Product Review: Venus® Embrace Sensitive

Recently I received the Venus® Embrace Sensitive razor from Influenster to test out due to having dry skin after shaving. Prior to using this razor I always just used the Gillette men's razors because they are cheap and I hate spending a lot of money on razors, honestly. Also, they work really well. But, I have noticed that my skin is pretty dry afterward. I never really cared until Influenster made me really think about it and that's when I jumped at the chance to test this product.



I waited two days to shave, since I had just done it the day before I got my package in the mail. I was so excited to test it out, I did use it to shave my under arms that night and no joke, it did such a great job! Then when I finally got the chance to shave my legs with it, I was sold. It's a very smooth shave, my legs felt so soft afterward and my skin wasn't dry! Normally I would have to add lotion to my legs after shaving due to the dry skin and after using the Venus® Embrace Sensitive razor I no longer needed to. It's a great razor and I highly recommend it!



Another really cool thing (maybe I live under a rock) is that it comes with this really cute holder that has a suction cup to hang on your shower, so that the razor doesn't get icky from laying on the tub. I actually said, "Awwww!" to myself when I hung it up in my shower. Haha, I'm a nerd.

Note: all products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. Thanks Influenster!

The Mama VoxBox Review

So, I received the Mama VoxBox from Influenster a couple weeks ago and now am getting around to writing my review for all the products I received in the box. First off, I received all products complimentary from Influenster, I was not paid to test these products, it's all for fun!

In this VoxBox I got:

POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream - I actually like this product. It smells nice and has pretty good coverage. But personally, it's not enough for my skin. It's definitely smooth and applies nicely but it's just not for me. I will continue to use it and try it out a little longer, maybe it will grow on me over time. I like what I use normally and wouldn't switch to this product. It's too light for my liking, it just doesn't provide enough coverage for my skin. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't work great for someone else.

belVita Mixed Berry Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits - I was really looking forward to tasting this! Unforunately my husband is a snack freak and ate it before he went to work the morning after I got it. LOL. He's such an ass! But according to him, it's VERY good. SO GLAD he enjoyed it. Jerk. ;)

Annie's Microwaveable Mac & Cheese Cups - This product seemed weird to me so I didn't want to eat it. LOL. I gave it to the snack king, aka Paul and he said it was awful! So, there you have it. Two big thumbs down.

Dr. Scholl's Comfort Insoles - I LOVE these! They are so soft and feel like you're walking on a cloud. I'm definitely going to buy these. I want them in every pair of shoes I own! Go buy these, ladies! Totally worth it!

So, there you have it! Thanks again to Influenster for sending me these products to test out. It's always fun being apart of these reviews.

I'm a Vox Boxer!

Ok, I don't really even know if a Vox Boxer is a real thing but I did get my first VoxBox from Influenster this past week. I was so excited when I checked my mail and saw a little white box waiting for me. Here is what I got in my box...



IVORY BAR SOAP, IMPRESS PRESS-ON MANICURE, STASH TEA SUPERFRUITS TEA SAMPLER, QUAKER SOFT BAKED OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE, DENTEK FLOSSERS, DINO LINGO LANGUAGE SET FOR KIDS, NEKTAR HONEY CRYSTALS.

Here is a play-by-play of how I rate everything I've tried so far... (can you tell I've been watching LOTS of Yankees baseball? hehe) First up, the Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin cookie. Unfortunately, I don't like oatmeal or raisins so this rating isn't coming from me, but from Gracie. I asked Gracie what she thought about while she ate it and her answer was, 'Mmm, it's good! It's so soft and yummy!' So, there you have it, right from the mouth of a 4 year old. It's a win! I did happen to feel how soft the cookie was and it felt like a good cookie, but that's as far as I got. lol. But, hey it's a thumbs up from the kid!

Later that night, Paul & I had a cup of Stash tea. Paul tried the Blueberry Superfruit Herbal tea, which he says was really good but the one I had, Pomegranate Raspberry Green tea was even better. I agree! He has also tried the Acai Berry but says it was not very good. We still need to taste 3 other ones to finish the box taste test. Those ones are; Yumberry Blackcurrent, Goji Berry Green, & Mangosteen Green. We'll probably try more tonight.

For three or so nights in a row I used the Dentek Flossers & I gotta say that my mouth did feel cleaner. I've tried other flossers before mostly just store brand ones and I didn't notice much of a difference. So I'd say these flossers are pretty darn good! I'm going to have to check the price at Publix when we go shopping in a week. I might have to buy more!

I still need to test out the Ivory Soap Bar, the Impress press-on Manicure, Dino Lingo Language Set or the Nektar Honey Crystals. But, in time I'll have everything tested and will make another post about those.

I wanted to quickly mention that I received each product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. I was not paid, or anything of the like. I just got lucky enough to be selected to test these products. Thanks Influenster!



In other news, we got a new kitty! Her name is Pepper... and she's pregnant. About 4 weeks or so... Cat pregnancies last about 6 weeks. So, we're almost there. We got Pepper in exchange for Niko, our dog. I had to get rid of Niko due to him constantly peeing all over Jordan's room. I don't know if it was a jealous thing or an attention thing but it has been going on for a looong time and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. Since trading pets I found out that Niko is much happier being the only animal in the house and gets lots of love & attention, so it's a win/win!

Hey, anyone want a kitten? ;) I can't wait to see what they look like!! So, about a week or two from now I'll be posting all about kittens!

I've also had my niece Taylor with me since Friday. I love when she comes and visits. She's staying with me till Wednesday for the 4th of July picnic at my parents house. Should be fun! So, if I don't post before Wednesday I hope everyone has a fabulous Independence Day! Stay safe & enjoy lots of great food & fireworks.

We're also hitting up the Tampa Yankees game on Tuesday for hot dogs, baseball & fireworks! Talk about a good time! :)
