I was so excited when I bought this product. I thought, yes! This is the end of my shaving days and going for a salon wax for good! I must say that after spending the money to purchase this product I was very disappointed. In theory this product works, but for someone who has thick and a lot of leg hair, it was a very long and timely process. It took me almost all of the sheets to do just one leg and it took me almost an hour to do one leg. I have up after I finished my one leg and went to the salon to get the other one done. For the extra money I pay I prefer to get it done professionally which is quick and effortless.

So i just gave this ago for this first time - was pretty straight forward - put the wax in, plug it in adn away you go. however i found my leg hairs werent long enough or too fine for the wax to grip onto them as it left a few patches where i had to re-do it. Didnt really hurt and the clothes felt really good & decent quality!
Tips: Make sure your not in a hurry as the max takes a decent amount of time to heat up.
I used this on both legs, but really wish I hadn't. For purposes of the trial I did both and have welts and abrasions from the product being so full of chemicals! I don't have sensitive skin so I am sure they need to reconsider their ingredients. It also took a full hour to heat and still rolled on unevenly. Decent hair removing product, but strips can only be used twice before they don't stick to the wax leaving a horrible residue.
I love this product. I bought one about 18 months ago.
The funny thing is i'm such a drip when it comes to having my legs waxed, it's the part of me that hurts the most, but I’ve got to say, with this product it hardly hurts at all.
You plug the unit in, and leave it for about 20-30 minutes to heat the wax up. Then you just roll it on the part you want to wax, apply the strip that comes with the product and off you go.
I find it works brilliantly and for me is almost painless. I’ve only ever used it on my legs so I can’t comment on what it would be like on other places, but it is so quick and convenient.
The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that the plug plugs, into the unit, not the base, so you have to keep pulling the plug in and out when you are actually doing the job, which is a bit of a pain, but apart from this, this is seriously the best leg waxing product I’ve used.
At $40 I reckon it’s a bargain. It would cost me $60 to have my legs waxed in a salon, and I reckon this would last you 4 months if you waxed each leg (knee down) every month.
Tips: I did run out of strips before the wax refill ran out but you can just go and buy a box of plain strips.
Overall I found that this would be a great product for people who are confident enough to do waxing at home. The wax took a bit longer to heat up than it said on the box, about 40ish minutes. The wax came off smoothly and evenly, however, I did roll over the same area twice to get better coverage.
I'm not very good at waxing but I found it incredibly easy to take off and it wasn't painful. I found that there was a lot of residue left but I believe it could be because I'm a beginner.
I'm quite happy with the results, and proud that I done it myself.
Tips: There are only 12 strips in the pack, you will need to buy more as the wax will definitely out last the strips!
Pros - no mess, love It! The product just apply an even thin film of wax onto my skin. - wax strip is sturdy and soft. I've tried reusing them and it still grabbed the wax. None was left on my skin. So ended up using only four strips for both legs. - I've never waxed before so was a bit worried on the pain as I have low tolerance for it. Was amazed it didn't hurt at all. - I've got fine hair and it removed each one of them. Impressive and pain free. - perfect finish wipe just moisturised my legs after the wax. And I used it to clean the roller. - because it applies an even thin film, the wax refill is still full.
Cons - instruction to heat it for 20mins. I had to do it for 40mins for the wax to easily glide on my skin. After 5mins I had to reheat it again as I struggle to apply it onto my skin.
Tips: Wax should roll on easily onto your skin. If not, reheat for another 5 mins and your good to go.
Make sure you follow the instruction careful and you'd be fine. Thanks BR. I'll definitely continue to use this product.
I was luck enough to be picked for the trial for this. As I am a novice at home waxer I was nervous about the pain and also the results but I was surprised how easy it was and with some pain but not a lot for someone like me who has a low pain threshold. The instructions say to heat the wax for about 30mins but I found that it needed to be a bit longer probably about 40 - 45min. The was applies thin and evenly with very little mess which I was impressed with as I was expecting it to be messy. Being a beginner it was very easy to do with good results and little pain so long as you hold the skin taught. I found I could use the strips a couple of times before having to grab a new one. I wouldn't recommend using them more than 3 times in one go. I did find that there wasn't quite enough strips to use for 2 full legs so it will pay to purchase more just in case. The wipes that come with the kit to remove any residue worked well too. Over all I was pleased with this product and probably would use it again. The only thing is the waiting for the wax to heat up as you need to allow yourself a fair amount to time to do everything properly.
Tips: * Make sure you purchase more strips just in case as I found there wasn't quite enough for 2 full legs
* Hold skin taught for less pain when pulling the strips off.
* Make sure hair is longish
* You will probably have to heat the wax for longer than the instructions say.
I let the wax heat for the suggested 20 minutes, it didnt roll out easy so i returned to heat for another 5 minutes. I presumed it would work this time but it was barely melted! trying to remove wax thats not melted enough reallty hurts! it didnt come with very many pads to remove the wax espically when i wasted 3 strips trying to heat the wax properly
Tips: leave it to heat for more like 40 minutes and return to the stand innbetween using it as it will stop it cooling down
Nope nope nope and nope. The device itself took well over an hour to heat up, then one I applied it to my arm and used the removal strip (as per instructions) not only did it leave almost all the hair still there or mostly snapped off at the shaft of the hair but it turned my arm bright red too :( then I tried on my bikini area and it caused ingrown hairs and hardly removed a thing.
Tips: Use this on extremely fine hair perhaps and only when you have a lot of time. I dont have many tips as I was so disapointed with the result.
This Veet at home waxing kit has not impressed me at all. I purchased this around a year ago when it was on sale due it saying you can get salon results at home and have just reused it. I wanted to try out this system as I was/am over shaving my legs and honestly love the results that waxing gives you. I loved how it included all the essentials in the kit and I looked through the instructions which seemed simple enough. The instructions state that the unit takes approximately 20 minutes to heat up, however I had it on for approximately 40-45 and found that the wax still wasn't heated properly as it seemed to dry on my skin quickly. I quickly placed the strips on top of the wax and I found that the wax settled on my skin. I found trying to get off this wax was really hard and have given up with trying to wax at home. I did find however that the unit sits comfortably in your hands and is also gorgeous because it is pink and white. I wouldn't repurchase this product due to it not working for me.
Tips: I would recommend not wasting your money or time and go to a salon to get your legs waxed if that is the method you prefer.
