Today I'll be reviewing the Veet Face Wax Strips. I got these because I'm inclined to get so dark hairs at the edge of my upper lip and I have lots of blonde hairs on the rest of my upper lip and they're really noticeable when I apply makeup. My boyfriend's mother recommended them to me (I know that's a bit weird).
Price: €7.29
What's in the box:
20 wax strips (in pairs)
4 perfect finish wipes (I really wish there were more of these)
These are pretty easy to use. Unlike the way they always show in the movies, You actually have to do it in 2 stages as the hair grows in different directions on either side of the philtrum (middle part of the upper lip). Unfortunately, this does mean that you have to do the painful part twice!!! It's not to painful though. It's just a brief stinging and it fades away quickly. Then you just use one of the handy wipes to remove any left over wax and it's done!
I kind of have a love hate relationship with these. On the one hand, they work really well, they're easy to use, they don't leave massive red marks on your face, the hairs take a few weeks to grow back and they're cheap. However I find when the hairs are growing back that I get a lot of spots from ingrown hairs. I am particularly prone to ingrown hairs though. From what I've heard, most people don't have this problem. I don't know if I just need to exfoliate my lip more often or what.
Overall I think they're good but watch out if you are prone to ingrown hairs like me. I might try the hair removal cream version and see how I react with that. If anyone has any suggestions for what to do about the ingrown hairs let me know!! I'm always looking for solutions!!!
Talk to you Thursday!!!
