Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips for Face

I had a go at my moustache (on a lady!) some years ago with Nads strips and ended up with lots of little dark stubbly bits - the hairs were broken off rather than pulled out. All the pain and none of the gain. Since then I have been inclined to bleach instead, but saw the reviews on here and thought I would have another go. This time I found that the soft little hairs did seem to be grabbed and whipped away. It is undoubtedly a fiddly job and the length of the strips does not make it any easier. I also found the fabric a bit difficult to grip, my fingers seemed to slip off once or twice before I got the nice fast 'zip-back' I was aiming for. However it is convenient to grab a pack with the shopping and then I can whip off the mo whenever I like rather than messing about mixing and timing bleach. Or heaven forbid, trying to fit a visit to the beautician in to my week!

I have used this a few times and love it! Couldn't be easier to wax in the comfort of your own home. I also use the Veet Ready to use wax strips for body and it works wonders too. If you get the wax nice and warm, apply it correctly and follow instructions you will have no problems. The packaging is nice, strips are a perfect size and you can also cut the strips down to suit your needs. They supply 4 or 5 tea-tree oil wipes for you to use after you wax and they work wonders too. You get approx 10-12 strips per pack which should last you months, and at approx $15.00 NZD rrp they are really cheap!

Simple and easy to get on and off. I use these on my face as well as other but areas such as the old snails trail and they work great to pick up the few hairs that grow there. Really easy to use and cheap also which is a bonus! The new design makes pulling them off even easier also!

I use this product regularly and i would have to say its probably my favourite it removes hair well and i get no rashes from it which is a massive bonus as nobody likes getting rashes from hair removal the wipes are a wee bit oily but they work pretty well to soothe the skin

I would use these again most definitely if only it didn't hurt that much. It works great and it even has little moisturised packaged tissues to help wipe up after all is finished. Overall it's great, but I've never been the type to wax.

these are awesome for a quick touch up before the weekend, i like that you can just heat them up with your hands because the idea of heating hot wax in the microwave and burning myself scares me too much to try! the wipes that come with it are great for getting the excess wax off afterwards, but they are quite large and there isnt enough of them in the package, i would prefer more smaller wipes than less large wipes to ensure there is less chance of contamination (would be better to have a new wipe for each wax strip)

If you can put up with the temporary pain of pulling these off your skin, these wax strips are worth trying. It took me about 10 mins to do my top lip & even a few stray hairs on my chin. The strips are easy to use, simply warm in your hands, then peel strips apart, you end up with 2 strips which is all you need for 1 application. Very effective for removing hair on the face, can also be used for touching up underarms & bikini line. The wax is very sticky, so the wipes are essential to use to get the wax off. The wipes have a lovely fragrance & are very oily, so I finished off with Nivea Cleansing wipes.

I used for my upper lip hair, because i did not want to shave it off, and plucking would take too long. The thing is you have to have hair as short as 2mm, for it to be pulled off, so if you have million of tiny hair less than 2mm then it will not work as well.

I found that it pulled out the big ones but the small hairs were not pulled off, as it stated. It worked very well, and it is inexpensive, it also comes with calming wipes which clean the left over traces of the wax.

I have used these with good results to remove annoying cheek & jaw fluff and dark hairs above the lip. For those hairs it misses it's easy enough just to use the tweezers to tidy up. My daughter has used on her jaw and between her eyebrows. Good for use on sensitive skin and no messing around with smelly creams or hot waxes that can burn your skin. Rub between your palms to soften the wax & help it to stick. Smooth strip onto hair you want to remove (rub your finger over strip a couple of times) in the direction of hair growth then rip off quickly using the tab on the strip. Smarts a bit but it's bearable. Remove any sticky residue with baby oil or face wipes, or with one of the 4 wipes provided in the kit. 20 wax strips in the pack, which can be reused 1-2 times if used straight away. A bit of redness goes away resonably quickly, but doing it at night is best just to be sure.
