Review: Philips SatinPerfect Epilator

A few weeks ago I recieved a Philips SatinPerfect Epilator to review as a member of BzzAgent.com .  At first, I was a little nervous to try the Epilator, as I'm a leg shaver and was worried that using an epilator might hurt (I'm way too scared to try waxing -- ouch!).  Since I needed to review the product, I decided to be brave and give it a try.

I was happy to find that it didn't hurt as much as I was expecting it to.  It felt similar to the sting you feel when you're plucking your eyebrows, and once I got used to the sensation, it really wasn't too bothersome at all -- almost a little ticklish, maybe. 

Upon my first try, I wasn't so sure I was happy with the way the epilator worked.  I didn't think it made my legs as smooth as shaving does, nor did I find it faster than shaving by any means.  My legs were also fairly red and bumpy -- but I was glad to see that the redness faded in about ten minutes time, and the bumps went away overnight (they do suggest in the manual to use it at night, so that your legs can go back to normal, not to use it directly before an event).

I thought the epilator did a good job, but not a "great job", and compared to shaving (which I was already very used to), I wasn't sure I'd make the switch to using the epilator full time.

But then a few days went by.  I didn't need to shave my legs yet.

Then a few more days went by.  I only needed to use the epilator on a few spots that I had missed on the first run anyway.

It's been nearly two weeks since I first used the epilator, and as long as no one was touching my legs (because they don't feel perfectly smooth right now), there's barely any visible leg hair and wouldn't need a 'touch up' yet.

I'm sold.  This is the most amazing thing.  Typically, I'd have to do a quick shave every three or four days if I wanted to keep my legs perfectly smooth.  Nearly TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING, and I can live with my legs how they are.

The Philips SatinPerfect Epilator is awesome, and I highly recommend it if you've been toying with the idea of trying something new for leg hair removal. 

I have some $10 off coupons as well, which I'm willing to mail out if anyone would like to email me their mailing address (wonderworrier@gmail.com).  I've had some trouble finding this epilator in stores, though, to know how much it retails for, however I did see a one-step higher version of in my local mall, and that one was about $129.  The Epilator that I received is only for legs, so I think it would cost slightly less than this other version.
