I bought an epilator last week and I finally got it today :) I honestly don't know why I bought it LOL (probably because it is purple hehe) but I felt that I want this. I regularly go to salon to get my underarms, upper lips and bikini area waxed. I tried waxing by myself as well but it requires alot of effort and I find it too messy when I am doing it. I thought I would save time and money if I will just buy this.

So I ordered the Emjoi Soft Caress Gold Cordless Rechargeable Epilator from BeautyChoice.com for $69.95 (+$29.21 shipping). I was excited to get this really but to my dismay, Philippine customs charged me Php1,271 tax for this. I am like WTF?! There is tax for a freaking hair remover?

Oh well, even if I have to pay more than what I am expecting for this I am excited to try this out. :) I will post another review after I have tried it 2-3 times. For now, I will share with you things you get with the epilator and its features.

Packaging: The packaging is good specially if this product is intended to be shipped. It is enclosed in a tight PVC plastic (#3) so the item is secured from damage. The only trade off is I had a hard time opening it. I had to cut it with big scissors. :D

Accessories: The package includes the epilator, adapter, protective cap, massaging finger attachment, cleaning brush, loofah, and carrying pouch. It also includes instructional manual. If you also have bought this product, it is important that you read it before using the epilator.
