Sally Hansen Hair Removal Review & a few blurbs

Geia sas again ladies! Today we will be talking about Sally Hansen wax strips. You can buy them at Walmart or Walgreens, though Walmart is a dollar cheaper. They are $4.95 at the Walmart by me & $5.95ish at my Walgreens.

It comes with the strips in 3 different sizes, though the largest i usually cut into smaller pieces. It also comes with a little blue bottle of finishing oil, & my favorite thing about Sally Hansen; a $1 off coupon!! Yes in every box, it gives me the motivation to buy more when i'm out so good job Sally Hansen & as of recently they don't expire either!

Above are the instructions they give on how to heat up the wax; DO NOT follow them lol. Here is what i do which is much more effective. I heat up my flat iron & hold the strips in between it for a few seconds. It heats the wax so its actually usable & can hold onto the hair properly. Below i demonstrate:

These are great for facial hair removal & works for arms as well, though i wouldn't try it on tough hair like legs or bikini because you'll only end up with wax stuck on you because it won't pull all the hair out. I've never tried it on the bikini line because i get a Brazilian done, but i don't think i would anyway. Also make sure to pull the wax off from against the grain of the hair.
Over-all i think its a useful product but only for 'light-weight hair' if that makes sense.

Oh & for a tooth update i get my wisdom teeth removed in the morning...i'm really dreading this. So chances are next time i talk/write to you guys i'll be in a lot of pain...*sigh* wish me luck i'm gonna need it.

Today's game ended in a draw which is good but not as good as a win! I loved this picture with the rain falling & its emotions. :)



Two things i'm currently wanting from Lush are the Sugar Babe Sugar Body Scrub & the Porridge Soap bar. Click HERE & HERE to check them out. I also thought THESE little Karma Bath Melt pyramids were cute, they have gold glitter in them and i would buy them but i have a shower with no tub so oh well.

Patience Is a Virtue (That I Don’t Have)

I go to the hair salon every six weeks and I get my eyebrows waxed every four weeks, so you would think that I’m the type of person who gets a manicure regularly. Not so. The only time I really get my nails done is for special occasions - so nine times out of ten, I’m doing them myself. Why? It’s because I just can’t justify spending $10-15 on a manicure when I can just do my nails myself and use the money to buy a fabulous new lipgloss.

Anyway, the problem with doing my own nails is that it seems to take forever. Filing, buffing, and painting are a huge pain in the butt…but waiting for them to dry is the bane of my beauty existence. Frankly, I think that there is something in my DNA that makes it impossible for my nails dry in a reasonable time. You can't even imagine how many times I've gone to sleep with my hands carefully placed on my chest because my nails haven't dried in time for bed.

In the last few months, I’ve picked up some great products that cut my routine in half. And now, I’m happy to share my secrets with you.
