Crocs - Tone Series


Crocs (Tone series)

Pros: Sufficient cushioning, durable, washable
Con: Increases static

Price: $29.60 + $6 delivery charge (Sale price)






I bought this from Crocs online website, when it's on sale... 

Initially, I was worried that I will have problem balancing  with this shoe due to its curved sole. After wearing several times, I began to like its curved sole as it acts as cushioning for my heels. Most of the shoes that I have causes my heels to feel tired/ache after walking for some time.

I used to wear shoes from shops like D & C, price ranging from $20+ to $30+... Common problems with those shoes are insufficient cushioning, "crocodile opening" and slippery soles. Crocs does not give these problems. On rainy days, I will rinse my shoe when I reach home. =D

However, it gives lots of static when I am in air-con room. =X

I will always visit their website when it's almost time to buy a new pair of shoes.. and will buy their sale items when there's suitable ones. Recommended. =D

Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

Veet
EasyGrip Ready to Use Wax Strips
Price: $3.90 (8 Ready to Use Wax Stips + 2 Perfect Finish Wipes)









































Pro: Hair grows slower and thinner after waxing
Cons: Causes itch, not as convenient as hair removal creams

They have 3 choices of wax strips with different ingredients to suit different skin types.
I have tried Vitamin E & Almond for Sensitive Skin and Aloe Vera for Dry Skin.

Both causes some little bumps on my skin and it's really itchy. I am always very annoyed with the itch.. as I can't possibly keep scratching to relief the itch when I am not at home.. lol I will look like a monkey scratching underarms... 0.0

As written on the instructions, the strip needs to be pulled off quickly, otherwise, the glue will be stuck to the hair and it's a big hassle removing the clumps of glue.. There are two small packs of Perfect Finish Wipes. It does help to remove some stickiness after waxing. If the paper is used up, baby oil can be used too.

Though it is effective in removing hair, slows down growth and reduces the thickness when regrown, I am still considering if I should still repurchase this.. perhaps I will only use it on my legs.. Hopefully, they will improve their ingredients, so that it won't cause itch. =)
