Veet Wax


Hi,

Today's post is all about the wax products of Veet. Femke waxes her legs every month and she wanna tell you her experiences with Veet. First she would like to say to all the girls who never tried wax before that it's not as painfull as everyone says. It hurts a bit, but Femke thinks that the pain is tolerable. So you really should try using wax, because your legs feel super soft, even softer than when you shave your legs every day. Okay, her legs doesn't stay this soft whole month, actually only 2 weeks. So if your want to you can wax your legs every 2 weeks. But when you wax your legs the hairs will come back less thick and dark(when you shave your legs they will come back thicker and darker), so Femke doesn't mind the little, almost invisible, hairs the other 2 weeks. But after a month it will be time to wax them again.

First Femke started using these wax strips. A friend recommended this to her. It's very easy to use: you just have to warm the strip(Femke even skipped this stap many times and it still worked pretty good) in your hands and then pull the strip apart, so you have 2 stips. Than you just have to put it on you leg with the hairs along, wait a bit and pull it of against the grain. Your legs will feel super soft and the hairs will all be gone. And you can use one strip 3 times. But the reason why Femke started using another product is that it's very hard to wax every single place of your legs, because the wax is already on the strip. Well, it sounds a bit weird what Femke is telling you now, but try it and you will agree with her.





So Femke searched for something else and she decided to buy this oriental wax. It's a jar with wax in that you have to warm up in your microwave. It's still easy to use. You warm the jar up in the microwave and with the little spatula that comes with the wax you can see if it's warm enough. Of course it can't be to warm, you don't wanna burn yourself! When you have the right temperature you put some wax on your legs with the hairs along. It's very hard to use the right quantity of wax, but try to use as less possible. Than put the strip you bought separately on the wax, again wait a bit and pull the strip of against the grain. The negative thing about this product is that everywhere will be wax, even if you did your best to be as neatly as possible. So Femke tried something else, because she was tired of cleaning the wax every month. 




Than she decided to buy this electrical roll-on. It wasn't expensive at all, but you do have to buy every time new stips and a new wax refill. But that will cost you the same as when you use the other products. She finally found the wax product she likes! It's very easy, as all the products. You have to warm the elctrical roll-on for like 20 minuts and it will never be to hot, than roll it on your legs with the hairs along(the first time you roll it it will be a bit hard and painfull, because you have to press very hard on your legs, but afterwards it will go easy), put a stip on, wait a bit and pull the strip of against the grain. You will never have a place left with still hairs one like with the wax strips and your there won't be wax everywhere like with the oriental wax in the jar. So Femke is super happy she bought this electrical roll-on!





Femke still has one important thing to say about the electrical roll-on. The first time her wax refill was empty she though she could still use some of the leftovers. So she warmed it up and tried to roll it on her leg, but there only came of just a bit wax and not enough to get it of your legs with a stip. So she had this light pink streak on her leg. Her leg was very irritaded and hurting, because she tried so hard to get it of with some almond oil(that's the only product that get's wax leftovers of your legs by the way), but this streak stayed. She decided to wait till the new wax refill was warmed and she though it would get of when she would put some new wax on it. 20 minuts later she did a new wax layer over this pink streak. It hurted very bad... And when she got of this wax the pink streak was still there! She was really freaking out. But it wasn't sticky or something, so the only thing she could do was leave it on her leg. This streak hurted one whole week when you touched it and it stayed one week very pink. After that week the streak on Femke's leg was very dry and was peeling very hard. She put every day some Nivea cream on it. And after 2 weeks doing that she got her leg normal again. Femke just wanna warn you, never leave wax on your legs! We don't wanna scare you, because this really wouldn't happen when you use your wax the right way.

We hope we could help you out with picking the right waxing product. And with using it the right way. Of course you don't have to buy something of Veet. But Femke only has experiences with Veet, it's cheap and good, so she doesn't wanna try something else.

xoxo
Maia & Femke
