Sally Hansen Xtremewear Pacific Blue Dupe!

As we all know by my lack of posts, I have a camera that sucks at close ups, and movement even though it's supposed to be amazing for said things!

But besides that, I found a very close dupe for my perfectionist inner self! For Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears Pacific Blue! I'm going to go right in with a bottle shot then swatches!

Gotta act fast because this NYC is apart of the City Samba collection which is Limited Edition! Not sure if it is LE too, because most bloggers I seen never got this one, only the other 7!





Sunlight, far ish, clearest picture I could get.
Middle and Pinky: Pacific Blue
Index and Ring: Ocean Blue



A little closer, a cloud came just before I took this picture!

All in all: To me I'm one of those people that be like; "Know any dupes for Pacific Blue???" And everyone list a few polishes and I'm like....NOPE! Ones they list are similar, not DUPES in my eyes. But Ocean Blue hits it for me! Though SOME lightings they may seem different blut clear great lighting and sunlight lighting they are most definitely dupes!

Polish take: Pacific Blue if worked right can be an amazing one coater! Lovely, right? But, I don't know if it was just me but Ocean Blue was so watery consistancy that if I wasn't careful about how much I wipe into the neck of the bottle the polish may sink to the sides of my nail. So you may need 2/4 THIN coats if yours is as watery like as mine!

Venus Snap VoxBox


Hey lovies! I got a Voxbox from Influenster recently and tested what I got out! :D
I was one of I'm not sure how many chosen for the #InASnap Venus Snap Voxbox!

I was super excited because was meant for me! This is a razor and not a disposable, nope! Not a normal one at all either, well kind of. Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace is this little tiny razor in a small compact! Perfect for people on the go, also perfect to bring with you in your purse, work bag, gym bag!


With being a single mother my showers are precious for me and I kind of rush when it comes to shaving. I always have "patches" left here and there and don't realize til after I'm all dry and dressed.

This picture shows pre-shaving. Sorry for any sensitive people! But as you can see my leg hairs grew out a bit enough for me to shave and review. But if you notice some random places the hair is longer then others which are places I previously missed, aka "patches".



Then after a quick shave of just using WATER! Yes, only water this is the result. You can still see the roots of the hair but my legs were super smooth! I bet if I didn't do it within a minute it'd be less root hairs seen.


Now onto the packaging, here is the compact on its own, closed.



Now below is the compact alone while open.



Open with the razor inside.

The razor alone on my hand to show size.



Within the compact.




Overall: I love this! Its still easy to use. Fast and leaves your legs smooth! I have super dark leg hair thats why my roots were still see-able. And the best part is if you love another Venus razor you can click any on this small handle! But the Snap With Embrace one is the only one that works well, and maybe the only one that works well with only water.

I recommend: that you if you have sensitive to very sensitive legs to put lotion on your legs after you wipe your legs to make sure no loose hairs are stuck to your legs. :)

At Walmart the price is;
For kit - $9.47
Pack of 4 Cartridges(the razor part not handle) - $15.97
