Smooooooooth

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.


Of course, I am talking about the Venus Embrace for Sensitive skin.  I don't know about YOU but I have a lot of problems with my legs.  I using shaving cream, lotions, expensive razors... all of it and I still end up with bumpy skin that itches and burns.  I can't even put (most) lotions on my legs for at least 24 hours after shaving.  Yea... it's bad...

So Influenster is awesome and sent me the Venus Embrace Sensitive VoxBox which came with the Venus Embrace Sensitive razor and refill.  I was skeptical because... really it's very rare that something works on my legs.  Anyways... I wait a day or two to get some stubble going and give it a shot.  

First thing about this razor you will notice is that it is super comfy.  It has a nice cushy, gel grip that makes it almost impossible to drop or slip.  Then you take the first stroke.  "Ok, pretty smooth.  Glides really nice... let's keep going."  Now let me tell you it feels great it has the strips above and below the blades and then the surrounding bar to help keep you moisturized before and after the blades hit your leg.  It definitely did the job.  One draw back, I am used to using men's 5 blade razors because my leg hairs can be kind of stubborn, and this one did not get as close of a shave as I am used to.  That led to me having to shave again the next day.  

Shaving two days in a row???? On my legs???? Yea right!  Well I tried it anyway... and it was not as bad as usual.  My legs still don't like it but I don't get the red, itchy bumps that I can't stop itching.  Weird thing, I actually have to NOT use shaving cream.... knowing my luck, the shaving cream irritates my legs.

annies mac n cheese, ponds bb+ creme, and dr scholls inserts

So,  I received all 3 of these products complimentary from Influenster in my Mama VoxBox. Which yes I llove this box!   So this is my first box and I got all 3 of these products and the BelVita cookie.   So I wanted to tell you guys a little about the three I mentioned above.

First,  Annies microwavable Mac n cheese.   Probably the best microwavable Mac n cheese.   It was a rice based noodle so it was gluten free and it was delicious! ! The sauce had the usual  consistency of a  microwavable Mac n cheese cup.  Almost creamy but kind of plasticy at the same time?? But the sauce tasted great and the noodles were great too.  A bit soggy but i am sure with a bit of microwave adjustments it could probably be fixed.

Now,  Ponds BB+ CREME.   The light creme worked good for me and I really liked it.   It was lightweight so it didn't feel like anything was even on.   It also covered up a bit but since it is so lightweight you may need something a little heavier for the big blemishes.

Dr Scholls for her gel inserts.   I was super excited about these!   I have been wanting to try them and finally HERE THEY WERE!   SO I gotta say they definitely serve their purpose.   They made an uncomfortable pair of shoes bearable!   They have a shock absorber as well to help a busy lady like me stay on her feet all day!
