Venus Razor Haul

Gillette Venus Razor Haul 

I used my new Sam's Club membership to purchase a years worth of razor refills to shave. I got 10 of the Spa Breeze Venus Refills and 2 of the Venus & Olay Refills. Plus a Razor handle to put the blades on.  It was 35.88 for the bulk package. 

http://www.samsclub.com/sams/venus-spa-breeze-12ct-cart-handle/prod19270138.ip

this price is cheaper then buying the razor and refills by themselves. The handle and 1-2 refills are 13.00$ and a 6 pack of razor refills is 25-30.00$. 

Saving money by buying in bulk! yay! 

Stay tuned for more beauty and health goodness soon, and a review of each razor refill too!

Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Review

Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil

I got this product from my fiancee, he had it in his bathroom storage and wasn't using this product, so I  decided to try it on a whim. This product is by Garnier which is a loreal company, and Fructis is a line in the Garnier company. This product is a multi-use hair oil. It is 5 fl oz. and retails for 6.00$ on the Garnier website. (http://www.garnierusa.com/products/haircare/marvelous-oils/treatment/marvelous-oil-frizz-defy.aspx)  This hair oil is formulated for frizzy, dry, and unruly hair.  The formula for this oil is a blend of amla, carrot, and jojoba oils. 

on the label it says it is a 5-in-1 hair oil. Here are the ways listed to use this oil:

1.) Pre-shampoo treatment 

2.) Boost Conditioning

3.) Blow dry,/Hot tool Protector

4.) Finishing Oil

5.) Overnight Hair Treatment

I have used this oil in all ways but one, which would be to boost conditioner. So I have used this as a pre-shanpoo treatment, a blow dry/hot tool protector, a finishing oil, and an overnight hair treatment. 

I like the overnight hair treatment, hair treatment, and finishing oil the most out of the bunch. 

My personal favorite way to use this oil is to place it on the bottom half of my hair after getting out of the bath.shower, after I have washed my hair. It's like a leave in treatment, styling, and finishing shine oil. I leave it on for a few days, and then wash out and repeat. 

When I used this as a pre-shampoo treatment my scalp felt good and my hair was good, it just wasn't as clean as I would have liked it, and my hair got greasier faster, but it did make my hair manageable and non frizzy after washing. 

I might try to mix a pump in with my conditioner to see how that works just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. 

I love this product quite a bit. I love what it does for my hair. It untangles, and makes my hair soft, silky smooth, shiny, frizz free, and more manageable.  Plus, it is more affordable then the argan oil hair oils, and whatever oil is in now to put on your everything. Is easy to find at a local store, and you can pick it up while you shop for other stuff. This makes me super happy!!

I love this and would give it an A+ or 5 our of 5 for me. 

stay tuned for more beauty reviews soon,

Gillette Venus + Olay Razor

Venus and Olay Razor by Gillette

                                  For smooth, sexy, goddess skin!  

                  Do you want smoother, moisturized, more sexy skin?

I do! I do! 

I received this product through Influenster's VoxBox program, in the Love VoxBox. I was very excited to see this product in the box, since I needed a new one. 

This razor had five blades to get a closer shave, an ergonomic padded handle for a better grip, and the best part is it has a shave gel bar and Olay moisturizer bar on the razor. No need for messy shaving cream. 

I used this immediately the day I got the product, I noticed how the razor glided beautifully across my skin, shaving, laying down shaving gel, and moisturizing all at once. From that moment I was sold on the product. It is wonderful! 

I recommend this to anyone who wants a better, closer shave. It also keeps your skin smoother with the Olay moisturizer in it.

Lush: Godiva Shampoo Bar

Lush Godiva Shampoo Bar Review

This is a review for the Godiva shampoo bar by lush cosmetics. It is a solid bar of shampoo and hair softening goodness with a great jasmine scent. This bar uses nut oils and cocoa butter chunks to both cleanse and moisturize, a two in one.  This bar is specifically made for dry, damaged, and over processed hair.

