Kids, Don’t Try this At Home. Or Ever.
It started out promising.I peeled the little pieces apart and stuck them on very carefully in neat rows and let them sit for a while, so my legs were basically covered in what looked like huge pink pads. On the box it says “no longer needs to be rubbed to warm up the wax” so I figured hey, it might work better if I really rub it on there because obviously at one point in their product’s lifespan, it needed heat. So I’m sitting on the bathroom floor rubbing my legs frantically to create friction because I can’t find a hairdryer nearby.After about eight minutes, I try to peel one off. Not only is it incredibly painful, it leaves a huge square of sticky pink goo on my leg. However, I did get like five pieces of hair out so I was like YES. IT’S (sort of) WORKING. OKAY-ISH. So then I was like, I must not have held my skin down hard enough like they tell you to on the box. With one hand I’m pinching my leg like a crab while twisting to pull with the other hand and ripped as hard as I could. The strip of wax flew out of my hand right into my forehead. (Wrong hairs!!!) I got it off fast enough that it only took half my scalp with it and created a temporary set of (pink, gooey) bangs for me to enjoy. This time I took a very hard look at how much hair it was taking off because ouch. Unfortunately not much, maybe ten hairs, and I still had only gotten two tiny patches of leg finished, so I gave up and ripped away until I had gotten all the pieces off. By this time my legs looked like they had been attacked by thousands of bees – literally covered in leftover pink goo and bits of hair that hadn’t been torn out, and wherever hair had been successfully removed, my skin was irritated, bumpy and splotchy. I hobbled into the shower to remove the pink goo and IT WOULD NOT REMOVE. I spent an hour and a half scrubbing wildly at my legs with a washcloth, scratching, soaping, razoring, soaking… that. stuff. is. intense. The ironic part is that the goo took bits of the washcloth with it, so the poor washcloth ended up denuded and my legs covered in blue cloth bits. In the end it was needless to use the wax strips to remove the hair because I’d practically removed my entire first layer of skin anyway in my attempt to remove the pink goo. I went to bed at 11 defeated and resigned, with pink blotches all over my legs like I was dying of some horrible disease. The upside was that my bedsheets were permanently glued to my legs all night so at least no one could steal the covers. This morning I tore the sheets off my legs and spent another hour and a half sitting on my bedroom floor scratching the goo off my legs before work. I’d prefer hairy legs to pink gooey legs any day.Never. Again.

It’s alright
It definitely does the job of removing the hair and is convenient because you don’t have to heat up the wax for the product to work. The problem is the wax sticks to whatever part you are waxing and it is extremely hard to come off once it’s on your skin. I had to shower twice to completely remove all the wax that was stuck to my skin. In addition when you pull the wax strips apart, the wax will often times stick to one piece of wax strip so instead of getting two uses out of it, you only get one.

Effective product but tricky to handle
Let me start by saying my my shipment was ridiculous. The box was squished and some of the contents were out of the box and in the bag. It’s also August and the weather is hot and humid. Why that’s important to clear the air… the product itself worked great. But a couple of the strips were so stuck together that when I pulled them apart, all the wax got stuck to 1 strip vs. being equally distributed over both. This made both of those strips un-usable because one didn’t have any wax and the other had too much which was not picking up any hair. This could be a result of sitting on shelf too long, getting squished in transit and/or the humidity in the air.The product itself works great, if you can wrangle the strips apart. Once separated, the strips tend to roll, and with the wax being so sticky, if you’re not careful, it may stick to itself.I’ve typically used glee brand gel(?) wax strips and these are more effective. More challenging to handle (but again maybe due to aforementioned circumstances) but definitely work better and less irritating to my sensitive skin. Glee I think uses all these extra nonsense additives like fragrance or additives to make the wax… prettier? If you know what you’re doing, veet is the better option. 1-2 pulls per strip and move on to the next one. Done. I plan on re-ordering.

I have been having my legs waxed at a salon for 35 years, but due to the Coronavirus lockdown, I thought I would try the easygel wax strips. This was my first ever home wax. They are excellent, & removed all of my leg hairs. A lot of reviews state that they do not remove many hairs, & the wax stays on your legs. As long as the strip is rubbed down on the leg for about 10 seconds, before pulling off, it works brilliantly. I also used the same strips twice. My legs are really smooth, with no irritation. The wipes are good at removing any residue, after waxing. I will probably use these strips after lockdown ends, as they are cheaper than salon prices!!

Worth of money because you have a doubled 20wax strips which makes a total of 40.

1. Smallish section strips supplied (would have been better to have had full calf length strips or an opportunity to by various sizes or even a mix)2. Residue left after application. This needs washing off before going out or going to bed. I used the strips before bed time and found 20 minutes of time needed in order to ‘scrub’ off the wax. It didn’t come off with just soap application or flannel use. I had to use a sponge with scrubbing back area in order to remove the various areas the wax decided to leave residue on.3. The strips need pulling apart from each other for application. I believe this lessens the wax ability as some strips may take wax from the other strip its attached to. You have to be very careful on pulling each strip from the other as it can catch your fingers or other (around or by you). When the strips are separated you need to put the other strip (not yet being used) carefully to one side (if you can get it away from your fingers if it somehow clings to you)4. Didn’t remove all hairs. Re-application and still hairs stayed. The instructions claim the strips can be used over a few times but to be honest once or twice used…..lose the strip and pull removal aspect – so hardly worth using if going in for more than a 2nd reapplication.5. Tried a strip on my arms and the hairs there are finer and after 2 days have not returned. On the legs, not a similar hoped for response. The legs have some hairs left and others gone and others starting to grow.Overall, a quite expensive hair removal that for me wasn’t ideal for removing leg hair (on the calf areas). The strips are too short. You need to remember where you applied the last strip when carrying on with hair removal. Time consuming, messy stick wax residue that was stubborn to shift. Not removed all hair, some remained. Did I correctly follow instructions…yes I did.I daresay will work for others (as the reviews show hence influencing the decision to purchase) but for me (and others) a result that wont see my returning to purchase.Back to the epilator or foam removal cream. Both these applications have drawbacks such as epilating can be a bit painful and Veet removal foam application can tend to burn a bit (whilst on and a bit after being showered off ). The good old fashioned razor sees to quick instant hair remover but hairs grow back stubbly and make your legs prickly. Going to a beautician is pricey!Lots of hair removal products on the market but thankfully I tend to get away with hair removal due to having blonde leg hair so until there is a method that doesn’t cause pain, burn or fast grow back or poor results then like the majority of us waiting for the right product to come on the market.
