Epistick Facial Hair Removal - Review
What It Is: Facial Hair Remover
What I Paid: .49 CAD
Where To Buy: Ebay
My Review:
When I first seen this product on youtube it seriously looked like a joke to me, but at the same time it looked like a funky gadget to remove facial hairs. I paid literally .49 cents for it from ebay, china of course and it took about 2 weeks to arrive which is pretty good.
I did read a lot of reviews and complaints about how painful it is. I tried this as soon as I got it and holy crap this hurts a lot. I usually wax and tweeze so I am used to the pain but seriously this hurt me a lot.
I have been trying to get used to the pain and I have been using it everyday for about 5 days now, and I am sort of getting used to it now.
Overall I think it's a cool gadget to have. I like that I don't need a mirror to use this tool, I can watch TV to distract myself from the pain.
I still think waxing is much more quicker and affective. Removing a large amount of hair with the epistick is time consuming, so it all depends on you if you think it's worth it.
Spring Coils
Areas You Can Use This Tool On:
- Forehead
- Chine
- Upper Lip
- Cheeks
- I would not use this on my eyebrows since it's not a precise tool
How I use This Product:
Bend it in a U shape on the area you want to remove any hair and roll the handles in the opposite direction. The hair will get trapped in the spring coils.
Here is a video showing you how to use the Epistick
Pros:
- Affordable on Ebay
- No mirror needed to use this product
- Does not irritate my skin or leave any redness
- Removes very fine hairs
Cons:
- Hurts like hell, especially in the beginning
- Does not take out a lot of hairs at one time, you do have to go over the same area a couple times
Overall:
If you are sensitive to waxing I think you should definitely give this beauty tool a try. I still personally prefer waxing because I can remove larger areas quicker,but for smaller areas I think this product is affective, but it does a hurt a lot in my opinion.
Final Verdict:
3/5
