I have to do some homework tonight… so I’ll just do a really, really quick post.

Sugar hair removal paste recipe. This looks cool, I want to try it cuz I have a thing for waxing and sugar “wax” is easier to clean up than wax wax, haha. You know what I mean right?

 

Schick Intuition Razor October 20, 2008

Filed under: Hair removal — nuts4makeup @ 11:28 pm

I got a free sample of Schick Intuition razor in the mail. I don’t know why because I don’t remember signing up for it, but that’s cool! I heard bad things about it before because the design is pretty weird, they give you the shaving cream already attached to the razor in the form of a bar that surrounds the razor, but once the bar is used up to the point where the head of the razor is there is no way to push the bar back up to use it.

That’s ok though, at least it was free. I’m open to see what this thing can do and if it sucks I can go back to my trusty Venus razor!

I really would like to post more often, but now I don’t have photo editing software on my new computer so I can’t add my watermark to pictures or things like that so I don’t know what to do! Any suggestions?

I finally got professional help for my uneven eyebrows! I found this place on yelp and it is not too far from where I live so I stopped by and it was about 15 minutes til her closing time so there was no one else there. The esthetician [uhh i'm not even sure if i spelled that right] Reena is really nice and she asks if you want to keep the thickness of your brows so you don’t have to worry about over-waxing or over-threading. I told her it’s ok if she made them thinner. When I went there I had a month’s worth of growth and my eyebrows were unruly! The pain level is about the same as if you plucked them so it’s not completely painless, but not terrible either. She was finished in about 10 minutes and I was satisfied with the result. She said that they were going to open another salon as well closer to where I live, so that would be even better!

If you’re ever in the Berkeley [as in UC Berkeley] area, check out M&M Thread Salon! It’s 10 dollars to have your eyebrows either waxed or threaded, its your choice so that’s a very reasonable price. I love knowing there’s a place that I can go if or when my eyebrows get out of control again haha.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t wearing foundation in both the pics above that’s why my skin looks gross haha, sorry.
