Angel Shave Box ~ Shaving subscription for Ladies

*pr sample*



I like subscription boxes, how about you? Now let me tell you of this awesome box I recently discovered. Where you ask? Instagram of course. Instagram is amazing platform to discover new brands and meet amazing people.



Angel Shave Club is one of the brands. They are a subscription box for ladies razors. They are the first online boutique subscription shave club design for women. They razors they offer a high quality. When you sign up you get to choose:
* razor color (pink or blueish-grey)
* Blades option (3 or 6 blades in box of 8)



The box I got its cute and pink ;) I'm such a girly girl so everytime I see pink I get so excited. My box contained:
* two razors
* box of 8 blades
* Shave souffle
Not bad huh?



The razor is amazing. Just be very careful blades are really sharp. Me being clumsy and all I cut myself really bad and till now I have a small scar.But yeah I have to be careful with that. The razor itself is really comfortable. Gives a close shave, Goes on smooth, easy and fast.
Now I did get the razor bumps almost everytime I shave, too be honest I don't know if it have to do with a razor or the shaving gel. I run out of my favorite Completely Bare Gel so I found CVS brand shave gel in my cabinet. I did try the souffle as well. It is really hard in consistency but once you rub it in , it will foams up. Its not bad I did like it.It does smells sgood tho.



Overall I am pleased with this box I think it better then any drugstore razors and affordable as well.
As I mention before you can choose from :
* Little Lady comes with 3 blades razor
* The Angel comes with 6 blade razor ( This is the one I have)
Each comes with a handle (color you choose) and box of 8 blades to refill, all for just $9 a month.
You pay for two months in advance and you select how often you want the box to be ship to you.
FYI shipping is free!

Whishes Come true ~ Whish Body Care ~ Review

*pr sample*




We did talk a lot about skin care lately so now lets jump into body care. 
I found Whish on my IG. I like look at new brands that I not known of and they happen be one of them. I am so happy to have try 3 products out of their line;
* Body Oil
* Shave Cream
* Self Tanner.



Whish Body Oil ~ there is 9 scents to choose form : pomegranate, almond, Lemongrass, lavender, blueberry, coconut, acai grapefruit, perfectly plain and blue agave. I choose pomegranate. I love this oil because it adds extra moisture to my skin. It is a great addition in my shower routine. Leaves my skin moisturized, feeling smooth and super soft.

 It contains 4 moisturizing and soothing oils:
* sesame seed oil ~ antioxidant that also moisturize tissue deep beneath the skin
* sunflower seed oil ~ retains moisturize and keep skin form drying out 
* olive leaf extract ~ high in flavonoids and oleanolic acid, that is natural skin soother
* jojoba seed oil ~ is natural emollient to help keep skin supple and soft and maintain moisture.

I love to apply it right after i shower. And sometimes I use it along with The Righteous Body Butter form soap and glory.  The oil comes in a nice sized glass bottle with a pump. The pump gives you the right amount of oil :) just fyi you have to clean the bottle, I do so after each use. I take a damp cloth and clean the bottle with it. It gets oily some how. I really enjoy massaging it into my skin. feels silky and luxurious. It's non greasy (which is a plus), it sinks into the skin and leaves it glowy looking. 
Like I mention before I choose pomegranate scent and it does smell divine! Summery and super fresh. 
The oil does not have any parabens, is sulfate free, phthalate free, DEA and TEA free, not tested on animals and comes in eco friendly packaging. 





Whish Shave Crave Shave Cream ~ this thick whip provides close, moisturize shave with non drying foam. it is available in same 9 scents as body oil that I mention above. I picked again pomegranate. 

The cream is locked in airless pump. Its is made of :
* Natural Squalene ~ which is source of Omega 3 fatty acids, it replenishes and hydrates to eliminate roughness and dryness. 
* Organic Shea Butter ~ high content of non-saponifiable fats, which are the best natural skin moisturizers and high in antioxidants
* Organic Raspberry Butter ~ high in antioxidants,  great moisturizer.
* organic Green Tea ~ natural antioxidant , protects skin form free radicals 
* Organic Coconut Oil ~ high in antioxidants and coconut acid, provides deep moisture and keeps skin looking healthy, and beautiful. 
* Organic Jojoba Seed oil ~ keep skin supple and soft and maintain moisture. 

I really like the close shave I get with it. It is non foaming and might be a bit harder to work with. I just hate when it gets stuck between razor blades. other then that I been really enjoying it. Leaves my legs smooth and moisturized with out the nasty razor bumps! Ughhh! don't you just hate them ? I know I do and with this baby I don't get hem any more. This shave cream makes my top 3 best shave creams I tried.  Like I said it provides a great moisture and you don;'t need to apply body lotion after. I do. I actually go over it with the body oil :) 
I love ti and next time I want to try Blueberry one , I see a lot of people like that one so yeah why not! The bottle is big and it will last your for some time (depends how much you use it).





Coconut Milk Self Tanner ~  can you believe this is my first time trying self tanner? I usually go for the sun or tanning place to get some tan. I didn't know what to expect and how to use it ! and I know some tanner stain hands so I was afraid this one will do it too.  although the smell is amazing he tanner itself didn't work for me. The formula is nice and not too runny. It as easy to massage into the skin. But that's it. I don;t know if  the weather or what but next day I had ugly orange streaks on my legs that didn't want to wash off... Or maybe I applied it wrong? I really don't know, I did have to cover my legs instead wear dresses :( another thing is i am really pale, and maybe that was another reason tanner didn't look good on me? Advice anyone? I really want it to work .
I tried on my tanned friend and she loved it ...
Tanner can be purchased at Whish website
Price $30


Buff Her ~ Foaming Food Facial scrub in Strawberry Lemon




Who doesn't like facial scrubs? Well I am a big fun of it :) And if you are too then keep on reading.

