Gillette Venus & Olay Razor: Five Blades And Glitter

Pinky McLadybits

You know what women like? GLITTER. Glitter on their feminine products, glitter in their lotions, glitter on their phones, glitter on packaging and razor handles. GLITTER. Give us glitter and we no longer care that the tampons leak, the glitter lotion doesn't moisturize so well, that the glitter chunks fall off our phones, and that our razors don't actually shave hair properly.

At least that's what I assume the people in charge of products for women must think.

The glittering packaging of the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor proclaims that it "helps replenish skin's moisture" with the moisture bars that flank the top and bottom of their five blades. Maybe that's true. I know that I didn't need to use any shaving lotion in order to keep from nicking up my legs or making the blades run smoothly over my skin. 

Venus and Olay Razors: If You Were Really a Goddess, You Probably Wouldn't Need to Shave At All

The vast number of options that confront women when they’re trying to decide the best way to remove hair from their legs can be staggering when you think about it. It’s a fairly straightforward procedure, but you have chemicals that will dissolve the hair off, waxing to rip it out, electrolysis to kill the hair at the root, and finally shaving where there’s a truly dizzying array of number of blades, style of razors, and creams to assist you in your goal. 

Olay Soothing Cucumber Body Wash: I Smell Like a Damn Garden

I love body washes. Seriously. It takes a regular shower and turns it into a tropical fucking vacation in my mind before I have to face the reality of a crap annoying day job filled with dealing with jerks and enough paperwork to take down an inebriated giraffe. 

The collection of body washes in my bathroom is staggering and, as I was rummaging around for my next scent, I came upon Olay's Soothing Cucumber infused with avocado oil. It seemed good; a moisturizing body wash with a fresh scent to send me off to work perky and ready to take on the world and not kill any co-workers.

I don't know about the rest of you, dear readers, but I'm just terrible at keeping a facial routine. When I do remember to wash my face, it's usually just after a wank while swimming in a pool of sweat, runny eye makeup and regrets.

Then I started experimenting with actual face-scrubbers. I started with the Wave and found it to be quite good. Then, as I tend to do, I forget about it, and got annoyed that I had to switch the cleansing pads every single time, so I chucked it out. Yep, you heard me right. I threw it away. 20-ish dollars in the trash.

So then I was obviously in the market for a new facial cleanser!

Love the Skin You're In - Even in Winter!

Author: Lainey

I love fall and winter – really, I even love winter, but one thing I don’t love in winter is my skin.  I have dry skin.  I mean DRY dry skin.  It’s gross.  And itchy.  It’s not fun.  I have tried all of the different lotions, potions, and oils I could get my dry, chubby hands on and until now, it’s been pointless.  I shower, put on lotion afterward (while freezing my ass off and doing a crappy job, because I want to hurry up and get in my jammies), and it either sticks to my clothing or it works for an hour or two and then back to the itching and dryness.  I’ve also tried the oil that you put on when you’re still wet from the shower – hello, broken hip!  Yeah, that just mostly got my shower floor slippery.
