“HOW EMBARRASSING”
Written on: 22/11/2012
HOW EMBARRASSING So being 36 weeks pregnant and knowing that I would need to be clean shaven "down there" for my cesarean I decided to try my hair removal options and bought the Veet "Easy-Grip-Ready-To-Use" Wax Strips. I figured if I could combine this method with shaving, I wouldn't have to worry so much about regrowth once baby was born. So I boldly went where many unfortunate people have gone before me. I positioned a mirror in front of a chair and placed myself and my huge belly... (read more)

I just used this 10 minutes ago, after buying it today, and I am SO mad!!! I have used wax strips before and I KNOW how to use them. I used these after paying almost TWENTY dollars for them, and there is NOT ONE PART of my leg that is hair free! It took 10 strips to do not even half of one of my shins! There are little hairs EVERYWHERE, and I know that my hair was longer than 1.5 mm when I used it. I am so angry, I am asking for refund tomorrow. Plus there are NOT enough of those perfect...

“Stash Wax”
Written on: 12/06/2012 by mAKeUpPIzAZ
The almond oil wax strips I have been using for a while now. They do get a lot of the hairs for sure, but sometimes the leave red strips where I waxed on my face for like two days !! The strips smell really good, and if technique is right they work well, but irritation afterwards can be rough. You really can't rub them for too long cuz the wax warms really easily, easier than other brands and that can really red-den up your face. Overall they do work well, but I will stick to nair strips.... (read more)

i used this on my upper lip, i was over paying money to get it done at the salon, then i see these and decide to start myself, i was shocked at how painful it was, it actually ripped off my skin, and that whole night it was so painful and i woke up the next morning and it was scabby and gross, and not only that all the hair was still there! the scab was so bad when i saw my friends they thought it was a big cold sore!

“RUBBISH!”
Written on: 22/04/2012
I decided to try waxing since my legs are very sensitive to shaving but I found these strips absolutely awful. I took the plunge after finding them half price at tesco, but even at this price they won't worth it. The pain wasn't a problem- it's just that they don't pick up any hair. Buying and using this product was a complete waste of time and money, neither of which I have a lot of. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. (read more)

Always shaved or used nair hair removal cream but thought would give the waxing a go as I was goin out at the weekend.

I got fed up of shaving like every few days then I seen the Veet wax strips advertised, I had a party coming up so I thought I would give them ago. So dissipointed! not only was they very painful but they did absoulty nothing for me, I was still left with patches of hair and all the sticky wax was left all over my legs. And also my legs were covered in a red bumpy rash and it took ages to heel so I couldn't wear a dress to the party. I would never use these wax strips again or recomend them,... (read more)

Written on: 03/11/2011 by malleat1
Love them! They work like charm, they remove between 99.9% - 90% of the hair depending on its length... I'm glad most of the commentators on here stated that it is their first time use... so it is surely incorrect use of them! I normally leave them for 20 seconds on the heater until they melt SLIGHTLY... and then place on my skin, rub with my hands strongly for 5-10 seconds and then pull very quickly to the opposite side... (some people think they are doing that, but in fact they are... (read more)

“Wax stuck to my leg and took hours to get off!”
Written on: 28/09/2011
OH MY GOD! So I used the veet wax strips just like I've used any others in the past, I did not keep them on for too long, I ripped them off in the right direction and quickly. The first two I pulled off left all of the pink gooey wax on my leg, I just asumed maybe it was a dodgey strip, so I put the next two on, and the same happend. I don't just mean a tiny bit of wax around the courners, I mean literally the entire strip of wax had transferred onto my leg instead of staying on the strip... (read more)
“Veet Facial Wax Strips.....strips cash, not hair!”
Written on: 25/07/2011 by MadameFifi (1 review written)
Never bought any waxing items before so thought I'd give these a go. Braced myself for pain as I pulled off my top lip...a lollipop would remove more hair; it pulled off absoloutely nothing. Thank goodness they supply a few 'finishing wipes' because it took ages to remove the sticky gloop that it left on my top lip! The strips are the same consistency as a sticky sweet your kids have left in a hot car. Rubbish! (read more)

“Waste of Time and Money”
Written on: 22/07/2011 by richtera90
The wax strips seemed like a good idea at the time, I wanted to wax my legs so they would be smooth for summer. It takes such a long time try and wax legs so I thought these would help. The wax strips remove about half the hair, leaving patches. The next day I looked at my legs, I had bumps everywhere, even the hairs that were not removed were all bumpy and red. Three days later I still had some bumps and redness left. The only part I liked about the product were the finishing wipes, they... (read more)
“Terrible”
Written on: 13/07/2011
So the first strip I used worked okay-ish. The wax strips took off hair, yes. But only in patches. I tried them on my legs and the only place they would sort of work was my calves. Also tried on my bikini area and some hair was removed, definitely not enough. Barely any, actually. Then I tried my armpits and yet again SOME hair came off but not all. Not even half. After I gave up trying, I used the wipes to get the wax off, and that didnt get it off. Then I took a shower to scrub the wax off... (read more)

