I have been dealing with unwanted body hair for my entire lift - given my ethnicity, I have a true battle to fight with coarse dark body hair that grows back ridiculously quick. I honestly think I’ve tried every waxing product out there (cold wax, warm wax, strips, stripless, etc.), but settled on Persian Cold wax about six years ago and have been using it religiously since then.
What I love most about Persian Wax is normally one thin coat of wax is enough to grab all my hairs in one go - whether it be on my arm or leg. With other brands, I will normally have some stragglers left behind, but have not really found this to be an issue with the Persian wax. I feel as though I get a deeper wax job (if that makes any sense) with this brand as opposed to others.
Although this is cold wax and heating it up is not necessary, I always like to heat it up in the microwave as I like working with fluid wax as opposed to more thick wax - I normally don’t have the patience to wrestle with tough wax and find it more painful to apply and spread if it’s not heated. I heat up the wax for 45 seconds in the microwave, let it cool to a workable temperature, and then spread on a thin layer on whichever body part im working on - it seems to grab all the hair, whether I’m dealing with long growth or short. Also, the wax is durable enough that I can reuse the wax that is pulled off the skin and onto the strip one to two more times.
The one thing I’m not too fond of is the mess, which I personally find is inevitable with any tub wax. I usually don’t use pre-waxed strips as I always go through the boxes too quickly, so with the tub, I feel as though I get my money’s worth. The one improvement that could be made is to include more strips - I always seem to run out before the tub is empty. But other than that, no complaints!
Until I can afford laser hair removal, this is definitely my favourite and most highly recommended hair removal product.

This fragrance is definitely one of my favourties – I’ve been buying the Baby Phat scent since it first came out and am yet to get tired of it. It never ceases to amaze me how many compliments I get when I’m wearing this one!
I wear this perfume as a regular day scent since it has a very nice soft and fresh smell. The scent itself is so unique and exotic – the aroma gives off a relaxing, vibrant, and alluring sensation.
It has great lasting power, but doesn’t smell overpowering and doesn’t give me headaches. It is a wonderful blend of floral, spices, and wooden scents – a true scent of femininity!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with Febreeze Noticeables – it lasts all day, every day. I love the products ability to change between two beautiful scents and the fact that it leaves my whole room (not just the area where it's plugged) smelling gorgeous. The option of changing the power between high and low for different room sizes is a plus.
I have had one of these for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love being able to walk into my room and having it smell divine. After a stressful day at work, coming home to a nice smelling space is absolutely relaxing.
Because it has two scents that it rotates between, you never really get “used” to the smell to the point where you can’t smell it anymore. That is the main reason I prefer the Febreeze Noticeable over any other air freshening device – it is one of the only ones that doesn’t dull down as time goes on. It’s ability to freshen the room is consistent, regardless if it’s the first day of use or towards the end.
I wish the device and bottle was a little more compact to make use of the wall socket more efficiently, but it’s definitely something that I can work around. Given the life of this product, and the fragrance lasting power, it's definitely worth the price!

I’m a huge mascara buff and am always on the quest for finding that “perfect” mascara. This mascara is definitely one of my all-time favourites – it gives my lashes great length and lift, without all that clumping that a lot of other mascaras do.
The bristles are nice and firm, which definitely makes this mascara easy to apply. With other mascaras that have softer bristles, I find it harder to make both set of lashes look the same (i.e., same thickness and length). The bristles make this mascara easy to manoeuvre and apply.
I do wish that it apply a little more thicker, but perhaps that’s what prevents the clumping. When I have a night out, I normally couple this mascara with another one (with softer bristles) to get a more darkening affect… but I apply this one first and let it set to avoid the clumping issue, this way, the second mascara just acts as a filler.
Another thing I love about this mascara is that it doesn’t crumble and leave little black specks under your eye throughout the day. The product is very durable and the look I create in the morning lasts all day.
One thing though is that although it is waterproof, I did find it to smudge after one really bad rain storm, but nothing that I couldn’t quickly fix. All in all, an excellent product that is easy to use and is definitely affordable.
