About EOS Shave Cream

EOS Shaving Cream is a non-foaming shaving cream that is infused with natural aloe, oat, shea butter, and antioxidant vitamins E & C. It is paraben-free, pthalate-free and cruelty free. The aloe and oat extracts are to help prevent nicks and razor bumps, and you're even supposed to be able to shave wet or dry when you use this product.

Although the bottle says this product is paraben-free with natural aloe and shea butter, it is not a natural product. This product contains glycerin, fragrance and other ingredients that may be an allergy concern for some. I would suggest reading the entire ingredient list, and maybe doing a spot test before using it on your entire leg. 

Ingredients: 

Water (Eau), Mineral Oil (Huile Minérale), Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Gluconolactone, Triethanolamine, Cetyl alcohol, Petrolatum, Sodium Benzoate, Dimethicone, Glycol Stearate, Titanium Dioxide (CI77891), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylene glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Red 40 (CI16035), Yellow 6 (CI15985).

How Well Does It Work?

EOS Shaving Cream provides a nice coat that creates an ample shave barrier between my razor and my skin. There wasn’t much of a lather to this product, but I still felt that it protected my skin from nicks, cuts, and razor irritation. I really didn't need that much product to get a good shave with this. I generally use one pump for my lower leg and one pump for my thighs, and I never have to use more than three pumps when shaving my legs. If you only apply a thin layer of this product like you're supposed to, it will give you a smooth, close shave without clogging up your razor. I was able to shave dry with this product somewhat successfully, although not without some irritation. In the shower it gave me seriously smooth skin and left my skin feeling moisturized. With that being said, I would not recommend using this dry unless it is absolutely necessary.

Consistency: EOS Shaving Cream doesn't foam like most shaving creams. Instead it's like a thick and creamy lotion. The texture of this shaving cream is a huge difference if you're used to thick gels or foams. Even though it comes out like a thick lotion, it starts to thin out once you apply it and rub it into your skin. If you normally use those thick gels and foams, it may take some getting used to the viscosity of this shaving cream.

Packaging: EOS Shaving Cream comes in a durable, recyclable, 7 oz. bottle with an easy to use dispensing pump. The dispensing pump can be locked and there is even a cap that covers the pump, making this an acceptable product to take with you when traveling. I think the bottle is very stylish and I love how it doesn't leave a rust ring in the shower or on counter-tops. 

You can buy this shaving cream for about $4 at Target, or you can find it on Amazon for around $7.

About Lady Shape Heart Intimate Shaping Tool

Lady Shape is a brand that offers a variety of grooming products for the pubic area. They are made for the female body, and specifically designed to follow the shape and curves of the female body. They come in three different models: the Brazilian, a triangle, and a heart shape, which is the one I'm reviewing.

How To Use

The shaping tool comes with a three step picture diagram on the box, showing you the easiest way to go about using the product. The first step is to position the tool. Then, while you're in the shower, start by shaving the sides first and then the top part of the heart. The top part of the heart was the trickiest part for me.  That's where the small razors come in handy, so you can get the best heart shape possible.

I really like the design and quality of this product. The handle and the base of this shaping tool is made of plastic, and it's the perfect shape for holding comfortably in your hand. You're really able to get a good grip on it. The heart shape is made of a rubber material that makes it really easy for staying in place and not slipping around while you're trying to create your masterpiece. The size of the heart shaped shaping tool is 2 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches.

My Experience

 I use a Venus razor that's a bit bigger than disposable size razors and I had a bit of a difficult time doing the top part of my heart, where it makes a v-shape. I made it work, but I'm sure if I had a smaller razor it would have been an easier process, and a more precise heart shape. I only have the shaping tool, but I noticed on Amazon and on the Lady Shape website that it actually comes with two small razors to use with the shaping tool. I  recommend using those little bikini razors for the best results.

The heart shape template is nice for cute, special moments, but it's not something I want to rock all the time. I think I would like the Brazilian and triangle style much better.

If you're interested in purchasing an Intimate Shaping Tool of your own, you can find them on Amazon, or on the Lady Shape website. You can find it anywhere from $15-$18. That includes the shaping tool, two bikini razors, and a waterproof storage bag.

Overall Rating

I recently received a VoxBox from Influenster, with a sample of Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs. I've been wanting to try Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs since I first saw a commercial for it on TV, so a big thank you to Influenster & Sally Hansen for giving me the chance to test it and share my opinion!

About Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is a water resistant leg makeup that comes in 5 different shades, and is available in either a spray or a lotion. I received the lotion, so that is the one I am going to be reviewing. This product is supposed to give your legs a flawless look with a glow, and is advertised as being streak-free, long lasting, yet it won't rub off on your clothes. They even say it can cover any imperfections you may have on your legs, such as veins, birthmarks, etc.

How To Use

I had a super easy time applying this product. It was easy and not at all messy like I thought it would be. It literally takes three easy steps to apply this product.

1. Apply a quarter size amount of lotion into the palm of your hand.
2. Rub evenly onto your legs and feet, and apply sparingly to knees and ankles. If you put to much on your knees or other joint areas, it will look orange.
3. Let dry!

My Experience

I decided to use my sample of Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs before going to the beach! My legs don't match the rest of my body, so they really can use some kind of color before going into the bright sun. And what a way to put this product to the ultimate test, I thought.

I started with a quarter sized amount, but I definitely ended up needing more than that. I am a lot of leg, so I ended up using almost 3 times that amount per leg. It also didn't spread out as much as I thought it was going to. Even though the lotion didn't spread out as much as I thought it would, the most important thing is that it spread evenly, without any streaks.

The texture of this lotion was very smooth and creamy, with a light and airy feel to it. It wasn't too thick, nor was it too thin. The consistency is very much like a liquid foundation. 

As soon as I applied the lotion to my legs, I instantly noticed how smooth and flawless it made my skin look. I also noticed a nice glow to my skin, and the fact that it was a slight shade darker. I was surprised with how natural it looked, and happy that it wasn't drastic. I was also happy that it didn't look orange-ish at all! My knees and ankles did look a lot darker, so even though I tried to apply it sparingly as possible, I think it was still too much. So really be careful not to apply too much on your knee and ankle area.

While I was at the beach, this product was able to hold up through the ocean water and didn't even rub off onto my suit, beach towel, or seat covers on the ride home. I showered that night when I got home from the beach, but I don't think the product completely washed off. My legs still had a smooth look to them, and it looked as if I had a little foundation on my legs. I showered again the next morning, and I'm pretty sure the rest of it washed off.  I had no issues washing it off of my hands. It easily washed off with soap and warm water. 

The day after using the product, I noticed that my legs and hands looked and felt really dried out. It has me wondering if there is anything in this product that helps with moisturizing or hydrating. 

Overall, I liked this product and I would definitely purchase it to use again. I think I would probably purchase the spray version, because I think it would be a lot easier to apply, especially for someone with a lot of leg!

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. Even though I received this product free of charge, it in no way effects my review. All opinions are 100% my own.
