Product of the Day… Schick Quattro

SP Bragg — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:06:03 +0000

You might think that all women’s razors are created equal. Trust me… they’re not. Just tried Schick Quattro for Women last night and I’m impressed. *One of the first thing that I look for is how it feels in your hand. The weight is perfect and it’s not going to slip out of your hand in the middle of your bath or shower. You really don’t want that to happen now do you?? There is also two conditioning strips, but I wasn’t expecting that each strip would feature different conditioners. One is aloe and the other is Vitamin E and B5, which makes for a very smooth and silky shave.

Another feature is that each cartride contains four blades which means that you should be able to shave each section of your leg ONCE. Gone are the days when you have to go over the same area several times. Don’t you hate that!! I want the process to be as quick as possible. I have a lot of things to accomplish in one given day. The faster I can cross things off my list the better!!

You are also going to like that the head pivots. That means no nicks as you shave the knee area. Definitely been there and done that!

*In short, you are going to love this razor. It does everything it promises and I like that!!

Thursdays at Sephora – What Everyone Is Looking At

I love Sephora but I have to admit that walking into the store is a bit overwhelming, so I decided to do a weekly feature about what shoppers are checking out. Here’s what’s hot today!

The Clarisonic Skincare Brush
Okay, just for a moment think about what a cleanser and a facecloth can do to rid your face of dust, oil and makeup. You might think that it’s doing the job, but for a moment just consider this brush. It uses a gentle back and forth movement with bristles that move more than 300 times A SECOND. Certainly can’t do that with a facecloth. It also claims to remove 6x the makeup that is still sitting on your skin after cleansing. Now that is a scary thought.

*Set includes: A Clarisonic brush and charger, one sensitive brush head, and a 2 oz Daily Cleanser.

Now I have one concern…

When are they going to upgrade the product? This happened to me with the Sonicare® toothbrush which is made by the same company. Suddenly the heads could not be found and if I had wanted to continue with their product, I would have had to buy a brand new charger and re-designed toothbrush head.

So, while I am impressed with the fact that it probably can do a much better job of cleaning out my pores and I do have ULTRA OILY skin, I’m a little dubious about spending the $195.00 for the starter kit.

In Love With Moisturizers

SP Bragg — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:54:13 +0000

Dexie over at StyleItLess has this thing with moisturizers and after reading today’s post, I think she just might have pulled me over to her side. I do love Body Butters, but at the moment, I seriously considering placing a bottle of moisturizer on my desk. I hate what the indoor air does to your skin. Just sucks the moisture right out… and that’s definitely not a good thing! Gloves in a Bottle… here I come, thanks to Dexie.

Needed…Pretty Toes

At the moment, I’m wearing flip flops… at last!!!, but that also means that my feet are suddenly on show and I didn’t like what I was seeing earlier today. My feet are BIG TIME DRY! They definitely need some TLC and anything that has to do with chocolate will catch my attention within seconds. So, on a hot summer day (which I hope is right around the corner, what could be more pampering than slathering your feet with Frrrozen Hot Chocolate cream…

It’s working for me! Off to find a chocolate popsicle to go with it.
