Hip Zipz Palacinka Product Rating Guide


Hip Zipz

Tester: African-American, frequent flyer for business.

"If you are anything like me, you LOVE using tons of Ziploc bags when you travel. I simply adored these Hip Zipz plastic bags with slide tops (my favorite type of closure!). The designed side is still clear so you can see what's in there, and the back is colored. I used the bags for all my cosmetics and hair supplies (as the 100 percent recyclable plastic bags, allowed me to pack my precious beauty items in style, yet still deal with the new rules regarding flying), as well as wardrobe items and dirty items on the return. The are not just cute however - they are sturdy and keep my shampoos and face wash from leaking all over my clothes! HipZipz has four different collections to choose from – everything from buddahs and peace signs to a skull and cross bones. My favorites were the slightly larger 10" x 10" Dragon Dreams bags." J.L.G.

Note from Hip Zipz: Nothing lasts forever. That's why HipZipz are the ultimate in disposable coolness, complete with throwaway prices. Keep in mind, their brilliant Hipness only shines for a limited time—designs can scratch off, and the bags can tear. But don't feel too sad for their short life—they can be reincarnated with your help. Because we are so passionate about preserving a healthy environment, we have made HipZipz 100% recyclable. To learn how to recycle HipZipz, go to www.earth911.org. Type in your zip code in the top left-hand column, and find out how your neighborhood can recycle plastics. Then do it!! HipZipz packages are assembled by Palm Beach Habilitation Center, Inc., a United Way Agency, that trains and employs developmentally disabled adults.

Gal Pal Palacinka Product Rating Guide


Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover

Tester: Multi-Ethnic (Irish/Puerto Rican) working in the entertainment industry.

“I am in meetings with entertainment big wigs from the time I hit my office in the morning to the end of the day, and somehow, by noon, I always notice make up or sometimes a light trace of deodorant on my suit jacket/pants or skirt. I have to say I was a bit skeptical of these, because I thought they needed to be wet or bigger or have a brush to really work - but they work like a charm! They also managed to remove the make-up that I always manage to rub off on my shirts. The pair of sponges comes in handy; I kept one at home and the other at the office. The Gal Pals are an amazing invention; I now use mine quite frequently and have bought some for my friends for the holidays, bridesmaid gifts and for birthday presents. Really, who has the time to deal with a wet washcloth or a wet wipe that can sometimes leave lint anymore - who would want to? This is one of those great little products that make you think to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?!” T.L.

The Bra (g) Palacinka Product Rating Guide


The Bra (g)

Tester: African-American, early 30’s. Travels at least 3xmonth on business/pleasure.

“What a great concept! Not only am I a big traveler, with a big lingerie collection – I also happen to be a bag addict! The bag allowed me to store at least a week’s worth of bras (padded and lace) in the bag (along with a fragrance sachet with I found was a nice touch when unpacking). The bag protected the shape and lace on all my bras and was easy to fit in all of my bags. The leopard design which I tried was so fun and funky with such a cute handle — (yes, if you are daring enough you may even want to use the bra (g) as a purse!)” S.D.

Sassybax Palacinka Product Rating Guide


Sassybax The Torso Trim Bra

Tester: African-American, late 30's with a 2-month old. Within 15 lbs of desired target weight.

"I'm in the process of shedding my remaining baby weight, and I have noticed that I definitely feel a little "jiggle" along my back with my regular bras and even maternity bras. I got my Sassybax and absolutely LOVE it! Oh my goodness. First of all I hate being constricted by underwires and padding and the bras I have found are fine but nothing special. The Sassybax gave me very good support while slimming the tummy area without making me feel uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, since loosing more weight, I find that I still wear the sassbax because I love the shape it gives me and the it soft material! I could wear it during the day with more casual clothing, and then if going out for dinner at night, I would be able to slip on a dressier outfit with no problem. The construction of the piece is very nice – it has underarms come up far enough that it covers any jiggle in that area, and of course the final selling point was the torso trimming both in front and back. I feel slimmer and more confident in it. Thank you for a terrific product! R.N.

Note: Remember to "step into" the Sassybax like a swimsuit! It's easier on the makeup and hair, and is a super quick dressing solution!

Hollywood Fashion Tape Palacinka Product Rating Guide


Hollywood Fashion Tape

Tester: Asian (Chinese-American), late 20's, wears a c-cup bra.

"I am a C-cup and this tape has worked wonders for "blouse gap" (I have a very small band size (32), but with a C cup, I often have to fight gapping on certain shirts, or a avoiding a little too much cleavage in deep V dresses and the camisoles I love to wear out at night. I use two side by side and they lasted all day and night on some days. I highly recommend this item for your wardrobe! I also made a great emergency fix when the hem of my pant unraveled one morning! The tape stayed all day until I was able to take it to the tailor and did not leave any tell-tale signs while I was wearing them, or god-forbid fall off or leave any residue on the pants. I also experimented with using the tape to secure push up pads inside tank tops, dresses so I didn't have to wear a strapless bra." H.C.

Note: You will only get 1 use out of each piece – they cannot be reused." H.C.

Spanx Palacinka Product Rating Guide


SPANX Hide & Sleek Full Slip

Tester: Hispanic (Dominican) mid-30's within 5lbs of target weight. Wears a D-cup bra.

"This is absolutely, by far, the BEST, most comfortable full slip I have ever worn. It is so light and yet it gave me much more control than I would have guessed just looking at it. I wore it under lots of dress and suits for work, and tried it out with some form fitting wrap dresses on the weekends and at night with great results! It gives a nice shape to the bust line while smoothing the tummy and hips. It didn't make me uncomfortably hot and there was no underwire which was a relief (and esier for travel due to the "wand search" the security has to now if you have undergarments with it on these days…). Wonderful product and I am going to explore more from this line!" P.L.

SPANX Bod-a-Bing! Cropped Pants

Tester: Asian (Thai) within about 10 lbs of desired target weight. Needs control on lower tummy and upper thighs.

“These pants are a godsend! I needed a nice pair of flattering, summer weight black pants to wear for work and play (and give me some extra control while I'm trying to knock off a few pounds), and these definitely did the trick. The control panel is cleverly sewn inside the pants, all the way down the entire length of each pant leg. It's lightweight, yet really gave me a nice, streamlined look. The pants and control panel didn't feel constricting and was completely undetectable. These felt so comfortable that I found myself keeping them on all day on the weekends. They are such a flattering length and cut I could also wear any type of shoe/top with them. I can't wait to add more SPANX products to my wardrobe!” H.N.

Strap Tamers Bra Strap Concealers 

Tester: Asian (Pakistani), who works in a sales oriented job where she is often on the road.

 

"I really love the idea of these Strap Tamers.  I am required to wear a suit for my sales job, but I live in a warm weather climate, and I am constantly taking off my suit jacket getting into and out of my car, and during my lunch and breaks.   In the past, if I didn't wear a strapless bra, I would often look over and see my straps peeking out of my V- neck short sleeved sweater or tank.  However, after using Strap Tamers, I looked  professional and pulled together at all times. 

 

The application was simple: after inserting the two little pins - one on the inside of each shoulder seam (takes just a minute or two to get the hang of the right placement and there are picture diagrams on the package to help).   After putting them on, it was so easy to just slip my straps into the clips and I didn’t have to worry about them all day. I didn't feel the clips against my body and they didn't make any noticeable lines in my tops either.  In addition, I also love that you can leave them in your clothes, as they are washable.  In all of the tops I inserted them in, I washed them multiple times and had no breaks, tears or damage to my clothing!   Great Product!" A.K.
