Mischo Beauty's Dove Spa Day

As part of Dove's new campaign for it's newly launched Dove Ultimate Deodorant formula, which I mentioned here, I was given the amazing opportunity to invite ten friends to join me at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa for manicure, pedicure and piticure treatments.

We started the day by showing each guest how to perform a piticure treatment which consisted of a gentle exfoliation of the underarms, shaving and then the application of Dove Ultimate. Dove provided each guest with a set of gentle cleansing wipes, a razor and Dove Ultimate which was all that was needed for the treatment.

We all then received the most amazing and relaxing manicures and pedicures. If you were following my tweets that day, then you know I selected YSL's #42 Ultra Orange for my manicure and YSL's #42 Ultra Orange layered with Sephora by OPI's "Only Gold for Me" for my pedicure.

I loved my nails and my guests love all of their services. I just wish I had more photos to share. Unfortunately, having to keep the appointments organized, along with the fact that our services weren't performed in a private room, kept me from taking photos as I did not want to be a distraction to other guests of the spa. But, an AMAZING spa day was had by all!

Thank you, Dove!

Mischo Beauty Loves YSL Beauty's "#142 Ultra Orange" Nail Polish

While I can't say that YSL Beauty's La Laque #142 Ultra Orange is the "color of the summer", I will tell you all that I am in love with it! So much so, that it was my nail color of choice at my Dove sponsored spa dayI tweeted about a few weeks ago (more on that later today!). The color is creamy and bright, and reminds me of a fruity popsicle. It's definitely a must-have shade for the summer!

What's on your nails this week?

Mischo Beauty Anniversary Giveaway: Dove Daily Treatment Conditioners

Though I said yesterday's giveaway would end the week of anniversary giveaways, I decided to gift a special reader and former model of mine, ButtaBaby (she always volunteered to be a model for me while I was completing my cosmetology and esthetics programs) with the following Dove Daily Treatment Conditioners:

- Dove Damage Therapy (Daily Moisture)
- Dove Damage Therapy (Intensive Repair)

She takes extra special care of her hair and so I know she'll appreciate the new technology included in the reformulations of these conditioners. And because Dove was the official Hair Care Sponsor of the Glee Live! Concert Tour! (which I know she's a huge fan of), I'm also gifting her with a DVD copy of Glee Season 1 Volume 1 autographed by Lea Michele!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Dove Ultimate Deodorant

I haven't used Dove deodorant in ages, but their new Dove Ultimate formula caught my attention recently. Now being the "lover of all things beauty" and especially beauty treatments (remember that amazing class I took a few weeks ago where I learned a ton of new beauty treatments?), I had to tell you about Dove's new treatment called the "Piticure". Like a pedicure, the Piticure is supposed to keep your underarms smooth and ready for summer.

The treatment involves the following three steps:

1. Gentle Exfoliation of the underarms
2. Shaving
3. Application of Dove Ultimate deodorant

Now the most important benefit, in my opinion, is supposedly no irritation. And if that's true, then that's genius!

Have you tried this formulation?

Mischo Beauty Pick: Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture

So I couldn't wait to test out Dove's new selection of body washes (Deep Moisture, Gentle Exfoliating and Sensitive Skin) formulated with NutriumMoisture. You're probably asking what exactly "NutriumMoisture" is? Well it's a formula that uses "100% natural moisturizers" which are absorbed into the skin (past the outermost layer!). According to Dove, it is the only body wash formula that's fully absorbed by the skin - moisturizers in other body washes sit on top of the skin, leaving it partially moisturized.

I've tried all three formulas, and I'm happy to report that each left my skin soft and smooth. Although I loved the consistency of the Deep Moisture and Sensitive Skin formulas (both are rich and creamy), my favorite was the Gentle Exfoliating formula. It is very gentle- no worries about it's exfoliating beads scratching your skin! And if you've been following my blog, then you know I'm an exfoliant addict -I love the benefits of exfoliation!

I'd love to know your thoughts- have you tried any of the formulas?
