ENGLISH MUM: A shining star of wonderful gorgeousness

Jul

Ow, that feels…quite nice

Filed under: Uncategorized — English Mum @ 6:14 pm

Ooh, I’ve got a great new gadget. It’s one of those evil, instrument of torture-type hair plucking things called a Braun Silk Epil Xelle or something like that, I can’t find the box now. The smalls are absolutely horrified that I would spend good money (more than Pokemon Pearl for Nintendo DS, apparently) on a teeny little machine that actually rips your body hair out by the root. And Hubby walked in on me doing my legs this morning, stared hard at me, then walked back out again. Bertie didn’t seem overly bothered, and sat next to me on the bed while I did it. He did keep an eye on me though, and I made extra sure that I didn’t get it too close, what with him being a tad hairy and all - it could have been very messy.

I know this will sound a bit weird, but I absolutely love it. I’ll admit that I did nearly cry while using the armpit attachment (I know! An attachment just for pits!), but you soon get used to it, and it plucks the hairs out when they’re really tiny so you’re always smooth and lubly. And the pain’s kind of grown on me, like when you’ve got an insect bite and you finally give in and give it a really long scratch? Kind of therapeutic. There you go, I’m obviously odd. Odd, but no longer hirsute, natch.

I’m glad you didn’t ley Bertie get too close (he being challenged in the whisker department at the minute).I thought about getting one of those things a while back because I shave my legs.I’ve had a terror of wax after a mishap in my teens - suffice to say I missed the bit about pulling the strip off quickly!.Is it really that good?…hmmmn.Does it have a bikini line attachment?..

Is it really that good? I know what you mean about the pain feeling good.The first time I had my eybrows shaped (with a tweezers for cryin out loud!)it hurt..now I shape my own and quite like it.I thought about a silkepil a couple of years ago but didn’t follow through…Hmmmn.
Oh and thank you for the nod on the blog log.You’re on mine too.

You’re welcome! It is bloody good - too much information, but I’d only shaved my armpits a couple of days ago and they were a bit stubbly, used my new gadget and they were totally hair free. I really recommend it.
