Sensepil Silk'n Update

Beauty Tools at SkinStore at ShopStyle

Hello, everyone, I know I've taken a long time to come back to this but that's mostly my fault at being easily distracted rather than my views on the machine.
I've finished my first light cartridge which is about 6 treatments for me for all of my legs, bikini line and underarms. I've been using it on the highest setting which has been fine, no pain at all just a slight warm sensation. It is also really quick and easy to use as well and does store in the box well when not in use.

I've started to notice some small patches of hair on my legs that grow back more slowly than the rest though I've not seen any improvement in my underarms. The hair on my legs does grow back the slightest bit slower too. I'm hopeful with more treatments at the highest level I'll see more improvement. At the moment though I haven't seen a $50 difference. I'll be starting my next lamp cartridge this weekend so I'll keep you posted. Sorry there isn't much to update with

Look Books- High End vs. Low End

Makeup Sets by Bobbi Brown at ShopStyle


Recently when I was in my local Zellars I noticed the ELF (Eyes, Lips, Face) Look Books. I was surprised because they reminded me of an e-mail I had just recieved not too much earlier, the Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules palette.

From Bobbi Brown website
Though I'm sure the quality differs they both seem to have a very similar look to both, as though they are school notebooks. The Bobbi Brown is $45 USD and has a combination of eyes, cheek and lip products.  The E.L.F. on the otherhand has only one type of product per palette, however there are multiple palette types and shades available unlike the Bobbi Brown version.
Left: Eye Brights Edition, Right: Neutral Eye Edition
Left: Lip Edition, Right: Smoky Eye Edition
I didn't see them personally but E.L.F. also has Beauty Encyclopedias out which combine more types of lip or eye products together. All the E.L.F. palettes are $5.00 USD at Target, or at Zellars in Canada I found them for $9.99 CND.

So what do you think? Blatent copying? Or excellent bargain? Personally I like both the expensive Bobbi Brown one and the E.L.F. ones. The idea I think is cute!
