Veet Warm Wax Review

This is easy to use, put in the microwave for about 45 seconds mix and the heat bit on the stick will tell you if it's to hot. I had mixed results, probably because I didn't let the hairs grow long enough

Before this product the only thing that I waxed was my eyebrows and we'll not even I did those!

However a friend had mentioned this product that she tried as she wasn't confident going to a salon and getting her legs done, this is what she used. In light of our conversation and how, quick and easy it was to do and in the privacy of your own home (if you needed to let out a tear you could) I decided why not give it a go?! After all I'd rather not have to shave MG legs every 2nd day!

The packaging? A cube cardboard box inside a tub of wax, cotton strip and a stick which has a heat spot on it (resembles a iceblock stick but thicker). I was surprised by the cotton strip I was expecting, well not cotton lol

So basically you heat the product up in the microwave (in my microwave 50 seconds did the trick) pop the stick in the wax if it's too hot the heat spot will go black, spread it evenly over an area of your leg. Place the cotton over the wax on your leg, give it a good rub so the wax and cotton are jelled well together, pray for the best and well rip.

I will admit this took me a couple of times to see any result. The first couple of times I tried the wa x didn't stick well to the cotton so no hairs came out, the wax wasn't hot enough the second time. On my third attempt Hello!!!!!

In all honesty my only issue with this product is I think the wax is too thick and it cools down super quick and I found my self re heating it often.

The only reason I don't like this product is I'm not one for pain and I really like shaving over having the hairs yanked out of my legs.

I have been using this product for years. It comes with 10 cotton strips and an applicator. You can heat this in the microwave or in a pot of warm water. I find that 40 seconds in the microwave for a full jar is enough (just make sure you mix the very hot centre into the edges).

I get mixed results every time I use it. But I think the results depend on how long the hair is and how warm the wax is. But practice makes perfect.

It smells pleasant and I have had no issue with sensitive skin.

I had never even considered waxing, until I saw this product on special and thought i would give it a try (this was at least a year ago). I had always been a razor girl so was interested in how I would find a waxing kit.

This product comes with the wax in a big white tub. The tub has a twist off lid (which can be hard to get on and off and the wax residue can harden and make it stick). The tub is boring, and nothing special. It also comes with a spatula, which has a heat temperature spot which lets you know if the wax is too hot to use (something that i found really handy), and it comes with fabric wax strips as well.

The wax is slightly darker than golden syrup, and an almost solid consistency. Once heated the consitency turns into a thin runny honey, which makes it really easy to spread thinly. Then its easy to place a strip down, rub it over the wax, pull skin tight with one hand and remove the strip with the other,

This product definitely isn't painless (but easily bearable), and removes about 80% of the hair on the first go, so i find you do have to go over the same spot more than once which makes my skin a bit tender.

There are some issues with this product. I find there actually arent enough wax strips to wax my entire legs, especially when i have to wax spots more than once. I find that i actually use a lot of wax as well, which means this is not a cost effective option for me. The wax also cools down really quickly, which is annoying because then you have to reheat it.. and wait for it too cool down and it's really time consuming.

On a positive note, it does remove hair and provide long-lasting results, as well as the residue wax spots being easily removes with a warm wet flannel.

Overall, this product has as many pro's as it does cons. Its a nice product, but the design and kit needs a bit more thought, and using this requires patience which I don't always have.

I used this on a friend's legs, and as long as the pot was kept hot, it was just fine. I only had an issue with the pot cooling to quickly so I had to keep getting up to zap it in the microwave, then waiting for it to cool a little so it wasn't too hot. Tedious process!

I thought this wax was great for a first timer. I have never used wax before so I just followed the intructions and I found it was easy to use. The spatula it comes with is handy, it has a temperature indictor on it to tell you whether the wax is too hot. I only waxed the lower half of my legs, I couldn't do my knees, they were too knobbly and I didn't have the patience to do my upper legs. It is quite time consuming and I had to do one leg per day because I ran out of strips the first day only managing to do one of my legs.

I've tried a few differend brands and this is by far the best. It did take me a few goes to get it right, over heating, too much, not enough.it seriously hurt when you put it on and its so hot so check the tempreture of it first! The wooden thing to apply has a 'no' that shows up if it's to hot I like that idea! Only product I use....there now! Best by far

So I had a bit of trouble with this start with. I overheated it and had to wait quite a while for it to cool down. I applied it in small sections to my leg and managed to remove quite a bit of hair but also found it left some behind, so would have to do the same spot three or four times, and even then it didn't pick up all the hair. It took soooo long to get through one leg (which was still covered in patches of hair) that I just gave up and did the other leg the next day. I got fed up with trying to remove every hair that I just ended up shaving to get rid of the strays. That was a about a week and half ago. Now I'm dealing with the waxed hairs growing back, and unfortunately a lot of them are ingrown, so my legs are quite sore and itchy. In the future I will stick to shaving - it may grow back quicker, but at least I don't get ingrown hairs when I shave.
