Slowly Returning To Calm and Sanity: Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care™ Razor (review)

Very slowly. Thanks to all of you who have been patient – and for all the cute notes. This summer is full of fabulous activitivies, and awesome self-discovery, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to discover everything. Plus, people keep visiting. Which means I have to clean stuff. It turns out that cleaning also cuts way into discovery and blogging time.

I took on far too many things this summer, and it looks like I need to sit down and figure out how to shave some time off all my obligations. But today...I finally have enough peace, quiet and relative sanity to write a beauty review. And speaking of shaving (heh!), here’s something for your pretty summer legs. From Schick.

Intuition Naturals Sensitive Care


Blurb: Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care™ razor has a Skin Conditioning Solid™ that contains 100% natural Aloe with Vitamin E, and is fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so it's gentle on your skin and helps reduce irritation. Now gentler on the environment with 100% recyclable packaging made with recycled materials!

Somehow Schick keeps managing to hit home runs with their products. I’m a huge fan of the Quattro for Women razors, and I was really eager to try this. And because of the design, I thought it would be perfect for traveling. It was!

The first bit of genius is that I don’t need to use any shaving cream. The Skin Conditioning Solid™ that surrounds the blades lathers up while shaving. I not only appreciated not having to bring along an extra bath product; but the convenience of having the shave cream already in the razor also meant I didn't have to find a spot for the shave cream in the teensy hotel shower. The Aloe and Vitamin E also did a nice job of moisturizing.

The razor has an easy-to-grip rubber handle, and a pivoting head. It also comes with a shower hanger and cap. It's unbelievably convenient and portable. Gym bag, overnight trips, long vacations – you name it.

And…I got an excellent, close shave! Awesome!

Take a look at the website. There are some other great looking products as well. Schick products are sold in grocery stores, drugstores and places like Ulta, Walgreens, CVS, duane reade, and drugstore.com.

And…since I’ve been gone MIA for so long…here’s a nice video. Some 1960’s mod angst. The video sequence is a little strange, but this version had the best sound. And it might help wake you up if you have the Monday blahs…Enjoy!

Doubles (Hair Care) Friday #1: Conair You Style™ 2in1 Brush & Pro 2-inch Spin Air Brush (review & GIVEAWAY!)

Time for a May Giveaway! In honor of Doubles Week, I’m reviewing and giving away two fab hair care tools. From Conair.

You Style™ 2in1 Brush

Blurb: New Technology...The Conair You Style™ brush is actually two brushes in one. Start with a flat brush for everyday brushing. Use for blow-dry styling to straighten and smooth hair. Slide the button and collapse the sides to convert to a rounded brush. Get added lift at roots. Create soft waves or finish ends to curl under or flip up. Go from style to finish!

Pro 2-inch Spin Air Brush

Blurb: Releases up to 100X more concentrated ions than ions created from natural sources, to help reduce frizz and enhance shine! Volumizes and shines as you dry. Ceramic technology safely dries and promotes healthy hair. Faster, smoother hair, less frizz. 2 heat settings plus cool setting for all hair types. Multidirectional brush rotates in both directions to volumize and shine.

Conair has really got some fine items. The You Style Brush is a great idea. I found it very easy to use (and appreciated the boar/nylon bristle combo). And it really did go from flat to round brush with just a simple push of a button. A great way to avoid having (or travelling with) two brushes. Nicely done!

I was most eager to try the Spin Air Brush; but I had to wait until all of the holiday hoopla was over so I could have time to play with it. And play with it I did! It was like having a new toy (a toy that gave me pretty hair). I tried using it with both wet and damp hair, and found it worked much better with damp hair.

This item gets tons of points for being user-friendly. After about 2 minutes I was familiar with the buttons; and after another 5 minutes, I felt perfectly at ease using them. There are three heat settings (high, low and cool), and you can control the spin function with the touch of a finger. What I especially love is that you can spin the brush in either direction, and quickly stop the spinning just by letting go! The bristles are soft, but grabbed my hair and wrapped it around the barrel without any tangling.

Did I mention it was easy to use?

Not only was it was it easy, I got a wonderful blowout. My hair was very smooth, shiny and it was easy to get both volume (by holding the brush at the roots) and pretty curled ends (by letting the brush spin for an extra few seconds at the ends). I love this!

And…the folks at Conair are partnering with me for a GIVEAWAY! One lucky reader is going to win both the 2in1 Brush and the Spin Air Brush!

How to enter: Send an email to me at ifeelpretty@comcast.net with a comment about any of 2011 posts. Put "Conair Giveaway" in the subject line; and put the post title (and your comment) in the body of the email. You have as many chances to win as I have posts (just send each one in a separate email).

