Gillette has always been my go to expensive razor brand I don't usually splurge because I feel like cheapy razors get the job done as well. I don't shave my legs too often only when I need to and i'm wearing like a dress. But I have also been known to Nair my whole body so again buying expensive razors is not to much of a priority. So then how is my Gillette my go to brand well when I have some extra cash I like to get a good razor and this is only when its spur of the moment and I don't have time to Nair. So this is where this little beauty comes in, it's in a compact! Need I say more? It's small enough to fit into a makeup bag. It says all you have to do is wet it and go. Now I've only tried this in the shower, because I needed to shave my legs and I was itching to shave them and try this one out. Yes while I get a decent shave with cheap razors this provided smoothness and didn't leave my skin all dry like the cheap brands. I did my research at local Drugstore this runs anywhere from $8-$11, which seems a little pricey compared to the standard 8 razors for $3 I usually get. All Venus cartridges fit all Venus razor handles according to them. Meaning you can snap on your favorite Venus Razor Head on to this little compact razor. The replacement heads are suppose to last up to a month, but like how often are you suppose to shave in a month? Because I only shave my legs like once a month if even that. LOL mostly because I only shave when I really have to I'm weird that way. So i'm going to say it last maybe ten uses a month I don't know of anyone who shaves their legs daily. I pluck my armpit hairs, and I usually Nair my bikini area. I find this short razor handle seems easier to control so I love the travel size, it also fits comfortably in your hand due to the width of the handle. So over all it's an awesome little razor and i'll consider getting some new Razor Heads to keep this in my purse forever in case mood ever strikes and I feel like wearing a skirt or get invited somewhere fancy. :) Thanks influenster for sending me this little travel razor I'm sure I'll get some good use of it in vegas next week. Who knows maybe it'll motivate me to wear dresses more and shave my legs more often then once a month.
I am not being paid for this review. Influenster is a free site that sends you freebies to review if you like them. you are not obligated to review them in a positive way.
When you think carnivals you think clowns and Mimes and Freakshows hehe well I guess I decided to take Freakshow too literally for this EDC Look hehe oh well there's a darkside to anyone.
Primer- Rimmel London Stay Matte
Mehron Special FX Moonlight white NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil- Milk
Sugarpill-Tako
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette- One eye had: Blackout, Snakebite, and Tease
Naked 2 Palette- Bruised Eye: Blackout, Y2K, Tease
BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 1st edition Reds and blacks for the bruising
(and the black to contour my cheeks with with was also from the BH cosmetics because it's not as pigmented or dark as if i were to have used blackout from UD Naked 2. Think UD Perversion eyeshadow vs UD Blackout eyeshadow for reference.)
Some translucent powder to blend the contour.
Essence Gel Liner in Midnight Black
Mehron Stage Blood
Eyelashes I think are Creme 38 I don't have the box with me -.- but any long kinda pointy ones will do. The focus was more on the mouth and the bruised bloody eye anyway.
I think that's it :)
Hope you enjoyed my Freakshow EDC look. wanted to do something other then the happy look everyone else does!
Who's ready for EDC, and well not just EDC this is also geared towards other Insomniac related events cough cough Beyond Wonderland.
This look is completely easy and fun to recreate I've worn this eyeshadow look even without the stripes to other events just because I love the bright highlighter yellow shadow and the BH cosmetics glitter.

This lipstick was sent to me Via Influenster in their UniVoxBox. Looking for good affordable lipsticks is important to me. Why because A. I hardly wear lipsticks. So I hardly finish a tube before it goes bad. and B. I feel like as far as lips are concerned I can make due with cheaper products I don't need a $20 dollar lipstick unless it is something SO SO unique that it is impossible to find the color elsewhere. Sure it would be nice but i'm more of a person that thinks well if I can buy a $20 lipstick save another $20 and by myself a good makeup palette.
So I LOVE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS for this reason.
These new NYC lipsticks are bomb their staying power was good and it left a good stain afterwards so that was nice. This color was insanely bright. It has a creamy finish. It reminds me of Fuchsia Flash from Maybellines vivid line which is the dupe for the coveted MAC Candy Yum Yum.
The reason I added that little screen shot from the influenster site is because I thought it was spelled Fuchsia but they spell it Fushia so i don't know, and whilst i'm writing this I do not have the tube on me to check.
Whateves lets get to the checklist!
Pros:
It's a really creamy texture, the smell is nice, its like a hint fruitlike but not over powering. Once the color fades it leave a really nice stain behind.
Cons:
It bleeds sometimes. So applying a lip liner will help that or concealing the area around the lips to form a barrier helps as well. You must exfoliate lips or it will settle into lip lines. I get this a lot with most lipsticks but just saying exfoliation helps.
This box was sent to my by influenster. It contained 3 nail polishes of beautiful colors.
Have tried two so far and I've got to say they're alright.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Jaded is a creme finished texture thing. Took four coats to be completely opaque first and second coat were a bit streaky. Fixed some of the streakiness with the third coat. But didn't get the opacity I wanted until the fourth coat. As for long lasting ehh it was decent but every nail polishes chips on me the difference between this and other nail polishes is that it claims long wear and didn't deliver. They chipped within two days possibly because it took like four coats to build up making it thicker making it more chipable. but with out the four coats it would've looked gross without the four coats the color wasn't opaque and came off streaky. It also claimed i needed no base coat or top coat, maybe then it wouldve lasted on me but again the color pay off was poor and it would've been disgustingly thick with a base coat and top coat to improve longevity. Regardless the color is beautiful, even though I can only wear it for two days.
The color Pat on the black had longer wear time but still chipped within a 5 day period on me. The initial coat was streaky and not opaque. the second coat made it better but i can still see discoloration from it's streaky nature after that so i sealed it with a third coat. Still didn't live up to the 10 day claim the card influenster sent me with the box. but oh well maybe its just me. The color was nice very dark plum purple but it wasnt something unique this color was just your standard creme finish again. I didnt take a picture of it again because it wasnt anything unique but i like that its in my possession has a nicer shiny finish with out a clear top coat. So that's okay. Red my Lips is a beautiful bright red looks really shiny its a nice creme finished red. I only needed two coats. wasn't streaky with the first but felt like I needed a thicker coverage with one more coat, I am loving this one! Just painted my nails yesterday will update with how long it wears later. if you have any questions feel free to tweet me @yvettegarza Thanks influenster and Sally Hansen for the TKO Voxbox with these three Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes. with the first three then ended up well with the fourth.
