This stylish hair removal device is incredibly lightweight and boasts sleek gold detailing and a long cable, ensuring it’s not restrictive when not in cordless mode. It also comes with a blue and green Venus razor, perfect for prepping your skin for smooth results.

With just three settings, it’s a breeze to use, and even includes a precision head for treating smaller areas, such as the face or underarms, which can be easily attached and detached. The gadget allows you to complete a full-body treatment in just 10 minutes.

It features Skin-Protection MAX technology, which adjusts the flashes according to your skin tone. According to the product description, you’ll start seeing results in just four weeks. If you grab it now, you’ll be silky smooth with plenty of time before summer.

One happy shopper who picked up this device bestowed a 5 out of 5 rating, beaming: “The best product ever for women!! I could see the results after 3 weeks, honestly, but yeah, I`m also not a hairy person. Anyway, I`m already at 5 weeks, and it feels amazing. Such a difference, hair still grows, but very slowly and very little, and I no longer have irritations after epilation like I used to have in a few areas of the body. This product saved my life and i truly recomend it.”

Further praise comes from this shopper who says: “When I first got this product, I must admit I was very sceptical of how good it would be, but after 5 weeks of using it, I can honestly say I have noticed a definite reduction in hair growth. I no longer have to shave every time I hop in the shower now. Some bits are a little more sensitive than others, but overall, it works on any bit of hair you are looking at reducing. Once you get the hang of it then it is really easy to use. The product itself is beautifully designed, and it comes in a stylish carry case. I would 100% recommend this product. I am extremely happy with the results.”

And a third notes: “Having used the Silk expert Pro 5 IPL for approx 5 weeks, I am thrilled to say that hands down the product exceeds any expectations I had for it. It’s such an easy machine, and having used it on my arms and legs, I’ve found a huge reduction in hair growth already. It’s very easy to use, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to become hair-free. It comes in a very nice, stylish bag which holds the machine very nicely with a Venus razor. I’d certainly recommend this.”

That said, one customer knocked off one star, writing: “I have been using this product for nearly 6 weeks and found it is easy to use, particularly with it having a UK plug. The long cord means I can use it wherever there is natural light, as that has an impact on the flash. I have found that it is more effective on thinner hairs and needs a longer course on thicker hairs. The downside is that the product emphasises that any form of hair removal is good to use prior to IPL. However, I have found that only using the razor is the most effective method.”

AFCON 2025: Nigeria’s Super Eagles Eye Revenge Against Tunisia — Kickoff Time, Team News

In the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Nigeria and Tunisia have not previously played similar games. However, when the Super Eagles and the North Africans play in Group C on Saturday at the 2025 edition of the continental showpiece, their conflict, which dates back decades, will rekindle. &nbsp,

Following a 1-0 defeat to the Carthage Eagles in a last-16 showdown at the 2021 AFCON, the Super Eagles were forced to leave the sport. Nigeria had excellent form going in and out of their group.

The three-time champions, however, lost incredibly to a Tunisian side that was plagued by injuries and managed to make it to the knockouts against one of the best third-placed teams. &nbsp,

Although the two teams haven’t met since then, Nigeria will have another chance to reclaim their defeat in Cameroon when the two teams square off in Fez. The contest is top-of-the-table.

At the AFCON in 2025, Tunisia and the Super Eagles both won their first games. The North Africans, however, are gaining ground thanks to superior goal difference. &nbsp,

Coach Eric Chelle’s team defeated minnows Tanzania 2-1 in their opening game, and they needed a strike from Taifa Stars defender Semi Ajayi and forward Ademola Lookman to clinch all three points. &nbsp,

In the first round of matches, their foes were more brutal. To begin their campaign, they defeated the Cranes of Uganda 3-1.

A Head-to-Head Analysis of the AFCON Rivals: Nigeria vs. Tunisia

Sami Trabelsi’s men will want to keep fighting Nigeria and continue their excellent start there. Given the historical antecedents of both teams, they are aware of the dangers that the Super Eagles pose. &nbsp,

Nigeria leads the Carthage Eagles three times, beating Tunisia one, in the AFCON. Both of their games were decided on penalties. The North Africans won the 2021 AFCON thanks to a Youssef Msakni strike.

