I never post reviews.
But this one needs a post.
Back in the day (pre-kids) I used to get my upper lip threaded. Loved it, cleaner than waxing, and no bumps or over-exfoliated skin. Fast forward to a house full o' little ones and I turned to waxing at home. I've waxed for about 9 years now. I've had various friends try to learn me some threading, but I've never been able to pick it up.
But on a whim I picked up this handy gadget (I only posted this link as it doesn't seem to be on sale here at EDS, mods, if it starts to be carried here, please let me know so I can change the link!)
Holy smooth lip batman! I use this beauty every 3 days or so. It can get really short hairs so by using it every 3 days, I have a perfectly smooth lip all of the time--no waiting for it to be long enough to wax. It does pinch a bit more than waxing, but doing it so often makes the pinching minimal... and there is no skin irritation because it doesn't touch the skin... so no having to arrange waxing around my retin A use anymore!
I did wax before I used it the first time. Firstly, because I remember how having a full lip threading felt and secondly to get the learning curve. It probably took 5 uses for me to be proficient. It wasn't hard in any way to learn, but it was more like try, try, oh that's it... try, try, got one... try, try, yes! And then my brain just figured out how to duplicate the successful passes, if that makes sense. Now I just do a few quick passes, literally a minute or two every evening. After washing but before cream (you don't want the cream to make the hair slippery or gunk up the spring)
I just can't imagine not owning this little guy... |
