Gilette Venus® Embrace Sensitive VoxBox Unboxing & My Initial Impressions #ItsNotMe

Have I mentioned lately that I love getting VoxBoxes from Influenster? Everytime I get a box I feel like a little kid on Christmas! Sometimes you have no idea what will be in it and sometimes they give you a general idea like the brand of the item(or sometimes items) that will be in there! I knew I was getting something from Venus, but at first I had no idea what it could be! Any Guesses??? Too late here it is!



They sent me the NEW Venus Embrace Sensitive before it even hit store shelves! YES! SCORE! You have no idea how much I love getting to test and review new products BEFORE they even hit store shelves! For me it makes the experience that much cooler! Quick Fact: Did you know that 60% of women believe that their sensitive skin gets in the way of a close, smooth shave; but the skin symptoms women are experiencing may just be irritation from using the WRONG razor?!

So here's a little rundown of the features & their promises:


  • A closer shave with Less Irritation
  • 5 Blades Spaced Closer Together for reduced pressure per blade (compared to the Venus Original 3 Blade Razor) 
  • Dermatologist tested for sensitive skin
  • Easy to change cartridges 
  • Protective Ribbon of Moisture with 8 times more glide boosters & touch of Aloe (again compared to the Venus Original 3 Blade Razor)
  • Soft Grip Handle
  • Interchangeable Refills (Refill cartridges fit any Venus Razor Handle) 
My Initial Impressions

So far I'm impressed by the features of the Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor! I REALLY like that the refills can fit ANY Venus Razor Handle and that they are easy to change! I like that because sometimes like every other girl I know when I decide I like a brands product I like to try some of their other products too! And REALLY!? Who wants to HAVE TO buy a new razor handle every time they want to try a new cartridge? I personally think its easier, and more cost effective for the consumer when a brand allows your razor handle to interchange with all their cartridges! Don't forget it's earth friendly too! =-) An applause goes out to Venus for that! With 5 blades spaced closer together you can get the job done quicker with less chance of having missed spots or that 1 stubborn hair left over (you know the one that you always notice AFTER you get out of the shower!) All my fast paced BUSY mommy's out there will probably all happily thank Venus for that feature!  I also love that the Venus Embrace Sensitive includes aloe! As we all know I'm a Florida girl and I love the sun so any extra aloe is greatly appreciated! Aloe is also known to help keep the skin from being easily irritated!  Less chance of red spots and razor burn! All my sensitive skinned girls I know will probably be happy for that! No girl I know wants to be at the pool or the beach with red spots or razor burn on their legs! Overall I'm REALLY excited to try the Venus Embrace Sensitive based on all the features this razor has and will be posting my review in the coming week! So keep an eye out for it friends!
