Beauty Product or Torture Device?

If I was to ask a group of ladies what they hated most about their beauty routine some might say, staying up on their hair color to keep the roots at bay. For me it has been making sure I don’t look like I’m taking part in no shave November. I come from a family that has good stock, and by that I mean we can grow enough hair ALL over our body to make it through a Siberian winter. 

For me this has been a struggle starting early in middle school, I remember my mother taking me to get my eyebrows waxed. It hurt but I grew understand it was one of the joys of woman kind. Trust me I have entertained thoughts of moving to France where I could go all natural, on the other hand eww!

I have bought dozen of products and paid for hundreds of trips to the salon. My stylist and I are great friends, we laugh and joke every two weeks that it’s time to tame the beast that are my eyebrows or wax my stache. I have thick course hair that we have determined is attached to my skull! When I look at my mother and grandmother I see it’s not going to get any better with age.

Each time I see a new product I look at them like a skeptic and then just buy whatever little thing-a-majig  with high hopes. While I was out shopping for something cute to wear on date night, I ran across this little doodad. The LindoTwist-n-Roll Tweezers!

The ladies at Main Street Company in Newton had one out of the box and on display. I picked it up and fiddled with it for a minute. It’s a spring with handles for crying out loud! How is that going to keep me from looking like I belong on Duck dynasty as uncle Si's long lost daughter? The Twist-n-Roll Tweezers claim “Lindo twist-n-roll tweezers gently removes many hairs in one twist motion. It's a gentle and natural alternative to other hair removal products.”

Big surprise I bought one, As soon as I got I took it out of the box and followed the directions

HOW TO USE:

1. Bend Lindo twist-n-roll tweezers into an upside down U shape and place the coilfirmly against the skin.

2. Twist the handles outward (roll the thumbs in).
3. While twisting the handles the coil should roll upwards against your skin and remove any unwanted hair in the process. Always keep the tweezers bent in the upside down U shape.

To clean: wipe with a dry cloth.

To disinfect: spray alcohol on a cloth or paper towel and use it to wipe the coils.

To reduce sensitivity: Place a hot towel on upper lip area for 2 minutes before hair removal. After a few times of usage, your skin will get used to it and you won't need the hot towel any more.

My eyes teared  up! Then I remembered the only time it doesn't hurt when I pluck/wax is when I do it just out of a hot shower. The next morning I tried it again  just after I forced myself out of the shower(i'm sure we all have those moments), and it worked great!  The Lindo likens the Twist-n-Roll to threading! I now use the Twist-n-Roll tweezers wherever on my face I need to do a little deforestation. The Twist-n-Roll tweezers is now my new favorite! 

Watch out ladies if you’re in my family your getting a Lindo Twist-n-Roll tweezers for Christmas!
