Gillette Venus Embrace


Hello Sugar Critters, here we are again with a review for an item provided to me compliments of Influenster VoxBox. This item happens to be the Gillette Venus Embrace refillable razor. Since this is my third Cosmo VoxBox review post I'll try to keep things short.


        Razor Details
  • 5 Razor blades
  • Moisture ribbon
  • Soft-grip handle - for a no slip grip
  • Available with shower pod storage
  • Interchangeable razor refill cartridges 
Personally I feel this razor lives up to all the hype the brand gives it. I've changed from my everyday brand to Venus after trying it. I was skeptical because I've used the same brand for so long, but I'm impressed with how smooth my legs are. The blades glided so cleanly, and left me without bumps or burns. I have very sensitive skin so this is extremely important to me. My favorite feature is that all Venus refill cartridges fit any Venus handle.  Which to me is perfect because once you discover a great brand you want to explore their other choices. With this feature you save yourself money, and the argument with yourself about branching out or not. Bottom line is it's a great product, and I'll be recommending it to all the ladies I know. 

Stay sweet little critters, and I'll be back soon with several reviews I'm in the middle of write.

Forever Red Exclusively at Bath & Body Works


Hello Sugar Critters, I have some follow up info for one of my Cosmo VoxBox items: Forever Red perfume. As you know from my VoxBox post I received this compliments of Influenster to test for free. This won't be a very long post, but I did want to introduce you to the rest of the product line, and the pricing info. Also I'm sure you've guessed it, there is even a nice sale going on as well. 

I personally love this perfume, and I'm looking forward to finding it under my tree this year. It's soft, sweet, and lingers just right. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a very feminine fragrance. It's perfect for your favorite little bird in her twenties. 

Bath & Body Works describes this perfume as having:
  • Top Notes: Fiery Pomegranate, Rare French Peach, Luminous Apple
  • Mid Notes: Red Peony, Night Marigold, Red Osmanthus
  • Dry Notes: Rich Vanilla Rum, Velvety Marshmallow, Oak Wood
I'd agree that the pomegranate, french peach, vanilla rum, and oak wood are present. I'm not great at dissecting a scent myself. I'm very happy that the vanilla smell doesn't cause the scent to be unbalanced or overpowering. In my honest opinion this is a very well balanced, and lovely scent. 


Currently bath & Body Works offers a total of nine products in the Forever Red line. Each are pictured above, and will be listed below with their perspective prices. Take advantage of the limited time offer of Buy 3, Get 3 free from their signature collection body care.

Stella Artois Chalice BzzCampaign Review



Hello Sugar Critters, this has been a busy busy week for sweet deals. I know you remember me telling you about BzzAgent, and all of their wonderful BzzCampaigns. Well I was finally lucky enough to receive my very first BzzCampaign. So at absolutely no cost to me, compliments of BzzAgent.com I am the proud owner of a Stella Artois Chalice. I'm so excited to try it out, and see if it really does improve the experience of Stella Artois beer. There's a lot to know about this product to be able to understand why it's so special. I'll start by giving you some facts about the product itself.

Stella Artois, is a Belgium produced beer that has been around since 1366. It's recommended to consume it while fresh. It's bottled in green glass which typically can cause flavor change due to light referred to skunking the beer. It was originally brewed to celebrate the holidays. I can understand why it certainly works well with holiday festivities. This wonderful brews name Stella means star and she certainly is the star of the show. I enjoyed how they Incorporated this lovely feature into the chalice stem. It's eye catching and as attractive as the product served inside. 

What truly makes this an amazing item is that it's not just about presentation. It's about the experience you have while using it. A simple chalice transforms an already great beer into something more. To ensure this they even created a nine step pouring ritual to make your chalice even more unique. The chalice isn't just an ordinary glass, it's functional in enhancing the aroma and flavor of the brew. To me it's a light, refreshing beer that's meant for unwinding. I'm not sure how others describe the aroma, but to me it's a little robust with the scent of hops, but at times the slight skunky undertones of beers bottled in light colored bottles. It's not an unpleasant scent by any means, just different. 

I'll be enjoying the benefits of this chalice during the holidays. I'll be adding some photos of my outings with my sparkly friend soon. So here's to good taste, tantalizing aromas, and good cheer. I hope you all are lucky enough to have a visit from Carole, this holiday season.

Only a social media and freebie junkies best friend...the Influenster VoxBox.  Don't worry if you have no clue what I'm talking about I'll explain.

         Cosmo VoxBox 2012

  • One Information Card From Influenster
  • Forever Red Perfume 
  • Venus Embrace Razor
  • Gillette Venus & Olay Refill
  • $2.00 Off Coupon for Venus Refills
  • Information Card: Gillette Venus Info
  • Ghirardelli Sea Salt Escape Chocolate Bar
  • Red, and Black FriXion Pens By Pilot
I loved that I was lucky enough to receive this voxbox. Everything included happened to be an item I enjoyed. Some new favorites, and some guilt over a sugar high. Here are my thoughts on each.

The Forever Red perfume is carried by Bath and Body, and I have to say it's my new favorite. It's soft, and sweet and lingers in a lovely way. I can't wait to see if my husband took the hint about wanting more for Christmas. 

The Venus Embrace razor worked so well that my inner goddess won't be hiding these legs this winter. I also found out that any of the Venus refills fit any of the Venus handles. That's really convenient and nice to know. It also came with a Venus & Olay refill. It had a pleasant coco butter sent, and I can't wait to try it. To top things off they included a $2.00 off coupon for their refills. All of these items were packaged in a pretty sheer satchel.

The Ghirardelli Sea Salt Escape chocolate bar was oh so good. Sweet, and savory with a nice crunch. I was a nice sugar critter and shared it though.

The red, and black Frixion Pilot pens were great. I'm prone to writing mistakes so these pens were a life saver. I was a little skeptical that they would work well, but after giving them a try I'm hooked. They erase so clean that I can hide my little oops lol

All in all this package was great. I found a new perfect scent, and a way to hide my terrible writing. I'd have to call that a win. I've included a few pictures of my unboxing, and a youtube video I made. I'm sorry for the sound and light quality. I just moved so I don't have everything set up yet. Please hold on with me while I work to make my youtube channel and blog much better for you. So until my next sweet deal I'll leave you with candy crumb memories.
