  • Hair is finer and sparser

    I love my Philips Lumea Comfort IPL. Since I’ve been using it, my hairs have been growing back finer and sparser. I’ve completed six sessions in total with the last two being four to five weeks apart. The Philips Lumea Comfort IPL is easy to do and doesn’t really take much time at all.

  • Love it! Very happy with results

    Treatment number six complete and I’m more than impressed….
    Since the the first treatment there is noticeably much less hair and what is there seems to be growing back very slowly and very finely…
    I have recommended the Lumia to a number of friends and will continue to do so…
    I am really impressed with the results and will continue to use it for maintenance until hopefully no hair remains at all!

  • Well worth the money!

    I must say that after 3 months of use I am pretty impressed with the Philips Lumea. My legs are not hair free, but I am finding that there is considerably less regrowth since I have been using it. I love the compact, convenient size of the unit, & most of all – I love that I can use it in the comfort of my own home at a time that suits me! I would definitely recommend the Lumea to anyone who wants to invest in an IPL 🙂

  • Step by step...slowly but surely...

    Soooo I have been using the Lumea Comfort IPL on my chin and my lower legs now for about a month and a half. My lower legs have definite bald patches which is so exciting I can’t even begin to tell you. Unbelievable. Soooo sooo happy. Results on my chin are different. The hair doesn’t seem to growing back any slower (as I’d previously thought) and I definitely can’t see any change regarding less hair. I’m not going to give up though. I’m thinking that because the hairs on my legs are softer, they’ll respond more quickly than the stubborn coarser hair on my chin…god that’s so embarrassing! Shhhh don’t tell anyone!

  • So far so good!!

    I have used the Lumea twice now on both my bikini area and my legs. The directions are very easy to follow and although I was a little nervous at first it is very easy!!
    Both legs and bikini area were done in under half an hour.
    I agree with others about the brightness of the light but obviously that is need to make the Lumea work.
    I’m waiting eagerly to see some results!!

    I was very excited to receive my Philips Lumea Comfort in the mail today and couldn’t wait to get started! The instructions are easy to understand and simple to follow. I have just done a test patch on my leg with no problems. Painless and effortless!

  • Mixed results, but very happy

    Well I have just completed my 6th session- which the manual says is the requirement of fortnightly treatments and then to use less often after that.

    My underarms haven’t changed a lot. the hair is softer and maybe a little less, but no major change. My legs are still patchy, but I no longer have to shave every 2-3 days, now I can definitely last a week or so between shaves and when I do I have a LOT less hair to remove, so shaving only takes a few seconds.

    My bikini is great, with almost all of the hair gone! YAY. This was the worst place to treat in the beginning as you have to shave before the IPL, and then for days after I had awful itchy regrowth, but that subsided after about the 3rd or 4th treatment, with the regrowth being very fine and now almost non existent.

    Overall very happy with this product, it hasn’t worked perfectly, but it will make a huge difference to the amount of time I spend removing hair in the future.

  • going great guns!

    5th use all done (and almost time for my 6th use) and my bikini line is hairless apart from a few stragglers on the edge (maybe I’ve missed them and that’s why they are growing). Underarms don’t seem to be doing well. Hair is a little finer, but still plenty of hair and having to shave every 2-3 days so no major change.
    Legs are patchy and when they do grow I can leave it a week or two and although there are some longer hairs over 50% aren’t growing so I don’t look hairy scary!
    Still hasn’t worked at all on my knees.

  • Hair Today! Gone tomorrow! The Lumia is brilliant!

    So treatment number five all done and getting quicker at it, with each new turn.
    Definitely seeing the results now with leg hair becoming quite patchy and definitely finer where it’s still growing – Exfoliating is definitely the key at this stage to make sure the finer hairs don’t become in grown…
    Underarms and bikini line are both looking pretty good with less hair than there was originally..
    Still loving the Lumea and would recommend it to all!

  • A reduction in hair growth

    For reduction in hair growth Philips Lumea Comfort IPL has been doing it’s job. With each application I am finding that the regrowth is growing back thinner and finer. I love the skin colour sensor as my bikini line is a slightly different colour from my legs. The slide and flash mode is great for my legs, the only thing I don’t like is the bright light from the flash.

  • Definite improvement!

    I love the Phipps Lumea Comfort. I have completed four sessions on my legs and bikini line and I can notice a definite improvement. For the first three sessions, I did it every two weeks but, for the fourth, I left it go for three weeks. I love the slide and flash mode however, the only thing I don’t really like is the flash, I wear my sunnies for when I need to look at what I’m doing. That’s a photo of my leg showing how smooth they are!

  • Painfree!

    My girl friend let me try her Philips Lumea Comfort on my legs and I was really surprised that it truly is painless. Every now and then you feel little prickles but it is not what I was expecting while trying this gadget. I love that it has adjustable light energy settings and is safe and effective even on sensitive areas. One of my favourite features is the skin color sensor as I am quite pale so I felt confident that I wasn’t going to burn my skin.

    I am so excited to be using this product. I am usually put off by the pain, I have a low pain threshold, but this one is not only painless, it is actually fun! My husband likes to try it so he helps me out a lot. I have only used it once and can’t wait for the two weeks period to pass so I can try again

  • It has changed my life

    Its really great. I have very thick black hair and white skin. I suffered a lot a lot before I buy this product. All I can tell is I saw a good result already after first us.!!!!! 2 weeks after I had used the Lumea I noticed that hair is falling and my skin became so much softer. Now its 4 times I have used it and 70% of hairs are gone and the rest growth very slowly. I do not shave for 2 weeks. Amazing really saved my life. I recommend it to all who suffer from hair on their body. It has no pain really no pain and easy to use. The only problem is battery charge finishes soon but for me its ok, I can charge it 3 times when I do all my legs.
    I am happy, so happy.

