Nad's Facial Wax Strips

I find these brilliant! Quick and very easy to use! Brilliant for the upper lip and eyebrows! Pull the hairs out easily.

I really like these, especially for my upper lip area. They will probably be one of my holy grail items :)

Packaged in a plastic bag inside a box are 20 double sided strips. Aswell as four foiled bag after care wipes. The wipes are oil based and are a full size wipe which could've been smaller and I may try to half it to get more use from the 1. The strips have the feel of cloth and are weaved. They wax is green and no real scent that I can smell. The strips are conveniently sized to suit the small targeted areas for application. However I found for the brows still to be a bit big so have cut down more, to suite the brow are for easy use. It takes no time to prepare. Just rub between hands then peel apart and apply to area. Then rub onto target area until you see that the strip has adhered to target zone. Keep skin taut and rip off. I love the effect and the feeling isn't abrasive or tearing of the skin. The wax is very gentle yet effective with hair removal. It did show signs of tenderness on my skin near my lids as my upper right lid has a scar and this area is thinner than usual due to the scar tissue and this is where it teared at my skin. But not to worry I'm applying my kawa kawa cream to help and reduce any skin irritation. I found the wipes were more irritating to this secondary tear. The only thing that I had wrong but I don't blame the product I think this more my skin issue. I am now going to continue to purchase this for the price I get 20 uses and this would be the price of 1 visit to the beauty salon for the same job done. I think if you have ano facial hair of which you want to remove yourself do it and buy these. It's simple convenient and easy. If you have already a good brow shape and just need removal of excessive hair this is for you.

I had been using Veet Facial Wax Strips for years to get rid of unwanted facial hair on my upper lip, until the day that the strip ripped off a thin layer of skin as well as the unwanted hairs! This ended up happening on more than one (separate) occasion and I wasn't waxing over an area that I'd already done, so I finally switched from Veet to Nad's.

Compared to Veet Facial Wax Strips, I find the Nad's Facial Wax Strips to be much more gentle. They don't leave the skin on my lip looking as red and irritated for as long and I've even re-waxed an area where some hairs have been left behind, something I definitely wouldn't do with the Veet strips.

These strips are the perfect size for other areas, like my bikini line, belly button and feet (yes, unfortunately I have hairy toes that need waxing too) and they work really well.

Would I purchase them again or recommend them? Yes, I've bought these multiple times and will continue to use them. I'd definitely recommend them over the Veet ones.

Scouring the shelf at our local pharmacy for the Nads eyebrow wand I couldn’t find it, the lovely sales assistant came over to tell me they no longer stock it. Waves of panic wash over me, what am I going to do now? I needed that wand like yesterday, these brows are seriously outta control. I then spotted a familiar looking white and green box with the NADS logo, I pick it up and read the box. ‘wax strips’ it read. Well I can make it work I thought and promptly made my way home to tidy myself up.

These wax strips sounded too good to be true, warm between your hands, peel apart, apply to desired area. Now I must confess I am a bit lazy when it comes to some beauty chores, the faster and easier the better, so I was already in love from that point.

I grabbed out two of the strips and the outsides look like two cotton strips with like a wax/plastic coating and feel quite strong. They are probably the size of your thumb and are rectangular shape. After I hold the strips between my palms for a few seconds I pull them apart and can see a very thin layer of green wax. Now this is where the fun began.. so with these strips being rectangular and my eyebrows slightly rounded I was so, so scared I was going to rip half my eyebrows off. But very careful and precise placing and it was perfect.

I pull the skin tight around my temple and rip the strip off and yus no pain! Just a quick burn and it’s all over. I examine the strip and notice even the teeny tiny blonde hairs have come out too, winning! A cold facecloth over my brows for a few minutes and there is not even any redness. I also love how these strips don’t even leave any sticky residue after your finished just super soft skin. I still have to pluck a few strays from really close to my brows but this only takes a few seconds and it’s something I normally have to do anyway.

Overall I’m really impressed with these strips and I will continue to purchase them over the eyebrow wand they are more convenient, quicker and actually do a better job.

A staple product in my hair removal regime. The strips are pre waxed so all you need to do is rub the strips between your hands, separate the strips and apply to the area of hair you want to remove. I tend to use these strips just for the upper lip as that is where I feel most comfortable that I won't make a mistake, but I understand that people use these strips for brows, other facial hair areas and sometimes bikini line. Priced between $10-$15 per pack of 24 strips these strips can last me about 6 months or even longer sometimes so definitely worth the money spent.

I picked these up just before Christmas because I had forgotten to book in with my beauty therapist beforehand and my moustache was getting out of control. In my opinion getting your top lip waxed is the most ouchy area on your body and I wasn't really looking forward to trying to do it myself. The strips are stuck together and you just need to warm them between your hands so you can pull them apart. Then I applied one to my face and waited a minute or so. Then I pulled it off in the way the directions advised and while it hurt it was literally only when I was pulling it off that it did hurt. I did two strips on each side and after that there were all but three hairs left on each side which I just tweezed out. Then I used the one of the calming oil wipes and it soothed my skin and removed all traces of the wax from my face. It was so easy that I'm going to keep doing this myself at home. I'm a total convert!

Nads is my wax brand of choice for home waxing. I usually wax my arms in the summer time, but occasionally worry about the hair on my upper lip, and my toes (eek). I’m not brave enough to make an appointment at a salon for facial hair removal, so these pre-waxed strips are great for home use.

Start with cleansing the skin area, and I like to use my hands to smooth hair down into one direction. Then simply warm the strips (2 strips stuck waxed side together), to soften the wax, for a minute or two (longer on cool days), then peel apart. I immediately fold one strip in half, incase I don’t need it, or don’t use it right away, and put to one side while I’m using the other strip. Apply in a quick motion, flat against your skin. Hold your hand against the strip, then rub it gently backwards and forwards just to make sure the wax is still warm and pliable, then holding your skin taught with one hand, and grabbing the end of the wax strip with your other hand, quickly tear the strip back on a 45o angle, against the hair growth direction. The faster you pull, and the better the angle, the less it hurts. And BREATHE out as you pull the strip across!

If you can’t stand the sting, as soon as you’ve pulled the strip off, place your free hand firmLY on the area you just waxed, it helps easy the pain! Repeat the process around the areas you want waxed, 2-3 times until the strip seems to no longer pull out the hair, or you’ve removed the hair. Rewarm the second strip in your hands, and repeat until you’ve sufficiently removed hair.

I have recently started waxing my eyebrows with these strips, not precisely (I wax as much as I can, but tweeze into shape), and it doesn’t hurt anywhere near as much as the top lip area! Because the eye area under the brow is so small, I cut a strip in half lengthways to do this area.

If you have sticky residue on your skin, use the non-waxed back of a used strip to remove it, just press it on, rub your hand up and down for a few moments then quickly lift off the strip - this usually removes most if not all residue. Be sure to use the post wax wipes - these help calm the skin down and lessen inflammation and redness.

31 Years old and this is the first time ever using these wax strips. Due to lockdown I couldn't get my facial touch up and it was getting rather shocking (lol) I used to pay $12-$15 for brows, mo and chin wax but I won't be going back after using this, $11 for a box that'll last me at least 2-3 wax trips and money saved!

I’ve tried many wax strips, and absolutely love these. Removes all unwanted hair, and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I usually get a rash after waxing, but i was hardly red at all. Would recommend these.
