Hair Removal Wax > Immac Hair Removal Wax

If you want hassle free hair removing avoid these wax strips

Advantages: come in strips, no need to microwave, good for sensitive skin
Disadvantages: too time consuming, fiddly, disappointing results

I decided to purchase these as one of my new years resolutions was to look after myself a bit more, do a bit more pampering, make myself feel more feminine and keep my legs more hairfree than what I normally do! I am a loyal 'shaver' but am rather lazy and put it off until I really have to. This has led to hubby complaining that i feels like he is sleeping beside a rugby player, but with 3 kids two dogs a cat and man to look after among other things ...
...relax in a nice hot bath. So after some investigating on the net and in local pharmacies, I decided to opt for Veet ready to use wax strips in sensitive, as I have sensitive skin. I thought that if i waxed my legs they would be hairfree for 4-8weeks and smoother than after shaving, and with them being sensitive would not irritate my skin. Luckily superdrug had these ones on offer at the time in their sale so got them for about £2 as the box was ...

Review of Immac Ready To Use Wax Strips (sensitive)

Ineffective and a waste of money

Advantages: The concept is good
Disadvantages: An awkward product, complex to get "just right" and doesn't do what it claims to

Maybe there's something in your brain that stops you knowingly inflicting pain on yourself, just like when you pinch yourself it doesn't hurt because you know you're doing it. By that logic, because you know waxing hurts, you just can't bring yourself to pull the strip hard enough. Or perhaps this product is a total waste of money and totally useless. Maybe it's some of each, but I'm not impressed by it. Please note - although this is a waxing kit ...
...make your eyes water), I have rated it "not very painful" because it is ineffective. This kit constituted my first attempt (and my only attempt) to wax my own bikini line. I had never had a professional wax before so I didn't know how one was "done well", so to speak. So, how does it work? The product was a roller-topped curved-edged oblong clear plastic bottle with a wax cartridge in place (sealed with foil, as I recall) and a spare one provided. ...

Review of Immac Warm Wax AquaSystem

Spend 2 hours waxing your legs!!

Advantages: Not as messy as using a wax pot.
Disadvantages: Expensive and time consuming.

I thought this product would be convenient and easy to use but unfortunately this was not the case. The strips cost around £6.00 a pack and this works out quite expensive as you do use quite a lot of them when waxing your legs-and I'm not 6ft by the way!! The strips are to be warmed by rubbing them between your hands for about 20seconds. I found this to be quite uncomfortable after a while and my hands started to ache. The strips did remove most ...
...lot of effort as I kept having to wax over the same area to remove all the hair. After what seemed like hours I was exhausted and already started to dread my next waxing session. I only had a few strips left though so I used them to tidy my bikini line on a coulple of occasions. I felt a sense of relief come over me when I finally threw their empty box in the bin-I felt like doing a little dance. I will never buy them again.EVER!! ...

Review of Immac Mini Wax Strips

yyyeeeeeeeeooooowwwwwwww

Advantages: nice smooth skin
Disadvantages: immense pain

...general. I think that Immac is probably the best and most well known brand for hair removal so I have decided this is a good place! I would definately recommend any Immac product, even though they are more expensive they do work better and the results turn out better than any other brand I have used. OK, there's no point in lying, waxing hurts. If you do it wrong, it really hurts and if you do it right, it still hurts. There are several waxing products ...
...same thing, rip the hairs out at the root so they take longer to grow back - see, it even sounds painful!! Firstly, don't even bothing about the cold ready wax strips. They come in a packet with wax already on them and you just stick them on your leg and rip them off. I could pull out more hair with my teeth, they are useless. You may as well stick a bit of sellotape on your leg and pull it off or if you have longer hair you could opt for parcel ...
