Philips recently launched their new range of epilators and you guys must have seen the new Alia Bhatt ad on TV, who is their brand ambassador.

Philips had epilators before i.e. the Satinelle range which had only one epilating head, they have relaunched them with the Satinelle Essential where there is a shaving head and a sensitive area cap and comes with 2 years guarantee with just 300 bucks extra.

They have come up with 3 different types of Essential epilators, one is the basic one for basic, dry use i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE200. One with shaving head which is this one i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE201 and one with shaving head, for wet and dry use and with skin stretcher system i.e. Philips Satinelle Advanced BRE210.

I am reviewing the middle one today which comes with a separate shaving head. All these new Philips epilators come with a 2 year guarantee which is quite nice.

I love the white and pink color, it has a white body with pink stars over it. It has just one setting and not much to figure out and super easy to use.

It is very small and handy. It comes with two different heads, one epilation head and one shaving head, one cord to plug in, one extra cover for sensitive areas and a small cleaning brush. A 2 year year guarantee card and an instruction manual alongwith. It mentions on the box that it also carries a handy pouch which was missing, not sure if it comes with it or no.

Since I have taken up the 30 days shaving challenge for my legs, I used the epilator on my hands. I was a bit scared but it went on pretty smooth and nice, did not hurt much. Only glitch I feel in general with epilators is you cannot really see what exact area the hair is removed or still remaining, I mean you have to wait for one complete round from top to bottom and  get rid of the stuck stray hair to find out which hair is still not removed and have to go over it again. Since all epilators have a slightly round head, the side of the skin it goes on, generally get missed. Then, I tried the shaving head which is square and it was so awesome, I fell in love with it. It was super quick and easy to work with, no going over the same area again and completes the entire area from top to bottom in one go. In short, I am going to stick to the shaving head for a long time :p

It is very easy to clean and wash too, you can either use the small brush it comes with, or remove the head and wash that under flowing water. The heads can be easily removed and inter-changed by just pushing them towards the left.

Philips is eco friendly and hence I guess,it avoids battery and works on electricity, means you will have to be corded all the time you use the epilator. A little inconvenient coz you have to find a plug, keep the area in mind and avoid the wire coming in between your epilation, and with wet use, very difficult to use in the bathroom. Though the wire is quite long and was not much of an issue.

Coming to the price, it is quite cheap compared to other epilators in the market, almost 1/3rd the price. Its available on Flipkart HERE and keep an eye for discounts and offers and you can get it much cheaper.

Definitely worth investing in, also a perfect thing to carry along if you travel a lot or plan to go on a long holiday. And it comes with a 2 year guarantee, so once purchased, you are sorted for 2 years minimum, and more so depending on your usage.

So #BeReadyEveryday and #GoWowNow with the new Philips Epilators. Check out their facebook page HERE.