The 2004 champions of the conflict have won six victories, while their rivals have won five, and the rest have ended in draws. &nbsp,

What Chelle and Trabelsi Said Before the AFCON Game between Nigeria and Tunisia?

Eric Chelle

Coach Chelle acknowledged that Tunisia are a tough opponent with a colorful history ahead of the game and anticipates a difficult matchup. &nbsp,

“Tunisia are a big team with a strong playing identity and a strong World Cup qualifying record behind them.” He stated in his pre-game presser that they play good football and that this competition had started very well. &nbsp,

The Franco-Malian believes his team is capable of meeting the demands and that the Super Eagles are “improving with every match” despite the credentials of the Tunisians. &nbsp,

He stated, “This tournament is an opportunity to correct what previously went wrong and maintain our identity. There is no pressure on us.”

His counterpart acknowledged that “Nigeria are strong offensively and defensively.”

The 2004 AFCON hosts, according to Trabelsi, don’t want to miss out on Saturday’s flaws because they aren’t distracted by off-field events. &nbsp,

We have studied Nigeria’s football team, and there are no national teams without weak points. We must defeat large teams, he said, in order to advance. &nbsp,

The Super Eagles will be hoping that a fully-fit team with their full roster of stars will eliminate the Tunisian threat while Trabelsi is plotting against Nigeria. &nbsp,

Prior to Saturday’s tie, the 2013 champions didn’t have any medical concerns. The starting eleven that faced Tanzania is most likely to be present. Nigeria’s fans want to see more of Victor Osimhen, a star striker, in the game, but they may have already won.

It is anticipated that Calvin Bassey’s defensive work rate, Alex Iwobi’s eagle eyes to pick out players, and Samuel Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman’s flair will help them win. &nbsp,

Tunisian Team News vs. Nigeria

Hazem Mastouri was a doubt for Tunisia’s match against Nigeria, but he has been declared fit to play. &nbsp,

The Tunisian coach stated on Friday that “Hazem is in good shape and is improving his training.” &nbsp,

Russia hammers Ukraine’s capital ahead of Trump-Zelenskyy meeting

On the eve of a crucial meeting between the United States and Ukrainian leaders, Russia launched drone and missile strikes on Kyiv, killing at least one person and leaving the city without heat in the region, according to local authorities.

Russian ballistic missiles and drones shook Kyiv on Saturday morning, setting a nearly 10 hour airstress.

According to the mayor and regional governor of Kyiv, the attacks left a 47-year-old woman dead and at least 19 others injured. Two children were among the injured, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s City military administration.

As of 10:45 a.m. (08:45 GMT), Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the attack was “still ongoing” and that 40 missiles and 500 drones had been launched. At 11:20 a.m. local time (09:20 GMT), the capital’s air raid alert came to an end.

Andrii Sybiha, the country’s foreign minister, claimed that one-third of the capital, where temperatures remained below zero (0 degrees Celsius), was without heat.

According to Kyiv regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk, about 320, 000 households in the wider Kyiv region, which includes the capital but does not include it, also lost power.

upcoming peace negotiations

As Zelenskyy and Donald Trump discuss ending the nearly four-year war in Florida on Sunday, the Russian attack occurred.

The main issues in the negotiations, Zelenskyy said, are security guarantees and questions about pending territorial control.

In order to take complete control of the Donbas, which includes the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Russia has demanded that Ukraine renounce the portions of the eastern Donetsk region that Russian troops have been occupying for almost four years.

Kyiv wants to put an end to the current lines of fighting.

If Ukraine leaves parts of the Donetsk region, the US has proposed creating a free economic zone as a result of a compromise. Zellenskyy stated on Friday that he would seek a stronger position for Ukraine and that he might re-vote the US-backed plan if necessary.

Trump and Zelenskyy both expressed optimism about the meeting, with the Ukrainian leader saying he hopes to finalize a framework on Sunday and that the majority of the US-Ukraine agreement has been ironed out.

Before the New Year’s Eve, Zelenskyy said on Friday on social media that “many things can be decided.”

However, Zelenskyy’s tone was allegedly altered by Saturday’s attack. He claimed in a post that the Russian government “does not want to end the war” and that their drones and missiles “does not want to end the war” and that their “long conversations” were more muted.

Zelenskyy stated that Russia’s leadership intends to “use every opportunity to cause Ukraine even more suffering and put pressure on others around the world.”
