Best Laser Tattoo Removal Clinics In London

November 22, 2015 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , 18 Comments

I have previously written about how to get rid of tattoos and how celebrities get rid of their tattoos, these posts were quite popular, so I decided to write about the two top laser tattoo removal clinics in London at the moment.

Tattoo

 

Pulse Light Clinic is one of the best laser tattoo removal clinics in London. This clinic with over 20 years experience in laser treatments, uses PicoSure Tattoo Removal Laser to remove tattoos, and is 1 of the 2 clinics using PicoSure in the UK. This treatment is highly effective, it takes between 3-6 treatments to fully remove a tattoo, treatment is normally carried out between 5-12 months, unlike a standard tattoo removal machine that could take up to 10 treatments, carried out between 2-3 years to fully remove  tattoo.

The new PicoSure is currently the break we have all been waiting for as far as tattoo removals are concerned. This smart laser can remove a tattoo faster than any other laser machine in the world and the prices start from £70 per treatment.

 

City Tattoo Removal is the other clinic in the UK using the fastest laser tattoo removal machine in the world.This clinic offers patients a free initial consultation and patch test, and prices start from £75, but they are finance options available, where you spread you payments across, and pay as little as £20.21 every month for the duration of your treatment.

The science behind PicoSure is simple, and the side effects are minimal, PicoSure uses thermal energy to heat up ink particles in the unwanted tattoo, the laser picks up all the ink, destroys it into little pieces, these little pieces are easy for the body to absorb allowing the ink to be removed. The PicoSure also removes difficult inks, such as green, reds and blues much faster than a standard tattoo machine, and these clinics use this great treatment.

Do you have a tattoo you would like to get off? Have you heard of PicoSure before reading this post? Sound off in the comment section, let’s chat.

Product Review: Pevonia Youthful Glances Christmas Collection

November 20, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

Pevonia

 

I recently received the Pevonia Youthful Glances Christmas Collection and I was super excited to try it out. The range came in a very pretty, white, quilted bag, and it included an eye makeup remover 50ml, evolutive eye gel 30ml, evolutive eye cream 30ml and an eye massage wand. I have used these products for weeks now and I have quite a lot to say about the collection but before I get into it, let’s read what Pevonia has to say about this it:

Featuring the best-selling Pevonia C Evolutive Eye Gel and Eye Cream, containing botanical ingredients to minimise wrinkles and maintain a smooth and youthful eye contour; the Pevonia Eye Massage Wand which stimulates micro-circulation and intensifies the absorbency of your Pevonia® Eye Product of choice; and the essential Eye Make-up remover, along with the white quilted bag.

Pevonia’s Youthful Glances Collection is your best friend when it comes to this Christmas party season, making late night tired eyes a thing of the past.

 

Now here are my thoughts on the products:

THE MASSAGE WAND

PROS

  1. I love the feel of the massage wand. It relaxes me, stimulates circulation, and intensifies the absorbency of the eye cream or gel, so use an eye product before using the massage wand. I used the cream, gel or both before using the wand.

 

CONS

None.

THE EVOLUTIVE EYE GEL

I love this eye gel. I have used it every morning and most evenings for weeks now and I have only good things to say about it. I apply a small quantity around the eye with my finger tips and I let the magic begin.

PROS

  1. This eye gel is the best thing ever. It helps add some sparkle to the eyes, especially when you have had a few late nights, like I have been having.
  2. It helps maintain a smooth and youthful eye contour.
  3. It also serves as a great makeup base for a long-lasting look.
  4. It reduces puffiness and dark circles.

CONS

None.

 

EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

This eye makeup remover is so fabulous. I apply it on some cotton wool and wipe gently.

PROS

  1. It is the gentlest eye makeup I have ever used. I wear contact lenses, and I felt no sting whatsoever.
  2. It took off ever trace of makeup off my eye lids and eye lashes.
  3. It takes off waterproof makeup as well.

CONS

None.

 

EVOLUTIVE EYE CREAM

This eye cream is a must-have this season. I have used this product everyday and I can say it has done the job.

PROS

  1. This eye cream is great when used with the eye gel, It wakes up your tired eyes.
  2. It is non greasy.
  3. It feels great on the skin.

CONS

None.

 

I recommend this Youthful Glances Christmas Collection to anyone in need of a gently eye makeup, eye cream, massage wand and eye gel, these products perform brilliantly. The only issue I have with this collection is the price £110, but then again, good things never really come cheap, and the quality of these products speak for themselves, so it is worth it in my book. Our skin deserves the very best.

This collection would make a lovely Christmas present, do you agree? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend.

YES, I Do Want My Body Hairs Off!

November 19, 2015 By in Beauty, Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , 24 Comments

Yesterday, I wrote about my Laser Hair Removal Treatment, and I got all sorts of comments both online and offline. Some comments reassured me, some made me laugh out loud, some made me rethink the entire treatment, some scared the living daylights out of me, many were very informative, some were just curious, and a few just pissed me off. One of the cons of having a blog is everyone has an opinion on what you write, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, and that is fine, I usually delete ignore most of the bitter, negative comments I get on the blog and in real life, but some did get to me and that has triggered this essay, please stay with me.

We are all entitled to our opinions, but I think there is a fine line between sharing your 2 cents and forcing it down on others, and many of us tend to force our opinion down on others, consciously or unconsciously. Many women struggle to come to terms with their body hair, and refuse to talk about them or even acknowledge their existence, they prefer to live in denial, and that is quite understandable. On the other hand, I also know many women are happy with their body hairs and see no point in getting them off permanently. I used to be one of those women, but not anymore. I am a 28 years old woman and I have come to point in my life where I now want some of my body hairs off. To be more specific, I want my chin hairs off. The hairs on my legs, hands, underarms and everywhere else I can live with, shaving once in a while will sort that out. I hardly have the opportunity to show off bare legs in the UK anyways, so I am not missing out too much as far that part is concerned, but with the chin hair, I can’t live with it anymore and I am not ashamed to say it. YES, I do want my chin hairs off!

Laser Hair Removal

 

I am not ashamed to say I don’t like the sight of body hairs, I actually very find them very annoying, and I am always in a hurry to get them off as soon as they crop up. I never had hair on my chin, well that changed some years ago, they just came from nowhere and have refused to go away, so getting rid of them permanently, and only having tops up after some years, if necessary will be a bliss compared to waxing and threading every 6 weeks. I do envy women who do not have to worry about body hairs, I want to be one of those women again…….

 

The good thing about all this is there is now a treatment available for those who do want their body hairs gone for good, so thank God for that. You can have the treatment done on all skin types, and on almost every part of your body. You can even have a Hollywood Laser Hair Removal done, popularly known as ‘Hollywood’, which is where all hair is removed from your bikini line, from the front to the middle and to the back. That may be the next area from me, who knows, never say never……..LOL.

 

If you had the opportunity, would you go for a laser treatment hair removal if needed? Sound off in the comment section please. Thanks for reading.
