Veet: Ready To Use Wax Strips

Veet: Ready-To-Use Wax Strips

Honestly there are very few beauty products that I try out that just completely and utterly disappoint me, but I am afraid to say that I have found one of those products. Veet’s Waxing Strips. Being a mom of an active two year old I am always on the lookout for a quick, long lasting shaving solution. Especially since we live in a very hot humid climate. Recently while I was watching TV I saw an ad for Veet Waxing Strips, being super excited by the thought of only having to wax my legs every 28 days or once a month made me rush right out to buy them on my next trip to Wal-Mart. Now being a somewhat practical woman I know that in all likely hood the strips really wouldn’t cut down my shave time to once a month but I was hoping for every other week at least. I purchased the box for $7.97 at Wal-Mart, not a bad price at all. Upon arriving home I made sure to wash my legs and get ready to start waxing! Lol.

After carefully reading the instructions I began by warming the waxing strips in my hands by rubbing them together for 10 to 15 seconds, separating the strips and applying them to my legs , making sure to rub the wax strips down in the direction that the hair grows. After waiting approximately 15 seconds I ripped the strips up my leg anddd….. 60% or more of the hair was still left on my leg. Thinking that perhaps I had done something wrong I went back and tried again, sigh…. And low and behold the hair was still on my legs. I can’t say that I was too shocked by the results. Over the years I have tried many different types of hair removal creams and waxing strips and found nothing works as well as a good old fashion razor and shaving cream. So all in all I would have to give this product a 1 star out of 5 and a guarantee that I will NOT be repurchasing this product.
