Hair Wars: Chapter 4-- continuing saga

Emjoi Chic Epilator

So, a part on the inside went bonkers.

My legs looked like I was a cutter.

Unable to repair.

Argh.

Bobbi Brown: Bag & Brushes

Makeup bag & Mini Brush set

Okay, I always used to shy away from the Bobbi Brown counter, I thought the sales staff was over-enthusiastic, & that unnerved me. 

Now I see that they were right-on. Dead-on. Spot-on. Perfect.

I think I am now a Bobbi-o-phile.

The bag is super-cute, a mini shaving bag, zips around 3 sides.

But the brushes are AMAZING!!!

There's a lip brush, an eye-shadow brush, & a foundation brush. 

No random hairs left on you after using, just your make-up, right where you want it!

The handles are small, so you can easily carry them with you, but the brush parts are perfectly sized.

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

Philips Sonicare: Flexcare RS930 w/Sanitizer

My sister got me this as a gift.

For some reason, she thought I'd like the model with the Sanitizer...

Yes, I love the UV Sanitizer. It makes my toothbrush a far less germy place. What's not to love about that? It takes all of about 5 minutes & is quiet. Done & done-er.

The toothbrush: Clean, Sensitive, Massage, Go Clean, & Max Clean modes.

You can make it so that there's a bit of a pause every 30 seconds, at which point you should switch quadrants. There's an illustrated instruction manual.

It makes noise, don't be surprised by the sound, but the sound does not echo in your head. No, the echoing is from too-strong vibrations, not from hollowness.

It is fairly gentle, does not at all feel like I am using a jack-hammer to brush.

Holds a charge for a fairly long time.

I like that I can adjust the cycles.

My dentist will like that I am no longer eroding away my gums!

Trish McEvoy: The Point

So, I admit it-- I've never owned a "good" brush before.

If it didn't come as part of a bonus, I didn't have it 

(sidenote: I now know that most of the bonus gift brushes are horrible). 

I was good with spending the money on powder, lipstick, whatever--but could just as 

easily apply it wiith a cotton ball, my fingers, or from the tube, right? WRONG! 

One application later, I was searching through my stash to find out what else I could put

on with this little wonder brush! No odd hairs on my face, pigment where I wanted it to go...

The design allows precision placement, but also superior blending.