I actually want to talk to you about Foaming Food Facial Scrubs by Buff Her. 
Good exfoliation is a staple in a every skin care. Buff Her unique facial food scrubs are handcrafted form natural, organic fruits and veggies. Yes all the ingredients are organic and you can recognize them. Such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, honey and even coffee. 
Out of three scrubs I have form them I will only focus on one for now. 

I been using Strawberry Lemon Foaming food scrub for a while now. Like I said I have 3 different ones but I only opened one for now. First off the packaging is really good. Glass jar that holds 3.25 oz (96g) of product is in. After you open the lid, it smells like a heaven gate to strawberry fields. I can even say how good it smells! Strawberry lemon cupcakes! Oh I know! Long time ago I bought a strawberry cake mix, I think form Duncan Hines. After baking cupcakes the whole house smelled like freshly baked strawberry goodies. This scrub actually smells even better! I think the combo of lemon and strawberries makes it so yummy! plus both ingredients are super for breakouts! Strawberries contains salicylic acid, that is main ingredient in any acne medication. 
I remember when I first used it, my face was so red! I went a bit overboard and scrub the heck out of my face. Imagine that! After I went over with my moisturizer and my skin felt so smooth and tight! After that I been using this scrub once a week and hell I love my skin! 
Each container get you at least 200 uses! That is a lot! Plus i t is super easy to use ;) scoop desire amount ( a little goes a long way) into your wet hands rub it together and then apply to your face in circular motion. You can use it either water or your favorite cleanser with it. 
Buff Her scrub is the best one I ever used! I really been loving. Some scrubs, face mask etc . breaks me out. But not with this one. This feels really good and smells so delicious! it makes me wanna bake! 
Later I will be doing review on Milk and Honey  and Vanilla Almond Scrubs. I didn't open them yet so they need to wait their turn. Hopefully they won't wait long ;)
Check Buff Her website. There is a plenty scrubs and flavors to choose from. Go with your skin type to get a perfect match ;)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin



I thought I do a separate post on my body, face care favorites.
As you can see there are products I reviewed already or will be reviewing. 

Borika Body and Flora Body Care Scrubs ~ Both I reviewed already and both I loved as much. One is coffee and the other one is sugar scrub. Both do a great job of scrubbing my body and leaving it refreshed and soft :) Totally recommend to check both of them :)
my reviews are here----> BORIKA -  FLORA

Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in A thousand Wishes ~  If you k ow me you know my love for all the BBW products. Love their lotions and shower gels and candles and mist and soaps.. and anything else ! hahaha Too many 'ands' :) but seriously their lotions are amazing! This one I won in a giveaway and I opened it recently! Smells heavenly .. fruits and flowers :)  Keeps my skin hydrated and leaves it silky smooth. Love it!

Peter Lamas Pumpkin Scrub ~ I think the best scrub I used so far. I did a review a  while back. You can read it here. Its organic and natural , smells like a Fall :) I will definitely purchase a backup! 

Dermaesthetics Green Apple Cleansing Oil and PM Purity Gel ~   both products are amazing! The cleansing oil helps me get rid off all the makeup and super easy. Works really good especially on my eye makeup. Purity PM Gel I used on my acne. Like the pimple/zits that pops up out of nowhere! I just put a tiny bit of gel after washing my face and voila, next morning or its gone or its way smaller. Both are a life savers and I will be reviewing both very soon :)

Have a great week!

Coconut Vanilla Body Scrub by Flora Body Care




Lets talk body scrubs. 
I personally love any kind of body scrubs. And recently I been into all organic coffee scrubs. They are really good! But this sugar scrub stole my heart :)  I just want to eat it! Guys it smells so delicious
This scrub is like no other I ever tried. Its addicting. 

It is made by company Flora Body Care. They are based in Canada. All their products are made with natural ingredients, hand created and cruelty free. 
Sounds great huh? They do ship worldwide so I suggest get your sugar or coffee scrub :) 
They do offer two flavors to choose form :
Vanilla Coconut (sugar scrub)
Coffee Hazelnut (coffee scrub)
I haven't try their coffee scrub so I will tell you how I like, no excuse me ...Love this sugar vanilla scrub.
Like I said it is made with natural ingredients, and it smells so delicious that instead of scrubbing my body I wan to eat it!  Both scents are equally matched.  My mom used to make a raffaello cake and smells just like that! Reminds me of that cake or should I say the cream and the candy itself! and If you know me this is my favorite candy :) It also smells like Christmas .. don't laugh or roll your eyes on me. You know the Christmas cookies ... I think they called Sugar Cookies? Yes that's the smell right in this bag :) 
 No wonder I want to eat it.... I have send my husband to the store ...now... and he better get me box of Raffaello or sugar cookies :)

How to use it : Just rub a handful into wet skin and leave it for 5 min. After that rinse with water. And voila ! Yous skin is super smooth and soft. It really feels good and refreshed. I don't scrub often. Twice a week the most. 
Another thing, sugar scrubs can be harsh but this one is perfect for me :) 
Love the way it exfoliate my skin. 
I am pretty sure I be purchasing soon another one. Feels like Christmas on Tropical Island .. Literally.

Here is the website so you can CLICK and BUY one for your self. And Since Christmas is so close it can be a perfect gift or a stocking stuffer :)
Trust me I would be happy If you give me this scrubby for Xmas :)

If I ever have to describe the smell ... That would be it ~ Raffaello :) The best candy in the world.
