Don’t you just hate to find a white deodorant streak on your little black dress just as you’re walking out the door? Dabbing with water won’t help since deodorant fights moisture. Miss Oops has the answer: a pretty pink sponge that makes deodorant stains, makeup or baby powder, or any other “oops” disappear. Just rub it over the offending mark—it’s safe to use on all fabrics, even silk. $10 for a package of two at missoops.com. Posted at 11:33 AM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

We dare you to go streaking. Not the running around naked kind of streaking, but the highlighting kind. It’s totally temporary, so go as crazy as you want. Choose between Ravishing Red, Shimmering Blonde, or Sweet Caramel highlights, comb the mousse through clean, dry hair and allow it to set for three minutes before brushing. The mineral- based color won’t transfer onto skin or clothes and doesn’t contain ammonia, peroxide, or other harsh ingredients. Best yet: it washes out in just one shampoo.

Regret that tattoo? You aren’t alone: Nearly half of all people with tattoos change their minds at some point, according to Dominick P. Artuso, MD, of New Image Laser & Med Spa (132 Fisher Ave, Eastchester, 914-771-5700; newimagelaserandmedspa.com), which opened in May. Its RevLite Si laser can remove multicolored ink, including hard-to-remove browns and greens, without harming the surrounding skin. The spa also offers laser hair removal, photo facials, IPL, body contouring, and injectables.
