Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips for Face

I received these wax strips from one of my subscription boxes. I decided to use this due to wanting to tidy up my eyebrows and curious about using facial waxing strips. I found for me have never been a huge fan of wax strips as I can never get them to work for me and these strips also didn't work for me. I found that I followed the instructions perfectly and the wax still dried up in my skin. I sadly will not be using wax strips again and would rather pluck or use hair removal cream to get rid off unwanted facial hair.

I am a big wax fan and when I saw these strips they looked very easy to use and perfect for your face. I purchased these for around $15? I cant really remember but they were a bit overly priced compared to other ones I had used in the past but veet never lets me down so I thought why not.

The strips are a perfect size and very easy to use, I tried them once before and they were ok, they left more redness than usual but the second time I used these I had the worst experience ever. The second time I used these I applied them to under my eyebrows, waited a few seconds before pulling against the grain and I felt a stinging sensation, I did second side under my second eyebrow and the same thing happened. I looked in the mirror and that the areas I had just waxed were red, they started bleeding a little bit and I panicked. It started burning so I wet a cloth with cold water and left it there for a few minutes, it hurt so badly! Looking at the strips that I had just used, they had small pieces of skin, I was so disgusted and disappointed, they hurt for days and I couldn't put any makeup under my eyebrows for just under 2 weeks. Since then I haven't used these strips again, I threw the rest of them into the rubbish.

I don't know if it was just a bad batch but it has scared me to use these strips again. Im glad that months after using these the skin came back and there are no scars.

I had a go with these as my first waxing experience - ever! I thought the box looked attractive and I use other Veet products so thought these would be equally easy to use and reliable.

Firstly I managed to get one on without issue, but then oh the pain of removing it!! It got most of the hair but lots of skin seemed to come with it. I felt sticky and horrible afterwards and had bright red skin where the wax had come off. The wipes worked ok for getting rid of the wax, and smelled nice, but I was conscious of the waxed area for ages afterwards. It put me off waxing for a long time but I now know from getting professional waxes that it doesn't have to be that painful or irritating to the skin. I only tried them on my face so they may be better for other body parts, but to be honest I didn't want to try.

I'm afraid I wouldn't buy these again or recommend them.

My skin is real sensitive. I found these strips easy to use but I got a nasty reaction of pimple breakouts around the places I had waxed. I cleaned my face before I used them and used the after-wax wipe and my skin reacted badly.

Does not really remove the hair like it says, There is still hair left and found it irritating if you reapplied it over the same are. It made the skin quite sore afterwards. The wipes are very oily. I feel that there needs to be more wipes for the amount of wax strips that were in the pack. Product does have a really nice smell. It would be great if it made to hair thinner the more times that you used it.

The ready to use wax strips are easier to use than hot wax options, but the results are less effective. The wax is incredibly sticky, making it harder to apply to the right areas. The paper tabs are hard to get a grip of, so when you go to pull them off you are often left with a lot of hair on the affected area.

Either I'm not doing it correctly or it's just really hard to wax underarm....

I felt that there was still a handful of random hairs here and there that was still there and was not waxed.. About 80% of the hairs is gone from the area and the after wax wipes worked amazingly.

I also used up half of the pack already in one session and I felt that it didn't quite do it's job...

Maybe someone can tell me their tried and perfected technique to wax underarms?

I'm not COMPLETELY unhappy with it. Maybe if the area on the waxing sheet were ~slightly~ bigger?

Sooooo I don't really like to grow my moustache too long so I sometimes like to wax it (JOKING). But seriously, I bought these Veet strips and used about 5 times. 4 out of 5 times this gave me a terrible red stingy patch (use on upper lip) as if it's actually ripping some of my skin out!!!! It takes days for this to heal and I used papaw cream and lots of moisturizer to help heal this faster. I thought I might be doing it wrong hence I insisted but seems to be persistent so might just stick to a salon (excuse the pun). I also find that it doesn't remove 100% of the hair (especially the finer) and I have to use an epilator to finish off the job!!! (ouch)

Wow I use these on my face.. Mainly upper lip and I found it very very very painful. I have had my upper lip done for years but nothing hurt more than these strips. It left a lot of wax on my skin and was hard to remove. It didn't get rid if all the hair so I ended up tweezing anyway! If your wanting something quick and easy I wouldn't recommend this product it looks like its easy but in the end it takes you longer to clean up what it misses. It didn't really have a scent tho! Over all I found I did not like this product and wouldn't use again! Disappointed.

I didn't find it did the trick for me. Much more painful than I expected it to be. It also missed a lot of hairs and would need more than one pack to get the result I wanted
