#GlamVoxBox

Well, I've now tried all of the items in my #GlamVoxBox, so here are my reviews of the items. NYM Dry spray shampoo: Well, it smells HORRIBLE. And it didn't work. My hair was greasier after using it than before. And it was hard to wash the residue out afterwards. Do not buy this, it's crap. Gillette Venus razor and shave gel: I love this razor, it's cool looking and it works better than any razor I've used before. The shave gel is nice too. I don't like the smell, but it works well for getting legs soft and smooth. Cutex nail polish remover pads: They don't work great, it takes a long time to get the polish off. But one pad really is enough to do all ten nails. Q-tips beauty rounds: These are glorified cotton balls, but they're very convenient for storing in first aid kits and such. SheaMoisture anti-aging face wash/lotion/mask: I can't assess whether it's anti-aging claims are legit, since I haven't used it long. But it didn't cause any breakouts or irritation, which is good. It smelled weird though.

Cutex nail polish remover pads #GotItFree

I received a free sample of Cutex Nail Polish remover pads in my recent Glam VoxBox. They arrived right in time as my bad manicure was starting to chip and fade. So I used them to clean up my nails, and it worked pretty good. You have to press pretty hard to get them to work, and it takes a while to get all the polish off, but one pad will do all ten nails. I wouldn't likely buy them because I can get nail polish remover cheaper at the dollar store, but they are a great idea for road trips and vacations.

#ChooseToSmooth with Venus and Olay!

Disclaimer: I received these products free to test and review Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything here because I started a new job so I haven't had a lot of free time. But recently I received a new VoxBox (three, actually!) so I have a new product to review. This time it's a review of Gillette Venus Swirl Razor and Olay Violet Swirl Shave Gel. Well, I will say that the razor is awesome. It's got a ball joint that allows it to move at different angles that makes getting a close, clean shave quick and easy. The shave gel is pretty nice, too. It has a nice smell and it provides nice coverage. I normally hate shaving, but these products make it less of a pain.

Job's going well

Well, I just completed my first solo work day. It went well, I guess. I didn't burn the place down, so that's a plus! I was actually pretty worried during my on the job training that I wouldn't be able to do this job on my own, but it really is pretty damned easy. It's a lot more work than most people seem to realize, though. Everyone thinks because I have a management position at a government agency that I just sit on my butt all day and goof off, but I don't. Well, I do spend some time goofing off, but I do have to actually work, too. I actually have a lot to do during the day, mostly administrative and customer service type work. But I also have to make sure the place is kept neat and clean. I'll also be responsible for lawn maintenance when summer comes. I'm not yet officially the postmaster, I'm only a postmaster relief, but I will be postmaster officially soon. That doesn't change much, really. I'll get a small salary bump and be eligible for health benefits.
