Nad's Facial Wand Eyebrow Shaper

This product was too awkward to use as it was too thick or stringy type even though it was sitting in a glass of hot water. I prefer the strips

I have the world's most unruly, explosive eyebrows known to man!

Whilst eyebrow technicians love them (something about having a large canvas), I am less appreciative of them. People tend to think of bad eyebrows as a monobrow - thats not my issue. My issue is that my eyebrows extend up and out. So I get them popping up on my forehead all the way out towards my hairline, and slightly depending below my eye.

To say I'm over plucking my eyebrows is an understatement, if it was just my brows that needed plucking it would be fine, but all the other stray hairs make it a pain in the butt..especially when my hair grows so fast, its a 2 weekly affair.

This product is perfect for me. It took a bit of getting used to, but I was persistent and motivated to master it. The wand isn't as simple to master as you might imagine, and the instructions make it sound simplier than it is. Firstly, the wax needs to be quite warm for easy and accurate application. The instructions were quite blasé about the temperature, but its really the key to using it. I was standing it in warm water to soften, but when I moved to the microwave method and warmed it more than indicted by the instructions was when I started to get proper results. Secondly, apply the wax in a reverse direction to your eyebrows holding the wand nozzle fairly flat to your skin. Thirdly, rub and let cool for quite a while before peeling off.

I love this for taking care of my strays, and gives me a fantastic topline on my eyebrows. For my underbrow, its less so and still needs a bit of a tidy up, but it takes a lot of work out of it.

I found this product very easy to use, I'm just not very good at shaping my own brows. I did lose all of the cotton things before the product wore out.

Personally I prefer a hot wax to this. I find the adhesive is not brilliant and it takes a few goes to remove all of the hair.

For best results, wash and dry your face before applying the wax.  The slimline, twist up applicator is really easy to use, although I did expect the wax to come out of the top of the applicator and not through a hole on one side.  Application is easy with no mess and I use it on both my eyebrows and upper lip.  Be sure to hold your skin with one hand, so that it's tight, before removing the strip with the other. If your skin moves with the removal of the strip, there's less chance of the hairs being pulled out.

The water-soluble wax and cotton strips are much more gentle than pre-waxed strips (like Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips for Face) and don’t leave my skin as red.  If I do miss any hairs, I can easily reapply the wax to the area and wax it again without irritating my skin.

The cotton strips are washable and reusable and easily come clean in warm water.  I wash and reuse my strips and all they need is a light rinse, no soap required and are left to air dry.  I’ve only used 6 strips from the box and just wish that they would make a wax refill, as it would be more economical than having to buy the whole applicator (and more strips) whenever the wax runs out.

After waxing, any residue washes off my skin easily with warm water.

This facial wand is great. The wand makes it easy to apply to the areas you want to wax. When applied you then just use the provided material strips and firmly press down onto the waxed area and then remove quickly. it's amazing how much hair it actually pulls as you can clearly see the hair on the strip. I have also used this on my top lip, it is amazing. so quick and no mess. I will definitely be buying this product again when I run out of my current supply.

Smelled nice and felt like a gentler product to use then hot wax but it just was not sticky enough for me. I had to re-apply a couple of times. Lucky its a smaller area to wax!

I love this product I got it a few weeks ago and Its wonderful! I am always so scared to use small wax strips on my face and this wand makes it easy to only target the hair you want removed. Its quick and easy and doesnt leave pimples afterward. You dont need much wax at all so I can tell this product is going to last a long time!

I purchased this to tame my brows, usually i go for the strips and cut them but saw this and was like that is an awesome idea. Got home and gave it a go...well first go i think it removed one or two hairs so i tried again i tried sitting it in hotter water thinking not warmed up enough....this time same result. I tried one more time still same results again. Blah i gave up it wasn't working for me not sure why, but I think I will stick with the strips which is a shame because I liked the concept

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this eyebrow shaper. I normally go to a salon for eyebrow shaping and was very keen for a cheaper option.

Upon reading the directions I was a little bit disappointed to see that the strips it comes with are "washable" not "disposable" because of the extra effort required but they turned out to be extremely easy to wash and having washable strips means they'll never run out!

The wax was quite sticky at room temperature so I rubbed the tube to warm it up and this helped. I used it to wax my brows and I found it did a great job at removing all those fine hairs that aren't really visible when plucking. The downside of using this on the eyebrows is that the shape of the applicator tip made it difficult to achieve precise lines so I didn't want to apply it to close to brow line.

I then thought i'd try it on my upper lip. The precision of the applicator wasn't a problem in this area and it removed hairs nicely.

I also then used it on my partners brows to tidy them up and his skin was nice and smooth afterward and he commented how painless it was.

All in all I like this product but I probably wouldn't purchase it due to the difficulty I had achieving a precise line but I would recommend it to anyone waxing a small area where precision isn't essential.

Personally, this product didn't work for me. I struggled with the application to the brow and the upper lip. The plastic tip just pulled and tugged on my skin even after heating the product slightly. The was hard to smooth out into a thin layer across the skin and I found it easier to use my fingers to apply it which was a little bit strange. The packaging is cute and compact but this isn't a product that I would purchase in a shop for the RRP, if gifted to me again I would use it again but it is not my favourite wax product. I found the wax was very solid and extremely sticky even when trying to remove with warm water.
