VEET Wax Strips

VEET Wax Strips

I received the VEET® Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for Legs & Body in the 2012 Latina VoxBox that was sent to me by Influenster (www.Influenster.com) earlier in August.  The product was complimentary to test and review.  The product information/review page on the Influenster website states the following about the wax strips:   The strips are specially formulated to remove hair on legs, underarms and bikini area from closer to the root than shaving for smoothness that lasts up to 4 weeks. 

This is the product description from the Veet website:  VEET® introduces wax strips with HairCoating Technology for perfect results that last. VEET® has specially formulated these wax strips to act like a liquid during application, coating different lengths of hair, even those as short as 2mm. When you remove the strip, the wax locks the hair – for effective hair removal. Suitable for use on your legs, underarm and bikini area. VEET® can give you perfectly smooth skin for weeks longer than shaving.

The wax strips are really easy use and there is virtually no preparation time. You just have to have the time to warm the wax by rubbing it in between both hands (kinda like in the original Karate Kid when Mr. Miyagi rubs his hands together when preparing to heal Daniels leg at the final tournament...ok, I'm dating myself now) and the time to apply it. 

Steps involved in using properly:
1.)  You just have to warm the wax by rubbing it between your hands for about 5 seconds
2.)  Peal the two sides of the strip apart in preparation to apply to area
3.)  Apply to the legs, underarms or bikini area in the direction of hair growth. 
4.)  You then pull if off in one fast motion. 
5.)  After waxing, remove any excess wax with the Perfect Finish Wipe that is provided. 

The package includes 40 full size wax strips and 6 finishing wipes.

I personally found these wax strips to be very effective.  My skin can be sensitive, but they did not irritate my skin enough to keep me from using again.  There was some redness, but it went away quickly.  I would suggest that if you have super sensitive skin, then you may want to test it on a small area of your skin first.  They are so super easy to use and do not take up a lot of your time.  The packaging was easy to handle.  Pricing is right on with what I think a in-home wax product of this caliber should cost.  I definitely will recommend to my family and friends.  

You can buy VEET® Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for Legs & Body at Walgreens, Target, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart!  For a full list of products, visit http://www.veet.us/.  The suggested retail price is $9.99.
