Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment® Razor ( Coconut Milk & Almond Oil)
Having hairy legs? Try Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment® Razor ( Coconut Milk & Almond Oil). 

Overall, it does shave off hairy legs without damaging our skin. Skin feels smooth after use. However, it needs quite a long shave before shaving off the hairs cleanly. Some stubborn hair still not able to be shave off cleanly, leave the skin feeling spiky. Hair gets stuck inside the razor and on the conditioning solid, requiring additional tools like brush to clean it.

My Review
When it comes to products for hairy legs, my mum is always my guinea pig. She got the perfect stubborn hairs on her leg to test out products. 

It's the same case this time round and she is more than welcome to try them on. 😜 

The razor size is normal and packed neatly in a box. 
Packed neatly in a box.
There are 3 items in the box. A cartridge refill, the razor + a cartridge already attached and the razor holder. 
There are 3 items in the box.
I like it that all the items are sealed in plastic and there are covers to cover up the blades and conditioning solid. Very hygienic.

And it is thoughtful of them to provide the holder too to hold the razor after use. 
Holder provided.
Holder can be stick to wall.
The extra cartridge is place nicely in a container, convenient for me to store it in my cupboard.

Nothing special about the shape of the razor. It just look like any other normal razor. Great that the blade is covered.

One of the cartridge is already attached to the razor. This is the first time I see razor blades being surrounded by conditioning solid. Looks really cute to me. There is a nice almond smell from the conditioning solid.

The cartridge is easily detectable by pressing the two button at the side of the razor.

Ok, my mum and I really seldom use razor. Therefore, the first problem we face is how to shave in the right direction. It need some practice. I need to hold it in the right angle and shave it in the right angle during the start and end.
4 blades for a close shave.
It is still Ok at first but soon become really messy. 🙈 First, hair start to get stuck in the blade as well as on the conditioning solid. 
Soon become really messy.
Then as I shave further, the conditioning solid become dryer, leaving white cream on the skin. 
Shaving in progress.
As I wet the conditioning solid again and then continue shaving, some of the hair from the blade get transferred onto the skin. Makes it really hard to differentiate if the hair is shaved or not shaved. 
Makes it really hard to differentiate if the hair is shaved or not shaved.
My mum then have to wash her leg and then wash the blade, then continue to shave 🙈. This time, the conditioning solid become really soapy. We really did shave quite a few rounds for quite sometime before it's clean.  

Skin feels smooth after shaving. But some stubborn hair still not able to be shave off cleanly, leave the skin feeling spiky. 

The razor gets really messy after used. My mum needs to use her own brush to brush off the hair on the blade. Hair on the conditioning solid needs to be wash off too. From what I see, the razor still cannot be hair free after clean. I still see hair stuck inside the blade. 
Before and after use.
Well, there are plus points and minus points for this product. But my mum seems to find the after cleaning of the razor really troublesome. 

Where to buy it?
Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment® Razor can be bought from Watsons, Guardian, FairPrice and Cold Storage at a retail price of S$14.15.

Came in glass bottle printed with pink label.
The drink itself is as usually in brown or yellow in color. This case, it came brown in color. 

It is in watery texture. Not thick at all. It actually taste a little sour to me and I can still taste the fishy taste. Therefore, taste not really to my liking. 
It taste a little sour with fishy taste.
I actually have 6 bottles of them. But I am not able to comment still on the effect after consuming all of them as I still see nothing yet. Maybe it needs longer time + more bottles of consumption? 

For me, I won't consider this collagen drink as I have consumed better once. For you to judge. :)

Came in a small capsule.
The lid can be easily opened.

I was told that 1 capsule can be used twice, but I manage to used it for 3 times. So do not open up the lid all the way, because you can cover it back for the leftover.
Lid can be covered back for the leftover.
The face powder wash really look like those powder detergent that my mum used to wash clothes. ;P And I thought it will consist of heavy soap smell but I can really smell nothing from the powder. 👍👍👍
Look like powder detergent.
But one thing, when pouring the powder onto my palm, I can accidentally pour too much amount as sometimes when I pour, all just came out together. Can be a little difficult sometimes. 

Ok, after playing around with the powder, it really gave me a big❓. Will it really lather foam out of the powder? Or I will end up washing the powder down the basin with nothing left for me to use?
Easy to lather.
Well, I worry for nothing. Coz it is super easy to lather. I like !!! 😍
Foam formed after lathering.
And after washing, it feels really refreshing and smooth. I also observed that it helps in removing my dead skin cell and white / black heads too. It is not over drying too. Skin feels supple. 

It leave a really great impression to me. Nothing negative for me to pick. Just that price wise is rather expensive.

Turns out beautifully cooked meal by me, a person who do not really do cooking often. I quite like the texture of the quinoa. It taste just like brown rice being chopped into smaller size. But it is not as hard as brown rice and not as soft as normal rice. Somewhere in the middle.
