I used to thread my upper lip for the longest time .and always broke out ..argh, but i figured i had no choice but to deal with it cause i didnt want to live with the hair. Then I tried bleaching it..which works..sure you can't see the hair anymore..but upclose it looked so obvious. Specially if you wear foundation, it will bring out the "fluffiness" ..all i can is gross It may sound like i have crazy upper lip hair but i don't..atleast i don't think i do :/] . I was looking for something else..so i came across this epicare thing..it's pretty much a spring that grabs your hair and pulls it out...you can watch a few tutorials on it on ylutube. I got mine online but i heard that if you go to korean/ chinese stores they have them for way cheaper like $7.00 whereas online you end up $20.00 with shipping...if you can find it at a store near you..check it out. It didn't cause any breakouts so far but then again i'v only used it twice..maybe i ll do a review on it once i have used it for about a month or so. hope that helps!
