Review: Lucky Tiger Liquid Cream Shave

2014...let's start this off with a review of a product my husband came across and loves. Yes, fellas, this one is for you: Lucky Tiger Liquid Cream Shave. This product is a modern take on classic shaving cream as it goes on smooth like lotion but the creates a lather as you begin working it in. You are able to achieve a close shave all while nourishing the skin and preventing that awful razor burn. It contains a combination of natural botanicals including chamomile (to calm and soothe skin while replenishing dry areas), Olive Fruit oil to protect and lubricate the skin and allow for a close shave), Calendula (to cool, heal and soothe the skin while rejuvenating, softening and brightening the skin's surface),  and Borage oil (to help skin retain it's moisture).

Here's what the husband thinks about his Lucky Tiger:
"I really like that I can get a close shave without razor bumps, it's the only one I've really found that does that. I also like that the razor actually glides along the skin and doesn't get caught on your whiskers, pulling them. It smells pretty good too. A little bit goes a long way. My skin feels nice and moisturizer after using it and sometimes I don't even have to use after shave."

Well, the man has spoken. I count on him for these reviews because I know he will give straightforward honest answers; he is kind of picky and definitely is keen to his likes and dislikes when it comes to grooming/hygiene products.
You can visit www.getluckytiger.com to view their entire collection and pick up your own (or pick up your man) Liquid Cream Shave, it's about $18.50 for the full size bottle, and the husband agrees it is worth it!!!

If you have any products you want the man's opinion on just comment below!!
Hope 2014 is proving to be so far so good for all. Let's be all about the love this year.

Review: Ernest Supplies Cooling Shave Cream

     The permanent roommate (aka my husband) decided finally to offer me feedback on a product from one of his Birchbox Man boxes!! This product came from his August box: Cooling Shave Cream by Ernest Supplies. It's a low-lathering formula that protects the skin with jojoba and macadamia oils, then cools the skin with menthol. I asked my P.R. to give me his thoughts on the product so I could put a little posty post together, and here's what he had to say...

"I shave every other day and I have dry skin sometimes because I have to work to get a close shave. I also get a lot of razor burn and bumps. I liked that this shaving cream still let me see the hair on my face so I could get a nicer, cleaner shave. My skin looked and felt smooth after using it, and looked and felt really healthy too. I also liked that the oils in the shave cream smelled really good, so that was nice. I would use this more often if it cost less".

So there you have the man's opinion and it looks like this product is a winner!! The full size is $25 so it is a little pricy compared to stuff you find at Walgreens and Target. But if your man is like mine, or you are a man like mine, then the price is worth it to not have to buy extra bump creams and aftershave and moisturizers I suppose.

Look for more PR Reviews, because I'm going to force them out of him, haha. Hope everyone is off to a great start this week, and look for my August Birchbox post soon!!

Review: EOS Shave Cream

Hello dolls (guys and dolls possibly)!! It's Friday, so I hope everyone is geared up for a great weekend! I know I'm super busy the next 2 days. Tonight my husband and I have part 1 of 2 of a marriage seminar called "The Art of Marriage" (tomorrow am is pt. 2), then we will be heading off to our local Relay for Life event where my mom and aunt have created a team, so we will be posted out there; I even made some rad cupcakes for the event (pics will be available soon on my cupcake website: glittersweet.weebly.com). Anyway, despite running around like a whirling dervish (totally random reference, right) I had to do a review on the new EOS (Evolution of Smooth) shave cream I just got and love.

I think by now we have all seen the EOS lip balm...you know, the ones that come in the spherical containers and are super cute, but the other day I picked up their shave cream from Target ($5 for a 7 fl. oz bottle). I got it in the scent "pomegranate raspberry" and it came in a hot pink bottle (I'm always a sucker for quality products in pretty packaging). The front of the bottle claims it's "ultra moisturizing, paraben free, with natural aloe and shea butter". It also contains antioxidant vitamins (E & C) which are supposed to help your skin look nice and healthy.

What I Think:
I really like that this product comes in a plastic bottle and is a pump (I'm so used to those gilette brands, or whatever, that come in the metal canisters and aerosol out into a foam...don't typically like). It pumps out like a lotion and is non-foaming. Now, a lot of you may like the lather sensation that most shave creams give, but trust me, try this and you will change your mind! The best part is that you can shave wet or dry. I just shaved my legs "dry" and had absolutely no problem because the shave cream has amazing hydrating properties. I even used a brand spanking new razor (a 5 blade) and was able to get a really close shave with out any irritation or razor cuts from the new razor. Something else that I love (about the dry shave) is that when you're done you don't have to rinse your legs off. I just rubbed the remaining cream into my skin like lotion. Now my legs feel soft and smooth and have that nice shiny look. So ladies, no excuses not to have that smooth luxurious look (and feel) to your legs...especially with the summer months begging us to wear less clothes!!

Have you tried the EOS shave cream?? Let me know what you think about it. And if anyone else finds anything they think is comparable, let me know your opinions on that too!! Here's to hot looking legs this summer (and always)!!
XOXO,
