Eyebrow Shaver ~ This has saved me from going out with bad brows many a times. Say, you have to go to an impromptu party and your eyebrows are 'argh!', and you know last minute tweezing them will only lead to redness (and swelling if you have thick hair), an eyebrow shaver is your go-to tool. You have to have this. This one I have is by a brand called Lesasha, which I got from Bangkok many years ago, but still does its job well until now.
Rounded tip Scissors ~ How many of you poke your forehead while trimming your brows with those ordinary pointy scissors? This will prevent such mishaps. Can be used for trimming nose hair too.
Tweezers ~ If you don't have tweezers, you belong in a cave ;p. Brows, upper lips, peeling dry/flaky skin...well, they're just the best!
Wax Strips ~ For waxing upper lips. Just cut them into 1/1 inch squares so you can wax every inch of your upper lips.
This next one is a necessary tool for me. What about you?
Nose Hair Trimmer ~ I click a lot of pictures of myself (what a narc! =D), and in some pics, my nostrils look like a jungle! Especially since I take Biotin tablets (to make my hair longer and thicker). I'm telling you, trimming your nose hair is necessary girls + less itching and sneezing =D. Once I used wax strips to remove nose hair and I ended up with a whole lot of butter paper cuts around my nose. BAD idea! haha...
This is a men's Philips Shaver, which has many attachments like hair trimmers and stuff. I don't have to tell you whose it is :)

hey is it advisable to use veet strips on face to get those upper lip hairs???? have u done it? am soooooo scared thinking abt it. but if its effective do gimme a reply. will muster the courage somehow if its not a bad thing to do. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's advisable or not, but yes I do it all the time :). People wax eyebrows. so upper lip is no different
ReplyDelete♥xx♥
Great Post Cynthia..I recently got my face waxed and i am repelling it til date..Thankfully i dont have long hair in my nose..Thank Gaawd...theky look eeeeeewwwwwww1:D
ReplyDeletei love using veet ^^ waxing doesn't hurt :P
ReplyDeleteFor me its a thread!! I thread my upper lips on my own!! I have bad upper lips here, well they are not dark, but they are fine and numerous. Of course, waxing is great too. I was talking to a friend and she said that she is too much of a wimp to wax/thread her upper lip on her own. I was like whattt? get over it! lol.
ReplyDeleteI get really bad chin here too, and I am 23...I dont know where they came from? May be its hormonal, but i am not very hairy, in general so they piss me off. I carry thread everywhere when I am travelling. Thread is a life saver for me. Its cheap, not messy and you can't be allergic to therad! yay!
The only problem for me is eyebrows. Its so hard to find good eyebrow threaders here in my city..so my brows always look retarded!
and yes, tweezers are a MUST!
ReplyDeleteI have been through it all..hair removal is so tricky sometimes. Great article C!
Aah! The eyebrow shaver is such a relief :) more than the tweezers these are a savior for me :)
ReplyDeletei have used veet for upper lip...dey wernt of any help...dey dont remove fine hair i thnk...
ReplyDeletenice article..wer in india wud v get eyebrow shaver ? sum brand ?
You are using Biotin tablets asking the doc first? or do you not need to ask the doc? And If you use those kinds of hair growth tablets will it effect the whole body hair growth like arm pits,nose,bikini and arms legs?
ReplyDeleteNice round up Cynthia..Have been intending to get the eyebrow trimmer for a while now. Saw both the normal one as well as the battery run kind..any suggestion which would be better...
ReplyDeleteI could probably benefit from that eyebrow shaver (mine looks like crazy spider legs a lot of the time...lol!) but I know my klutzy nature tells me otherwise. I may just end up with no brows! XP
ReplyDeleteI tried this once! With Veet wax strips only. Applied the strip and pulled it off. But the wax was sticked so badly that later i had to do so many remedies to get that wax removed from my upperlips.
ReplyDeletenice post and the eyebrow shaver is a must for me too. nose hair trimmer is a good idea as well.
ReplyDeleteSneha there are finish wipes that come with these strips, u can use those to clean up the wax

ReplyDeleteits really easy!
oh thanks girl...will watch it
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia , am new to your blog and am loving all the posts, really love your make up particularly the halloween one....in the products in this post the eyebrow trimmer, would it help in removing the hair on the upper lip as well cos i have very sensitive skin and cannot use epilatory creams
ReplyDeleteHi Amritha, thank u so much! The trimmer/shaver could make u have more upper lip hair with frequent usage...n also ingrown hair coz it's like shaving. Maybe u should tweeze instead? It's easier n less painful after a shower. Other times u can apply ice cold aloe vera gel before n after tweezing.
ReplyDelete♥xx♥
hey thank u for the reply...u just saved me the trouble of chasing down this product, i thread most of the time ...pain is a factor but mostly time is the trouble ...cant get to the salon everytime they grow and thats like superfast
ReplyDeleteI know what u mean...I also can't run to a salon every time...
