Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor Testimonials

Check out what these Spiced Beauty readers had to say about Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razors.

Stacey Huitikka
I really like the idea of having a high quality disposable razor. i use them for traveling and keep one in my gym bag. it is light and the handle is very comfortable, it does a very good job on the legs too.
a nice clean shave.

I have mixed reviews about this razor. While it does remove fine, thin hair easily, it takes a few tries to remove coarser, thicker hair. I love the ease of use, since a shaving cream required when using this product, because of the hydrating bar that is built into the razor. This is functional for travel, or even for day-to-day use since it eliminates the need for any additional products. Although, it takes a few tries to remove thicker hair, once the hair has been removed, it leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. The five blades remove fine hair with ease, as compared to razors with fewer blades. My favourite part of the razor is the moisturizing serum because it doesn't add to much bulk to the razor and it left my skin feeling smoother than it has with any other razors with built in shave bars. The pros definitely outweigh the cons for this product, it is worth a try and I would consider it an essential for bathing suit season.

I don't usually use disposable razors and didn't really expect much from the Schick Hydro Silk. I was pleasantly surprised with the smooth, close, shave. My legs were left feeling soft and smooth and completely free of hair. I have used it for the last two weeks and it is still very sharp. I have changed my thoughts on disposables, since using this razor, and will definitely use this brand again! Shari

I have nothing by a very positive experience with the Schick hydro silk razor. I particularly like the moisturizing conditioning serum strip on the razor. I didn't use any shaving cream, just water, and I still had a very smooth and close shave. It didn't irritate my skin nor did I cut myself, which is always a plus!

The handle and grip was very comfortable to hold and the razor was easy to control.
I would highly recommend this razor to my girlfriends and family members.

First I would like to thank you for the chance to review the Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor. Second, I want to comment on how great the handle is on this razor. It fit perfectly in my hand. The designers did an awesome job on this one! I really like this razor and will buy one once I need to replace this one.

So far so good with this razor! I actually think I may like it more than my Venus embrace razors! No nicks or red bumps at all, and I love the moisturizing strips on it! It also covers a lot of surface area, so less time spent shaving! YAY! My legs stay super smooth.

I used the Schick Hydro Silk Disposable razor I received. Well, let me tell you, it worked really well! I used it on my arm pits and my legs. It left them feeling very very smooth and soft. I've used disposable razors in the past and they left my legs (and arm pits for that matter) with a bad burn feeling afterwards. This razor, The Schick Hydro Silk Disposable razor left me with no such burn. It left it feeling very smooth and touchable. I would definitely recommend these razors to friends and family

I was so happy to review the Schick Hydro Silk Razor.
As soon as I opened the package I knew that it was shaped perfectly for the natural curve of the inside of my hand and had a natural spot where your finger would go to hold the razor in place!
The shave was extremely close with no nicks, cuts or razor burns!
I found that the movement of the razor head enabled me to shave around my knees and ankles with ease. I was able to easily grip the razor which is important to me because I have arthritis in my hands.

My legs felt really smooth after using this razor which was a pleasant surprise, that I very much appreciate!I also like that it came with its own razor guard! I don't know of many disposable razors that have one and with my grandkids running around this is a great safety measure! I feel that this is a top of the line disposable razor and I won't hesitate to purchase them in the future!
Thanks so much for the opportunity!

When I tested out this razor I was pretty skeptical. I didn't think it would be as good as it was. It provided a super close shave. I have a regular schick hydro razor and did just as good of a job! I give this Azores a 10/10 stars! Thank you to schick for letting me test out and review this razor! :)

Susan T
I found that this razor gave me a close shave without any nicks. I didn’t use shaving cream because the serum strips built into the razor were moisturizing enough that I didn’t need any. I loved that the handle was big and easy to hold onto in the shower!

My top five picks from Sephora for the Summer

I don't know about you but I can spend all day in Sephora.  
Just swatching make-up and smelling scents. I know you can relate!

One of the biggest gems in Sephora is their own support brand. 
Great price point and a lot of variety for all skin-tones. 
Next time you go be sure to check out what they have. 

I know it can be overwhelming at times- so I compiled a list of my top five products.


Let's get started with the lips. The Sephora Lovely Lips Lip Balm Duo - Salmon Pink & Light Pink ($15.00) are a must-have! I keep one in the car and one in my purse. 

You can wear them alone or underneath your lipstick.