This does contain sulfates, to lather your hair clean, so it's not the best for colored hair. However I did find it less color draining then normal shampoo and conditioner.

These are very travel friendly, at 1.9 oz. of solid shampoo, and with the tin you keep it nicely tucked away. The only down side of the tin is it keeps the water inside the bar, so the bar is mushy now as you can see in the bottom picture.

To use when mushy I take a small piece or pieces and rub at my scalp and hair to lather and clean my hair.

This lasts forever, wayy longer then a bottle of shampoo!

I love the smell of this bar, and will re-purchase and even try more because it is a very cool idea to use a solid bar of shampoo. I love it!

This product gets an A-, but still great! a must buy if you want to try lush products.

you can get Godiva for 12.00$

It's A 10+Keratin

This is a review for It's a 10 + Keratin miracle leave in conditioner.  This product is a leave in conditioner with ten benefits to it, plus the keratin to help strengthen your hair.

The ten benfits of this product are:

- keratin to strengthen your hair

- increases styling, and managability

-  good for all hair types

- replaces lost protein

- protects keratin in hair

- protects against heat

- restores hydration

- detangles, de frizzes, and adds shine

- strengthens hair

- seals the cuticle of your hair and smooths hair.

The it's a ten +Keratin is a leave in hair treatment, that you can out on wet hair or dry hair to receive the many benefits listed above, to keep hair healthy, manageable, and frizz free. i got this as a full-size sample when we went shopping at ulta during their special 28 days of beauty or something like that. I honestly don't shop much at ulta because their rewards program is shit! Literally! but I do every so often. I think this retails for 20$ which is a bit high for a leave in conditioner(For Me) but I got it free, so who cares! Lol! :)

I do really like this stuff. I use this after I shower and I want to straighten my hair, or use a hot tool on it. I also use this when I want manageable hair after I wash it, it gets tangles easily, and when I use this it makes un-tangling easy.  The claim of it adding shine, and de- frizzing is true, it does both very well. My hair does feel smoother after using this product on it. My only problem is during the summer my hair get very oily/greasy and I do have a fine hair type, so this adds a bit too much product for my hair in the summer, but any other season this would be perfect.  My hair is longer now, and I need a leave in conditioner to keep my hair semi-healthy(Even though I dye it). I would repurchase this product, and even the other ones from this brand. It is worth the hype, and the price.

I would give it a b+ - A-

Klorane Labs Dry Shampoo

I got this as a sample in a Birchbox, and have used it all up. I had just run out of a big bottle of dry shampoo (Suave) which is the cheapest dry shampoo out there I think it's like 2.00$ So I needed some to survive a few more months. 

My hair is past my shoulders and it's fine, but sorta thick, and damaged from coloring, pony tails, buns, and heat styling. I haven't been doing much heat styling in the summer, but in the winter I like to curl and straighten my hair. I mainly use dry shampoo because I have colored hair and it's usually red, or a weird color which fades wayyy to fast. So I try to wash my hair every 2-3 days, 4 at the max with dry shampoo in my hair. So dry shampoo is a god send when they finally made it! I bought like 4 bottles of it to help my hair. 

It also is great for voluminous  hair from the root to the tip, you can create crazy hairstyles and updos with it. I need these products in my life. 

This dry shampoo works well, but i have two gripes to it. One is the white cast is strong with this product after spraying it in, but you can sort of brush it out. The second is the smell, it smells like chemical and not so good. Otherwise this is a great dry shampoo. It is on the higher end of the spectrum for pricing, so I would look for a cheaper one because I use soo much of it. But it is good. 

It gets a B- to me, It's just not right for my price range. 

That's what I think.There are plenty out there to try for under 10$ or even 5$ which is awesome. 

What do you think? have you tried this? any dry shampoo recommendations? let me know! 

Stay Beautiful!
