NovaFab Mini Razors Review

One of the less glamorous parts of a beauty routine is hair removal, but it's something most women do on a regular basis. I tried the new NovaFab Mini Razors and I think every woman should add them to their routine!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

The NovaFab razors were originally designed for men, but they're great for women, too. They're designed for precision trimming and can be used on difficult to shave areas, like around your knees, eyebrows, and bikini line.

The Solo Trim Shaver and Razor Comb are available in a two-pack combo or individually. The shaver worked especially well for me.

As you can see, both the shaver and the razor comb have a tiny razor inside that's protected by a plastic comb cover. I'm not ashamed to admit that I get a little peach fuzz on my upper lip from time to time, and the shaver was perfect for removing it. I prefer not to wax that area because the skin is so sensitive, and the shaver quickly and efficiently removed all traces of hair.

The razor comb is recommended for use along your eyebrows, but I'm in the process of growing mine in so I was afraid to get too close with this, even though it is easy to use and maneuver. I settled on using it on the big area under my eyebrow, away from the eye and closer to my temple. It was great at catching stray hairs and removing them.

Bottom Line: The NovaFab Mini Razors are a great tool for any guy or gal. I liked how easy they were to use and how well they removed excess hair in tricky areas. Their small sizes makes them perfect for travel and on-the-go, too!

Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo Review

My scalp is unfortunately very oily so dry shampoos are a must. I've been using the new Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo line and I'm loving every single one of them!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

There are four great varieties to choose from: Unscented, Fresh and Floral, Volume and Fullness, and Detox and Purify. The full-sized versions are 5 oz and the Volume and Fullness is available in a travel sized 1.15 oz spray.

I tested all four over the past two weeks and every single one produced great results. I figured the Detox and Purify would work best for my hair type, but I can honestly say that they all were equally fantastic!

The Volume and Fullness shampoo has a weightless formula that cleans and transforms hair from lifeless to bouncy. It absorbs oil between traditional washes. It has a slightly sweet scent that I liked quite a bit. I apply dry shampoo on fresh hair because I like the extra volume and texture it gives, plus if I apply it after my hair is too oily it doesn't do anything but clump up into residue. This gave me good volume and worked well to absorb oil throughout the day.

The Detox and Purify shampoo removes oil from roots without leaving residue for clean, purified hair. It helps control oil so you can skip a regular wash. This one has a clean scent and also left my hair feeling great throughout the day. I could run my fingers through my roots without it feeling too gross or tacky from product and oil build up.

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the Fresh and Floral shampoo because floral scents tend to make me sneeze and aren't my favorite, but the scent on this is light, fresh, and really enjoyable. It was equally potent and effective at keeping oil at bay as the other shampoos.

The Unscented shampoo is probably the most universally appropriate one for all hair types. If you're looking for an effective dry shampoo that's fragrance free, I highly suggest this one. I like the scented ones a lot, but having an unscented option is great for people with scent allergies or who just simply don't want their hair to smell like any extra fragrance.

Each of these shampoos retails for $3.99, so they're incredibly affordable. The travel sized Volume and Fullness bottle is only $1.99. I've used much more expensive dry shampoos that didn't work nearly as well as these!

Bottom Line: I loved every single one of the Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoos! The scented ones were fun and I was surprised at how much I liked the Fresh and Floral scent. All four gave me extra volume and texture and helped keep extra oiliness at bay. They're very affordable and effective, so I give them two big thumbs up!

September BookCase.Club Review and Coupon

The Thrill Seekers and Strange Worlds cases from BookCase.Club had another collection of great books! I love this subscription and it's such a treat getting new books every month.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

BookCase.Club sends two new, hand-selected books each month for $9.99 with $5 shipping. There are several themes to choose from, including a BookCase.Kids box with children's books. Here are the options:

• Thrill Seeker - mystery/thriller
• Strange Worlds - sci-fi/fantasy
• Teenage Dreams - young adult novels
• Blind Date - paranormal romance
• Booking for Love - romance
• Quarterly Cook Books - two cook books every three months
• Quarterly Military History - two military history books every three months

The Thrill Seekers case has great mystery/thrillers. This month's box had two hardcover books, Sting by Sandra Brown and House of Secrets by Brad Meltzer and Tod Goldberg.

Here is the synopsis for Sting from Amazon:

When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a disreputable backwater bar, something definitely sparks. Shaw gives off a dangerous vibe that makes men wary and inspires women to sit up and take notice. None feel that undercurrent more strongly than savvy businesswoman Jordie, who doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou. But here she is . . . and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill her.

As Shaw and his partner take aim, Jordie is certain her time has come. But Shaw has other plans and abducts Jordie, hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother has stolen and, presumably, hidden. However, Shaw is not the only one looking for the fortune. Her brother's ruthless boss and the FBI are after it as well. Now on the run from the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on their wits-and each other-to stay alive.

