NewBeauty - TestTube™ Canadian blog exclusive!

A few weeks ago I asked "What is the best beauty box in USA?" on twitter. Nine people out of ten ladies said NewBeauty - TestTube™! I'm excited to share the goodies that I received in my NewBeauty box. Before we get started I will let you all know that this is a USA ONLY box. I'm giving you all the exclusive on my Canadian blog.

TestTube is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind sampling program enabling members the opportunity to try a variety of the best beauty products before investing in them, and then share their feedback about the products. Every three months, for just $29.95 (plus shipping and handling), subscribers receive a TestTube filled with deluxe and full-size samples of coveted, high-performance luxury products and the latest issue of NewBeauty magazine. TestTube subscribers also receive videoemails, demonstrating how to achieve optimal results with the products.

 Let me start off by saying I am so amazed! I've never seen anything like it. We have monthly box subscriptions in Canada but we don't get magazines or anything similar to NewBeauty. I am a big fan of magazines. I couldn't get over how thick this magazine was. There was a lot of great content to read.

Overall I thought that this was a great value for your money. Expecially if you're into trying out high end products at a fixed low price. I admit that some products were not for me "wrinkle reducer" but that is the pro of beauty boxes. Share the contents with your mom, sister, aunt or whoever. If I lived in America I would definitely be a subscriber of NewBeauty - TestTube™.

Have you tried NewBeauty - TestTube™  before?

If not, what do you think of subscription boxes that come three times a year? Love? Hate it?

My Schick Hydro Silk razor experience

I know you all have seen posts on this Schick Hydro Silk razor popping up everywhere. I have put this baby through a two week trial and I'm ready to share my experience with you!

Let me start out with my shaving story. I wasn't blessed like my mother to have hairless legs.. YES.. you heard me hairless legs. I've tried everything from electric razors to nair because I could never get the hang of razors.

Lugging big cans of shaving cream to the tub is not my idea of a good time. Nothing is worst than getting there and finding out the can is empty!

I wish I had something like the Schick Hydro Silk razor when I was growing up!

Razor Breakdown

• Water- activated serum
• Five curve- sensing blades
• Sleek and fashionable handle
• Easy removal head
• Great grip

This was one of the most comfortable shaves that I have EVER had! The fact that I received a close shave with no irritation on numerous occasions is amazing. I really feel like the ease of the shave had to do with the water- activated serum. For some odd reason I thought the serum was suppose to be on the side. The fact that it was built in to the head and continued to "flow" through out my shaves was great. I also liked the fact that the razor came with an extra head.

Overall I recommend this razor and I will continue to use it.

Beauty Blogger Basics: Camera + Quick Editing

In my blogger career I have used three cameras with prices ranging from $199 to $900. I'm not a professional photographer but I'm blessed with a natural eye because I'm a videographer. 

I spent three years in college earning my diploma for it.

So when I'm asked what camera to purchase I think I have some background to make a good choice. Here are some insights that may help you:

Red Lips for Valentine's Day from MAC!

I'm rocking a red lip for Valentine's Day from the Dane Edan collection. I picked it up at a MAC sale a few months ago. The color is VERY similar to Rudy Woo but glossier.

I think this is fun!
