Brazilian Review #2: The virgin experience

So now you've read my review of Strip's Brazilian services, you're probably wondering what I think of the whole process. The reason why I separated the two reviews is because I probably will never go back for a Brazilian. But Strip did such a good job I didnt't want them to take the blame for it. Here are my reasons:

1. As Angel pointed out, I have a "mini garden". Shaving once a week keeps things in check, it's painless and damned near free. 
2. Brazilians hurt. Not much but I'm not masochistic unlike some (you know who you are) and I really don't need more pain in my life. 
3. They're expensive. Shaving's free. Umm.. nuff said.
4. I hate having to regrow hair FOR a brazilian. It's awful. When you're used to it being clean and bare being furry is distressing. I will say though that after about 4 weeks the regrowth seems finer and sparser than before. Which is great, but not really incentive enough for regular sessions. 
5. Brazilians make me break out. NOT FUN AND NOT PRETTY.

Brazilian Review #1: Strip Ministry of Wax's Strawberry Brazilian

This is the Lot10 branch

If you're wondering why every beauty blog in town seems to be nattering on about brazilian waxes the answer's simple. The salon's have realised that this isn't something girls are going to jump at without a few reviews and personal retellings. I, for one, did copious amounts of research before even saying "yes" to this invite.

I've actually turned down quite a few but with the flurry of invites So Loverly's been getting, I finally gave in to my journalistic curiosity (it's a terrible thing that'll get me killed someday) and accepted an invite from established chain, Strip: Ministry of Wax to try their new Strawberry Brazilian.

This is a review of Strip's wax and services, it's not about my experience a first-time waxer. It didn't seem fair to mix the two, so the full telling of my "virgin deforestation" is in part 2 on Thursday.  If you notice, ParisB of MyWomenStuff is doing the same - great minds and all that. =P

Strip is a pretty decent place to go for your "first time". They have a special Brazilian Virgin package for RM88 that comes with a briefing... complete with the following booklet...

And an after-care package that we'll review later.

Strip is a line that started in Singapore and they formulate all their own waxes, so every now and then they'll release a new one. The last one was the Chocolate Berry hard wax, and now they have the Strawberry hard wax.
