3 pieces of brain candy

The weekends have become the only time I can really read through all my wedding and gossip blogs as well as catch up on fashion and food magazines. I know it's not intellectually stimulating in any way but this brain candy keeps me from banging my head against the wall from all the work stuff eating away at my mind. When I sit and do my internet thing or flip through those glossy pages, it's like exhaling from a long week. It's lovely really.

As I mentioned, it's brain candy but here are 3 products that caught my attention:

1. 2 Love My Lips lip gloss

Created by the Brits, not only does this product give your lips a pretty or sultry, shiny sheen, it detects whether someone has slipped a date rape drug in your drink. Crazy right?! If your drink's been tainted, your lips will turn blue! So before you leave the bar with 'that guy', make sure you check yourself out in the mirror to see if your lips are a scary shade of smurf.

2. Spanx for Men

It's about time a company recognizes that men are body conscious too. While I have yet to try Spanx, I hear they're the wonder undergarments. I just don't know if guys will really buy into a "compression" undershirt that firms, flattens and supports for $58 when they can just stick to their Jockeys or Hanes 3-packs for $10.

3. SJP NYC

Inspired by her character on Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker's latest perfume is described as flirty and floral. The bottle displays a menagerie of patterns which is funky and very SJP. I have taken a whiff thanks to a magazine sample and I have to say it's fun and youthful (but not in a bad throw back to pre-pubescence when it was Exclamation! perfume all the way). I'm looking forward to its debut, which I believe is this month.

And that's all I found in the candy jar that's fit to print.
