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.
