Somersets English Shaving Oil Review

Somersets is a line of shaving essentials that are made out of 100% natural oils. Popular in the UK and Europe Somersets skincare for men and women is now available in the US.

These oils lubricate the blade, for a cleaner, closer shave. And their natural healing properties help prevent irritation, while leaving the skin feeling cleaner, refreshed and more alive.

 

I was sent two of these products for review, Extra Delicate English Shaving Oil for bikini line and Extra Sensitive English Shaving Oil for legs and underarms. When I first saw the teeny bottles of shaving oil I thought surely these must be sample sized bottles. I was wrong! These 15ml bottles actually hold enough for several shaves. Just a few little drops are needed to create the perfect barrier between razor and skin making sure you get the smoothest and safest shave. With  no soaps or chemicals these are great for those of you who have sensitive skin. I was particularly impressed with the Extra Delicate oil for bikini line as it left a close shave with no unsightly red bumps or razor burn.

The Extra Sensitive oil is made with essential oils like lavender, sweet almond oil, and aloe vera. While the Extra Delicate contains essential oils like tea tree and basil oil.

 

Somersets also carries shaving gels and pre and after shave products for men. They stand behind their products and will gladly send you your money back if you do not agree that they offer a superior shave to traditional foams and gels. You can purchase Somerset products online at www.somersetsusa.com and www.drugstore.com.

Sin-Care Sleep Doctor Review

The new year is just around the corner and you know what that means, another year, another resolution. So what's going to be you resolution for 2014? Perhaps your gonna settle down, stay in more, quit your partying ways? Maybe your going to stop indulging that sweet tooth of yours and finally lose a few pounds. Could 2014 finally be the year you stop smoking? Or maybe you just want to take better care of your skin and stick to a beauty regime that will keep you looking youthful for many more new years.

Sin-Care is an Australian company with a line of beauty serums that specifically address any vises or lifestyle factors you may have that are affecting your skin.

Party Girl- Do you enjoy hitting the town with your gal pals? Having a cocktail, or two, or three? Are you the girl hitting the dance floor till the wee hours of the night? Then this serum is for you.

Urban Renewal- Are you a city gal? Do you enjoy hitting downtown, credit cards in tow and shopping till your feet hurt? Yes living the city life can be fun but all that pollution is not good for your skin. This serum is for you.

Sun Goddess- Do you enjoy feeling the suns rays beating down on you? Laying out on the beach and soaking in all that warmth? Are you addicted to your sun kissed tan? This serum is for you.

Line Rewind- Have you been neglecting your skin? Are you noticing some teeny wrinkles? Well now is the time to turn all that damage around. This serum is for you.

Relaxation Sensation- Are you stressed out? Need to unwind?  Have you been working too hard and just need some "me" time? Then this serum is for you.

Sleep Doctor- Have the kids got you running around non stop? Are you lacking some beauty sleep? Do you find yourself sneaking into your car for a little nap because your are just so exhausted? Then this serum is for you.

Sugar Hit- Do you have a sweet tooth? Have you never met a cupcake you couldn't say no to? Go ahead and munch on that candy bar and still have beautiful skin! This serum is for you.

Skin Coach- Is the gym your second home? Have you been training for that marathon? Working on your washboard abs? Then this serum is for you.

Sin-Care's line of serums contain natural cosmeceuticals, vitamins, herbs, antioxidants and biotech ingredients like yeast and algae. Each serum contains ingredients specifically designed to target the lifestyle factor in question.

I specifically requested to review Sleep Doctor because it's the one thing I think I am lacking. I think I am going to resolve to get some more sleep this new year!

Fatigued, lined and dehydrated skin are the hallmarks of poor sleep. Sleep Doctor is making a house call. Party girls, new mums, shift workers and students will celebrate this addition to their beauty kit. This serum helps boost radiance, instantly moisturizes, reduces puffiness and aids in diminishing signs of fatigue.

Some of the key ingredients are lychees to improve complexion, horsechestnut to reduce puffiness, and pineapple to revatilize, among others.

The first thing I like about the Sin-Care line is the packaging. I love vintage pinup girl art and these boxes scream pinup glam. Normally I would take my skincare out of the package it came in but this box is just too cute to throw it. Each serum is also presented in an elegant Italian glass bottle. This serum is meant to be used after cleansing your skin. You gently massage onto your face and décolletage. The serum itself is pretty thick and a little goes a long way. I love that it is not greasy and does not leave an oily feeling on my already oil prone skin. In fact I have noticed that my skin is less oily since I started using Sleep Doctor.

All Sin-Care products are available for purchase online at BeautySak.com and Amazonprime.com. You can also find it at New Beauty in Fred Segal Santa Monica, Henri Bendel NYC, Soft Surroundings, Beauty Collection Sherman Oaks and other fine retailers across the US.

Prank Pack Review

Have you started your Holiday gift wrapping yet? Prank Pack makes "genuine fake gift boxes" for all your gift wrapping needs. What's a fake gift box you ask? Here's an example...

For the person who has everything why not buy them a Pet Sweep system this Christmas? These one size fits most paws dust booties will have Fido pitching in on the housework. What?! That's what your gift recipient will ask when they open up their present from you. Their shock will quickly turn to amusement and laughter when they open up the Pet Sweep gift box to find their real gift inside. Gotcha!

How about some Coffee Talkies? I hear they are all the rage this season.

These prank gift boxes come in a variety of fake products. You fill them with the "real" gift, pack them up and wrap them. Then watch as your wife pretends to be happy with her new Motorized Rolling Pin. Does your son or daughter always guess what they are getting before unwrapping their gift? Not this time! Watch the disappointment when what they thought was going to be a brand new iPad turns out to be an Extreme Chores video game.

I was sent several prank packs, like this Bath & Brew that my coffee loving husband is going to love. I can't wait to get my Christmas wrapping done!

Prank Pack fake gift boxes appear to contain ridiculous products from clueless companies. Just pack your real gift inside, sit back and revel in your gift recipient's half-hearted enthusiasm. Your party will thank you!

Go check out the Prank Packs that are available now, there is still time to receive these before Christmas. While you are their be sure to enter their giveaway to win all 20 Prank Packs.

Tuc-Away Table Review

About a month ago I received a Tuc-Away table for review and I am in love with it. For the last few weeks I have been going through some health issues and have been hanging out in bed a lot, per doctors orders. My Tuc-Away table has been so useful during this time. Let me show and tell you why.
 

 
 
The Tuc-Away table is a foldable end table that secures alongside most arm chairs, sofas, and beds! It's the perfect place to keep the current book you are getting lost in, your i-Pad that you have been staying up late watching, or your glass of whatever strikes your fancy at the moment. It can hold the TV remote, your phone, a late night snack, you name it. The coolest thing about the Tuc-Away table is the fact that it folds down when you don't need it so it never gets in the way and is always conveniently available. The Tuc-Away table is very easy to attach and is scratch and water resistant and it comes in both black and brown to match any decor.
 

 

Because of how much little space this table takes up it is ideal for small spaces. Whether you are living in a small studio apartment, don't want to clutter your room with any more furniture, or sharing a dorm room ,the addition of a Tuc-Away table will surely come in handy.

 

The Tuc-Away table can be purchased online or at your local Brookstone. With Christmas just around the corner this would make the perfect gift for a son or daughter newly out on their own!
