 Mustache Alert!

MUSTACHE....I notice that it is somewhat in a trend right now but not for meI am always bothered by my "lady stache" ever since puberty. It was not that thick like those you can see on men but it is quite bothering since it would really show up on my face because I have light skin tone. I could not blame somebody for this outcome on my upper lip nor get pissed off because my genes made me have this. It is just nobody's fault. I thought that there must be some ways of getting this hair off my face.

SHAVE iT!

I thought of shaving but i got scared of trying thinking that it would result into a disaster (I am imagining that my facial hair will pop out as thick as my grown out leg hair)--> this is disaster right??? Another reason that i did not pursue shaving my facial hair is that my mother would not let me ( I don't know with my mom but she always angry about any hair removal process even tweezing my eyebrows and shaving my legs) So SHAVING is out of my list.

WAX out

I tried searching over the net and found out that waxing is a great way to deal with it. What I did was I went to a facial center that offers waxing and tried it. It was painful like hell! I swear i had this silent cry moment that is worse than the moment that I had when I had my eyebrows threaded. The outcome was good and for the price of Php 200, I think it was a bit expensive since you must continue doing this process twice a month or so. I tried questing for those do it yourself wax kits. I tried diy waxing but the turnout was not that great compared to the result of my salon waxing seesions. I thought (AW! fail as in epic fail).

Bleach it Blonde

Then when I was in Watson's (my favorite place in earth) I saw the Sally Hansen section and the lady intoduced to me the Facial bleaching cream. The price is Php 320 so I thought whoah this shoul be good or else...lol...I decided to try it and indeed it really worked. It lightened my facial hair to the point that it is barely noticeable. That was great however I felt some stings on my face during the application. I just ignored it anyway since beauty is sacrifice and that sting is way better than the pain I experinced from waxing. I said "cool! This would be awesome!". Yes, I liked the product effect but I got some breakouts after every bleaching sessions (yup! every after sessions) This made me think for a while and decided to look for an alternative after finishing up that bleach. 

HAir it out

I went back to Watson's looking for another brand of facial hair bleach but sad to say that I was not able to find one :( Then the sale lady told me to try this Watson's Facial hair remover (similar to epicare). It looks like a spiral tool that grabs the hair if you would place it on your skin and roll it up and down.I was hesitant again at first but I just gave it a try since I had no choice during that time and plus it was very cheap for only Php 89. I tried it and I had this "maluha luhang moment" but I got used to the sting after a few tries. I was amazed by the result in fairness. It really grabbed all the hair on my upperlip (hooray!). I had to use it once every week so that I am mustache free. As of the moment I am using the Watson's facial hair remover. If there are any kinds of material or product that would do the same or better for facial hair I would love to give it a try also. <3
