Eyebrow Wax Strips, Painless Shaping Kit for Women (18 Ct)

These came in perfect condition. I was so tired of plucking my eyebrows, so I ordered these strips. The first one failed, but after reading the instructions some more, I tried again and it worked!! My hair is super thick and I only needed to use 2 for each eyebrow (one on top, one on bottom). I had flawlwss eyebrows until i ran out, but I'm going to order more!

Let me preface this by saying that I normally do my eyebrows at home with regular wax strips. I just cut them in half lengthwise, apply and pull. But these were special wax strips. They were not only less expensive, but meant to be easier to help you shave your eyebrows. They weren’t. They were two sticker sheets with two different size rectangles. Rectangles are not really conducive to shaping eyebrows. And the solution was so gentle in that they became unsticky extremely quickly. I also didn’t realize while I was using them that they were pulling up layers of skin. I did realize that they were leaving a lot of hair behind. The wax solution, was so gentle that I didn’t think anything was actually going on, and that it wouldn’t be a big deal to use multiple strips in the same area. I know, stupid me. I use almost a whole sheet of these stupid wax strips because they were so gentle. I didn’t realize the damage they were actually doing to my skin. I decided that I didn’t wanna go through too many and I did not want to aggravate my skin as my skin still felt fine. It was only after a while that I realized the damage that had been done. I never have issues with stubborn hair or hair being left behind when I wax. The strips left a lot of hair behind and some of my chapped areas and extremely dry Areas where I unknowingly over waxed there’s still a lot of hair. I think these products are a waste of time, a waste of money, and the formula is a very poor substitute for regular waxing. Especially as it leaves hair and takes skin strips with it. I’m hoping that my skin heals quickly so that I can remove the remaining hair without issue. I will never ever buy these strips again!

Easy to apply and they make my eyebrows look better than when I do it myself!

I've been through the whole salon hot waxing bit, and getting up close and personal with the mirror and tweezers. I thought I'd give these a try, but I was quite skeptical at first. Now I can't live without them! The most important part is that you clean your skin very well, I usually do it after my shower and after I put astringent on my face. You want to make sure your skin is clean, otherwise the strip is useless because it won't grip any hairs.

Value wise these are a 5 star item for me. But I'll admit that there is a steep learning curve, and it certainly doesn't work 100%. Sometimes it's frustrating. But for me this is far less time consuming, painful, or frustrating than tweezing with better results. Tricks I've figured out: 1. I MUST put vaseline on areas up to the eye where there is no hair (or you'll tear off eyelid skin). I can't be lazy about this or I regret it every time. 2. I must make sure not to get any vaseline or oil on areas I'm waxing. So face must be freshly showered and completely dry. And then no finishing oil until I'm complete done, and apply the vasoline very thinly with a q-tip. 3. Cut the strip to the right shape, and warm it just before applying. A blow dryer works best. After applying, let it cool for a second before tearing off. 4. Always pull the skin taught with the other hand while tearing off. Having an assistant is probably helpful for beginners. 5. Don't go over the same spot more than once. Ok, this one I do cheat on, but I limit myself to 2x over any given spot. Any more than that and it's so raw I look like a clown. Often with some bleeding. If it doesn't get the hair on the first two tries, then I have to tweeze them or try again after a few days. And sometimes it doesn't work. Fortunately tweezing (or even squeezing the hairs between strips or my fingers) is easy at this point because there is sticky wax on the brows to tug at. It's not perfect, and sometimes it is downright frustrating.. But for me still 100x better than tweezing, or hot wax. And much faster, with much cleaner and well shaped results.

I have tried it all - the roll on wax with strips, the wax you smear on and peel off, the wax you smear on and pull off with strips, the strips with wax already on them, and just plain ole plucking. While I mastered the smear-it-on-pull-it-off-with-a-strip method, I always found I was out of strips, with a lot of wax left. Plus, it was troublesome to keep the wax at the correct temperature. Finally, I tried these, and for the very first time, in all my plucking/waxing history, I had perfectly shaped, beautiful eyebrows WITH NO REDNESS OR PAIN!! (This includes dozens of trips to the spa where pain and redness occurred). There were only a couple of minutes of redness and tingling, and then it completely went away, and my eyebrows are perfect. Typically, because I have sensitive skin, my eyebrows would remain red and itchy/painful for a couple of days. I'm thrilled to have found this product, and I hope everyone else loves it as much as I do so that it will stick around. It was the easiest, most pain-free method I have ever used, and I will never have ugly eyebrows again thanks to these! ----- Update on 3/16/2010: I am still using these strips and have never been happier with an at-home eyebrow waxing product. I have to contest those who compare this to "scotch tape". That being said, you have to wash your face, freeing it of oil, and dry it thoroughly before using these. These will do the job completely as long as you do so. Great product. Still very happy!

I definitely wasted my money. These do not work. It feels exactly like you're putting scotch tape on your face. Sometimes it will rip out 2 or 3 hairs, sometimes it will rip nothing. Every time it will rip off your top layer of skin. The pre shapes do not fit the natural curve of my eyebrows so putting the lower strip on is awkward and a waste of time. I do not recommend this product. I have switched to using the blue Bliss microwaveable wax (which is messy but actually works very well) and tweezing.

I prefer these over wax strips hands down. No messy residue ever. So easy to apply. comes with contour and straight strips.

easy to use, not messy. I wish they they a bit stronger, to remove thicker eye brows' hair but it is perfect for removing smaller hair. would buy again. makes your eyebrows look "cleaner", and then it is easy to pluck big hair

These work so well for taking any facial hair off. Much nicer than using a cold wax that you have to heat water for when you need to do your grooming quickly and don’t wanna make a mess.

It doesn’t work no matter how many times I tried. It just doesn’t grasp my hairs. Too bad I really wanted them to work!

Absolutely a waste of money!
