Whish: as seen in Marie Claire mag & the answer to harsh chemical shaving products

Hello Purty!

Oh I love when I am introduced to something new that works and is sulfate free and friendly.

May I introduce you to WHISH!  


Plus there is a new blueberry scent of this fun and effective line of skin care to help you have a smooth shave free of bumps and grumps.

Popular Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel in a quick swipe form. After a shower, yoga, or spa treatment just swipe the Shave Savour all over for instantly refreshed, cooled, and moisturized skin. All this, and its quick drying formula also slows future hair growth. Imagine that.
Shave Savour is made in the USA with Earth friendly packaging and ingredients. Tested on us, not animals™. 
An 8 pack is $8 and a 20 pack is $20.

I have been playing with my samples and could just pinch myself for not getting a new camera yet! My cell takes icky pictures-though I can honest Indian say that while using my Whish hair inhibiting swipe on my left arm the hair really did slow down in growth and thickness!
