EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream

NICE & SMOOTH BUT...

PROS: Smell & smooth finish

CONS: Price & wasteful 

QUICK TIPS: May need to apply more than what is recommended.

Needing to pick up shaving cream I expected to go and pick up my usual brand but I noticed this EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream (Pomegranate Raspberry) was marked down so I thought I'd give it a try.

EOS shave cream claims to " delight your skin with 24 hours of ultra-soothing moisture.  With natural conditioning oils, shea butter and aloe, it's so moisturizing you can shave wet or dry.  Nourish your skin every time you shave with eos.".

I found it did l leave my skin feeling nice and smooth after shaving but for staying smooth for 24 hours, I don't think so.  Also it says to pump 2 - 3 times to apply a thin layer.  This definitely wasn't enough.  You don't get much of a lather with this product and I would be to hesitant to try to shave with that thin of a layer of shaving cream.  I don't want cuts all over, thank you very much..  With that said I also never tried it without water.  Again probably not going to give that a go, just for the sake of not wanting cuts.

One other good thing about this is the smell along with the smooth finish I mention earlier.  It's definitely a berry fragrance.

Problems I found with this are:

1.  It will take more than 2 - 3 pumps to feel like you have a good enough lather

2.  I bought this while it was marked down, that's the only reason I really picked it up.  If it was regular price (pricey) I would of skipped it

3.  The bottom design of the bottle is unique and fits your hand nicely but the top part where it's the actually pump, I didn't like this.  Could of just made it like regular shaving cream cans/bottles (if that would of work), so you can spray it out instead of pumping.

If this product was amazing I would go out and buy it at regular price but it's sadly not so I probably won't be purchasing this again.

Giving the EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream a C, basically for the smoothness & for the smell.

Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

IT SEEMS TO WORK!

PROS: Great coverage

CONS: Price & Shine 

I recently did another review regarding a different brand of BB Cream, and in that review I stated that I went into the store with the intention of buying this (Garnier) BB cream but in the end I went and purchased a different brand because it was a little bit cheaper and it also had more product in the tube than this (Garnier)... Well if you kept reading you would of found out how disappointed I was with that decision in buying that "other" brand. 

After finally finishing off that "other" brand I went and bought the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light, in which I should of done in the first place. I found this to work really well on me. I am very pale and I was able to apply this and not have to worry about having brown smudges/marks left all over my face when I was done. The coverage was good, it did even out my skin to hide my little imperfections. I also like the fact that it include a little bit of SPF 15 in there to help with the sun but most of all it did help the overall look of my complexion on my face. 

Also the smell of this BB cream was a lot better than the last one. It didn't have a strong sunscreen lotion smell to it. All the BB creams out there all seem to say that if a person wanted to they could use their BB creams instead of having to apply foundation. Well this one. Garniers, I would actually say you could get a way without having to put on foundation. If you wanted that extra coverage then go for it, but if your looking for something simple, easy to do then using this Garnier BB cream as is works great. 

There are 2 itty bitty reasons why I'm giving this product a B instead of an A and they are:

 1. Price (it does work and I will be buying this again)

 2. It leaves your face with a bit of a shine. Some people may like/want this and it does say on the back of the packaging that it does brighten your skin but it may be too much.
