Bubble Gum Wax @ Sri Hartamas

I'm very sure that most some most of you had been thru a thing called "waxing". Dont get me wrong ya, the wax which I meant is apply a hot sticky liquid which either hardens or get stickier on your skin. You might be wondering why do people wanted to do that right? Nothing better to be done??? Nope. The job doesn't stop here, after that, you get to strip them off from your skin...WHILE YOU CAN GO HAIRLESS!

aaaa.... That smooth baby skin feeling... exactly the feeling of 20 freaking years YOUNGER!!!

Anyway, I've been trying out this new thing since few months ago. Of course, I started on my lower legs first. Do you know how tired it is for me to shave (the plastic blade type) or even worst-PLUCK with my stupid small tweezer????? And they (hairs) grow faster than my booty does! YES! I'm still hoping for my butt to grow like J Lo!

To avoid me spending extra time shaving myself, I paid for a soft wax package for a waxing salon at Damansara near the The Strand. To be honest, I liked their job. Magnificent! Yup, this was recommended by a very famous blogger.

After that, I got tired to plucking hairs from my *ahem ahem* underarms too. Spending half hour, concentrating on one side to another, carefully plucking them. I don't mind the time, BUT, they grow as fast as two days which I think it is nonsense for people to always say "plucking them last for a month than shaving them directly!". HELLO! Same result as well lor! Some more, over concentrating made me headache X 2, for the sake that I have two underarms. ALAMAK!

So, I went for a first trial for underarms IPL. IPL is a light that kill roots (which I was told), so that there won't be any hair growing anymore(at least 80% guaranteed depending on the person's hormone). The girl which helped me to complete the trial told me that it was just an ant bite. So basically, what I have to do is to wear a plastic goggles and make sure that my eyes are shut tight cause the light can hurt my naked eyes. During the process, she applies a layer of cooling gel. The weirdest part is she didn't shave prior shooting the light at my underarms. And believed me, it wasn't just an ant bite. Its a bunch of RED ANTS BITES! and I smell burnt! If you give me a rate of 1 to 10 on how pain it was, I would say 8! Worst than brazillian wax!

Lucky I didn't sign up for the full underarms IPL from that salon, otherwise.... regret die me...

After that first irritating trial, I began to do a full survey based on customer's testimonials online rather than blindly find them from famous blogger's recommendation.

Being as lucky as if I had a rabbit foot, I found Bubble Gum Wax!

Testimonial was unbelievable, most of them was highly recommended by first timers! Some even gave good comments from Groupon purchases. Needless to say-returned customers and eventually become regular customers.

Went for my brazillian there and to be honest, service was comfortable than the one I usually went. Not that I'm saying my last salon was bad, but the girl here kept on distracting me by chit chatting. Friendly... But this wasn't the main dish. The main dish was to try out their IPL underarms.

Before the girl apply the cooling gel under my armpits, she disinfect with some hygiene liquid and put on some baby powder. After that, she started shaving the hairs with the blade. Please note that if you want to go for an IPL, do not tweeze them one week before the treatment. Otherwise, I think its useless for you to do it since you had pluck out all your hairs with the roots with them. When everything is clean and clear, then only she started to apply the cooling gel. I somehow feel that the main purpose of the cooling gel is to avoid my hair get burn or reduces the heat and pain from the light.

Anyway, goggles are on and we're ready to go!

While I was waiting for the pain to come, instead, I felt nothing. Seriously nothing at all! Even though there's nothing to it, but the whole process was a freakout cause even though there's no pain nor feeling, I was still pending for some pain! Obviously I got phobia from my first IPL trial lor!! What a badass...

My last salon only blast me once but in Bubble Gum Wax, they lighted me up three times~ Nice right:? I won't mind extra blasting since it don't hurt me though.

After the first IPL underarms treatment, I can immediately see a lighten skin results. Yes, I'm not joking. I brought my sis along too and she got a better result than me. OF course, that was because she has worser skin condition compared to mine.

I'm now currently on my second week of post-IPL. To be frank, half of the hair fell after scrubbing. It wasn't noticeable till I did a back hand body stretching. AWESOME~

Can't wait for my next appointment on two weeks later. FYI, all waxing including IPL are roughly done once a month ya~
