Worst Razor Ever!!!

Unfortunately I bought a Venus Pro Skin and extra cartridges. I was pretty excited since I got it on sale and I figure they invest so much in their commercials it had to be a great razor right? I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed in a product.  The first shave with a new razor should always be your smoothest.  My first shave with a new Venus Pro Skin was anything but smooth.  It left behind so much stubble I was shocked.  I gave the razor the benefit of the doubt and blamed MYSELF for not using it right (how do you not use it right?) so the next day I used the razor taking extra time to get the spots that it had missed the day before. I had SO many cuts and so much razor burn I think I could have done better with a cheese grater. That is not something that should happen after only one use! So I threw the razor and the cartridges in the trash.  I didn’t want to donate them I didn’t even want to give it to a woman I didn’t like.  No one deserves that!  I think the people who made this razor have baby fine stubble that doesn’t need to be shaved but every 6 months and by the looks of the reviews on Gillette’s website it looks like I’m not the only one that feels this way. 

Unstopable!



I'm not one to rush right out and pay full-price for a brand new product as soon as it hits the shelves. Especially things like laundry. I'm a pretty faithful creature of habit when I like a brand I stick with it.  Well if it had not been for Vocalpoint I never would have tried Downy Unstopables.  They've been out for awhile now and I wasn't going to buy them but I got a free sample from Vocalpoint and WOW, I love it. You sprinkle some in the wash before you even put your clothes in the washer.  It makes your clothes smell good, your dryer, your laundry room...and so on.  Here's what the Downy website said about their product...

"you love the softness of Downy. Now add the feisty freshness of new Downy UNSTOPABLES, an in wash scent booster that goes beyond everyday freshness to keep active wear, towels, and other fabrics smelling “wow” right up until the next wash."

Along with a sample I got several coupons for the product. I am so excited to stock up on this stuff! I am going to watch for sales and report back how and when I was able to use the coupons and how much it costs.  Thank you Downy & Vocalpoint!



Giving Burt's a Shot

I got my BzzAgent kit for the new line of Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin by Burt's Bees. It could not have come at a better time because i have a really bad break out right now from moving stress.  I've only been using the Sensitive Facial Cleanser & Moisturizer for two days and I am already happier than I thought I was going to be. A little bit of the cleanser goes a long way.  Since it's very thick and creamy I thought it would be too heavy and oily for my skin. But since it is natural it left my skin very fresh and light feeling. Nothing heavy about it. Same with the Sensitive Daily Moisturizer.  Here is a "before" picture of my face before I started using Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solution Sensitive line.  I will post an "after" picture within 30 days of using the product with an update.  So far so good!
