Smooth Away.


From time to time here at Empty Veins, I'll be posting reviews. If there is anything you'd like me to review - a website, a product or anything else, just let me know!

I'd like to start with an item called Smooth Away. Come on, you've seen it on TV. Lady sitting nicely in her towel, calmly removing the hair on her legs without chemicals, wax or a razor! It's said to buff away hair painlessly while gently exfoliating your skin! This seemed like something I'd like. I'm very big on going the non chemical route, I use natural products whenever I can. So, I gave in and bought Smooth Away last night. (tip, if you close out the smooth away site, it will offer you a lower price!)


I got home, curled up into bed after a nice shower, opened product and started reading the directions. Use circular motions, 3 times one way, 3 times the other. Um, ok! I checked the little battery on the vibrating controller, got this thing ready and off I went! 3 times right... 3 times left... 3 times... wait a minute! I feel like the Karate kid! Wax on, Wax off - Wax on, Wax off! Oh wait, we said no wax.. right?!

Continuing, I am feeling a little silly,but I am starting to see some results. Leg is getting smooth - hey, it works! But it does take a little more effort than they show you. It seems a bit time consuming. But then, so is waxing, shaving and even using products such as Nair. I haven't tried it on any 'sensitive' areas yet. My underarms were already smooth, and I wasn't brave enough to go anywhere else with it!

The website says the product is:
- The Fastest Selling, Most Popular Women's Product In Europe
- Exfoliates As You Use It
- Works Wonders On Sensitive Areas
- Easy, Safe, & Painless Hair Removal

In the directions, it also points out that it is not just for women. They offer a 60 day money back guarantee at the site, so always worth a shot if you are curious. As for me, I am leaning towards liking the product. But I am little unsure if it's worth all the buff on, buff off effort. ;) All in all, I give the product a hairless salute.

Anyone else have any thoughts on it?

~~Edit: Thanks to a comment pointing out that I didn't mention the price, or if I thought it was worth the price, I'd like to add that in!

If you order from the site it's 14.99 plus shipping and handling for the kit, and a extra kit free... but wait, as I mentioned earlier - close the site out and they offer you a discount at 9.99 plus shipping and handling. I myself got it at Walmart for 10.00. Was it worth the 10.00? For me, I'll say yes, although a bit time consuming, I was still happy with the purchase.
