Hive Of Beauty Professional Small Paper Waxing Strips

Advantages: cheaper than a salon wax
Disadvantages: don't actually work so you'd need to pay for the salon wax on top of this

...on the leaflet inside to save you having to read it yourselves and then I'll tell you how I got on with it. The precautions tell you to keep out of reach of children, do not swallow (why would you?) and avoid contact with eyes. It also tells you to test it on a small part of the skin before using it for the first time but I don't know anyone who actually does this, but I suppose its the right thing for people with sensitive skin which this marketed at. It also says its not suitable for diabetics, the elderly and people taking prescribed medication for acne. Do not use on spots, cuts, varicose veins, beauty spots, broken, irritated or sunburnt skin or on skin which has suffered an adverse reaction to waxes in the past. It also states that it is for use on any body part APART from the breast or perianal or genital areas or eyebrows, nose or ears... Read review

Advantages: Ummmm - well it smells quite nice....
Disadvantages: It doesn't work. I'd say that's a pretty big disadvantage...

...in the guise of wax on, wax off strips, and I know that deep inside every woman that walks the planet is that simple knowledge. The simple truth that we try not to hear. We are so very often the puppets of the money making machine, and we buy because we let the voice of the money making machine, with it’s clever adverts and marketing propaganda ring louder in our ears than our own clear, simple truth.

But I would probably call it Immac, as that’s what it’s always been... Read review

...legs. There were some sticky areas left,but i was mainly able to rub it off, and where it was particularly sticky where it was stuck to unremoved hairs, i used a tib of talc, then rubbed it off. Unfortunately, even though I bought the wax strips to save me shaving for a while, I was forced to resort back to shaving! And I am now left with half a pack of wax strips I'm probably never going to use. However, I did find that the hairs that had been removed, took about a week to grow back, so they would be suitable for a week away without shaving, but is it really worth the effort? You get 36 single use strips for less than £4 and they're about 2 inches by 6 inches. <<<Ratings>>> Packaging: 9/10-The strips come in a flat, slim box which barely takes up any space and fits easily into any small space in any drawer!
