göt2B POWDER'ful Review

Hello Friends!

Before I even get into the post, I want to apologize about the grainy gross nature of the pictures. I'm not quite sure what is going on with my camera. Le sigh. I also got this product for free from Bzzagent

POWDER'ful is a volumizing styling powder that you apply to the roots of your hair for instant volume. This powder is weightless once you apply it! You practically forget that you put it in your hair!

I've got pretty fine hair that is mostly straight, so it lays pretty flat. This product is ah-maze-ing! The volume i got from it wasn't that crazy, but it's better than what I had previously! What I do want to mention is to use this when your hair isn't a greasy mess, like it is in the pictures. You will still get the volume, but it wont be as "good" as it is when you put it in clean, un-greasy hair. Now if you are looking for big "Jersey" hair (my moms from Jersey) as they call it, this may not be for you. But it's still really good.

BzzAgent Schick Hydro Silk® Razor

Happy Friday! Gorgeous!

So, I really dropped the ball on this review, I really thought I had it already written in my notebook. NOPE! There is a total of 3 actual blog posts written in the notebook and about 10+ pages of nail polish formulas. Shame on me!

Those of you know about BzzAgent (if you don't check out bzzagent.com) what it's about and about the campaigns etc. I fortunately was offered a position in the Schick razor campaign, which I am thankful for because I desperately needed a new one! Chris was getting annoyed because I keep using his! D: (pft men!)

To be completely honest, I am not picky at all about what razor I use. No shame in that, I don't care if it's made for women or men. The only thing that I am really picky about it that it has to have more than 2 blades or I feel like it's pretty useless, but that is just me. This bad boy (or girl) has 5 blades, so I am a pretty happy camper. Since I knew this was coming, but I didn't know when it was going to be here I didn't shave my legs, or anything really because I wanted to test it. No point in getting it then waiting for your hair to grow.. so figure my hair grew for about 2 weeks, it wasn't anything special but it was to the point it was annoying me. I tried to get a picture (gross I know) to show you the length of the hair, but the damn camera wouldn't focus. Oh well! Chris is going to let me test it on him >D Muhahahaha.. lol... but we've not had the time. (busy bees) Enough about my hair legs :P

I was not sure what to expect when it came to this razor honestly. I want to talk about the blade and the handle before I get into anything else. The handle in my opinion is a bit weird, it has a weird angle too it. Not that it is a problem, but it just has a very weird gold, at least for myself it does. The head/blade swivels so it will definitely hug all of your curves and what not when shaving. The sheer size of the head though did worry me. I've found that every time I use a razor with a head that big, I ALWAYS knick my legs without bloody fail. Thankfully, I didn't knick my legs (or anything else for that matter) ONCE with this, kudos for that. As for the whole "moisture strips" thing-a-majigger, I'm not too fond of it. I don't really mind it, but they always dry my legs out more. The moisturizer in this isn't too bad, but I just don't like how it's placed on the head. Honestly, if you don't dry the razor off after you use it, the moisturizer basically dissipates out of the holes. Per the holes, it's kind of gross but their hairs that are small enough to get in, basically COLLECT there. Bloody hell. There isn't even a way to get them out.

As for how the shave was, eh. I had to go over the same spot twice honestly just to get a good shave. There was still a bit of stubble left on my legs after one pass. I'm not disappointed in this razor, I do feel that it has some faults, but all around it is a decent razor. I honestly can deal with the whole having to go over the same spot twice, that doesn't bother me. This does make your legs feel absolutely fantastic, until the moisurizer dries, then I suggest using your own lotion, because my lefts felt like a desert. I did shave every place a woman shaves.. (it needed to be said) to test this out and it was okay. Once again, not my favorite. I did find that this worked fantastically on my underarms, but it made the hair that grew back in other places, kind of uncomfortable, because of the way it cut the hair. We shant say more on that subject.

With that being said. I feel like this razor could be improved on, but it is decent enough for me to continue using and potentially buy new head replacements for. (if they aren't ungodly expensive. I've not looked as of yet.. prices will be at le bottom) I bloomin' hate giving such a meh review about things, which is probably why this has taken me a long time to type, since I never wrote it beforehand. I have used this razor a couple of times (3 times) and the moisture strips at the top and bottom are almost gone. I'm not sure how long they are supposed to last, but they were about half gone after the first use. If that is any type of help regarding the moisturizing aspect. I do want to thank BzzAgent and Schick for giving me the opportunity to try this product!

This retails for between $6-$10 depending on if you buy the one that comes with the shower hanger and extra blade or the one that comes with 1 blade and the handle. The cartridge refiles are around $15. Meh honestly, that's why I don't buy razors that require refills. The prices are extremely too high in my opinion.

Anyways, have you tried this razor before? I'd love to know what your opinions are of this.

BzzAgent - Glade Expressions

Right off of the bat I want to say that I got this item for FREE. I received coupons from BzzAgent (pronounced Buzz) to get this product. I am not being paid or sponsored by BzzAgent or Glade to do this post. All opinions are my own and do not reflect BzzAgent or Glade themselves. 

 

I have never tried anything from the Glade Expressions line before. I have seen them popping up in stores, but have never tried them. I typically am more of a Febreeze kind of girl. I am not kicking my self in the tush for not purchasing them before BzzAgent! These are seriously amazing!

For me however finding the oil diffuser was extremely difficult. I had to drive around to a few stores just to find it. Chris and I actually almost gave up! The fragrance spray was not hard at all to find! The scent I got (in both) was Pineapple Mangosteen. That is the only scent any of the stores around me had, which is okay with me! This scent is amazing. It kind of reminds me of a pina colada. It is a sweet scent, so if you are not fond of those types of scents, I would stay away from the Pineapple Mangosteen.  I am not sure what a mangosteen smells like, but the pineapple in this is VERY distinctive. It is really the only scent I could pick out of it. A sweet smelling pineapple. (yummy!)

I do not find these overpowering at all, the scent is strong enough to where you can smell it when you walk into the room.. or in my case when you walk into the apartment you can smell it! even though it is at the opposite end of the apartment from the door! Baha, I love it though! I have had other oil diffusers that you could NOT smell unless you were right up ontop of it. So, I am very appreciative that this actually "diffuses" the scent into the air where you can smell it.

As for the packaging, these were the starter kits. What do I mean by that?! Well! These bad boys are REFILLABLE! That is something I bloody like.

[slideshow]

As you can see from the slideshow, the oil diffuser (the bamboo one) is very cute! I keep this on the far end of our kitchen table. Why so far? That way the scent has farther to go and can go all over the living room and apartment.

Now this review does not come lightly, if you see in the second picture (the inset taken out) the oil is almost gone, meaning I have tested this for almost a month! Yes, one of these bad boys lasts for up to 30 days. I wanted to wait and do my review that way I could test it and review it appropriately. I really do recommend these! The price is absolutely FANTASTIC!

From what I could tell in my area (the price differs per area) the prices were around $2.68 for the Spray and $6.68 for the oil diffuser.

Now, the reason I have not talked about the spray much is because it is basically the same as the diffuser, except it is in spray form. I love the design of the container. You just give it a squeeze and bam, it sprays. I love that it doesn't have a visible trigger to it. That is one thing I am not fond about with the febreeze. This I do not see breaking easily unless you are unnecessarily rough with it! The spray was also a "starter kit" the bottom unscrews and you give it a bit of a shake and the inner tube pops out and you can just pop a new canister in! I love the design of these. Glade really hit a good spot! Kudos!

Have you tried these before?  I am considering picking up a few more starter kits and doing a giveaway with them. Would you like to see something like that?
