The shave butter is now on sale in Superdrug

It's goes on like silk
And for many, getting the pins out means hacking away at the
winter
fuzz.
I'm a dark-haired lass which means I don't have the luxury of just leaving it be.
Usually I opt for waxing, as it lasts longer and gets a smoother result.
However, it costs a fortune - and I find it really hard to fit in appointments around
work

But the team at Superdrug recently urged me to try one of their new,
viral
products, Mallows Shave Butter.
The beauty
innovation
is the brainchild of Laura Mallows, a Cardiff-born entrepreneur who has a background in working for skincare firms.
Fed up with not having her ideas taken seriously, she started up her own firm and quickly gathered
steam
on social media with her bright, fun and super smelling line.
Now, just six years after starting up, she's being stocked in Superdrug, and was recently in Glasgow as part of the store's Beauty Playground launch.

And one of her top sellers is Shave Butter.
It really does look and smell good enough to eat. I tried the 'I'm a Mallows Girl' option, packed with nourishing shea butter and grapeseed
oil
to help banish painful razor rash - something I often suffer from.
Inside Superdrug's beauty playground in Glasgow store - even Gen Alpha will love it
It's suggested you exfoliate the skin first, which I did, before wetting your legs and lathering up with the butter.
It goes on like silk and the razor just glides over your legs.

I was actually stunned by how close a shave I got and how smooth my legs felt afterwards.
Usually my legs are spiky a couple of hours after shaving - but 24 hours on and they're still softer than a baby's backside.
It's £14.95 for a tub but it really does go a long way - and is still a fraction of the price of a waxing appointment. A good deal all round!

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
