Hey Katy Perry fans! As we had mentioned before, Schick® Quattro for Women® partnered with Katy Perry for her California Dreams tour and launched the Dare to be Spontaneous summer program encouraging women to embrace the freedom that comes from having legs so smooth you can skip a day or two!

****Update: Congrats to Stephanie C., Kalli B., and Victoria G.!

I AM VERY EXCITE! I mean uh… I’m very excited about trying out the new AXE Excite deodorant body spray, and shower gel. It’s got a blend of coconut in it, very interesting- with some hazelnut and caramel scents too. It’s a new note for me but I’m liking the sexiness to it. The fragrance definitely lingers with this aroma that has my girlfriend looking at me like I’m some dessert. Oh yeah!

It’s in a sleek, redesigned package that looks very futuristic. However, as always I am a big fan of their Twist cap on the bodyspray. It just makes it so easy for me to spray on as I am someone who has hardly any time to get ready for work in the morning because I’m usually stuck to my bed. Maybe it was the dessert last night or me being the dessert… who knows- my lips are sealed. But what I can tell you is, it’s also available in a deodorant stick and invisible solid- all hitting the stores in June.

Oh and best line ever (from their commercials and behind the shower gel bottle): “The cleaner you are, the dirtier you get”… Rawwwwr!

You want some of this don’t you? Whoa… I’m talking about the newest AXE collection for your man! Well, I’m giving away 3 Jack Black Dop Kits with the full line of AXE Excite line. All you have to do is tell me what your most “sinful temptation” is (but let’s keep it G-rated, ok ok, PG-13) below in the comments and I’ll pick a random winner on 4/27/2011. Guys you’re more than welcome to enter too! (US Residents only, winners must confirm within 24hrs of notification.)
