Skintimate Cream Shave [Not a Gel] Review

Hello Ladies! I know I said I was moving out of the beauty products world and into just doing a regular blog but I couldn't help but give a review on this. Most of the reviews I've read are negative. People seem to really hate this cream because it's that, a cream, not a gel. Well I'm here to set you all straight! 

Skintimate Cream Shave:
I picked this bottle up for FREE at CVS by using a $1 off manufacturer's coupon and a $1 off CVS coupon. Score! 

This was my first time using a "cream" shave product. I've always stuck with just the gel ones because....well, I don't know. HaHa!

Anyway, This smells exactly like flower petals. I'm not sure I'd say I loved the smell but it was better than a full on rose garden which I know some shave gels do smell like that. I'm more of a passion fruit or candy smelling product type of girl.

Most people complained about this product being more of a lotion form than a shaving product. I don't fully agree with that. It comes out of the container like a lotion but when you spread it on your legs, arms or underarms, it's more of a satiny smooth cream rather than a lotion that pretty much goes on and doesn't hardly wipe off.

I personally didn't see anything wrong with this shave cream. It doesn't lather up like that of the gel form but it does spread really nicely and you don't have to use a ton.

I did hear a lot of people complaining about getting more nicks and cuts with this over the gel form. I didn't seem to have a problem using this cream. I have no nicks or cuts and it did make my legs really soft afterwards due to the vitamin E and soy.


 Would I buy this product again? I probably would, as long as there was another scent I could get. This scent does leave a nice, clean smell on you but like I said above....I <3 candy and fruity smells over flowery smells.

I don't see why I wouldn't buy this product again. The negative reviews on this didn't really pop up when I was using it. Therefore, I see no reason in why someone else couldn't fall in love with this shave cream. If you're out and about and need a new shave cream, try this one and let me know what your opinions are, you might just like it too!

Packaging:

I'd have to say that I actually like the packaging. It has a cut flower pop-open opening and it's made entirely of plastic.

Sometimes I don't like the can ones because if they fall on your feet, it hurts! This will still hurt but not as much! Big perk!

 Product [Texture]:

The cream comes out of the tube nicely and the consistency is that of a lotion. However, less thick.

The overall texture of this cream is smooth. I know some creams kind of have a rougher texture to them, this one does not. It's smooth all the way through!

The End:

Overall, this is a great product. Others may think differently than I do but in the end, it's all based on what you, the consumer, thinks!

No one can tell you "oh hey, that product sucks" because in the end it could have sucked for them and it could be the best thing ever for you. Each one of us is different and we are affected differently by different products. I hope you all enjoyed my review. Let me know if you've used this product and also what you think about this product!

Shower Basics: Body Wash & Razors

So I've decided to start a new series on my blog dedicated to shower basics. Here I'll review shower products such as body washes, razors, shampoos, conditioners and more! In full detail you'll learn about the products used, what's great about them and also what's bad about them. I hope you all enjoy! **Let me know if this is a series I should keep or ditch**

The first product I'd like to tell you about is the Nivea Touch of Happiness body wash.

This was on sale a couple of weeks ago at CVS and I happened to have a MF coupon for $3.00 off. I couldn't help but purchase this since it was only $0.88! That's a bargain, considering these retail for anywhere from $4.00-$7.99.

The scent I purchased is Orange Blossom & Bamboo Essence. The smell is to die for! It smells just like oranges with a touch of sweetness from something else. I can't really describe the sweetness part. The great thing about this body wash is that the citrus smell isn't harsh. I don't know about you but I'd smelled some really harsh citrus body washes and lotions. This is mild but such a great smell. 

It says it foams without a loofah and it does. It's also really smooth and since it moisturizes, your skin feels super soft. I love it.

On a rating scale of 1-10, 1 being horrible 10 being amazing.

My rating: 10!

My next product to review with you is the Shick Hydro 5 razor.

I don't know if any of you are like me and are super picky about what razor you use. I know I am the worst when it comes to razors. I want something that cuts close but doesn't end up hacking me to pieces. I also want something that's smooth and glides easily.

I've always had a problem with disposable razors. (I HATE THEM). So when I got this razor, it was love. <---I know ... weird. Anyway, I had wanted to try this razor out from day one. It's supposed to be a "guys" razor but they always end up being the best razors. I got a free shick hydro one day when my boyfriend ordered some parts for his bike from danscomp. They actually throw in a free razor with every purchase. Which is a little weird but hey, I love free stuff. Not only was it free but each one I got has coupons on the back for $3.00 off razor refills and $0.50 off shaving gel.

Now, you're probably wondering what is so special about this razor. Well, this razor has a strip of hydrating gel at the top of the razor. I've tried other razors that have the gel on the top but they never really worked right. This one actually works and you don't hardly have to use shower gel or soap when using it because it glides across your skin with ease. Not only that, but it's perfect for a certain area that's sensitive (the lady region). 

If you're tired of getting cut up, this is the razor for you. I recommend it to any of you!

 My rating: 10!

I hope you all enjoyed this new series and let me know what you think and if you've used these products before.
