Advantages: They seem simple and mess free

Disadvantages: Didn't remove my hairs

I've never been much of a fan of waxing since i tried it with hot wax when i was about sixteen. These appealed to me as the strips make it sound like it's quick and easy and mess free! Maybe it's my technique - as i say i'm not someone that waxes regularly - but i found these absolutely useless. I have really fine blonde hairs around my eyebrows and they are difficult to pluck as they are hard to spot unless you have to right light. Anyway i smoothed it on and followed all the instructions but when i pulled the strip off i don't think it had actually taken any of the hair with it but had left a nice red mark on my skin. I tried it on my upper lip and again found the same thing - i'm reluctant to try these again but if you are used to waxing and have a good technique perhaps you will have more luck than me!

Summary: Not a great product for waxing virgins!
