Gillette Venus Embrace

If you're a bit squeamish or aren't open-minded  to an honest review you may want to click off lol!!

Okay, so in order to give a good accurate opinion about this razor I decided to grow my leg hair out. Yes this may be a little weird because I'm a lady but at the same time....How can I give an honest review If I haven't clearly used the razor?

Exactly!!!

For this particular review I used Gilette Venus Embrace Olay cartridge.

It took me a whole 3-4 weeks to grow my hair out on my legs. My husband was beyond disgusted but I did this for the sake of a review lol.  I'm of African American descent and I can get pretty ashy and hairy if I wanted to so um don't mind the pictures of my ashy legs lol

Can barely see my tattoo...so hairy Before!

So as you can see in this first picture my hair on my legs is extremely long. It has been this way for like I said 3-4 weeks. Yes, I did go on a dry spell while having my legs this way lol lol.

My wet leg lol...before 2

In this picture I'm showing how long hair is on my leg while wet.

So on to the review.

Let's start with the razor itself. The razor is soft and comfortable to use. It has grips so when you're shaving you won't drop it like you do with other razors...think in term of the plastic disposables. It has five blades so you can get that close shave and two moisture bars. With the razor any Gillette Venus refill fits this so don't don't throw the head away!! This will save you lots of money

When I started shaving I didn't use any shaving cream or soaps to help with the shaving process. I'm glad I didn't because the razor kind of provides all that you need to help get a closer shave. The moisture bars (one on top and one on bottom) kind of lathered my skin which you'll see in the next picture

This is what happens while shaving

The moisture bars really helped my skin feel so soft. I didn't notice any nicks when I shaved with this razor which is a good thing in my opinion. I did feel that the bars kind of got in the way of me shaving to my full potential but overall it did a great job.

Overall my legs look better and feel way smoother. I know my husband will be more than happy that this is over with because who likes to feel man legs on a woman's body!!

I do recommend you go out and get this razor.  My legs are visibly smoother and softer. Now you can see my tattoo without the hair covering it.

Palmolive Fresh Infusions: My favorite Scent

So, I've had a while to test out all the scents that I was sent by Influenster. I must say they all smell wonderfully.  BUT....

My favorite scent out of the whole bunch has to be the Lime Basil. When I first smelled it I brought me back to my childhood. Not when I was stuck in the kitchen washing dishes, but when I was eating. Not dinner but dessert. It smells like lime Jell-O!

It's a very pleasant smell. One that I don't mind in my kitchen. When I first opened the box and used it for the first time I had an everlasting craving for Jell-O. I went to go pick some up from my local grocery store and had a way with it. LOL!

I shared my other scent the Lemon thyme with my mom. She loves anything that smells like lemon so I thought I'd give her that one. When I first took it to her she gave me the "what are you trying to say face" lol. I told her I wasn't throwing hints but was given these to try out and give my opinions on. Like I said in my earlier post, my family has always used Dawn. She called me the next day and was super ecstatic and wanted to buy more bottles. I'm so relieved that she did like it because my mom is one of those types who doesn't like to try anything new and she's super hard to please.

Mom Review: Influenster Palmolive Voxbox

So I qualified for another voxbox. *Yay* This one came as a bit of a surprise because I did the pre-qualification survey and didn't get a confirmation email until after I received the box. It happens sometimes and that's okay.

In this box I received (3) full sized Palmolive dish detergents, a welcome card, and (5) $1.50 off coupons to give to friends.. This comes in handy as I am the primary dishwasher in my home. *Fun fun fun*  On the welcome card it suggests  that you share one dish detergent with a friend and I'll be giving my mother one. The scents are  Ginger White Tea, Lime Basil, and Lemon Thyme. Out of all the scents I fell in love with Lime Basil.

So for this review I'll be mainly covering Lime Basil.


As in any household, I grew up on Dawn. I love Dawn and never strayed away from them. So to get a Dawn addict away from them is a touch shot. Palmolive is one of those detergents that I've tried before and never been too impressed.  So for the sake of this review I did my own little study and I do hope you enjoy it.

Palmolive- Lime Basil

The first test was to see how each bubbled up or foamed up. I use the same amount of hot water with each detergent.








In this test Palmolive won.

Dawn - Original 

The final test is the soaking test. I took two plates that were in my sink for a week *yes, I was a little lazy this week*

**For this test I let one plate soak in PALMOLIVE and one in Dawn for an elapsed time of 5 minutes. Each plate was rinsed off to remove the soap for the photograph to show the results of soaking***

Dawn

Palmolive-Lime Basil

Hands down- Palmolive wins.....I've always used Dawn so I was quite surprised at my findings.  I'm glad I received this product. My house smells better and my dishes are cleaner.
