8 reasons why you want the Philips Lumea now

For a few weeks now, my life has changed. May introduced me to Lumi. Yes, we are women, we give things a name. Cars, bags, and yes, also hair removal devices; I can't help it. Anyway, Lumi is in my life. And Lumi and I have turned out to be a great match. Where I always thought that hair removal at home with a hair removal device wasn't for me (complicated or something? Takes too long?), I must say that so far I find it a damn handy thing. Fast. Painless. So it's time for an ode to Lumi.

For everyone who also wants smooth armpits, legs, upper lip, and/or bikini line this summer, this is why you also want a Philips Lumea (aka Lumi) in your life:

1. This IPL device is fast. And by fast, I mean 8.5 minutes for both your lower legs. I mean, that's a series of flashes and in the meantime, a little bit of flashing. You do your armpits in a minute and a half. What are we talking about?

2. This brings me to the next important point. It works. Just do it three/four times and you'll notice that all your hairs have become at least 90 percent less.

3. Speaking of those hairs, because they go into a ‘sleep mode’, they remain after the first two months that you the Lumea device. And after that, you only need to maintain it every 4 to 8 weeks. How chill is that on vacation? Bye bye razor, cuts, and mess in the shower.

4. No. It. Really. Doesn't. Hurt. This was what I was most afraid of. Would it be intense? Until May demonstrated it on me and I actually felt a bit embarrassed. I, um, felt nothing. Just a little warm flash. Actually, it was quite nice.

5. Look, I won't call it cheap for that 550 euros, but an investment? Absolutely. The lamps last up to 20 years so Lumi is a keeper. And since you only need it every two weeks, you can easily share it with your sister or friend. That saves a bit.

6. The Philips Lumea is the only IPL device that can be used both corded and cordless. Super handy for when you're not near a power outlet.

7. You can try the device for 90 days to see if it's for you. But believe me, once she (of course Lumi is a she) is in your life, you won't want to be without it.

8. And if point 7 isn't enough, you can buy the Philips Lumea with €80 cashback very quickly here You can thank me later. On to summer!.

To kick things off nicely: 71 percent of men watch porn. I find that a bit low, considering the claim that 'all men watch porn and whoever says otherwise is lying…