I'll accept entries through Saturday, May 14 (11:59pm Eastern), and I’ll email the winner on Sunday, May 15. The winner will have 72 hours to respond. If no response, I’ll move to the next randomly selected person. U.S. residents only and GOOD LUCK!

Even Happier Tuesday: Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System (review)

Tomorrow it’s back to work, but today I’m all smiley and floaty. Even though it may be hectic tomorrow, right now I’m feeling relaxed, grateful and happy. And…mighty pretty too. Today’s lovely item is from Olay.

Advanced Cleansing System

Blurb: Designed by the Olay Professional Alliance for Skin Care Innovation, a group of renowned dermatologists and Olay Scientists, the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System provides gentle cleansing and exfoliation, removes dry skin cells and promotes cell turnover at a fraction of the cost as compared to a more expensive professional cleansing system. The tool’s micro-massaging action helps maximize the immediate hydrating effectiveness of your anti-aging moisturizer.

I’ve been a gigantic fan of Olay’s Professional Pro-X everything since I tried it almost two years ago (here’s the review). I was already prepared to like this Cleansing System, and I was not disappointed.

First – it’s a tremendous value! It comes with a 2-speed facial cleansing brush (with replaceable/refillable brush head), 2 batteries, and a small tube of Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser. The only thing I wished it had were directions; but after a couple of minutes I figured out how to insert the batteries (pull and jiggle), and that that top button was the on/off switch, and the bottom button was the speed selector.

It works wonderfully! The quality is excellent, the brush felt lovely, and cleaned gently. The Cleanser worked very well, and my face was perfectly clean. The gentle vibrations also livened up my skin as well. The brush is well made, fits nicely in my hand, and is water resistant (so you can take it in the shower). Also…its small size, and the fact that it uses batteries (instead of a charger) makes it perfect for travel.

Oh, and the price tag is just under $30. Once again…A+ Olay!

There’s much more information on the website. You can also check out the entire (fabulous) Professional Pro-X line, the Learn About Skin Care page; and look for coupons in the Special Offers section. Olay products are sold in drug stores, grocery stores, Walmart, Target and ULTA.

Hair Care Friday #2: Privé Concept Vert Eco-Friendly Travel Kit (review)

Yes, I can take it with me! One of my favorite hair care lines has come up with an earth friendly, travel friendly and super hair friendly travel kit. Check out the additional awesomeness from Privé.

Concept Vert Eco-Friendly Travel Kit


Blurb: Privé's Concept Vert Travel Kit includes standard 6.7oz bottles of Concept Vert Shampoo and Conditioner with complimentary 3 oz travel size canisters which can easily be refilled using a special patent pending link that comes in the kit. Simply connect the standard and travel size bottles with the link to transfer the product. It is a simple process that allows you to take Concept Vert wherever you go.

I wrote a glowing review a while back when I first tried this shampoo and conditioner. Since then, I’ve come to love them even more. Concept Vert is superior hair care – and now I can take them traveling!

The travel kit comes with full-sized canisters of the shampoo and conditioner, and two small (empty) travel canisters. There’s a little “transfer link” that enables you to fill up the small canisters. It’s incredibly easy (took me less than 5 minutes), and now I have little mini versions of awesome Concept Vert to take with me this weekend! A+ again, Privé!

Check out all of the Concept Vert items on the website. Oh…and have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Organizing: Cool Stuff to Hold All Your Cool Stuff

In the spirit of my Spring cleaning frenzy; I’m skipping Hair Care today, and posting a whole bunch of items and ideas for organizing your beauty stash. It all started early last week. I was home with a nasty virus and surfing the interwebs. Suddenly I came across…this:

