Nad's Facial Wax Strips

Scouring the shelf at our local pharmacy for the Nads eyebrow wand I couldn’t find it, the lovely sales assistant came over to tell me they no longer stock it. Waves of panic wash over me, what am I going to do now? I needed that wand like yesterday, these brows are seriously outta control. I then spotted a familiar looking white and green box with the NADS logo, I pick it up and read the box. ‘wax strips’ it read. Well I can make it work I thought and promptly made my way home to tidy myself up.

These wax strips sounded too good to be true, warm between your hands, peel apart, apply to desired area. Now I must confess I am a bit lazy when it comes to some beauty chores, the faster and easier the better, so I was already in love from that point.

I grabbed out two of the strips and the outsides look like two cotton strips with like a wax/plastic coating and feel quite strong. They are probably the size of your thumb and are rectangular shape. After I hold the strips between my palms for a few seconds I pull them apart and can see a very thin layer of green wax. Now this is where the fun began.. so with these strips being rectangular and my eyebrows slightly rounded I was so, so scared I was going to rip half my eyebrows off. But very careful and precise placing and it was perfect.

I pull the skin tight around my temple and rip the strip off and yus no pain! Just a quick burn and it’s all over. I examine the strip and notice even the teeny tiny blonde hairs have come out too, winning! A cold facecloth over my brows for a few minutes and there is not even any redness. I also love how these strips don’t even leave any sticky residue after your finished just super soft skin. I still have to pluck a few strays from really close to my brows but this only takes a few seconds and it’s something I normally have to do anyway.

Overall I’m really impressed with these strips and I will continue to purchase them over the eyebrow wand they are more convenient, quicker and actually do a better job.

I reckon these are super convenient for eyebrows / upper lip. I like a product that requires no prep so quick touch ups in the morning are hassle free! Waxing is never fun, but these wee beauts make it a helluva lot more convenient.

Love it! They are perfect size for the eyebrows, even if its just a tidy up! They are quick and easy to use with no mess! Just rub it between ya hands to soften the wax then use it and voila your done!

I've been using these for a while for my monobrow... I find it works quite well at getting what I need off. It does leave a little residue, as a result I use it before I have a shower and it easily washes off.

I picked these up just before Christmas because I had forgotten to book in with my beauty therapist beforehand and my moustache was getting out of control. In my opinion getting your top lip waxed is the most ouchy area on your body and I wasn't really looking forward to trying to do it myself. The strips are stuck together and you just need to warm them between your hands so you can pull them apart. Then I applied one to my face and waited a minute or so. Then I pulled it off in the way the directions advised and while it hurt it was literally only when I was pulling it off that it did hurt. I did two strips on each side and after that there were all but three hairs left on each side which I just tweezed out. Then I used the one of the calming oil wipes and it soothed my skin and removed all traces of the wax from my face. It was so easy that I'm going to keep doing this myself at home. I'm a total convert!

These were the first facial wax strips I have used, I used it on my upper lip, did a reasonable job, there were some hairs left after the first application, but with repeated tries it was all gone.

I found this product really easy to use and effective. All you need to do is rub it between your hands and apply it to your skin. Easy! Does leave a sticky residue sometimes but it cleans off pretty quickly with the wipes included in the pack. I have semi-sensitive skin and this product didn't cause any side effects.

I have used this product a few times on upper lip removal. Does a good job with the hair but does leave a sticky residue around the outer edges. It's okay as far as wax strips go but not my favourite. I would recommend using these up quickly as they get a bit mushy and weird after a while.

This was the first product I ever used for my upper lip and I did really think it worked but I have naturally strong hairs and so some areas didn't work as well as others but overall a really good prosuct

I really like these. Easy to use, the small double sidded strips are great on my 'tache. I find that you can apply, remove and reuse the same strip for a couple of times on one side, as long as it is still warm. Useful, as they don't remove everything in one go. I do think that they need to add more wioes, maybe as many as there is strips?
