There’s a lot of talk about confidence these days. Online, it looks like big energy and perfect looks, as if we all have to show up as people who have figured everything out.
But at the BIC Miss Soleil 鈥淔eel Like You鈥 Booth, at HERtitude 2026, something different and quieter was created. It was a space where women could talk about confidence the way it actually shows up in their lives; through routines, rituals, and the small acts of care that help you step out feeling like yourself.
BIC Miss Soleil, and a lot of the women we spoke to, believe that 鈥榝eeling like you鈥 starts before you walk out the door. It starts with how you care for your skin. A smooth, clean shave. A simple step in your morning routine that just works for you, the kind of thing that quietly sets the tone for everything else.
At the booth, we asked women a simple question: what actually makes you feel like you?
Here鈥檚 what they said:
鈥淚t鈥檚 the little things, honestly.鈥: Amaka, Data Analyst
鈥淟ike when I take my time to get ready, even if I鈥檓 not going anywhere serious. Just doing my routine properly makes me feel put together. It鈥檚 not about who is seeing me, it鈥檚 just for me.鈥
鈥淐onfidence starts with how I take care of myself first鈥 – Kike, Entrepreneur
鈥淚 don鈥檛 leave grooming to chance. When I鈥檝e done the basics like shaving and skincare, I feel more ready. It helps me ease into my day with more confidence.鈥
鈥淚f I don鈥檛 feel well-groomed, I don鈥檛 feel fully ready鈥 – Sofie, Lawyer
鈥淚t鈥檚 not about doing too much. It鈥檚 just that basic grooming, like smooth skin, helps me feel prepared. It鈥檚 part of my routine before I face the day.鈥
鈥淚 don鈥檛 think confidence just happens. I build it鈥 – Ifeoma, Financial Consultant
鈥淚 don鈥檛 always feel confident, but I have a simple morning routine that allows me to take time for myself. Once I get into it, I start to feel better. It鈥檚 like I ease into it.鈥
鈥淔eeling fresh is part of feeling like myself鈥 – Grace, Mum
鈥淔or me, grooming is personal. It鈥檚 not for anyone else. When I鈥檓 well-groomed and feel smooth, I feel more like myself and less distracted by everything else.鈥
鈥淚 just want to feel like myself, not like pressure鈥 – Sade, Writer
鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of pressure online, to look a certain way or be a certain way. I鈥檝e stopped chasing that. I鈥檓 more myself when I鈥檓 around people that don鈥檛 judge me, like my close friends or my sisters. That鈥檚 when I鈥檓 most comfortable.鈥
If you listen closely, they鈥檙e all saying different versions of the same thing. Confidence is not one big moment. It’s a collection of small ones. The morning shave that leaves your skin smooth and cared for. The routine you can rely on. Being around people who let you be yourself. Doing the things that make you feel comfortable before you step out.
That鈥檚 where grooming and self-care comes in. It doesn’t have to be something major or dramatic but a part of a sacred routine. It can become something steady, something you can rely on, and that helps you feel empowered and like yourself. And that鈥檚 really what BIC Miss Soleil brings to you.
The BIC Miss Soleil focuses on what your skin feels like after the shave. Three blades work together for a close, precise shave, while the pivoting head follows the natural contours of your body, so every stroke is smooth and controlled. The curved handle gives you a secure grip throughout, making the whole process feel easy rather than effortful. Built into the shaver is a lubricating strip enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, which works to hydrate and protect your skin. You finish with skin that feels genuinely soft and cared for rather than dry and sensitive. It is the kind of product that easily earns a permanent spot in your routine.
At BIC Miss Soleil, we believe that when everything works the way it should, you can focus on what actually matters: feeling like yourself and stepping out as the best version of you, every time.
