What's in my Handbag : Lip Products


Hi Everyone,

    When it comes to a handbag, I'm not the type of person to change to a different one daily. It's more likely that I use the same one for a few weeks. I hate moving everything from one handbag to another mostly because I tend to hoard things in it out of convenience. 

    The first things I decided to pull out and talk about are my lip products. I try to rotate what lipsticks I carry on a regular basis, so I can tell myself that I use everything I have and then buy more. My mood is most often the answer to what colors I'm carrying also. 

Here's what I'm carrying this very moment:

To some that may seem like more lip products than needed in a handbag, but I was actually surprised that I didn't have more than that!

I hope everyone likes the post and stay tuned for what else is in my handbag!

Thanks for reading!

Review: Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor




Hello Everyone!

I wanted to post a review on the Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor that I received from Influenster. I'm always thrilled to get an email from Influenster telling me that I've qualified for a Voxbox. I mean who doesn't love receiving free products?!

This time around, I've received the razor based on my sensitive skin needs. Razors can often be abrasive and I was extremely excited to try this new one by Gillette.


First, I was extremely impressed that the razors has five blades. I usually steal my fiance's razor because of that feature and was excited to finally have a girl's razor with five blades. The razor did a great job on my legs and the re-growth seemed to be slower than with other razors.

I'm also happy to say that the razor did a great job in maintaining its' sensitive claims. I did not have any issues with the razor and feel like it's a razor I will keep and buy refills for.

I highly recommend this razors for gals with sensitive needs and hope it works well for others, as it has for me!