Sweet and delightfully pink, this lip balm duet provides a sheer wash of color for a hint of spring anytime of the year. The soft balm is enriched with karité, a hydrating, butter-like texture that protects and comforts the lips. Apply morning and night under or over your favorite shade of lipstick or gloss for an enchanting, warm look.
Out of all the lash types out there, fringe always be my favourite. 
In my opinion, it's the most natural looking lash. Plus they can be cut to be used as accents. 
I love the fact that the Fringe Benefits Lashes ($12.00 CDN) comes with it's own glue. 
Once your done with them clean them off and it back in the "case".

Bat stunning, show-stopping eyes with this set of gorgeous lashes. Go from day to night in an instant by applying one of the four tracks of lashes and customize a look that complements your mood.
In the summer, it's great to have a multipurpose product like this. I carry my Waterproof Star Eye Shadow and Liner ($12.00) in my makeup bag for any last minute festivities. Purple night is pigmented and suits my skin-tone. Plus it does not budge!
Rock an intense, ultra-luminous shade with this multitasking shadow and liner formula. The foam texture glides and blends flawlessly into the skin for pleasant application and a second skin-like sensation. The stay-put formula promises bold, beautiful color for hours.
Bold nails are in for the summer! 
Sephora has some of the most vivid and glossy nail polishes that I've ever tried.
The Color Hit Nail Polishes are only $6.00 (CDN)!

Left- Girls Night Out - Scintillant
Right- Voodoo Doll - Violet
Love your nails with bright, beautiful colors that last. This collection is formulated with a unique combination of resins and waxes that provide fast drying, five-day shine. Get high coverage in one stroke, from classic must-have shades to vibrant, fashion-forward hues.
Last but not least, every girl needs a great makeup remover and mascara. The mascara is great for building long luscious lashes. * Just let it dry in-between coats*. The makeup remover is great for removing the mascara and also for removing water proof makeup!

The Outrageous Volume Set at only ($18.00 CDN) is a huge deal that you should get your hands on.

Get outrageous. Outrageous Volume Mascara delivers extreme volume for lashes with a triple-reserve brush that intensely loads lashes in only one brush stroke. Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover is the makeup eraser, removing all types of makeup, even waterproof, without feeling greasy. It contains a complex rich in flavonoids and olive wood extracts to strengthen the appearance of lashes.

You could probably do great Summer look using all of the items that I showed above.

Yes you seen the f-word in the title. F-A-L-L! Yes I said it. It's coming and we need to talk about it.
In my opinion fall has the most gorgeous colour palettes and inspiration. 

I had the opportunity to attend an amazing Body Shop event back in June. 
It was the first time in a while that I've "ohhh" and "aweee" over products. 

Let's start off with Honeymania! I love honey. 
Grew up with it and I would never get tired of it.
Trust me everything smells as good as it looks!

Honeymania features for rich community fair trade honey that comes from the Ethiopian rainforest.
 The line has everything you need such as lip balm, bar soap, bubble bath melt, shower gel, eau de toilette, body scrub and butter. (In-stores Oct 7, 2013)

I should add the soap is the lowest price point starting at $4.00 dollars 
and the highest is the body butter at $20.00. 

This August is all about color!
The new colour crush collection has 30 Mono eyeshadows to choose from. One of my favorite things about the shadow was the pigmentation and the staying power. These eyeshadows are blend of community fair trade Brazil nut oil, marula oil, honey, organic virgin coconut oil and sesame seed oil. Everything is 100% cruelty free. Each shadow cost $10.


I could not leave the lipstick table. The new colour crush lipstick collection is something that you should definitely get your hands on. 24 vivid colors that range from the brightest reds to beautiful nudes and the sweetest pinks. Each lipstick is affordable at the price of $13.
Look at the pigmentation!!

One product that should be on every beauty blogger list this August is the new camomile make-up removal collection. I fell in love with the cleansing butter ($16) &Muslin Cloth ($8.50).

Sunscreen tips + Coppertone picks

I'm in the last minute stages of planning my vacation. The week is set but I still don't know where I want to go! I'm just ready to pack and get out of North America. Caribbean beach life will be mine... (even if it's just for 7 days.) One thing I know that I will have in abundance well be sunscreen.

I got some great tips from Coppertone which will help you on your beach vacay!

When is the best time to apply sunscreen?
• Apply 15 to 30 minutes before exposure
• Use at least 30 ml of sunscreen to protect an average-size body
• Cover all exposed areas. Don’t forget ears, nose, the top of feet and the back of knees!

Do I have to reapply after going for a swim?
Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, especially after swimming, vigorous activity, sweating or using a towel.

What is the shelf-life of sunscreen?
