I actually didn't realise this product was a wax, I thought it was a depilatory cream! I used it anyway after buying t for 25% off. It was very easy to use, I used it on my eyebrow area and over the lip and was quite impressed. It was relatively painless,and I found I could apply the wax in an accurate way as to shape the eyebrow but perhaps not as good as if I had gone to a salon ;-)

Tips: Do not use anything on your skin for 24 hours afterwards! I forgot and it infected a couple of pores slightly but it did go down a day later
I really enjoyed this product, I use it mainly for touching up areas around my eyebrows after tweezing, I find it works best on the fine white hairs around my eyebrows rather than the thicker hairs. I have also used on my upper lip and found it to be just as effective there.
I have been using wax at home for around 15 years and I found this to be an easy and fast way for removal of facial hair. The application tip is great and if I need to disperse the wax further I use a clean orange stick (the ones for your cuticles!) I love that the wax does not need to be heated as there is no risk of burning.
The formulation is pleasantly scented and easy to spread out.
Tips: Follow the instructions carefully to get the best results, do not rub the wax on the cotton sheet too much before removal or the wax will become warm and will not remove hair properly.
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.
I got this because i had read somewhere that it was pretty much fool proof, it kinda is. I found it easy to use with the tip and the instructions were great but it didn't really remove every little hair, no biggy cos my eyebrows are little blondies but I know they are there so I'd hoped it would get them all. Never fair I will continue to use!
Tips: Have clean dry skin to get the best results and use in a well lit area and maybe a little cooling gel to sooth the redness afterwards. :)
I try my hardest to use gels and waxes but I have a very poor pain threshold when it comes to hair removal. I really like how it is a gel and doesn't need to be hot so there is no fear of burning myself and the extra product is easy to clean off should it stray. It's not the best at removing a small amount of hair so you will want to make sure you have a decent amount to remove than just a few strays. I though the strips were great as I could reuse them and they were a pretty good size too. The tip made it easy to apply and I myself didn't find it messy.
This product is a great way of DIY waxing. It is easy to use and their is virtually no risk of burning yourself. I did find I got a better result if my eyebrows weren't too hairy to begin with. The applicator stick made it easy to get a good shape and you can wash excess wax off with water!. Only downfall for me was having to wash and dry the cotton strips but at least it environmentally friendly
Tips: Clean, dry surface. Make sure the wax is free flowing and not too tacky before you use. If it is warm enough it will be the right consistency.
I have re-purchased this product a couple of times now and have never been disappointed. It is quick and super simple to use at home. The results have been very positive for me, and found it well worth it compared to paying to have it done at a salon. The smooth formula allows it to go on easily and is distributed accurately. I don't need to use tweezers at all. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a cheaper alternative to professional brow waxing.
Tips: Slowly apply the wax to the area taking care not to get too much on at once.
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.
Tips: After removing a strip, put the strip back on your face, rub, and pull off again in areas where you dont need to be so accurate, like upper lip, chin, or stray eyebrow hairs on your face.
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.
Tips: Warm the tube of wax before using. I prefer to wrap the tube in a hot cloth for a few minutes (while I wash my face), instead of standing the tube in water. The warm wax is easier to spread and more hairs are removed.
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.
Tips: I found I had to run it under the hot tap for 10 seconds between applications to get the wax to come out the right consistency.
