On the mascara but fierce criticism is not because the color is greatly accentuated and the application quite simple, without smearing or look dirty. The mascara actually deserves full marks and like my wife very well.
The situation is different with the Venus razor. This has in addition to the blade up and down two "pillows" with a care substance of Olay, which is to protect the skin particularly. The with skin protection may well be, but this should be done in conjunction with shaving. But just this thick "pillow" prevent a simple contact with the skin, or you have to press the razor firmly so that the blade can cut anything at all from the growth of hair. My wife wanted to remove their underarm hair, but here the shaver failed completely. Due to the high contact pressure no clean shave possible and the lead is therefore unwieldy. On leg shaving was possible, but is the result behind a normal ladies shaver.
Nice gift, but the Venus razor could not really convince. Because of the good mascara we forgive after this experience, therefore, three stars. No real recommendation.
