Being a girl on the go, I’m always looking for ways to make my life easier by cutting time off my daily routine. I take shorter showers in the morning and some days, I may decide not to wash my hair to save some time (and my sanity). Another part of that routine that I try to put off until absolutely necessary is shaving. Some days, I forget to do it, only to get out of the shower and realize it’s not the best day to walk around with “more hair than I care to share” on my legs. I was recently introduced to a product that is perfect for this scenario, allowing you to shave without water. Busy Beauty’s Showerless Shave Gel is a fabulous new product that gives you more flexibility when it comes to your shaving routine.
* Complimentary Product Received for Review & Feature.
According to Busy Beauty, 1 in 3 women skip a shower each day. If you are one of these women, this is an ideal product for you. It’s so easy and quick. The Showerless Shave Gel allows you to shave in under 5 minutes with no water needed before or after shaving! You simply smooth on the gel and shave as you normally would with a razor. Rub the excess gel in as a healthy post-shave moisturizer.
As a camper, this is a product that I definitely need in my life. There are times when I’m camping that I would prefer not to shower, but also don’t want to be rocking the sasquatch look on the hiking trail! If you are camper like me, I would put this on the “must have list” for sure.
Not only is this a perfect product for the campers out there, but it’s great for traveling (TSA approved), taking to the gym, simply conserving water, or if you’ve had a medical procedure or surgery that restricts you from bathing, this product will give you the option to shave without the water.
What I really loved about this product is that I have sensitive skin and was worried about razor burn or irritation. Because the Showerless Shave Gel contains soothing Natural Essential Oils of eucalyptus, clove, ginger, oat and tea tree, there are none of the usual suspects you’d experience dry shaving. No bumps, burning or redness. My skin was smooth and silky.
The Showerless Shave Gel is paraben free, alcohol free, cruelty free and 100 percent vegan. You can purchase this product on the Busy Beauty website for under $10. Each bottle should last for about 15 leg shaves.

Due to having chronic medical problems, I chopped off my hair a few years ago and just kept it short. Well, that’s all changing and for the past 10 months I’ve been growing it out. When I started it was above my ears and now it’s below my chin & just dusting the top of my shoulders. I’m pretty happy with how it’s coming along.
With that said, I’ve been trying out some new hair styling tools to help me get the right look. Recently I received the CHI Onyx Euroshine 1” Crimping Iron that provides volume and texture to create unique styles and festival looks. The 1” Onyx ceramic micro-ridged crimping plates produce noticeably shinier results. In addition, the preset temperature settings offer easily recognizable and customizable temperature selection per hair type.
What is it for:
Tight crimped pattern that can create volume at the roots and adds the ultimate texture pattern to any hairstyle.
Who is it for:
For the consumer looking to add finishing accents as well as volume and texture to styles.
Key Features:
• 1” Onyx ceramic plates for impeccable shine creation
• Micro-ridges produce instant volume and texture
• Preset temperature settings for various hair types
• 370°F – Fine
• 395°F – Medium
• 425°F – Coarse
• 30 second heat up
• Max temperature of up to 425°F
I’ve been using my new CHI Onyx Euroshine Crimping Iron for the past 2 1/2 weeks and absolutely LOVE it! Within 30 seconds it’s fully heated and ready-to-go. This quick heat-up time is perfect for busy women like me! Frankly, I just don’t have the time or energy to spend 1-2 hours getting ready in the morning. I like to be in & out of the bathroom within 30 minutes…max!
Next, I have some mobility issues and I love that this crimping iron is lightweight and it fits comfortably in my hand. I don’t feel like I’m holding a weighty bowling ball at all, it’s extremely lightweight, but yet well-balanced and durable.
Another added bonus is that it’s easy-to-operate. I basically just turn it on and let it heat up to the preset 380 degree temperature. There are plus & minus buttons, so you can adjust that temperature to suit your own needs. With that said, I keep it on the preset 380 degrees which works perfectly for my hair.
This is one of the easiest & fastest ways to do my hair and in less than 7 minutes, I’m totally done and on my way. My mother has longer and thicker hair than me and she’s loving it too! It takes her about 10 minutes to do her hair with it. Finally, sometimes hot irons can cause damage to your hair, so I’m loving that it’s ceramic. I’ve noticed absolutely NO drying or damage to my hair at all. NONE!
You can find the CHI Onyx Euroshine 1″ Ceramic Crimping Iron for sale at LoxaBeauty.com for around $150.00. That’s a great price for a high-quality professional hair styling tool. I’m giving it 10 stars out of 10 stars on my rating scale and trust me, it’s worth every dime!
