First Look: Phillips Satin Perfect epilator


This is a first look into the Phillips Satin Perfect epilator. I wanted to share my experience while using this epilator for the very first time. I've never used an epilator before, not many people have. So for those of you who are not quite sure what it is, an epilator is this device that acts like a many tweezers in one. The purpose of it is to grab and pull out the hair quickly as you glide it through your skin.
I carefully read the instructions thoroughly because I don't want to have any mishaps. The instructions were pretty clear, it tells you what piece goes where and what it does. While the epilator was charging, I took a hot shower to help open and loosen the pores. It's supposed to help with grasping the hair and pulling it out. 


Anyway, I get the correct head piece to use for first timers. When you turn on the machine, it makes a buzzing sound, and the things in the middle start to spin. I slowly glide the device against the direction of hair growth. There's a little light on it that helps you see. My first time was painful, I'm not gonna lie. It felt like a bunch of tweezers pulling out my hair at once, or worse, waxing in slow motion. I tried it on my legs, and it hurt like heck! I had to turn on some music to try to distract myself.  The epilator had a harder time grasping the thinner hairs, so after I was done with my legs, I could still feel a couple of prickles. It looked like some of the hair was "shaved" off instead of pulled out.

After 14 days, the hair has grown back, however, it didn't seem to be as thick. I've tried it on my underarms but that kind of pain is a whole other topic. I'm going to keep using this and do a full review with before and after pics on a later post (maybe...I'm not sure if you guys want to see hair like that, lol).

Have you tried epilating? What are your thoughts on it?
