I know a lot of women don’t want to
admit they have facial hair, as it is something that has been portrayed to be a
masculine thing. Alright it is not pretty to see a woman walking around with a
beard but were all human and we ALL have facial hair, some more then others but
it is there.
I will be the first to admit that I have facial hair,
but like a lot of women I don’t want to
brave it to go into a beauty spa or anything like that for a lip wax. I prefer
to find products that work for me at home. The main reason for this is because
for starters your skin where it is waxed goes bright red. So instead of
sporting a little bit of lip hair you walk out with a red mo- I don't know whats worse a hairy mo or a red one...
Two products I have found to work for me are both from
Veet and can all be found at your supermarket.
The first of the two is:
Veet
Face EasyGrip Ready to use wax strips RRP- $9.99
The pack comes with 20 strips of wax that have a
really pleasant smell.
I usually have a stash of little wax strips hidden
under the bathroom sink for use when Matt is not home (hidden right behind my
bubble bath where I know he wont go!) He knows I maintain my lip hairs, and
even though they are light and you can barely see them I hate knowing they are
there- and I certainly don’t like him
knowing when I wax. It is not because I am ashamed but for the fear he’ll come in a
take a photo to post as a joke to the Facebook world… And even
though I know I will get my revenge big time I just don’t want any
evidence available of this on-going haha.
The strips are a perfect size to get them sensitive
spots such as your upper lip, bikini area and even under your arms. I don’t use these
under my arms as I am WAAAAYYY to scared to apply any type of wax there. But I
do use it on my face and also my bikini line. It is super gentle and yet
effectively removes the hair first time.. Well you will get the occasional hair
down on your bikini line that wont budge but that is because it is much thicker
hair.
We went away camping and these bad boys came with me
just incase hair showed up or there were places I had missed.. And I know this
is not what they are meant for, but they also helped me get a painful splinter
out of my foot J
The second product is:
NEW
Veet Face Precision Wax and Care Wand RRP- $15.99
Also containing 20 strips of re-usable fabric and a
double-ended pen, which contains the pink wax and also an after treatment cream
at the other end.
Personally my experience with wands has not been the
best, as there was this one time I almost took my entire brow off- literally
got left with pencil line thin brows. It would have been the second time ever
using a pen or wand and I applied to much wax to my brow. So when I went to rub
the strip on the wax would have been pressed up into my brow and took off way
more then I intended. So this was the first time doing my own brows with wax
since this incident.
This time around I only used a minimal amount so there
was not too much residual happening, applied the strip and ripped.. Now I am
usually have a great pain threshold but there is something about my area that
gets me tearing up every single bloody time. I have no idea why either, I know
the pain I am up for yet I sook like a baby wanting milk it is horrible!!
The end result of this wax though was very different
to that of my first and I was actually impressed with what I had achieved. My
brows weren’t hairy or needing re-shape but more just a little bit of a tidy up and
this wax worked great. The wand is so easy to maneuver around the brow with
accuracy.
Love it and will continue to use.
In my hot little hands I also have the sensitive hair
removal cream, which you will more then likely be seeing on the blog is all
goes well.
