Venus & Olay Razor

Also in my February VoxBox was this amazinggggg Venus and Olay razor.  I have been needing a new razor, so this came at the perfect time! This razor is available at www.gillettevenus.com.  I received this product complimentary for purposes of review.

"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 will be available starting March 15, 2012 at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States."

I have to tell you that this razor is the best I've ever had, no joke.  The moisture bars are fantastic and leave you with such a smooth and painless shave.  I have had zero razor rash or irritation after using this and honestly, you don't even need soap or shave gel.  It is that smooth and moisturizing. I am in love!

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

Also in my February Vox Box from Influenster, I received a sample pack of Truvia. The Truvia website is www.truvia.com  I had heard of Truvia before but never given it a try.  The Vox Box from Influenster was sent to me complimentary for purposes of review.  I am a big coffee drinker but often am angry at myself for the amount of sugar I dump in.  This was a perfect substitute! The taste was still noticeably sweet, but a much healthier alternative.  I will definitely purchase Truvia again!

Kiss Nail Dress

For those of you that know me, you know I love all things nails! Trying out new polishes, new designs, new trends, bold colors, anything!  I recently received the Feburary Vox Box from an awesome site called Influenster.  You sign up and receive a box in the mail for free (once you unlock badges and agree to review and promote the items upon receipt) filled with new products to try!  My favorite product from the February box were the Kiss Nail Dress.


"Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Where to Buy
Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens."

Sorry for the not so great quality webcam photo!


I received multiple compliments on these nails from both family members and complete strangers.  They are so easy to apply and are very durable.  I love them and can't wait to try out more designs!
