Upon being chosen for the Philips Satin Perfect Epilator Campaign, I was sent the complete kit for body and face (Philips SatinPerfect HP6576/50) pictured below:
It contains the Satin Perfect Deluxe Epilator, 4 different attachments (active hair lifter, active massage system with pivoting cap, shaving head, trimming comb), illuminated smart tweezers, adapter for charging, a cleaning brush, and storage pouch.
This kit retails for $149.99 on the manufacturers website.
Before receiving this product to test, I honestly had no idea what an epilator was and I had to do a little research myself. I don't think they are nearly as popular as disposable razors or waxing because even now I rarely hear about them! I have to wonder why because waxing can be quite expensive and it certainly isn't cheap to have to keep purchasing razors or razor cartridges.
Using an Epilator is somewhat like waxing in the sense that you are pulling the hairs out by the roots. It is designed to mechanically grasp the hairs and pull them out - in this case with the SatinPerfect, using rotating textured ceramic discs. It kind of reminds me of a bunch of little tweezers grasping each hair and pulling them all out at once. As you are probably imagining, it IS slightly painful. I think anyone would be fooling themselves to think it isn't going to hurt at all. But, I personally found this to be more bearable than waxing.
When using this product I noticed a longer lasting smoothness and minimal hair regrowth as opposed to shaving with a razor. I have heard people say the first time using an epilator is definitely the most painful and it gets easier over time so I am definitely looking forward to that as I personally plan to keep using this product instead of wasting money on razors ;)
Some of my favorite features of this product include the fact that it has a wide head - when I was doing a little research on epilators I noticed most of them are quite small in comparison and I much prefer the epilator picking up more hair at once. I also love that this epilator is cordless - makes it much easier to use and especially if I ever needed it while traveling or on the go. It has a built in light so it is easier to see hairs that you might have missed, the head is washable (yes, under water! make sure to remove the head first), and all in all (after experiencing a few blonde moments) it was very easy to assemble/use!
I did try out the included tweezers, loved that they have a built in light, but I found the quality of the tweezers to be kind of useless. I really only use tweezers for my eyebrows and the ones included just weren't up to par with my current set - I found it hard to grasp the hairs when using them even though the light made it easier to see them.
