Are you looking for a tweezer with it’s own compact? I usually just tweeze my eyebrows using the bathroom mirror. Sometimes I’d take my Cover Girl pressed powder compact and my tweezer to the living room and do it there. It’s nice to have a tweezer that comes with a compact case as well. It saves storage, and easier to find when everything is in one place, know what I mean.

I stumbled upon Floxite Precision Tweezer & Compact 8x Mirror from Overstock.com. The tweezer is ergonomically designed for precise tweezing. The compact case is outfitted with an 8x magnified mirror. The overall rating form overstock is 4.1 out of 5. that’s not bad.

Tweezers are Tweezers but I’d consider buying this for the compact case. This will save me a lout of trouble from digging at the bottom of my purse for my tweezer. $25.99 from Overstock.com.

What is TRIA Beauty personal laser hair removal system?

It’s a first FDA-cleared personal laser hair removal system for you to use at home. Remove unwanted hair on the legs, bikini line, underarms, arms, back, chest, and abdomen in the privacy of your home thanks to TRIA Beauty. 

It uses the same technology that professional diode lasers used by dermatologists. The scientists that worked on the development of TRIA Beauty made the miniaturazation both safe and effective while using it at home.

The science behind TRIA Laser is :

based on the principle of selective photothermolysis: gentle beams of laser energy are absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair follicle and converted into thermal energy, disabling the hair follicle and causing the hair to gradually fall out. Because hair grows at 3 different stages—anagen (“active”), catagen (“transitional”) and telogen (“resting”)—repeat treatments are needed every four weeks for six to eight treatments to reach all the hair follicles at the ideal (anagen) stage when the follicle has a high degree of melanin.

TRIA Personal Laser Hair Removal System includes 3 energy levels. Once applied on the skin, the laser will emit a single pulse which targets multiple hair follicles in half-second intervals. When it’s time to move to the next area, the laser releases a short beep. The time to treat an area depends on how big the area of the skin is.

The system should be used every 4 weeks, and 6 to 8 treatments per area in order to get a long lasting hair reduction results which also gives you the soft, smooth and silky skin that you want. 2 weeks is how long it takes to see good results.

More important information after the fold….

At this time, TRIA Laser can not be used on face, head, ears or neck. There’s also information on the box of the system pertaining to skin tones. People with medium brown and dark brown/black skin tones can not use the system. These skin tones may absorb too much laser light which could cause skin damage. Light skin with tan should wait until after the tan fades before using TRIA Laser.

For safety purposes, after purchasing the TRIA system, you need to call a a toll-free number provided to confirm suitability and activate the system with a special code. A skin sensor comes with the system to confirm your skin tone as well as unlocks the laser before each treatment.

TRIA Beauty Personal Laser Hair Removal System also works with Men with the same restrictions on skin tones and body parts.

It’s priced at $995 and available at Bergdorf Goodman (NYC), The Studio at Fred Segal (Santa Monica, CA), Select Bliss Spas and  TRIA Beauty website.

Smooth Away is another of those infomercial products that I keep seeing on TV. The View featured it yesterday on their “As Seen On TV” segment where co-host Sherri tested the pads and it actually works.

What is Smooth Away? It’s pretty much a pad that could possibly replace razors. Pads are available in different sizes to use for different parts of the body such as the legs, armpit, upper lip, chin, eyebrows and whatever else you feel the need to shave . One other good thing about Smooth Away is that it supposedly exfoliates your skin while buffing the hair away. Whoopi Goldberg was all over it yesterday and if Whoopi says it works, then it must because I highly doubt Whoopi would BS and lie to us .

Smooth Away is offering a $14.99 buy one (set) get one (set) free sale at their official website. If you try it please let me know how it works.

Have You Heard Of Smooth Away?

It’s amazing what you’ll discover on TV when you turn it on at 6 in the morning. Infomercial selling fabulous products. Like this MaxiGlide Hair Straightener. It’s apparently a hair straightener to push flat irons into early or much-deserved retirement.

MaxiGlide is a nifty little hair gadget that was designed with a ceramic technology which creates negative ions that will then distribute heat quick and easy to give your curly and frizzy hair a smooth, shiny and silky hair. Get this, no need to blow dry your hair. MaxiGlide is your one stop gadget to straighten and style your hair. Even the most stubborn wavy hair.

Well that’s what the informercial said anyway. Watch the video at MaxiGlide’s website and judge for yourself. Right now you can get it for free for a 30-day trial but you have to pay $14.99 for shipping and handling. After 30 days and you decide that you like it, you’ll have to pay a 3-payment system of $39.99/month. Yup, that’s how infomercials get you. So be aware of what you’re buying and paying. If you don’t like it, then just return the product. Make sure you don’t surpass the 30 days trial of course unless you wanna be shackled with 3 monthly payments. Anyhoo, it’s your hair so read up on it and decide if MaxiGlide Hair Straightener is the hair gadget that you’ve been looking for.

MaxiGlide Hair Straightener

With all the moving and everything, I’ve kept my Clarisonic in one of the boxes that I somehow kept on looking for the past few weeks now, and just last week, I was able to reunite with my Clarisonic Face Brush again. Smelling some weariness of the old brush head, I guess it was time to change my brush head into a new one. ( and the next one I should buy already! haha! ). I have no qualms using the Clarisonic Face Brush. I can’t quite claim that it kills my zits goodbye or it reduces my pore size – but what I know so far is that it cleans my skin quite well!

I’m still testing it for another month to see if my pores would really tighten! stay tuned!

Back Into Using Clarisonic Face Brush

If my find in the nail polish department last year was the site 8ty8beauty.com which offered lower-than-retail prices of my favorite brands OPI, Orly and Chinaglaze, I didn’t know that there was an online store equivalent for beauty gadgets – hair styling tools, in particular.Until I was introduced to Misikko.com

The selection of hair irons, curling irons, and hair dryers are just ALOT. I think I can jokingly state that they have an “alphabetical” listing of hair styling tools because they just have so much! There’s renowned brands CHI, Corioliss, T3, Tao, Fhi, and so much more.

Aside from the styling tools, there are also complementary styling products from Paul Mitchell, Phyto Hair Care and so much more.Ultimately, this is a hair stylist’s wonderland because of the marked down prices ( I saw something that retails for $200 that is sold for $149! ) and 2-day free shipping!

Now, who’s off to shopping?
