GET IT OR FORGET IT: Silk'n SensEpil Hair Removal System Review

This is without a doubt a "GET IT" product for me.  I love that I don't have to deal with shaving my underarms anymore which I had to do almost everyday. I had dark, thick hair that grew so fast that I would shave in the morning and already have growth that same night. Now, while  I still have a little bit of growth, it is nowhere near what I had before and I can easily just pluck whats left. I started to notice a difference by the 4th or 5th time I used it. One thing I learned though is that you do need to be consistent and not miss a session for it to be effective. I also have to point out that it does say on the box that it can't be used on naturally dark skin nor will it work on light hair.  I purchased this item for $199 on their website https://www.silkn.com/.  Right now, til 8am on Mon 3/30, Hautelook has it for a better price. The same one I got that included 1500 flashes is $159 and they also have the one with 65000 flashes/lifetime package for $259 http://www.hautelook.com/invite/MFooshee605.  I wish I would have gotten the one with the lifetime package so I wouldnt have to buy another cartridge since I plan to use it on other parts of my body but unfortunately it wasn't available at the time. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and I hope you found this review helpful!

My 2012 Beauty Favorites - FACE

I was starting to think I was never going to get this post up but thank God I finally got it done. It was really hard for me to pick just 1 or 2 items from each category but I knew I had to narrow it down to just my ultimate faves.  I will be doing a part 2 and 3 for eyes, lips and all my other favorites. I felt it was necessary to cut it up into 3 parts so this post wasn't ooberly long. Here are all the face products I was obsessed with this past year.

   FOUNDATION

My favorite foundation was and still is Maybelline's Dream Smooth Mousse. I loved this so much I went through 3 pans last year. I also discovered the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation towards the latter part of the year and have also grown to love it.

CONCEALER

I tend to be very picky when it comes to concealers because my eye bags are pretty bad and I have very dark under eye circles. That being said, my top pick for this category is the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. A lot of people may find the formula to be a bit dry but I like that way so it doesn't settle in my creases. Another product I really like is the Hard Candy Glamoflauge. It has amazing coverage but is very creamy so you need to be careful when applying or else it will crease. All you need is a tiny dot cuz a little goes a long way with this concealer.

 

POWDER

My most used powders last year were Maybelline Dream Matte powder, The Balm's Sexy Mama and Milani's Mineral powder. All three have done a great job setting my makeup and keeping my face shine free.

 

BLUSH

I liked the Milani Baked Blushes so much that I bought all of them. While all the shades are very pretty, both Rose D'Oro and Terra Sole were the ones I found myself reaching for the most. I also have to mention Hot Mama by The Balm because this really is a beautiful blush.

 

BRONZER

My top bronzers for 2012 are Elf's Blush and Bronzing powder and the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Dance.

 

HIGHLIGHT

I don't highlight all the time but when I do I use either my Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle or Milani Baked Bronzer in the shade 04 Glow.

My Outfit Today - Going Green!

The dress is by Mossimo from Target and flats by Rock & Republic from Kohls.

For my eyes, I just used a green and a brown single shadow by Maybelline. (Yes, yes, I know...Never match your eyeshadow to your outfit. Fortunately, I dont believe in that rule.)

 

For the accessories, I wore a neon green bracelet from F21, a gold and pink bracelet that I made and another asian inspired bracelet my mom bought in the Philippines. I also wore a flower ring but I can't remember where I got it from.

I went out to lunch with my husband and his co-workers and this is what I wore.

The polo shirt is from Aeropostale. I got the brown leather belt from Target. My denim shorts are from Kohls and I'm wearing coral ballet flats by Rock & Republic. This is probably my most worn shoe this summer. I just love them. Below is a closer pix of these flats.

Here is my eye look.

 

 

I used the Benefit creaseless cream shadow in Bunny Hop on the lid, the reddish pink color in the NYX Perpetual palette on the crease and the burgundy color in the Wet n Wild Knock on Wood palette on the outer corners of my eyes.
