Pink Haired Princess

You'll be aware that I participated in the 'Get Set For Summer Challenge' in association with Gillette Venus and Braun recently. Well, Daisy Lowe is the 'legs' of the new Dual Epilator (that you'll possibly recall me reviewing a short while back on my YouTube channel -yep that dancing epilator) and recently she hosted the Braun Sound of Fashion event in London, an evening of music and fashion. Now, I have to admit I don't often get invited to press events, I'm not sure if it's due to my location or not being in the right clique! I guess it is easier and far cheaper for those who live in or around London to pop on a train rather than having an entire day of travel and overnight stay for peeps like me. However, given my health issues, it's normally unlikely that I'd be able to attend anyway (although it's always nice to be considered). This year though, my health is improving slightly (possibly not quite enough to run off to L...

Hello lovelies-finally back after that full day of whatever from Blogger (updates or something). It gave me time to work on this little video of the new Braun Silk Epil 7 Dual Epilator (featuring Gillette Venus technology). You'll need to turn the volume up when I start talking because my camera records quietly and I can't seem to fix it! The guide shows you how to use the device including how to change the caps, what each one does, how to charge the device and all the accessories you get with it. I hope you find it useful. You can find this product at Boots currently on offer with £60 off.

You may recall I participated in the Gillette Venus 'Get Set For Summer Challenge' last year and had a lovely time doing so. I've been contacted again this year and received a lovely package last month, including those ASOS oversized sunglasses which I've barely taken off (see The Shoe Girl Diaries for photographic evidence!). I highly recommend the Venus products and am in good company as Jennifer Lopez is the new global ambassador for the brand (I'm sure you'll have seen plenty of the TV ad recently). If you'd like a reminder of the razors I previously reviewed, here are the links. Venus Embrace Venus Spa Breeze Venus Oceana I received their newest product, the bikini trimmer this time, and was keen to see how it performed. The product is designed to be used on the bikini line to shorten hair and is perfect to use before shaving or waxing (where hair should be of a certain length but relatively short to ease pain). It's aimed at being the alternative ...

Gillette Venus has announced Jennifer Lopez as it's new global ambassador! They say; renowned for her show-stopping glamour, J-Lo is a fan of the fabulous Venus range for enabling her–and women all over the world–to get touchable smooth legs in the comfort of their own home. Speaking about the partnership Jennifer says: “The Venus brand empowers women and speaks to the ‘goddess’ in everyone of us. Every woman is a goddess in her own right when we let our best feminine self shine through. Venus keeps my legs looking beautiful, giving me the confidence to feel just like a goddess.” I'm really pleased, I think the image above says it all really, she's the perfect 'legs' for the brand and a true 'goddess'. Oh and I love the shoes too!

I've been trialling these gorgeous disposable Oceana razors by Gillette Venus . You may remember my review for the Spa Breeze recently-I loved them and must admit I was a little apprehensive to leave them behind to try something new, because I adored them so much! The Oceana razors come in a 3 pack and are a lovely summery aqua shade. The pearlised rubber sections on the handle ensure it doesn't slip when wet and it just feels really lovely to hold. The rounded head pivots and has an almost spring like action when in use. I really liked this as it glided around my body with ease, reaching those difficult areas like ankle and knees and underarms. I don't think I was quite as confident when I started using this as I was with the Spa Breeze (which had built in shaving gel and felt like a pillow!), but after a couple of uses, I realised it wasn't going to cut me! That's what I love about all of the Venus razors, they really do care for your skin and you can get as slop...

I was very kindly sent a Venus 'Get Set for Summer' pack which included the new Gillette Venus Spa Breeze 2in1 razor. Now I'm pretty old school when it comes to razors, nothing too fancy, just a wet shave with some sort of shaving gel/shower gel/hair conditioner or whatever I can find! So how did I get on with this? The Venus Spa Breeze is a disposable razor which comes with 2 heads and a handy shower pod (£7.99). It's pale pink and has a grip handle which didn't slip out of my hand when wet and was comfortable to hold. The razor heads are kept in sealed containers within the shower pod, so they don't get wet before you need to use them. When I first opened the casing, the scent (white tea) was quite overpowering, however during and after use it's hardly noticeable. The head clicks into place on the handle-very easy to use. The unique aspect of this razor is that you don't need a separate shaving gel as it comes with 2 built in shave gel bars. When acti...
