Hair-free beauty: No! No! Hair Removal System


We've tried it all...and if we haven't we vow to once we save up enough money- shaving, waxing, depilatories, lotions, lasers...All the money, time and effort spent to rid of hair, icky icky body hair. If you're like me, you've often times rolled your eyes at the fact that man can walk on the moon yet scientists still haven't come up with a permanent solution to hair removal. If you're like me, you also get excited at any new prospect of permanent hair removal that comes along- no matter how gimmicky. So of course, when I came across the soon-to-be-released No! No! hair removal system on Sephora.com, I was thrilled. It's supposedly a professional strength hair removal system that uses a gentle heat-wave to destroy hair without pain and it's said to reduce hair growth by 64%. Will it work? I certainly hope so. One thing's for sure, I'm going to be in line at a Sephora store as soon as this baby's available.

Yummy Beauty: L, a L.A.M.B. Fragrance by Gwen Stefani

I love Gwen Stefani's style and I couldn't wait to smell her new scent L. The scent is lovely, not exactly as complex as I expected it to be, but I really, really like it. It's kind of a really simple smell, but I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist all day. Like she says in one of her songs, I was feeling "yummy head to toe." L "has top notes of sparkling green freshness, leafy water hyacinth, white freesia, fresh pear and violet leaves; a heart of jasmine petals, rose, lily of the valley, sweet pea and orange blossom, and a drydown of frangipani blossom, peach skin, heliotrope flower and sensual musk." I'm sure tons of people will be wearing this, as it's a celebrity scent, but I will definitely be adding it to my collection anyway.
