Wax in, wax out

Since living here in the big city, i have become quite the adventurer. As in trying out new things like getting myself waxed. ha ha...pretty tame for an adventure eh?

Not really. For a probinsyana like me, waxing is like not even included in the priorities. I am not sure even if it is a topic that deserves attention. Yup. So like the first few months here malling, there was so much choices and products that only then did i know that exists. But of particular interest to is how smooth the legs of girls here in the city. ha ha. ang babaw!

Anyway, out of curiosity and envy (ha ha) i bought myself Veet Hair Removal Cream back in 2009 i think and i just opened it now, 8th day of 2011.  It's not expired yet,  by the way.  It just took me that long to find the time and the courage to try it eventhough i,ve already tried being waxed at a salon. So, i did the standard patch test to check for allergic reaction. To be conservative about it, i applied it for only 5 minutes, rinse it off with water and waited for 24 hours to see for any reaction. Thankfully, there was none. Fastforward to now, after applying a not so thick amount on my legs, five minutes after the hairs did come off so i'd rate it a 4/5. Pretty good for a product really but compared to shaving, its much of a hassle yet. So try it for yourself.

Facial Care Center

I am in my late 30's and well i have become not vain but rather conscious of the fact that i already have very visible wrinkles in the face as well as discolorations brought about by my recent pregnancy to ann margaret. And if truth be told, you see a lot of younger,beautiful, intelligent women around who don't seem to possess the moral values necessary to stay away from somebody else's husband and so, but it takes two to tango.


Anyway, i went to facial care center and see what they can do to improve my skin. Apparently, there's a lot that they can do and it is also very expensive to somebody like me who has limited means. To make my story short, i was able to find a beauty package which is affordable in the sense that it was charge to my credit card and payable by installment at 0% interest. I have to see if what they advertise is true.

So they suggested that i use the REPECHAGE OPTI-FIRM skin firming series for me. These products along with regular salon treatments promises renewed skin firmness, smoothness and younger looking skin. The clinically proven results revealed a 21 % increase in skin firmness both superficially and integrally, 12 % increase in skin thickness and density and 36.6% decrease in superficial facial lines.

The products are the eye-contour, a night cream renewal complex, day cream lift cream spf 10, a revitalizing cleanser, toner along with a facial scrub and a twice a week mask.

Ordinarily, I would not be the type to indulge in these vanities but i suppose i felt deprived during those months of pregnancy and somehow it is uplifting to the spirit to be beautiful and pampered.

Let's see if there will be an improvement.
