New Products from Gillette Satin Care to Keep Your Legs Smooth this Spring and Summer

Need smooth legs now that the weather is warmer and your skirts and pants are shorter? I think that smooth legs start in the shower or bath with shaving. To make this task easier, try a couple of great products from Satin Care — The new and improved formulation of their shave gel plus their brand-new In Shower Moisturizer.

I tried the Cooling Sensation Shave Gel ($1.99 – $3.49 USD). This refreshing gel has a light menthol and eucalyptus scent and does cool skin on contact. It goes on as a gel and foams up when you smooth it on. This gives a rich cream that is perfect for shaving — and skin is satiny-smooth afterwards.

The Satin Care Shave Gel is available in 7 variations: Dry Skin, Sensitive Skin, Cooling Sensation, Lavender Kiss, Alluring Avocado, Radiant Apricot and Floral Passion.

The fun new In-Shower Moisturizer ($3.99-$4.99 USD) gives a unique showering experience. Once done shaving, apply moisturizer to wet skin, then rinse and pat dry. My legs are super soft and slick after I use this product. Plus, it claims to lock in moisture for up to 24 hours after using for 5 consecutive days. This would eliminate use of after shower moisturizer. Pretty nice, huh!

Satin Care In-Shower Moisturizer comes in two formulas, Sensitive Skin and Dry. I used the dry and love the creamy fragrance.

Bodycology Rich and Creamy Body Wash

“bodycology® seeks to empower women to look and feel their best by enhancing their lives through both knowledge and high quality, personalized products that are attainable by all.” www.bodycology.com

Bodycology is an affordable way to try some fab bath and body products this spring. I tried the new Rich & Creamy Skin-Softening Body Wash ($4.99 USD) in the Silk and Avocado Oil formula. This is a very moisturizing wash that leaves skin extra soft. And it smells refreshing, almost a little like raspberry.

I also use it to shave my legs, because it is so creamy. I like non-foaming creams for shaving because I get a smoother shave with fewer cuts.

The Rich and Creamy Body Wash is also available in Ultra Rich, Hydrating, Deep Cleansing, Refreshing and Nourishing.

You can purchase these products at a drugstore near you.

New Spring Products from Jo Malone

Luxury fragrance and body care company Jo Malone has released some fab new products for spring. So go ahead and indulge!

Just launched February 1st is the Jo Malone Vitamin E Body Balm ($75.00) The Jo Malone Vitamin E skin care collection launched over 20 years ago with the cult favorite, Vitamin E Gel, and has expanded into a collection that includes a Lip Conditioner, Nourishing Hand Treatment and Body Treatment Scrub. The Vitamin E Body Balm is a rich, concentrated cream that deeply conditions the skin with beneficial antioxidants which help fortify the skin against the damaging effects of the environment. Shea butter, cocoa butter and wheat protein all provide natural barrier repair while coconut oil brings even more powerful moisturizing benefits. I love this balm because it is so rich and thick, but after I smooth it on (even my hands) I don’t feel greasy at all. And my skin is very soft and it smells great too!

Last fall I reviewed Jo Malone’s Vanilla & Anise cologne. I love this spicy, but fresh fragrance. Starting March 1st, Jo Malone has introduced more products in the Vanilla and Anise line– A Home Candle ($65.00 USD), Bath Oil ($60.00 USD) and Body Crème ($75.00 USD). This scent is inspired by the floral valleys of Madagascar, blending notes of bergamot, neroli and star anise, vanilla orchid, frangipani, vetiver, white amber and a hint of clove. I have tried the bath oil and I love it. It foams just a little and imparts and rich fragrance while I’m bathing. It also moisturizes my skin without leaving a greasy feeling!

New Starry Eye Shadows From Urban Decay and LORAC

Looking for eye shadow with a little bit of shimmer, or a whole lot of sparkle? It’s a fun way to add some shine to your evening, or even every day look!

If it’s a smoldering shimmer you want, try LORAC’s Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio ($25.00 USD) is a great little palette that creates a lot of different sizzling eye looks. These are highly pigmented and long-lasting and they allow you to create a sexy, smoky eye with little effort. This trio is available in 6 different color combinations including 3 new ones.

