fashion and style

                                                                                       ph. Jelena Karakas And here I'm with my final thoughts. In case you missed something, let's recap a little bit! Last year I partnered up with Philips to test their latest product - Philips Lumea Prestige . I was more than satisfied with the results, but because of my laziness I stopped using it in September, and I made myself to follow the rules again this spring so I can prepare my body for summer . Philips Lumea is a home IPL system which can be used to help prevent hair regrowth. Gentle flashes of light are applied at the root of the hairs, breaking the cycle of regrowth. I started using the device every two weeks and I already saw after the second session that my hair did grow much slower and less than what it was before. By the end of the initial eight week treatment period skin was staying smoother for longer. So, am I satisfy with this overall experience? Yes, and I do have several

Let the beauty countdown starts now! If you already purchased your favorite swimsuit, bunch of SPFs, your next logical thought is how to get rid off your unwanted hair, like forever. How is that even possible? Still not sure about this word but after using the Philips Lumea Prestige last summer and redoing it this spring, there is a chance to achieve a hair-free holiday body. No stress required. In my previous post I told you the mantra: "use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks, use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks, use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks  and you will have a hair-free skin" 6 weeks are more than enough to see the first results cause Philips Lumea Prestige gives fast, effective results while being kind to skin. By delivering super-gentle pulses of light to the hair’s roots, re-growth is dramatically reduced with up to 92% hair reduction in just three treatments! Of course, the results may vary due to differen

                                                                                              ph. Jelena K. When it comes to beauty treatments, I’m definitely in the DIY camp if we exclude facials. One coat of a black nail polish and that's it, 5 minutes with a curling iron and I'm good to go! Little bit of mascara, brow gel and foundation and I did my make up. You will ask me later if I put anything at all on my face, but that's my style. Natural. The key is in simplicity and obviously I know the best. You don't want me as your client, trust me. And when it comes to hair removal I'm always in a doubt. Shaving, home/salon waxing and now IPL. Insert confused emoji here. Should I get rid of them in a beauty salon or in the comfort of my own home? And we all know where the vote goes. Last year I partnered up with Philips to test their latest product - Philips Lumea Prestige and I was more than satisfied with the results: hairs naturally shedded in the following coup

Hello July! The hot weather is already here and as much as I love feeling the warmth of the sun against my skin, there is always one question that hangs on my mind. When did I last wax my legs? When it comes to beauty treatments I'm definitely in a do it yourself team, so when Philips asked me would I try the latest Lumea device I instantly said yes cause I was more than curious to see the results. In case you're not familiar with it, Lumea Prestige is a long-lasting IPL hair removal solution offering up to 92% hair reduction in just 3 treatments. Easy to use, its attachments are uniquely designed for optimal results in each body area, including facial and bikini hair removal. It even advises the best setting for your skin tone. Not to be confused with laser, IPL is short for Intense Pulsed Light - a new technology that puts hair into resting phase in the comfort of your own home. The product works by applying gentle pulses of light to the hair and the hair root, just undern
