Product Review: Remington Lumasmooth

So two weeks has come and gone, so what's my verdict?
Well it has worked, I have been moulting hairs for the last few days, not as much as I'd like but I think that's more a case of the patchy manner that I used the machine.
The light emitting part of the machine is tiny, from sight I would probably say it's about 2cm squared. Itsy bitsy when you take into consideration I've used it on my legs, so every time I use it, it's a bit of a labour.
I've used it twice now, with a fortnightly gap between but I'm going to up that amount to weekly just to get it done.
When you're doing large areas the machine has a habit of overheating. The machine then stops function for 40 seconds while it cools down and lets you go again. Annoying.

Would I recommend it? So far only for those who have the time and patience for it, but if I do end up not having to shave daily during summer, I will certainly be happy with it. I'll Probably come back with a final verdict in another month or so.

Bought! Sportsgirl and Lovisa

Today I finally wore the Edna Dress I bought a few weeks ago as mentioned here, and my god, what a comment magnet! Heaps of girls at work ooh'd and ah'd, a few had to touch and two of them named the label. impressed by my office cohorts. I also have to mention it is perhaps a little too booby for the office ... but that won't stop me from wearing it again, it's too nice!
I also had a trundle about the mall in the cool evening and picked up a few things, starting with a quick bargain top from Sportsgirl for summer, I'll wear it either with tight jeans to balance it out or tucked into a waisted skirt for a cuter look.

 

Sportsgirl Bold Stripe Top $19.95 here.

I've never bought anything from Lovisa before so I am wary, due to my 'princess syndrome' (inability to wear cheap jewelry without obtaining a fetching welted rash). But today I decided to risk it and had a look at the 2 for $15 rack, I selected a cute bow brooch and a silver necklace with a button pendant. I plan on using the brooch to cover up a glue stain on a handbag.

Incoming: David Jones' Spring 2011 Beauty Catalogue

I love change of seasons, after months and months of looking at the same things, the same styles, it all changes and becomes shiny and new again.
So when the boys handed me my pile of mail today I was very pleased to see the new David Jones' catalogues in the pile. (But I can't help but think, maybe they wouldn't be in such financial distress if they didn't bind their catalogues like a magazine?)
I am totally stoked to see the new Invisible Zinc UV Silk Shield Foundation SPF 30+. (Phew, mouthful much?) Living in Queensland means that wearing sunscreen is a no brainer, unless of course you like the idea of getting chunks of flesh operated out of you, or want to look like a handbag at 30. My advice is to wear everything with sunscreen in it, moisturiser, foundation, if it can come with an SPF, buy it with an SPF, and use it every time you leave the house. Invisible Zinc is an Aussie icon when it comes to great SPF products, if you haven't tried them, give them a go.

OPI is also coming out with it's next country location themed range of colours, this time they're touring America, I think the 'I Eat Mainely Lobster' colour with look great with a fake tan on my toes this summer.

Also I love the message that Napoleon Perdis is telling his customers. "Think you can't wear red? Think agan." It's true, if you don't believe you can you just haven't found the right shade yet. I recommend going up to the make up counter and asking them to recommend a shade for you. They'll apply it professionally, and show you how as well. Have the confidence! I can guarantee you will get tonnes more attention then usual! I you want a softer option, try a bright gloss first.

All products are available at David Jones.

EDIT: Oops, totally forgot to mention too! (No, not because it was on the back cover and I missed it, not at all.) David Jones are doing one of their great 'buy any full priced beauty or skincare product, and for another $20, get a bag FULL of beauty samples' deals. I highly recommend picking it up, even if you don't use them yourself the items make great presents as a lot of them are full sized.
