The “No Wax” Alternative

Ladies, I KNOW you’re dying to hear about this! “What could it be,” you ask. It’s called [drum roll please]…. The Epilator. A few weeks ago, I tried this product after having tried waxing and then going through some laser hair removal at a DC facility. I heard about the epilator through a random online site and it promised to give me the same results as waxing, minus the hefty bills you’d rack up from visiting a salon. So, did it work? In fact, it did.

Now before you throw on your flip flops, grab your keys and head to closest Target, let me tell you a couple things about the epilator first. This device is basically an electric tweezer. Does it hurt? Yes, BUT, it is not any more painful than getting a wax. Of course, this depends on your level of pain tolerance, but it is like anything else, after awhile… you get use to it. The biggest difference is… it takes longer to achieve those smooth, prickle free legs because most epilators on the market have a small rotating head. The coverage is not very substantial, but it gets the job done.

So, would I recommend this product? Considering that nowadays, everyone is searching for ways to save, I would highly recommend the epilator because you will obtain the same silky finish to your legs, just as if you had waxed… AND you only pay between $40 and $80 dollars, ONCE! That’s much better than forking out that amount on monthly services in the salon.
Where to find these annoying little miracles: Target, Amazon.com, beautychoice.com, just to name a few. Good Luck!

P.S. Please don’t try to give yourself a Brazilian with this thing… word to the wise! LOL
