continuous than just during the candle's burn time. And while plug-ins are too overwhelming for our sensitive noses, diffusers tend to give off just enough scent to delight and intrigue us without becoming overpowering. They're perfect for dispelling any lingering odors, too (think litter boxes or something that burned during cooking!). Below, our five favorites.

Votivo Red Currant Reed Diffuser
Tart red currants, golden fruit glaze, vanilla bean ice cream, raspberry filled sugar cookies ... can you say heaven on earth?
$40 at votivo.com

Nest Bamboo Reed Diffuser
The famed candle company is just as proficient at making diffusers. And this one, with notes of white florals, sparkling citrus and fresh green accords, is absolutely divine.
$34 at saks.com

Dayna Decker Leila Diffuser
Grapefruit. Bergamot. Dewberry. Lemon Flower. Amber Musk. Need we go on?
$96 at raincollection.com

The Body Shop Vanilla & Lime Blossom Reed Diffuser
Vanilla and lime blossom combine with lily of the valley, amber and jasmine for a seductively sensuous scent.
$19.50 at thebodyshop.com

Crabtree & Evelyn Iris Home Fragrance Diffuser
Iris blends with sandalwood, patchouli and just a hint of fresh vetiver, paying homage to the classic alluring ingredient of orris (prepared from the root of the iris flower and prized by Renaissance perfumers).

Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr teamed up with Dove Go Sleeveless last week to shower (no pun intended) the winner of Dove's Go Sleevless Fashion Challenge with a $5,000 shopping spree to the popular NYC boutique Big Drop. Jessica has been working with Dove for a couple years so we knew she must really like their products. "They're very real," she told us over the phone. "They want women to feel confident." What's not to like about that?

When not hitting up Big Drop, Jess told us she likes to bargain shop at Target, Urban Outfitters, Kohls and Topshop and she also dished on her must-have beauty products, which include Dove Go Sleeveless and her favorite, Caudalie's elixir spray.

jessproducts2_smh.jpg1. Dove Go Sleeveless Deodorant, $4.07 at drugstore.com
2. Neutrogena Cleansing Hydrating Towelettes, $4.99 at amazon.com
3. Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, $3 at burtsbees.com
