Gillette Venus & Olay Product Review

By -

First I want to mention what the brand says about their product:

"For the first time ever, Gillette Venus, a global leader in female shaving, and Olay, a global leader in skincare, are coming together to deliver a gold standard in shaving with the new Gillette Venus & Olay razor. 
Venus’ best shaving technology works with Olay Moisture Bars, offering women best-of-both-worlds shaving and skin expertise. Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin for less dryness, and with every smoothing stroke, Venus’ five blades shave you close."
Product Details:

Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.

As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment

Where to Buy
  • A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99.
  • Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.
  • Venus & Olay were just made available starting March 15, 2012 at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States.

HERE IS WHAT I THINK

Quick Take:  Quick return of stubble...which resulted in twice the shaving time in a week :( 

Usage Tips:  Very easy to use...no slip grip, angled well around ankles, knees, and underarms.

The Verdict:  I'll stick to my men's razor for a longer-lasting shave.

While the pretty color and the heavenly scent are alluring, I just wasn't impressed with this version of the Venus Razor. Sadly, it seemed that the lotion/moisturizing strips kept the slick 5 blade-system too far away from my skin, resulting in a five-o-clock shadow by the next day on my legs. I'll definitely keep this one for my underarms...but it's back to my men’s razor for the rest of shaving needs!

* I received the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor complimentary from Influenster’s VoxBox program for testing and review purposes.

Popped Passion Customized Popcorn Cakes

Life is better popped! * We received a free Valentine's inspired customized popcorn cake in exchange   for our honest review February was a busy month for us. We had our youngest celebrate his 2nd birthday and several other things pop up. Since he was born on the 9th, I don't do much around Valentine's day other than celebrate his birthday and make some treats for the older kiddos. This year was a little different because I made a special mini Valentine's party for the whole family and the kids enjoyed having their very own popcorn cake be the star of the show. Jon (pictured above) thought that this was  HIS  cake and he would not give it up for quite some time. Everyone gathered all around the kitchen island to inspect this cute  Insta-worthy popcorn  that just screams all things Valentine's day and to take a bite already. Since we were just sharing as a family we didn't even bother with cutting into it and just picked p...

* Kitty Kick Stix  was very generous in sending "Bear" & "Hans" their most popular 15" Kick Stix to test and review. While we did receive a product for free, all opinions are entirely my own!  (Our 15" Kitty Kick Stix) Since adopting "Bear" at the end of the year last year, we quickly realized he was no ordinary cat. Here is a short story about his life journey and how he became our kitty. Abandoned as an itty bitty tabby kitten with 1 sibling, they soon were taken in by  Operation Pets Alive . His foster mom bottle fed him and helped him grow into the 5/6 month old kitten we would adopt later on. (Such a cute little kitten he was!) When we met "Bear" for the first time I just knew I had to have him. He was in one of those cat condos in a pet store and I always feel so guilty looking in at the kitties through the window. He seemed to be very playful but also very affectionate. I thought he would be the perfect ...
