some new layouts

I've been meaning to post these...well, since they were done! LOL Click on the images for better detail. Both are using AmyLeigh's kit "Going in Circles". I love this kit! :D


On a completely different note, I decided that I really hate trying to keep up with bleaching the unattractive hair on my upper lip. I had read a review (on another scrapper's blog) about Sally Hansen's Lavender something or other waxing kit, and decided to buy it (since it was on clearance at Rite Aid!! ROFL). I used it that night (about a week ago, actually). OH! MY! WORD!! That hurt!! LMBO And I had to do it a few times in some spots, cuz I just didn't get the hang of how to pull it off. The stuff you put on afterwards, the oil something, is to clean the excess wax off, and I think it also numbs you, because I wasn't really in pain? but when I touched it, it still felt like it should be in pain...kwim? Anyhoo, it's a week later and I am pleased with the results. I have experienced some dry skin there, but I think that's actually from the exfoliation. LOL I am stubble-free (that was my main concern; I mean, my man wants me to feel like a woman when he kisses me, NOT like a man, for goodnesssake!) And like the miracle of childbirth, I will face the pain again for such smooth results. And no yucky smell, like with the bleach!! :D
So, my "official" review:
Price: 4 out of 5 The regular price was $6.99, which I would be willing to pay (but I only paid $3.50 teehee). This includes 20 strips, to about 10 applications.
Smell: 5 out of 5 No funky smell!
Instructions included: 4 out of 5 They were clear, concise, and grammar was perfect. It's even available in Spanish, if you're into that. My only complaint is that it said to microwave the wax wand with the lid, but I had to remove the lid for that part to ever get warm.
Pain: 3 out of 5 I could stand to do this myself, but it brought tears to my eyes.

PS. I just looked it up, and they are replacing it with this: Microwaveable Eyebrow, Lip, and Face Wax. They've done away with the "wand".