Want a more glamorous, sparkly look? Urban Decay has taken glitter eye shadow to the extreme with their Stardust Eye Shadows ($20.00 USD) The cool thing about these is although they are full of glitter, they have a silky texture and they deliver a pretty twinkling sparkle instead of looking like a craft project gone wrong!

Curel Itch Defense Skin Balancing Lotion

Suffering from dry, itchy skin from the long winter or from something more serious like Eczema? Curel has recently released their Itch Defense™ lotion ($7.99 USD) that was awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™. It claims to “rebalance skin in 4 ways, restoring its barrier function and ability to retain moisture, boosting moisturization and emollients to leave skin feeling protected, returning the pH balance to healthy levels and smoothing the skin’s surface to minimize dryness and flakiness.”

My skin is very dry from this winter, especially my arms and legs. A few minutes after applying Itch Defense, it feels much better. The itching and redness diminishes and after a few days, my skin is a lot less dry and flaky. My teenage daughter has eczema and has noticed an improvement in her skin as well. I highly recommend this lotion!

A Bevy of Cool Products From Soap and Glory

Do you love Target as much as I do? Then you have seen the retro cool Soap & Glory skincare, bath and body and makeup products there. These creatively packaged beauty items are the brain child of Marcia, the genius who founded the Bliss spa and beauty product lines.

I love so many of these products that it was hard for me to narrow it down to my usual 3 to review. So I have a couple in each category: skincare, makeup and bath and body.

Make Yourself Youthful Super Rejuvenating Face Serum ($19.99) — This is an interesting serum as it is more of a light cream than the usual liquid that make up most serums. It has a light citrusy scent that I love and soaks in so quickly. According to user trial reports, this product gives re-energized, smoother, healthier, firmer and younger looking skin.I use this before moisturizer on my face, neck and (don’t forget) the back of my hands. Soft and glowy skin is the result.

I follow the serum with the Catch a Wrinkle in Time Age Avoiding Day Moisturiser ($15.99 USD). This makes my skin GLOW! The anti-aging complex “blends natural sun filters, high performance hydrators and clinically proven collagen stimulating tri-peptides, to smooth away wrinkles, rejuvenate, firm and protect your skin”, states the website. I love that after I use it my skin is soft and glowy and ready for makeup, since its sinks right in and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. The only thing I wish this had it is an SPF.

Eye Maintenence Moisturizing Eye Gel ($12.99 USD) — The first thing I noticed about this eye gel is that it smells (and almost feels) like lemon merengue. It claims to instantly firm and depuff (keep it cool in the fridge) the eye area. The website claims that , “by deploying our exclusive SWIFTLIFT™ technology, it reduces visible wrinkles almost immediately and fights fine lines long-term too.” Cool,

Sexy Mother Pucker XL Extreme-Plump Collagen Lip Shine ($10.99 USD) — I think I am a masochist because I love this tingly, prickly lip plumper! I apply it and notice how great my lips look with the shimmery, shiny gloss. Then the tingles start and my lips plump up! It contains these ingredients: Lipswell™: natural plant oil infusion, Superfill®: Nanovectors and Visivolume™: immediate effect lip filler. I don’t know what all of that means, but I do know that I really love this gloss!

Arch De Triumph Shaping And Highlighting Brow Crayon ($9.99 USD) — My favorite part of this product is the highlighter it is soft and blendable and I love to apply it in my inner corner of my eye, under my brows and especially used as a liner on the inside of my lower lid. It makes me look AWAKE! The brow pencil is nice, too, but a little hard at first. I warm it on my skin to get it soft enough to work.

The Daily Smoothe Dry Skin Formula Body Butter ($14.99) — This skin-softening body butter is perfect for my dry, winter skin. It contains Rosehip Seed Oil and Cocoa Butter to soothe. It is scented with Mist You Madly’s™ notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla and Musk. It smells soft and fabulous!

Clean, Girls Skin Softening Creamy Body Wash ($9.99 USD) is also scented with Mist You Madly. It is pearly and very moisturizing. It works great for shaving, too.