Miles away from civilization and surrounded by swampland, the two play each other against their common enemies. Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but it soon becomes clear to Shaw that Jordie isn't entirely trustworthy, either. Was she in on her brother's scam, or is she an innocent pawn in a deadly vendetta? And just how valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and manipulative captor? Burning for answers-and for each other-this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move that could be their last.

Here's the synposis for The House of Secrets: 

When Hazel Nash was six years old, her father taught her: mysteries need to be solved. He should know. Hazel's father is Jack Nash, the host of America's favorite conspiracy TV show, The House of Secrets. Even as a child, she loved hearing her dad's tall tales, especially the one about a leather book belonging to Benedict Arnold that was hidden in a corpse. Now, years later, Hazel wakes up in the hospital and remembers nothing, not even her own name. She's told she's been in a car accident that killed her father and injured her brother. But she can't remember any of it, because of her own traumatic brain injury. Then a man from the FBI shows up, asking questions about her dad-and about his connection to the corpse of a man found with an object stuffed into his chest: a priceless book that belonged to Benedict Arnold.

Back at her house, Hazel finds guns that she doesn't remember owning. On her forehead, she sees scars from fights she can't recall. Most important, the more Hazel digs, the less she likes the person she seems to have been. Trying to put together the puzzle pieces of her past and present, Hazel Nash needs to figure out who killed this man-and how the book wound up in his chest. The answer will tell her the truth about her father, what he was really doing for the government-and who Hazel really is. Mysteries need to be solved. Especially the ones about yourself.

I didn't read the science fiction/fantasy genres much before I started receiving BookCase.Club boxes, but I'm so glad I get their Strange Worlds case because they've sent great books that have given me a great appreciation of the genre. This month's case had The Dark Side by Anthony O'Neill and Eleanor by Jason Gurley.

Here's the synopsis for Eleanor:

When a terrible accident claims the life of Eleanor’s twin, her family is left in tatters, and her reality begins to unravel, dropping her in and out of unfamiliar worlds. When she returns to her own time and place, hours and days have flown by without her. One fateful day, Eleanor leaps from a cliff...and vanishes. In a strange in-between place, she meets a mysterious stranger who understands the weight of her family history: Eleanor’s twin wasn’t the only tragic loss. And unless Eleanor can master her strange new abilities, she may not be the last.

Here's the synopsis for The Dark Side:

Purgatory is the lawless moon colony of eccentric billionaire, Fletcher Brass: a mecca for war criminals, murderers, sex fiends, and adventurous tourists. You can’t find better drugs, cheaper plastic surgery, or a more ominous travel advisory anywhere in the universe. But trouble is brewing in Brass’s black-market heaven. When an exiled cop arrives in this wild new frontier, he immediately finds himself investigating a string of ruthless assassinations in which Brass himself—and his equally ambitious daughter—are the chief suspects.

Meanwhile, two-thousand kilometers away, an amnesiac android, Leonardo Black, rampages across the lunar surface. Programmed with only the notorious “Brass Code”—a compendium of corporate laws that would make Ayn Rand blush—Black has only one goal in mind: to find Purgatory and conquer it.

Bottom Line: I'm really excited to dig in to all of these books, especially Eleanor. BookCase.Club has sent another great set of books!

Maple Holistics Peppermint Essential Oil Review

I've always enjoyed the scent of peppermint, and of course the flavor in mints or other goodies. I never knew that peppermint oil has a lot of health benefits, though, and the Maple Holistics 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil delivers all of them!

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Peppermint essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the peppermint bush. It's a strong antiseptic and antimicrobial agent ad can be used to treat wounds and cuts on the skin. It's also a potent pain reliever that cab treat pain superficially or internally.

One of my favorite ways to use peppermint oil is when I have a headache. I apply a drop or two onto my fingers and then massage it into my temples and it really does help soothe my headache. Peppermint oil is able to be absorbed by the skin, leaving a cooling and soothing sensation.

Peppermint oil is also great for treating skin issues like acne, rashes, and burns. The cleansing properties of the oil work to kill germs and nourish and rejuvenate skin cells. The menthol in peppermint is what creates that cooling sensation on the skin, but it also is excellent at combating acne.

You can use peppermint oil to soothe internal issues, too. Whenever I have an upset stomach or feel bloated I love a good cup of peppermint tea. Peppermint oil is safe to ingest to soothe stomach issues, or you can inhale the scent if you don't want to ingest it. It works wonders to break up my bloating and stomach aches!

The 100% Pure Peppermint Oil from Maple Holistics is made only of the essential oil, no additives or preservatives. It's steam distilled from peppermint leaves and then cold pressed into oil form. It smells just like a candy cane and is great for so many uses, as listed above! Peppermint oil is one of my favorite essential oils because it's so versatile.

Bottom Line: The Maple Holistics 100% Pure Peppermint Oil is excellent. It smells wonderful and has so many uses. I definitely recommend adding this oil to your pantry!
