veet easy wax electrical roll on

I found The instructions were easy to follow, however, the device definitely takes longer than 20 minutes to warm up to the desired heat for easy application, I'd say it took closer to 35 or 40 minutes and to keep it at a good consistency I found it best to keep it plugged in, kind of defeats the portable aspect. I liked that the finishing wipes actually do take the leftover wax off and you don't get a sticky residue. Mixed results but overall a good product. Would like more wax strips in the pack though.

Tips: Shower first to open up hair follicles and pull skin tight when removing wax strips. Allow plenty of time to get it up to temperature.

Needs some improvement...

I haven't waxed in a while, so I was looking forward to trying this. The packaging and device is nice. Light and fits easily in my hands. I didn't know how to store it once I was done! I don't want to leave it out, especially when I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter who loves to play with everything! I am keeping it in the box itself to keep everything tidy, but that will last long!

The instructions are easy to follow and the process is straightforward. The box instructions say to leave it to heat for 20-30 mins. But, the website says to leave it to heat for 30-40 mins! What's with the difference?! Consistency please! 20 mins isn't long enough, even 30 minutes wasn't that great. I found the best way to get a smooth, even application was to leave it for 40 mins. The wax cooled too quickly, I had to plug it back in multiple times. I found it best to leave it plugged in while using it, or unplug it, apply the wax and then plug it back in until the next use. But this defeats the point of using the device cordless!

I thought I could reuse the strips a couple of times before having to apply more wax. But no, you have to apply wax every time. That didn't bother me, but I don't think the cartridge will last 3-4 sessions. I used 2 strips for each leg, that's ok. It took me about 15-20 mins to wax each leg, but with more practice (and no nosey kiddies) I could do it in 10mins easy.

I waxed one leg before I showered and the other after a shower (both were clean with no product). I recommend waxing after a shower for better results. All the hair came out no problem, some hairs were left behind on the leg I waxed before I showered. I did have residue on both legs but that was easily removed with the Perfect Finish Wipes.

I found the pain of waxing my legs bearable. My skin did go red and I got little bumps straight away, but it went away fast. I need to note that I am pregnant and the instructions do state that if you are pregnant, using this product could cause bruising. I didn't bruise, (thank goodness) but this might've contributed to my skins reaction.

The wax is pink, pleasantly scented and any residue is easily removed. There aren't enough finish wipes for 3-4 sessions as you only get 4 and I used 2 in one session. But you could always use baby oil and a cotton square. If using 2 strips per leg you could get 3 sessions of use, but I will have to see if the wax cartridge will go that distance. This product retails for $39.99. A really decent price I think as you will get a few uses out of it.

I'm sitting on the fence. I like the concept, it is quick and easy to use, fairly priced, it doesn't smell bad and removes hair really well. On the downside, I think it needs more strips and wipes, 40 mins is a long time to wait to start waxing, the wax cools to fast and there needs to be a better way to store the device. But I think I need to wax a few more times to really see if I would buy a refill.

Tips: Let the device heat for 40mins on the first use (go have a shower, eat and tidy up while it's heating!). If needed, leave it plugged in for an even better application. I am hoping that it will take less time to heat for each session as there will be less wax.

Veet easy wax - mess free

I thought this was a good alternative to salon waxing - the wax stayed warm during the whole treatement and it was a mess free experience that removed the leg hair as you would expect. This was no more painful that salon waxing and was easy to self use in your own home so as said this is a good alternative to salon waxing. I hope additional woven strips can be purchased for continued use as 12 wasnt really enough to do it more than once.

Tips: its always hard to not miss bits on the back of your legs!

SUPERB!

I had the pleasure of trailing the Veet EasyWas Electrical Roll on. I found it amazing! It was incredibly easy to use, especially with 2 sets of instructions. It maintained the wax at the right temperature as it said it would. It provided an even application ( another thing it said it does ) and it was a nice and thin layer but effective. I found it perfect on my sensitive skin and my legs have stayed silky smooth. Waxing was not as painful as I expected. Only part I found it more painful was as I was getting close to scar tissue on my leg. I do highly recommend this product!

EasyWax

I followed the instructions carefully but found that the wax was difficult to apply. It was still too thick so I needed to leave the wax to sit in the heating device 30-45 mins longer, if you were to achieve a easier application of the wax to the desired area. I still use it because it's cost effective.

Veet EasyWax Roll on

The instructions are very easy to follow, however, the device takes longer than the 20 minutes to warm up to the desired heat, took 40 minutes and when I was applying the wax, I had to push down very hard, which was sore to do. The wax came out in thick or thin patches. After I had waxed my legs there were still hairs left so had to re-do it to get the hairs out which left my skin red and stinging so is abit painful. Also was hard to do the back of my legs by myself. There isn't many wax strips in the package, but the finishing wipes do take the leftover wax off.

Tips: allow plenty of time to do this as the device takes more than 20mins to heat. make sure to hold your skin taut when your pulling of the wax strips.

Tricky to use

I found this hard to use. It's difficult to get the roller started & putting the wax out. The instructions said it takes 20 minutes to heat up but it's more like 40 mins. It definitely removes hair but i felt it hurts more than normal hot wax & took more of my skin off than others also. The wax strips are not washable as the wax does not wash off in water & I am yet to find replacement strips. Not really a fan.

