Hair Removal Method Review : Veet Wax Strips

veet wax strips

I am always, always in awe of the wonders of Veet as it did not fail me as I did a feat, and used it  30 minutes I jumped in my friend’s car to head out of town. 30 minutes before, I was freshly showered, all made up, and all giddy to go out of town when I realized – hey, I’d be wearing a bikini, and I wouldn’t want to look hairy!

So there, coincidentally, I saw a pack of Veet Wax Strips waiting for me in my mom’s beauty counter, as I whipped two sheets in a heartbeat – for in the past, my sister advised me to scrimp with only one sheet for both legs, but I felt it was inadequate for my needs. My hair’s really unnoticeable, but if I can see it, I don’t feel good. First, I rubbed both sides that were sticked together so that they’d be warm, as I “plastered” them on both legs. I love it that when I pulled the strip off my legs, I felt that the wax was very sticky like “crispy glue” that definitely got the hair out in one effortless pull. I did not have to repeat on one area whatsoever and just proceeded to wax, wax, until my legs were clean hair-less. Oh happy joy! Unlike the past brand that I have used, what I love Veet is that the wax is very sticky and pulls of unwanted hair easily. And I mean dead easily.

I also thought I wasted one strip for I could have used just one strip for both legs, as it does not lose its “waxing power” after waxing off unwanted hair on one leg unlike the past brand that I’ve used. I was just in too much of a hurry that I decided to use two at the same time, but I’d recommend only using one strip at first to test “its powers.”
 Waxing Tip : It’s always stressed to wax your legs after you shower, when you have soft skin and the hair’s pores are open, for easier removal.

    [...] Veet Wax Strips and after reading Sophia’s account, I just might give them a try. I have been using the epilator for the past couple of years and there are times when it hurts like a bitch. [...]

    I reckon I should grab myself a pack to try out, eh? I wasn’t particularly satisfied with the one from Beauty Formulas that I recently bought. I’m going to experiment on the Veet tube soon though. Can’t wait. XD

    This is weird. Why are most people saying it didn’t work AT ALL? Like it didn’t pull any hair at all. Probably they didn’t do it correctly?

    I used them tonight and it worked great on my legs. I also tried on my bikini area and it only pulled out a few longer hairs that were on the sides. I shaved a few days ago and then hair is really short and it didn’t grab it. I will let it get a little longer and then try again. As for the legs….PERFECT!