Crayola 150-Count Telescoping Crayon Tower My mind reeled, and my heart raced faster as I got a sudden inspiration: lipgloss holder. Then I took another decongestant/cough suppressant, got back online, and ordered one from Walmart (Target carries these too). The result was… Ta Da! I’ve been using this for the last couple of days, and it’s awesome! All of my lipglosses are visible and accessible. Now, all that’s left is for me to glue a Lazy Susan to the bottom this weekend, and it will spin. Life is good. (I still haven’t found something similar for my tubes of lipstick, but I plan to keep looking.) Another incredibly useful product I found (thank you, Target) were these stackable plastic bins. They were perfect for my nail polish. Here’s a picture of two of them together… Okay…enough of my substandard cell-phone pictures. Here are a few more things I found that were reasonably priced, and incredibly useful. I haven’t tried them all (yet), but they are giving me tons of ideas. From CSNStores.com: Tiered Chrome Shelf Organizer - I bought 2 of these, and love them! They’re great for bottles, jars, boxes and tubes. They’re also well made, and look nice on the counter. From Acrylic Home Design: Makeup Organizer - I have this too – also love it. Up until a few days ago, it housed my lipglosses and lipsticks. Now I use it for my eye pencils, cosmetic brushes and liquid/gel eyeliners. More ideas from Target: Stackable Jars with Metal Lids – 3 shapes and sizes to choose from (each under $10) Itso Modular Stackables – These stackable plastic trays are cute, useful (and $4.99 for 2) Medicine Organizer Vanity Organizers Clear Drawers More drawers from Sterilite: Sterilite Mini Drawer Organizers From Walmart: Desk/Drawer Tray From Bed Bath & Beyond… Acrylic Drawer Organizers – I like these because they can also sit on top of a counter or shelf (one of these may end up holding my lipstick tubes) Cabinet Organizer – another option for storing and displaying bottles, jars, soaps (or maybe even your nail polish collection) Desktop organizer 3-cup plastic Tray Jewelry tree – Have this. Love it. Earing Keeper Foldable Earing Screen Whew! And that's just scratching the surface. There's more. Much, much more; but hopefully this will get you started with some ideas. I really love having all of my beauty items organized, visible and available all the time. I feel very pampered and soothed when I can see everything laid out before me all neat and pretty in the morning. It also helps me remember what I have – so that I don’t end up with 10 dark blue eyeliners (as opposed to…um…5). And since I made such a long post – it seems reasonable to include two helpful instructional films from way back when. Once you’re all snappy and organized; you may want some useful hints for when you either go out, or have people over. Have a great weekend!

Hair Care Friday: Infiniti Pro by Conair™ (review and GIVEAWAY!)

Yes, dear readers - the word of the day is “giveaway!” Thanks to the nice folks at Conair.

Infiniti Pro by Conair™ 1875-Watt Salon-Performance AC Motor Styling Tool



Blurb: Ergonomically designed for ultimate comfort. High performance for salon-quality results. A quiet, but powerful AC motor ensures fast drying time, which means less heat exposure for hair. Well-balanced and lightweight, this Infiniti Pro by Conair™ dryer delivers comfortably effortless styling and sensational results.

This is a fabulous dryer. Fab!...u!...lous! I’ve used it twice so far, and gotten great results.

The AC motor yields plenty of power, yet the dryer is very light and quiet. The first time I used it, I got my long, thick, curly hair from wet to a slightly wavy blowout in 10 minutes. 10 minutes! It was quick, my hair looked shiny, and there was almost no frizz. Not only was I impressed, but I got compliments as soon as I walked into work.

I checked out all the little gadgets and buttons the second time I used it, and loved the features. The filter is removable (aka cleanable), the heat and speed switches work very well, and the “cold shot” really delivers cold air. It also comes with a 4-year warranty. It’s an excellent, excellent dryer.

And…the folks at Conair are partnering with me for a giveaway! One lucky reader is going to win one of these fabulous dryers!

Labor Day Loveliness: Fergie and Velecta Paramount Paris Dryers

For those of you searching for your HG hair dryer – this one looks mighty promising...

Fergie On Tour. Velecta Paramount Paris Dryers. Jason Medina.

The Black Eyed Peas' tour has been a smash worldwide and Fergie's beautiful costumes and on-stage hair looks have been getting rave reviews. Jason Medina is her longtime stylist and masterfully creates the fast-paced hairstyle changes required between sets, during concerts and throughout the tour.

Among the styling essentials which have been spotted in his tool kit is the Velecta Paramount Paris x:Q Onyx hairdryer, which has now become a fast favorite among top red carpet and editorial stylists.

Asked for his comments, Medina says, "I love this dryer! I even ordered EU versions for our European tour since I didn't want to be without it. Speed is really important to me backstage because there's so little time to get Fergie ready after a quick costume change between sections of the show. The Velecta Paramount Paris dryer works faster than anything else I've used, and believe me I've tried everything. It's not only powerful and lightweight, it's ergonomic and compact, which is great when we travel. I also like the fact that it's low EMF."

The model Jason Medina uses is the super-light Velecta Paramount Paris x:Q Onyx (hand-made in France) which delivers 2000 watts of power while radically reducing noise pollution. It features a remarkable airspeed of 81 mph, 60% faster drying time, and has the finest tourmaline and ceramic components available for negative ions and far infrared heat. It incorporates patented ergonomics to reduce stress on shoulders, wrists and elbows and has an energy-efficient, turbo charged, low EMF motor.

Velecta Paramount Paris is considered the finest line of luxury professional hair dryers in the world, and is the industry originator and global leader in noise reduction technology, faster drying speed and healthier hairdryers.

Velecta Paramount, founded in 1936, is France's oldest and most respected maker of hairstyling tools, with each hair dryer carefully made by hand by the same specialist -- unique in the industry.

For more details go to http://www.velecta-paramount.com/. The Velecta Paramount Paris x:Q Onyx can be purchased at selected professional salons and spas in the US as well as through http://www.beechergroup.com/.
