Veet Warm Wax Review

Wanting to wax my legs for a cheaper price than going to a salon, I bought this. I heated to the right temp, checked it with the application wand thing and got to work. I applied the wax and then the strips, pulled aaaaand basically nothing! Most of the hairs I was aiming to get rid of were still there. I was super disappointed, but I tried again. Aaaand again. And again. Still, did not work for me! I applied it exactly as the instructions said (albeit slightly more messily) to no avail. However, the instructions were simple and easy to understand and follow and the wax had a nice smell and good consistency. Don't think I'll use it again, but maybe my leg hairs just didn't like it!

I bought this when I first started waxing my legs and under arms and wanted a cheaper option than going to the salon. It's a long, messy process but the wax does work.

I find I have to heat it up for longer than stated, but the indicator on the spatula is a pretty good indicator of when the wax is ready. To have a good result, you have to spread it on quite thinly and evenly, which is not easy! It does remove the hair quite well when applied properly.

The reusable strips are great and cost effective, but I do find that the hairs get stuck in the fibre and don't come out so the strips are never as clean as new.

The smell is quite weird, but not many waxes smell good! This is a much cheaper alternative to going to the salon, I find using this on my legs too much of a mission but still use it under my arms.

I used this a few times to save money on eyebrow waxing and it worked so-so. It was quite messy and being a novice, it didn't pick up the hairs all of the time. What turned this product into a nightmare was when I took it out of the microwave and dropped it (it was crazy hot) scalding my finger! Cut to an hour later with second degree burns. While some of this is obviously my fault, I just don't think I could trust a product like this again especially when it didn't work amazingly from the start. Pass.

Okay, well this wasn't a very pleasant experience. Let's just say I won't do this again by myself.

The first few strips, that I used and applied on the wax worked okay, but then as I did more and more it got more and more messy. It was sticky everywhere and water doesn't really help to remove it. I have to use coconut oil to remove it, which helped slightly.

I definetly wouldn't do this again at home, i would rather spend a bit more money and get it done professionally

Hair removal has been the frustration of my life from the time I hit high school. I've tried most things from razors to cream to waxing in its various forms. I am now settled on hot wax with fabric strips for the DIY of choice. Hot wax is less painful than cool wax because it opens the pores to release the hair more easily. I have found veet wax great to use. It's also got a pleasant fragrance. I like the fact that it comes with the fabric strips and the spatula that can test temparture of the wax. This wax is cost effective and it makes it possible for those who can't afford to go to the beauty therapist, to have smooth hairless skin for longer.

So I had a bit of trouble with this start with. I overheated it and had to wait quite a while for it to cool down. I applied it in small sections to my leg and managed to remove quite a bit of hair but also found it left some behind, so would have to do the same spot three or four times, and even then it didn't pick up all the hair. It took soooo long to get through one leg (which was still covered in patches of hair) that I just gave up and did the other leg the next day. I got fed up with trying to remove every hair that I just ended up shaving to get rid of the strays. That was a about a week and half ago. Now I'm dealing with the waxed hairs growing back, and unfortunately a lot of them are ingrown, so my legs are quite sore and itchy. In the future I will stick to shaving - it may grow back quicker, but at least I don't get ingrown hairs when I shave.

I've tried a few differend brands and this is by far the best. It did take me a few goes to get it right, over heating, too much, not enough.it seriously hurt when you put it on and its so hot so check the tempreture of it first! The wooden thing to apply has a 'no' that shows up if it's to hot I like that idea! Only product I use....there now! Best by far

I thought this wax was great for a first timer. I have never used wax before so I just followed the intructions and I found it was easy to use. The spatula it comes with is handy, it has a temperature indictor on it to tell you whether the wax is too hot. I only waxed the lower half of my legs, I couldn't do my knees, they were too knobbly and I didn't have the patience to do my upper legs. It is quite time consuming and I had to do one leg per day because I ran out of strips the first day only managing to do one of my legs.

I used this on a friend's legs, and as long as the pot was kept hot, it was just fine. I only had an issue with the pot cooling to quickly so I had to keep getting up to zap it in the microwave, then waiting for it to cool a little so it wasn't too hot. Tedious process!
