...the treated area gently with Louis Marcel Aftercare Balm Oil Tissues to remove excess residue and moisturise the skin. Reality *********** These waxing atrips are useless. The honey fragrance is more of a chemical fragrance and they don’t work. I followed the above directions carefully and they removed less than half of the hairs on my legs and quite a bit of skin. And when it comes to removing any residual wax you need a scrubbing brush not aftercare ... Read review

Advantages: I'm not sure if there were any....
Disadvantages: Read on to find out!

From the great reviews everyone else gave this product I was expecting amazing results which is why I was prepared to shell out £15 for a tub of Nads in my local Boots. Unfortunately I can't say that Nads performed any better then an own-brand sugaring kit. It's not like it did terribly it's just that I had a number of issues with the product: 1. Firstly the 'gel' was really, really hard. I don't know how you're meant to use the product without ...
...into it. This was annoying because the whole reason I'd decided to try Nads rather then using the usual hot wax/sugaring alternatives was because I couldn't be bothered with having to warm it up. Anyway... after following the instructions and putting it in hot tap water for 5 minutes the gel was pliable and I thought things were looking up... HOWEVER 2. This method is NOT pain free as the blurb on the box may suggest. It basically rips the hair ... Read review

Veet Facial Waxing Strips **************************** For those of you who are new to waxing, this may not be the most encouraging first choice - I suppose, shaving is the easiest or even plucking, though fairly painful and potentially takes forever. What is it? *********** Waxing strips for hair removal. A solidified liquid wax the size of a wooden ice-cream stick is encased between two plastic sheets. The pack refers to facial waxing strips ...
...of the body such as underarms, bikini line and touch-ups. For the face, the strips can be used for the upper lip, chin and centre brow. How do I use them? ********************* It is usually best to test on a small area first to check for any sensitivities.

Advantages: cheap, not as painful as others
Disadvantages: Doesn't work so well, bad reaction to this product

It's time to make a rather unfortunate (if not unattractive) confession: left unattended, a lot of tiny dark hairs start to appear on my upper-lip. As time goes on, these tiny hairs start to resemble a moustache that Hulk Hogan, Ned Flanders and even my dear late father would be proud of. Understandably, this is not really something I want to keep on my person for too long. So, for a few years, every four weeks, I'd pop off down to a local beauty ...
...results were perfect - my upper-lip was hair-free! But then I started to become disheartened about how much money I was wasting on this four-weekly event, I mean, how hard can it be to wax off some hairs from a relatively small patch of skin? Well, quite hard by all accounts. Maybe my technique is wrong, but I have tried numerous cold-wax products, and whilst hairs are removed, I am still left with something of a five-o-clock shadow…my stubborn nature ... Read review