I used this product and at first I thought I would use it again...that's until I woke up the next morning with a giant burn on the side of my face! I'm stressed out on whether or not this will leave a scar on my face. IF THE HAIR DOESNT COME OFF THE FIRST TIME DO NOT...I REPEAT...DO NOT APPLY AND TRY TO PULL OF ANOTHER STRIP TO THE SAME AREA. Save yourself the drama. DONT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. ...I regret it now for purchasing. (read more)

“Wipes Ineffective”
Written on: 01/07/2011 by drm6484 (1 review written)
For me, the strips did work somewhat, but I have yet to find a wax product that completely removes all of the hair from the area. My main problem was with the wipes that come in the box. For one thing, there are only 4. Now, if you use a LOT of the strips at once, you could get away with only that many wipes...IF THEY ACTUALLY WORKED! This product is very sticky, and the wipes are meant to remove excess wax left over. But even using multiple wipes after using ONE strip didn't get all the wax... (read more)

this product is really good. I place the wax strips on a heater for a few seconds and rub it well so the wax on both strips are even. And i split the amount of strips apart that i think im gona need. So they are ready for me to use one after the other. Believe me ths even helps with the pain. I thnk ppl dnt pull the strip off quick and hard enough. Thats why it gets messy. It mite be painful the first two times but its really worth it when done properly. TIP - dont let your hand touch the... (read more)

I then found that it left my legs dry and cracked. which they still are after 4 1/2 weeks! this is suck a bad product I don't see why shaving is a problem any more..however, they do work on men as I found this during a charity leg wax :) so I guess that you have to have really long thick hair...

for best result when waxing skin should be oil free, of natural skin oil...its a good idea to buy hive pre wax treatment which removes any oil or products from the area to be waxed. Also use baby powder to prevent the wax from sticking to your skin. Always make sure you apply the strips in the direction of the hair growth and pull in the opposite direction. (up for lower legs)

I am really aggravated over this product! It did NOTHING for my legs, and I followed all of the directions and recommendations for using this product which is why I was very confused after I used 4 wax strips and absolutely nothing came off! I will never use this product again, or any other product made by Veet. That was the worst $10 I have ever spent! I wish I would have read the reviews before buying this, but after seeing it advertised on TV I was excited so I went the next day and... (read more)

TERRIBLE!!! I used the facial strips to wax my upper lip over a month ago and I STILL have brown discolorations exactly where the strips were placed. It looks like a shadow or bruising. And to top it off, the strips didn't remove the hair. I have used other drug store waxes and have never experienced a problem like this. There are other great waxes on the market that are inexpensive and effective--this is not worth your time, your money, or your skin. (read more)

DO NOT BUY THESE.
I am extremely disappointed and angry with Veet ready to use bikini and wax strips. They simply do not work. The wax did not grip the hairs and when the strip was pulled off, no hairs stuck to it and were pulled out. Now i am left with a horrible uncomfortable sticky mess under my armpits and have just tried to wash it off with facewash, facescrub, shower cream, and shampoo. None of which has got it all off so now my armpits are sticking together and i will have to try...

Written on: 14/01/2011
I didn't like this product very much. I just waxed my shins to see how these strips would work, and i still have hair all over my legs. I followed the instructions to the TEE and the results were very inconsistent. In some places all the hair was gone and in other places all the hair remained, even if I was using a brand new strip. The pain didn't bother me at all. I would almost rather go pay to have this done at a salon than waste my time and money on something that's ineffective. (read more)

I mean this product is definitely usable, and is able to remove major part of hair. And the fact that the strips come pre-waxed is an advantage. I have sensitive skin, so when I used this on my legs, I got big red bumps on my hair. The prewax spray doesn't really work, but I like the after-wax wipes that clean your skin of any stickiness.
However, I think I like the traditional microwavable wax better, since the amount of wax strips are not limited, and I can use as much or as little as...

I used these strips and the results are horrible. I used them on my underarms and they did not get rid of any hair, at all. In the end I was left with sticky, gooey wax and had to use all of the wipes to get it off. If you ran out of wipes, the best thing to do is to use baby oil to get rid of the wax. baby oil can get rid off the wax residue if you ran out of wipes. (read more)

This stuff is awful!
I used it for my bikini line and followed the instructions perfectly. It removed about 10% of the hair and left me with bruises and sticky wax stuff that the wipes didn't get rid of properly.
The reason I wanted to wax is because cream and shaving irritate my skin, but this has left me red and bruised, which is far more unsightly than the rashes I was trying to avoid.