Does the job, takes longer than expected, hassle

I was really excited to try this product! As someone with extremely sensitive skin, shaving often leaves me with a bumpy rash no matter the sharpness of the razor or which shaving cream I use. But regular salon waxing can be so expensive. However this product is a bit of a let down from the beginning. The product suggested 20 minutes to heat up to the desired heat but mine certainly took longer- more like 30-40 minutes: I wouldn't be using this product in a rush! Eventually once it was heated up, I got started. The short story is- yes the product works. The wax is a little hard to work with but relatively smooth and as far as pulling hairs out of your legs, it was relatively painless. However, despite the hair being the suggested length, I did have to redo some parts to get it completely hairless; and I have quite thin and sparse hair on my legs. Therefore, it took quite a long time to do the whole leg which started to get a bit painful and tiresome; and with two legs to do I was over it pretty fast. Your skin is likely to be a bit red and tender after- I only got a few ingrown looking hairs which is a plus. However as far as recommending it to a friend? Purchasing again? It is unlikely. No one likes a product which promises one thing (20 minutes) and doesn't deliver. Furthermore, my hair is relatively thin and sparse so I am not sure how well this product would work for people who have a lot more hair to remove. Considering that the product is a bit of an investment to start with and then the refills aren't cheap, I would probably not want to continue using it

Tips: If you are a regular salon waxer, perhaps the money you will save with this will be worth it. However, shavers will find the hassle is not worth it comparative to the results. Also note the results are meant to 'last up to 4 weeks' meaning 4 weeks is probably the maximum. I would estimate only 2 weeks tops but that will differ for everyone

first time using wax

Easy to assembled . Basically its plug in and heat.which is great .which means you can take it anywhere.it took longer than the 20 mins to heat.you can tell because it wouldn't glide on .it felt like it was ripping my skin.i did my legs first and that was pretty easy .but not going to lie it did hurt but after carrying on I got kind of use to it .I did end up with a bit of redness ( i dont have sensitive skin ) and you get some depilatory wipes to wipe off the wax I then put aloe Vera after to soothe.which helped alot.you really need to make sure you have good length hairs at least 2 -5 mm long .I had some strays that werent long enough to get.but can do when they grow longer.i tried doing my armpits hairs by myself ,I struggled big time to do myself .I had to get help with putting the wax on and also pulling the strip off. which was way better for me.but this hurt so bad I screamed and had the toe curl up of pain.but it did work !! It does feel smooth and knowing its going to be at least 4 weeks before I have to do any waxing or shaving.i dont think id do my under arms again.but id be inclined to do my legs again ! I was able to use the strips over and over a few times which is great as it only comes with 12.Loving idea again that its going to be aleast 4weeks till I have to maintain my legs I did find the the wax cooled down to quick for me says the temperature wil be maintained for 15 mins .(I may have been to slow maybe ) so I started to wax keeping it pluged it which it says you can do.big bonus.now that ive tried waxing im giving it the thumbs up .

Tips: Definitely read the instructions!! Skins must be clean and dry.free from creams and oils Do not use on varicose veins ,scars,moles or broken ,irritated, sun burnt skin Mite need help with armpits

Pros and Cons.

I was so excited to trial this product, I haven't shaved or waxed since being selected for the trial, and my hair wasn't probably as long as I would have liked for this to be as effective as my normal at home waxing. Firstly I love the packaging (I'm a sucker for anything pink and it looks nice in my bathroom). It can sit on my vanity in it's little holder and there are no messy cords as you have to plug it in. I like concept of this product, and the main thing that appealed to me was the fact that you pop in a nice neat wax cartridge and can plug it in to heat up without having to keep testing it. It does take longer than the 20 minutes specified on the leaflet, it said to leave it a further 5 mins but I went away and forgot about it for another half hour. The great thing was this didn't make it too hot. I rolled it onto my legs and the coverage was perfect and even it made my earlier forays into waxing with a pot and a kitchen knife seem like a joke. The strips provided confused me; I have always used cotton strips and I wasn't sure if these could be reused or not. I found the Veet EasyWax was perfect for doing my legs but doing my underarms and bikini line was a completely different story. I applied the layer of wax and the strips but it only took off half of the hair - i reapplied and tried again but not much more effective. The leftover wax was very hard to remove from my skin and I had a real struggle using the back of the strips to try and remove the residue.

Pros: 1) This did an awesome job on my legs and for this reason alone I love the EasyWax Roll On. No hassles with messy pots of wax and trying to get the temp just right, and no spreading it on with spatulas or knives. 2) Nice neat applicator, really easy to use. 3) No waste it delivers just the right amount of product.

Cons: 1) I much prefer a water soluble wax as it's easier to clean up underarms and bikini lines in the shower afterwards. 2) the strips aren't re-usable and there weren't enough. 3) it's not a quick process if you want a quick wax in half an hour; it takes a while to warm the wax enough and it's quite a chore to get all the residue off afterwards.

I will continue to use this as I love it for my legs, and will just use my old method for bikini line and underarms. For me this was better on fine leg hairs.

Tips: Allow yourself plenty of time and make sure you have plenty of strips for removing the wax. I still give this an 8/10 as the pros outweigh the cons. P.S. It didn't even hurt !! I have a high pain threshold and have been waxing for years.
