review: Bikini Perfect Deluxe - Spa Edition
Bliss/ Philips have a winner with Bikini Perfect Deluxe - Spa Edition.
Having never used an epilator, I was nervous. I've used it for underarms, legs, bikini line (not Brazilian) and lip (not a recommended use but it's GREAT). Bye-bye waxing and stinky depilatories!
The micro trimmer rids nose hairs (gross but hey, we get them) and the same job for tinier areas "anywhere," including shaping brows. Used with height attachment, it takes off any unruly over-growth: be careful! I accidentally buzzed off a little more eyebrow than I'd have liked, although there were no "bare skin emergencies," just "whoa, that's an eyebrow-crewcut!" It grows back, you’re fine.
The mini trimmer (with height attachment) makes sure what hairs you choose to keep are perfectly the same length and removing the height attachment means they can be "kept in line."
Included Bliss’ Spa samples provide a chance to try out some of their products. Lemon-Sage is a nice scent, if strong for sensitive noses. The scrub uses medium-sized scrubbies and the lotion is medium texture, too. They’re not too harsh, not too little, not too thick, not too thin: it will please most people. Either careful use or good luck are with me as I’ve not needed the ingrown hair pads. I’m keeping them in case of emergency.
It all comes with a cinching bag to carry the device, charger and all attachments and keep them out of sight.
For the first use, you’ll need to charge the device for a minimum of 10 hours. With each use, you should let the machine drain down and then fully charge to maximize battery life. I recall my father doing the same thing with his electric shaver, so it’s not demanding. Verbiage states it should run for 35 minutes before running out of charge but I find with properly following instructions, I have over an hour and a half of use before the power drains (take off the head and let it run completely down after finished). I use it once a week to handle all concerns.
Usage notes:
•This epilator is less painful when pulling out shorter (week's growth) hairs than letting grow longer, as one normally would for waxing.
•By moving back and forth in slow swaths the width of the epilator “blades,” any discomfort is lessened and fewer hairs are missed.
•Slower seems to pull out hairs by the roots, faster seems to break hairs off -- we want them pulled out by the roots.
•After epilating an entire area, taking perpendicular swaths will help pick up any strays.
•When finished, I apply a thin gel called “Seamollient” by Garden of Wisdom. It takes the red out and I’ve not experienced any ingrown hairs for the month that I’ve used this device. I'm not affiliated with them, it just works for me.
I haven’t shaved or waxed this whole month and can’t see why I ever will again! I can’t recommend this highly enough for those who hate waxing and the resulting break-outs from it or shaving constantly. This is the best beauty purchase I’ve made from Sephora -- ever. If it breaks, I'll buy another one just like it.

Note: It's not about the ooey aspects of astrology, but with some simple open-minded consideration, anyone can see how astrology is a personification/anthropomorphic interpretation of astronomy--Storytellers wanted to make the facts more memorable, maybe.
Here's something that will gives the picture of how influential the moon is in the cycles of our world, as it relates to the growing of vegetables and such:
