Shopping: Philips Satinelle Soft Epilator

5 June, 2011 Nelia

Since the age of 16 or so, I’ve always used epilators to remove my leg hair. Once you get used to a little bit of pain, the pros definitely outweight the cons. And though, I’ve stuck to the Braun brand in the past, when offered an opportunity to try Philips Satinelle Soft ($69.99), I decided to give it a go. And after using it for almost a month, I can honestly say that I’m a Satinelle convert!

What I really liked about Philips Satinelle Soft is the speed and efficiency of hair removal. While usually, I spend around 30 minutes on my legs, with Satinelle Soft, all I need is 15 minutes! It definitely has a lot to do with the hypo-allergenic discs for sensitive skin, which remove hair as short as 0.5 mm. But that’s not all.

If you’ve never used an epilator before, there are a few things you should know:

– Yes, it hurts a bit, but only if it’s your first time, or you haven’t used it in a while. Once you get used to it, it’s really not that bad. If you’re still not convinced, the Satinelle Soft Hair Lift & Massage attachment lifts even the short hairs for extra close epilation, while it relaxes your skin for gentler hair removal at the same time.

– Yes, it does take a bit longer to epilate your legs, as opposed to a quick shave, BUT…your legs will stay silky smooth for around 3 weeks, before you’ll have to pull out your epilator again. Also, your leg hair will become much softer and not as coarse with regular use. Think long vacations without worrying about stubble.

– If you worry about ingrown hairs, make sure to exfoliate your legs (exfoliation glove included).

– Another cool thing about Philips Satinelle Soft epilator is the Shaving Head attachment with the bikini trim option, which follows contours of your bikini line or underarms for a close and smooth shave. Comes with additional comb to cut longer hairs before epilation or to trim your bikini area.

After using epilators for over a decade, I cannot imagine shaving my legs ever again. If you hate stubble, razor burn, razor cuts, and shaving every day, I promise that you’ll love using Philips Satinelle Soft.

Holidays 2010: Cool Guy Gift Ideas

22 November, 2010 Nelia

For some awful reason, gift-buying for le boyfriend is particularly difficult this year. I don’t know if it’s due to the lack of paying attention on my part, or due to his lack of wanting things. I’m guessing it’s the former.

Oh, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, check out Holidays 2009, and Valentine’s Day gift guydes. Any other suggestions? Please feel free to let me know in the comments…I am still not done shopping!

Philips SensoTouch 3D Shaver Preview

4 October, 2010 Nelia

If your boyfriend/husband/father is difficult to shop for, then you might want to read on! A couple of weeks ago, the lovely Leslie of One Voice invited le boyfriend and I to the launch of the newest and most advanced Philips shaver – SensoTouch 3D. The first ever line of wet and dry 3D electric shavers, created to provide men with an expertly close shave and an advanced shaving experience that leaves the skin ultra smooth, with minimal irritation.

No stranger to Philips shavers (he’s currently using Philips Arcitec), le boyfriend already knew that a Philips shaver does the job better than any other he’s ever had, but we still couldn’t just take their word for it.

To demonstrate SensoTouch 3D’s abilities, a professional barber shop was set up, complete with a barber (flown in from Montreal), and a scruffy, but handsome model. We watched the barber shave each side of the model’s face with and without shaving gel, and the results were great – just look below at the “after” shot. Not bad, right? Afterwards, other attendees were invited to try SensoTouch for themselves. And though le boyfriend looooves his Philips Arcitec, he did admit that SensoTouch shave felt “closer” and faster.

Here are some of the features of the new Philips SensoTouch 3D:

  • GyroFlex3D: Minimizing pressure and irritation, the shaving cap pivots around, tilts inward, and flexes outward to adjust seamlessly to every curve of the face and neck
  • SkinGlide system: Also minimizing pressure and irritation, the smooth surface with rounded edges glides effortlessly over the skin for a flawless shave
  • UltraTrackheads: Catching every hair with fewer strokes, channels help to catch longer hairs, slots catch the normal length hairs, and holes catch even the shortest stubble
  • Aquatec sealing enabling the use of shaving gel for additional skin protection and water for skin rejuvenation 
  • Skin friendly precision trimmer, perfect for mustache and sideburn trimming
  • Battery powered for 60 minutes, or 20 days, of shaving time

The four models of Philips SensoTouch 3D shavers are available now and range in price from $229.99 to $329.99 CDN. SensoTouch shavers are also available in 2D (with slightly less features) ranging in price from $139.99 to $219.99. If your guy is still using disposable shavers, this is definitely one item to keep in mind for the upcoming Christmas season! And just to let you in on a little secret, Style Blog might be doing a little gift-giving in time for the holidays…so if you think your special guy would like one, make sure to check back. I’m sure with a shaver like this one, snuggling up by the fireplace might be a bit easier on your face as well!
