Beauty is pain...

This morning, I received a parcel containing the Philips Satinelle Ice Premium epilator; which guarantees to pluck body hair with the least possible amount of pain. Yeah... Right.

I suppose it does have its plus points, as plucking hair from the follicle tends to lead to smoother skin and softer regrowth. Still, you may want to ask why I would want to go through such an ordeal of getting my body hair plucked one by one. Well, the reason why I'm choosing this option is because I'm becoming rather tired of having to shave my legs every single time I take a shower/bath, tweezing is too time-consuming and tedious, and waxing just isn't an option for me.

So after thinking these issues through, and after being seduced by an ad on TV, I decided to look around for the best epilator, and found this gorgeous electronic hair-plucker for a little under fifty pounds. It comes with a massaging comb... and an ice pack to numb the skin. I've tested the appliance on my arm without the ice pack and though it stings a little, it doesn't really hurt... I haven't tried it on my legs though. That can wait until I've fully charged the thing... Till then, I'll let you know the verdict of how much it hurts.
