Effective easy to use wax strips

Advantages: Simple and effective
Disadvantages: None

...I find these ready to use wax strips the best on the market. I have tried several and these are definitely the best for me. I tend to use the one for sensitive skin, even though I don't have sensitive skin, just because I think it will hurt less! It does hurt a little when I wax but every time I do it, it gets easier. I must be de-sensitising! The strips contain vitamin E and Almon oil to moisturise your skin and I have never once known my skin to dry out after using them so I guess these ingredients do their job. There are 20 strips in a packet and 4 finishing wipes that are very oily but remove any waxy gubbins that are left on your skin. My favourite thing about these is the fact that you can use them on short hair so you don't have to turn into a gorilla before you can wax. On the downside, I find they always leave...

Review of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

veet hair removing wax strips.

Advantages: I did not find any.
Disadvantages: They do not remove hair and leave you sore.

...I recently purcashed veet ready to use wax strips as an alternative to using a razor , and was very dissapointed with the results considering they are sold by such a big name . All i can say is that i failed to remove hardly any hair at all and found the wax very difficult to remove even with the wipes included . My skin was left feel really sore and for no good end result . Convinced i was using them wrong i tried to use them a few days later checking and double checking the intructions but still with the same dissapointing result . I would never use or buy these again unless i wanted to waste my money . I find they would be more useful for removing fluff from hard wearing materials . Maybe veet could find a better niche for them as i have ....

Review of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

Ready to use wax strips... HA!

Advantages: None that i can think of.
Disadvantages: It just doesn't work.

...I first saw this product on a television advert. I was a 'wax virgin', shaving everyday to keep my stubble at bay. I was keen to try these so I went to my local boots and bought some that day. I have no clue how expensive they were, but I don't suppose they were very much at all (maybe around £6?). When I got home, I read the instructions a few times so I was sure I knew what I was doing. It seemed simple enough; Smooth the wax strip onto your skin in the direction of the hair growth, hold the skin taut and pull in the oposite direction. Sounds simple, right? It probably would have if it actually worked, but it didn't. If it was skin I was trying to remove I think I would have been more successful. About 4 strands of hair came out. And it wasn't painless like the advert suggests. Definately not. It hurt, and while I was expecting...

Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips - Not such a Perfect Finish!

Advantages: Nice smell, areas where hair WAS removed felt silky soft, wipes do remove excess wax
Disadvantages: Too many areas where hair WASN'T removed, price, speed, pain

...Hi... Thought I'd share my (very recent) experience of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips. Just to make clear now, the strips I used were part of the pink Complete Body Kit, consisting of 20 leg strips, 12 bikini/underarm strips, and 4 Perfect Finish wipes, and claiming to be effective on hair as short as 2mm. I'm 17 years old, normal, and to be honest, quite an optimist, so this is the first almost negative review I've given anything. The 'satisfactory' was moved up from a 'poor' because I felt mean! Usually, I'd use Veet cream (works like magic, if you're wondering) , but as I was in Boots to stock up these caught my eye. They were on a discount, and I'd wanted to try waxing, so I thought I'd give it a go. They cost me around £4-5, which, believe it or not, was half price. The strips themselves smelt nice, and the instructions were...

Veet Ready To Use Hair Removal Wax Strips - Sensitive Skin

Advantages: Smooth legs, good for money, good for sensitive skin, easy, not THAT painful
Disadvantages: doesn't get rid of those tiny, stubborn hairs! not enough strips

...As most women, I hate the hassle of shaving my legs all the time to find that they're already prickly the next day and as I'm going on holiday in less than a week, I wanted something that would last longer, so, I bought some Veet Wax Strips! I've suffered from eczema all my life and it's dyed down however my skin is still sensitive so I bought the pack especially for Sensitive Skin. I sat down, gulped some wine, warmed the wax strip up like instructed and put it on my leg. When I came to pull it off I was too hesitant and slow so it was completely ineffective! So, I tried again and pulled off the waxstrip quickly! I must admit it was a little painful to begin with but after repeating it over and over again, it got easier (the ankles are a little more sensitive!) and if you actually watch television at the same time, I found it hurt...

Review of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

Wax on, wax off...

Advantages: Ensures slower regrowth.
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of practice to ensure best results.

...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 (yellow pack), though they may be used on other parts 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. Normally, if you have not waxed before, it is best to start waxing...

An Easy And Mess Free Way To Wax Your Legs!

Advantages: Easy to use and effective
Disadvantages: A little pricey if you use them all the time, need more finishing wipes!

...off. This is ready to use wax and there is no heating it up, it is so simple and easy to use. The strips are organised so that two strips are stuck together (wax side to wax side) but are easy enough to pull apart. It is designed so that there will be no wax leaking or exposed wax. I think it is quite clever and economic that they are packaged in this way, but if you only want to use one strip (for some reason) then you would either just have to use the other strip, or throw it away.. or put it in a cupboard face up so that nothing would get stuck on it! The wax is really sticky so you have to be quite careful not to touch the actual wax as you are pulling them apart or applying them to your skin. Each strip is about 20cm long and 10 cm wide. The wax doesn't go all the way to the edges so there is room for you to grab hold of the end...

DEFINITELY NOT WAXING LYRICAL

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

...Waxing Lyrical. But Not About This!!! Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips. For Dry Skin. Introduction Let me be clear about one thing before we get started with this review. I don?t think women should feel obliged to be smooth all over and as hair free as a ? well? a hair free person is. The world we live in operates in such a way as to make us feel we need to be a certain way, and in order to get us to that certain state of ?normal?, we have to spend our pennies on the things that the world (or the money making machine) wants us to. This lines the pockets of businessmen who thing that happiness can be bought and who continue to think up new things that they can convince us we need in order to achieve a similar state of ?happiness?. Ladies, let me be clear, happiness is not a smooth leg or underarm. It is not to be found in...

Review of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

*RIIIIIIP!!!!!!!!!* (re-eddited of wax strips)

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Barely work!

...I decided to try wax strips for a holiday for a week, and i didn't want to bother with having to take shaving gear. So, I trecked to Boots and looked through all the wax strips, and I chose the single use waxing strips- "Easy to use precpated strips for easy hair removal. Leaves skin soft and smooth for up to 6 weeks." Let's just say I didn't believe that statement!! For these strips to have any effect at all, you need to have some seriously long leg hair!! The pack says hair has to be a MINIMUM of 4mm. It makes no sense to use them because now, because now the summer's here (she says!), women will be going around with bare legs, and who's going to want to see hairy legs? It's really not worth letting your hairs grow to that long!Plus they take a while to grow anyway so it really is pointless. I was reduced to using the strips...
