Stuff We Love: Schick® Intuition ® Limited Edition Razors

Schick’s Intuition ® Limited Edition Razors are the ultimate beauty accessory! These are the first and only razors that lather, shave and moisturize in one easy step.

I had a chance to try out the Intuition® Pomegranate Extract razor (pictured above) and absolutely loved it! My skin was soft, smooth and smelled lovely after I shaved. This all-in-one product is stylish and saves me space in my already, over-crowded shower. The razor is also great for travel – no need to pack the shower gel and lotion. Just add water and your skin will look great!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wipe brushes clean after each use with a baby wipe, and thoroughly clean once a week (soak in warm water with a clarifying shampoo, gently rub the hairs, and rinse), then let the bristles air dry.  This will remove not only makeup residue, but body oils and dead skin, which are havens for bacteria.  Always store the brushes upright in a cup, or in a makeup bag when traveling.

Stuff Hipsters Hate: A Field Guide to the Passionate Opinions of the Indifferent

From the dive bars of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg to the dirty alleys of San Francisco’s Mission, the urban hipster has redefined American cool with a sighing disdain for everything mainstream.

Hipsters are easily identified by their worn-out shoes, fixies and PBR tallboys, but until now no one had investigated beyond the hipster look to the even more hilarious hipster psyche.

With personally researched articles, revealing illustrations and helpful charts, Stuff Hipsters Hate exposes the bottomless well of impassioned scorn that motivates the ever-apathetic hipster.

Written by Mashable.com blogger Brenna Ehrlich and  Psychology Today editor Andrea Bartz, the book is a hilariously cynical lesson in all things hipster.
