***Losing my Dignity*** I used to live in Dubai until last year- and over there, it's very much a case of 'When in Rome' amongst the ladies (or when in Dubai). This includes many indulgencies ranging from beauty to drink to pastimes. The particular 'indulgence' which my sister in law persuaded me to share with her was bikini waxing in a grand hotel, which became a little tiresome to me after a short time. After the mint tea and fruit, you were guided into a lovely relaxing room with ambient music and and a smiling lady in a white coat. The lady who I used to see (we'll call her Violet as that was her name) persuaded me that one should remove all hair from the ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that normally I'm pretty lazy when it comes to hair removal, however I do feel compelled to make sure I have a tidy bikini line when it comes to holidays or going swimming. Recently however, I've felt the urge to de-fuzz again for a different reason as I am heavily pregnant and am aware that in a matter of weeks, all sorts of medical professionals will be seeing my bikini area! Of course, logically I know that a neatly topiaried bikini line will be the last thing they or I will be concerned about when the time comes, however I can't help but feel the need to sort this out before my baby bump grows to such a size as to make any hair removal below it ...  Read the complete review

I am someone who likes investment solutions over quick solutions, i.e using cucumbers underneath my eyes to hopefully prevent deep wrinkles when I'm older. I have never been a fan of shaving as it simply doesn't last long enough (I read an advert on the tube recently saying a woman will shave her legs on average 11,035 times). It is an awful lot! This is why I prefer hair removal creams as they are pain free, and the results usually last at least a week. Not too long ago I decided to try waxing my underarms for longer results. I am not hugely experienced in waxing, infact I don't even wax my own eyebrows as I tend to get them done at the beauty salon above ...  Read the complete review

Ok so a few days ago I was shaving my legs as I usually do and I had cut my leg twice, which bled quite a bit and stung like hell, haven't had this happen in a very long time. I was also getting annoyed that practically every other day I am shaving my under arms and my legs, which is annoying and then the hair is prickly the very next day, so I decided I had enough, I had seen the adverts for waxing saying smooth legs for up to four weeks. I mean 4 weeks!!!! That's amazing compared to two days and then needing to shave again. So I was in Tesco's doing a little shop and decided to buy some wax strips to try them out, which I obviously chose the brand I am ...  Read the complete review

I bought these, though my better judgement should have prevented me from doing so, and hoped that they would be a simple and quick hair removal solution. I've been using my epilator, which is good, but sometimes I think it causes too much trauma and thought that if all the hair came out at once it would cause less stress to more delicate skin e.g. underarms. How wrong I was. I'll keep this short because that is exactly what my experience was like with this product, very very short. Basically the whole thing went in the bin. I simply can not tolerate a product that is this useless. It's supposed to be simple. Use on clean, dry skin. Rub strips ...  Read the complete review
