Nad's Facial Wand Eyebrow Shaper

I brought this with expectations that I could achieve an eyebrow wax at home, my expectations couldn’t have been more wrong.

The product comes in a wand style with the wax visible inside. The wax inside is green and resembles gel. To dispense the product you twist the wand up to get the gel out. No heating required apparently but not the case. i struggled to get the product up following their instructions.

I found this very difficult to spread across the skin, and it seemed to get everywhere on my face apart from my eyebrow hairs. I achieved no hair removal and felt defected.

I think this has the potential to be a really good product but the formula just didn’t work for me.

Thought I would change up my usual facial hair removal product and give this one a go. However, there is a reason I stick to my 'usual'. It looked simple and easy to use on the packaging and read the instructions. I found though that this product didn't really work. Tried it on my brows and it appeared to stick to the hairs really well but upon removal didn't get it all out. Also tried it on upper lip area and it didn't remove any hairs at all. Gave up on this product and went got brows and upper lip done by a beautician. Thought i'd save money by doing an at home job and just ended up costing more.

I have pale yellowy olive skin, and dark brown hair. I have enough hair on my upper lip that it bothers me, so I have been waxing it off for years and have tried lots of different kinds of wax. I’ve never bothered to get it done by a beautician as I find it’s so easy and cheap to do in the privacy of your own home. I tend to wax every couple of months, with tweezing in between to maintain. I find that even blonde upper lip hair becomes super noticeable in the sun, so I much prefer to wax rather than bleach.

I bought this to do my upper lip as I prefer to tweeze my eyebrows - I find it far more precise.

This stuff was meant to be awesome - you smear it on, put the strip on top and then pull off. My mistake was heating this using running water when my body heat was insufficient. Water got into the tube and made it totally unusable - what a waste. A bit of a fail on my part but a packaging fail also. If water can get in, can wax get out if it gets too warm? I hope not.

I also found it difficult to apply. I much prefer the strips where the right amount of wax is already on the strip - I just find it so much easier.

I'm always looking for "the easy way" with products something that makes those dreaded jobs faster and more effortless much like a dishwasher for doing dishes! So this wand promises to be easier. I already use the Nads bikini wax for my eyebrows but heating the wax up takes what feels like forever, warm it in boiling water then heat it in the microwave.

This says I just have to twist the bottom of the applicator, apply the wax, apply the strip, remove the strip and done, haha really you say? It can't be THAT easy? Yep well that's it in a nutshell it is THAT easy.

First you have to cleanse your brows with the cleansing wipes provided and make sure they are completely dry before you proceed.

The applicator is about the size of a tube of mascara so it's easy to hold and control which I love because I really don't think I would rock the half a missing eyebrow look. You just twist the bottom of the wand and out comes the green wax. It is a wee bit tricky applying the wax because it's quite thick but I think the trick to it is only use it in one swipe rather than moving it around too much.

You then apply the strip and pull the strip in the opposite direction to the hair growth and done, It's painless and very fast. It's also really effective too I had less tweezing to do afterwards to tidy up the strays. I really, really love this and will repurchase again it is so easy.

I found this great in pen form to what i usually use (wax strips) and had much better precision, like most people had to heat up slightly, usually on a strip I can just rub it between my fingers which is enough to heat the wax but with this I ran under some hot water, a bit of a process but not a deal breaker. I do like how you have more control on how much product you use, where in the past I sometimes feel wasteful using a whole strip When it's not all needed. Over all a good performer.

I've been meaning to try this product for some time, so thanks BR for letting me have a go. I really liked it for the most part.

The 'wand' itself is simple and ergonomic. It feels comfortable to use. I was a little worried clicking it up but the gel only came out very slowly so it was fine.

The gel is a bit thick but enough gets on after a couple of swipes, and the best part is it come off cleanly with the cotton strip. My skin was fine afterwards, and I just washed as i would normally do.

Next time I might try warming it up a little, to see if it makes a difference to how easily the gel dispenses, but otherwise I have no complaints about this product.

For a first time user of something like this I found it quite easy. It's a handy little applicator which is slightly angled to spread the wax well.

Have to be patient with it though otherwise you end up with too much wax coming out. Tends to be a bit too thick, found rubbing it between my hands for 30 seconds or so helped soften it up. Sticks very well so be careful not to get it on any hairs you don't want removed!

Comes off cleanly and doesn't cause much irritation, any excess simply wipes off with a damp cloth.

I was a bit disappointed with this product I have to say. It was extremely difficult to get the wax to apply in a nice easy gliding action even when I heated it under hot water, glad it had heaps of cloth strips because I used a whole heap just on my eyebrows! I would not recommend this product to people with no previous at home waxing experience, as I think they would find it quite difficult. I wont be using this product again on my eyebrows, but may use it on my upper lip.

I just wrote a review on this but the page clocked out & lost all the content that i had just wrote... here we go again...

The things i like about this product is the fact its a wand applicator! Also the gel formula i found was good and way better as you don't have to heat it up! Also the wax does not hurt when being pulled off!

The things i did not like about this product were that it pulled the skin when applying, also that it is a bit hit and miss getting a straight line so had to only go for the stray hairs around eye brows i wouldn't suggest this for shaping your eye brows!

I find this product would be a greatly used as an inbetween eye brow waxes as i just find it be more convenient to get them done and shaped my a pro but then this product would be able help you keep them tame for longer so very much on the fence on this product! 5/10