  • Pain free and easy

    I’ve had laser done on my underarms and every 2-3 years need to have a touch up done at the clinic. Now I don’t as I have the Philips Lumea. To do my underarms was pain free and very easy. I am happy with the result. My next task will to do my legs which I hope to attack in the next day or too. Will keep you updated. (I tried to take a photo of my underarm but it didn’t work)

  • Sixth treatment, and sadly still hairy

    I’ve completed the six recommended treatments, but unfortunately had no significant hair loss – I’m still shaving each day and I actually got out the wax and depilatory machine the other day and did my bikini line as the daily shaving and regrowth was giving me ingrown hairs.
    I was really hoping that the Lumea would reduce the amount of time I spend removing hair each day, but unfortunately I still shave my legs and underarms each day, and my bikini line was nowhere near bikini-ready.
    I’ll try again next winter, and give it a few more sessions, but for now, I’m heading outside for some lovely spring weather.

  • Final verdict: Happy with results but takes a lot of patience!

    I just finished a treatment and will share my final thoughts.
    – the hair has reduced but still not hair free, especially on my arms. The hair is patchy so it looks like it worked in some areas but not others as I have missed those areas. I have just tried the slide and flash mode to see if this will make a difference. But the hair has grown back softer and I only shave them once a fortnight before treatment and have just pushed it to 3 weeks without much regrowth.
    – the unit is very easy to use and I find it is most effective in smaller areas, especially on the face, underarms and bikini.
    – the light is a bit on the bright side and feel like a pair of glasses to cut the glare and for piece of mind included with the unit would be a good idea. Especially since it’s hard to do the treatment sometimes without looking at what you’re doing.
    – I find that this is the most pain free and cost effective way of removing unwanted hair. Much cheaper and more comfortable than waxing.
    – the treatment requires a lot of patience before the results start to be seen so persistence is key.
    I will definitely continue to use this appliance and will be my go to method of hair removal now eliminating the need to travel to a salon (which is difficult with a toddler and not much “me time”) and saving a lot of money. (a one off payment of a few hundred $ as opposed to 35 a month and a chance of permanent hair removal?) Thank you so so much for the opportunity to review this.

  • 5th (or 6th) treatment - pretty happy!

    I am REALLY pleased with how this has worked on my legs.
    I was SO hairy and had regrowth within a day or two after shaving.
    Now, I can go 2 weeks and the regrowth is just starting to get noticeable.
    My bikini line and underarms unfortunately haven’t changed much. But I’m still trying.

    I tend to put off doing it as it takes a while and the fan is noisy. Too noisy to do whilst watching TV for instance. It probably takes me about 30-40 minutes to both legs thoroughly.

  • Update...

    The results are pretty much the same as the last post. The hair is taking longer to grow back and is sparser but I still need to shave before each treatment Nd there’s a few pesky facial hairs that are hard to get rid of!! Other than that though I’m happy with the overall results. It’s a very gradual process to get rid of most of the hair and it’s a lot cheaper, less time consuming and less painful than waxing so this will be my go to hair removal solution and will keep persevering.

  • Fifth treatment - waiting for results

    I’m feeling a but disappointed, because although I might (not sure) have a few patches of lees growth on my bikini line, I’m still far from hair free. I shave my bikini line pretty much every day as the prickles are really uncomfortable, and the hairs are still dark and thick.
    I’ve not noticed any reduction on my underarms or legs either – there are no bare patches on my legs yet. Given that it takes around 90 mins to do my legs, bikini line and underarms, it takes quite a lot of time and it is hard to keep up the schedule when I haven’t seen any results yet.
    I’m hoping to see some improvement after tonight’s treatment, my fingers are crossed!

  • It seems 5's my magic number!

    While my 3rd and 4th treatments softened the hair and slowed the growth it seems treatment 5 is where I really noticed changes! The ‘snail trail’ is non existent! Hair in other small areas is gone too! My legs hairs on the other hand are still there although growth is quite patchy. I’m not sure whether this is due to the growth cycle or a case of missed bits! I’m thinking it’s the latter. While the unit is easy to use I find it hard to see if I am getting enough ‘light’ coverage. I think a larger, slightly curved head (light window) would make a huge difference. And on the subject of light, again I still think there needs to be glasses included in the pack as it’s especially hard to ensure you’re getting even coverage on larger areas without looking at what you are doing. Regardless, my need to shave my legs every few days is down to once a week (yay) and I feel with continued use this is only going to get better. I’m so happy I got the opportunity to try this product and I would recommend others try it too.

  • Value for money when compared to laser treatments in salons

    The Philips Lumea is definitely value for money. I had a couple of laser treatments on 2 small spots on my face, in the chin area and was charged $70 per treatment. The treatment was also quite painful. I did see a reduction in hair growth but no more than I’m seeing with the Lumea and I also find the Lumea more painfree. it is so much easier to do the treatments at home too.

  • Still loving this product

    I love this machine. It is easy to use, stores well and so much cheaper than salon treatments. While I’m yet to see a dramatic reduction in the number of hairs, I can definitely see a reduction in the coarseness. The regrowing hairs are much finer. I am looking forward to persevering and continuing the treatment. Even with other treatments, like epilation, it all takes time.

Article ‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
