The many shapes of brazilian wax

18 May, 2008 (18:00) | beauty, fashion | By: editor

It’s a usual thing to happen when a server hands on a menu to you at a restaurant or bar but menu for a brazilian wax? It is weird to see and experience it at first, but it really is helpful. Check this out:

Laser Hair Removal Consequences - Brazilian Waxing

18 May, 2008 (15:59) | beauty, fashion, health & diet | By: editor

All women acknowledge good things when it come to “hairless fashion trend” that become more popular these days in our society, especially when spring/summer arrives. Brazilian wax is quite a regular, at least for me and among my female friends, but when you have to do it every so often sometimes kinda wonder of that laser option that promise to have it permanently remove (so don’t have to bother with regular waxing). As I researched more with the topic I came across this article (that really makes me stick with the regular waxing icon smile option):

Popularized in an episode of Sex in the City, it involves removing all body hair.

At Spa Radiance, the hairless look is growing in popularity. Angelina Umansky, owner, Spa Radiance: “This year has been the biggest year for Brazilian waxing ever at the Spa.”

Twenty-year-old Stella Chung is a regular client. Stella Chung, hair waxing client: “I want to make sure it’s clean there, and for hygiene issues, too.

” What about the pain? Angelina Umansky, owner, Spa Radiance: “We don’t use a lot of numbing creams because they take awhile to kick in. But we do small patches.”

Stella Chung, hair waxing client: “Initially, when I first got it done, of course it hurt. It’s more like a stinging feeling. But it’s really fast and quick. But when you get it done everything, three weeks or not, you get used to it.” And Stella says her partners prefer it, too.

Stella Chung, hair waxing client: “Usually, the partners that I’m with, they prefer the bare because I think it’s a whole trend thing.”

In fact, for an entire generation, hairless is becoming the new standard of beauty. For almost any female between 15 and 25, the message seems to be bare is better.

Male, name withheld: “It shows they just try to take care of their bodies. You know, like it portrays them more like femininity when it’s not so, when it’s hairy.”

Male, name withheld: “I’m just not attracted to hair, I guess. I don’t know. It’s not something that is appealing.”

Female, name withheld: “I know a lot of guys prefer it, and I know a lot of guys joke about women not being hairless in certain areas, and it is kind of weird. So I think there are social pressures to conform to being more hairless these days, for sure.Even in high school - that’s where it started, and it’s just getting to the point where most women are.”

There are real concerns here. First, this body hair has lots of functions, including providing protection and lubrication for tender tissues. And while shaving or waxing all your body hair is one thing, many women are turning to lasers for hair removal. But with any laser, there is the potential for burns and serious infections, like triggering a herpes outbreak.

For Berkeley physician Christine Brozowski, the demand for total laser hair removal is skyrocketing.

Christine Brozowski, M.D., physician and laser specialist: “It’s just a very popular thing.” She cautions in untrained hands, patients could be harmed.

Christine Brozowski, M.D., physician and laser specialist: “I think that laser procedures in general are very safe. However, when used not in the proper hands there is a greater chance of having a complication such as hyper, hypo pigmentation (those are changes in the skin color), or infection, or burning.”

She routinely pre-treats a lot of patients with an antiviral medication to prevent a herpes outbreak. Laser hair removal requires several treatments, six weeks apart to destroy the hair follicles during their growth cycle.

That leads to one more caution: Christine Brozowski, M.D., physician and laser specialist: “Your hair is not going to grow back. So you need to know that. It’s not a six-week thing. It’s that your hair is not going to grow back.”

Even more than tattoos or piercing, this is one fashion trend you may be stuck with for life.

Further complicating the problem is that many teens and young adults are getting treated at spas or salons - not at dermatologist’s office. So the risk of infection and burns is far greater.

Invisible Pads

intimissimi gel pad
Not every woman will enjoy the benefit of using corset for a body enchancement. We all know it works well but for most women it’s a pain stalking thing so I found out that they only wearing it for a party or to a very special occasion. This is because, yes we all know, IT IS SO TIGHT!!! Often we’ll hear things like “can’t breath right, can’t even take in any food.” Why women have to go through this to just be able to look good? No we’re not THAT pitiful as to scrunch into a corset every so often, cuz thesee days there are so many good available options like push-up bras and nu-bra (those with silicon filling and stick to your breasts sometimes it can bring your breasts down instead of lifting it up, although it can create a cleavage, and that’s not the look you want - believe me). It’s just that sometimes these stuff just doesn’t give that perfect exposure you want as what corset did. So if looking for a perfect push-up bra that will suit you perfectly seems impossible than I think intimissimi gel pad might just be the option. I tried it in a bra that doesn’t have that pocket fitting, it works perfectly and look just so fine.

Corset Push-up

13 May, 2008 (00:03) | beauty, fashion | By: editor

body suit corsetcorset body suitI think corset push-up or what some store might refer to as body shapers or shapewear will give good upper breasts enhancement for the body, however what I don’t like is their straps portion, cuz it doesn’t give any flexibility to wear any tubeless dress or strapless dress. The one called underbust corset certainly give a better flexibility.

curse of the golden flowerI always wonder how to get that full breast look especially for tube dress. I went on for a deep shopping search just before my wedding, asking everyone I know just as easy as “Do you know how to get that full breast look like those women in The Curse of The Golden Flower?” haha it does sounds a little weird, no? But actually it doesn’t at that time though. Anyhow I finally find something called underbust corset, I was so happy that I found it I told my mom about it being the secret of getting the look of women in “Golden Flower” and interestingly she even bought one herself =D.

Anyone wanting that full-breast look, especially brides-to-be (gonna be great under a tube or strapless wedding gown) perhaps it’s good to try owning some of these from absolutecorsets or lauren silva
