Nad's Facial Wand Eyebrow Shaper

This product did not work well for me. I found it hard to even get it out of the wee tube. It did not remove any hair at all and just made a hell of a mess. So disappointed!

I brought this from the chemist for a fairly decent price thinking it would be great, as my usual wax I use for my eyebrows was almost out. Instead it was a sticky and almost runny mess, I followed the instructions exactly but in the end I didn't even manage to remove any stray hairs at all and had to use tweezers to do the whole job instead. The applicator thing wasn't great, overall it was just a waste of time and money.

I was so excited when I saw this on a supermarket shelf and what a disappointment it turned out to be.

This ticks all the boxes in the list of what a wax should not do.

Hard to spread? Yes

Did remove all the hair? Nope

Left over sticky mess? yes

If you see this product on a shelf...run far far away.

I’ve been waxing my brows at home for a while now, I had purchased some wax strips for the ever darkening top lip, and as my brows needed plucking, thought I’d give them a go. Once I got the hang of strips, I thought there’s got to be an easier way, so did a bit of research and found this wand. It didn’t have terribly good reviews here, but I had won a voucher for a pharmacy, So technically it didn’t cost me.

I rolled it in my hands to warm it a little, even though the wax was “ready to use straight from the box”,it is winter and the bathroom can quickly bring the temperature of products like wax to less than ideal. I was quite surprised to find the wax was at a great consistency.

The wand made it very easy to apply the wax in the right area (always a worry when I use pre-waxed strips, that I won’t see myself accidentally placing the wax part over my brow and rip it off without realising!). I placed a strip over the wax, but it virtually lifted no hair from the skin. I tried several applications, re-read the instructions, even tried the other brow, but virtually no hair removal.

The skin around One of my brows was left quite red and swollen, I realise now I should have done a patch test and given it was around my eye area, will definitely do this next time I use a product like this around the eyes. I applied an after wax oil treatment (that came from a similar brand with other wax products I use) and over the following days got worse and definitely put me off giving the product a second chance. No one commented on my swollen/darkened skin, but I felt like it was screaming out at people - I would not liked to have put makeup over it that week.

I gave the wand to a friend to try, she hasn’t braved it yet! I won’t be using this product again, back to the pre-waxed strips that I know work for me.
