So do they deliver?
In terms of application these strips are extremely user friendly and perfect for virgin waxers and experienced waxers alike. Simply rub the wax strips between the hands to warm before peeling apart the strips and placing one onto the skin. Rub repeatedly in the direction of hair growth and then whip it off in a flash. We are pleased to say you don’t even have to grit your teeth because the removal is pain free even for those of us who were sporting rather unkempt leg hair before waxing. The strip can then be reused repeatedly until it looses its grip.
After the removal our legs were looking very smooth and almost polished thanks to the lovely scented finish wipes (no strong hair removal scent) which are included to remove the excess wax.

In terms of living up to the other claims, even those of us with relatively freshly shaved legs with between one and two days of regrowth found that it removed all traces of even the most minuscule hairs.

Overall we covet these fantastic wax strips, however our one criticism was that, as with most things in life there simply isn’t enough of them! The pack includes 18 wax strips and 4 perfect finish wipes which is probably enough to do the bottom of your leg and perhaps a smaller area such as bikini line or underarms but if your looking to wax the whole leg and other bits’n'bobs then you may need more than one box.

Veet Suprem’Essence wax strips are available to purchase from Boots and are priced at £6.34. If you would like more information on the Veet Suprem’Essence range then you can visit the website here.

Well-kept preened brows can say a lot about a person. Its all very well having a beautiful skin and a perfectly made up face but a pair of unkempt brows aren’t going to do you any favours.

If you want to achieve plucked perfection then you need to invest in a good pair of tweezers. Beauty Resource recommend Elegant Touch Jewelled Tweezer Comb £7.45, as they give a firm grip on the hair and also incorporate an eyebrow comb.

The ideal time to tweeze is just after you’ve taken a hot shower or bath, this way your pores will be open and the hair will be easier to remove (& a little less painful) . Its best to pop yourself in front of a mirror, with lots of lights on so you can see all the little stray hairs. Always start from the middle, plucking out towards the end, then go back to the middle and pluck towards the nose. A great tip is to pluck only one hair at a time, this way there will be no danger of over plucking.

It is a well known fact that come winter, woman’s razors go into hibernation. After all who can be bothered to shave their legs on a weekly basis when they never even see the light of day? Unless you have someone to impress it just seems like another time consuming activity. An epilator on the other hand, only requires your attention once a month!

Although waxing is a longer lasting alternative to shaving, unless you visit a professional to have it done it is also messy and time consuming. However, an epilator is a great alternative and will last up to four weeks. At the moment Boot’s currently have a special offer on Braun epilators, shaving a third of the original price, making it a viable alternative to the electric razor.

The Braun Silk epil Xelle Epilator comes in at £32.66 (down from £48.99). It has a number of features which aim to make the epilation process as comfortable as possible. The Silk epil Xelle has a smart light, which illuminates the area that is being epilated so that even the finest hairs are visible, putting you in full control of epilation.

If you prefer to use a shaver for the more sensitive areas of your body then you can clip on the shaver head, which is specially designed to fit the contours of your bikini line or underarms. With the Opt Trim attachment you can also trim your bikini area and pre-cut the hair to the ideal length making epilation even easier.

Other great features include massaging rollers which gently stimulate your skin and an efficiency pro clip which allows you to cover larger areas of skin, so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.

Braun Silk epil Xelle Epilator is available online from Boots or instore.

I went and bought myself a pair and they happen to be my best buy of the month! Being blonde I have a lot of fair hairs that I sometimes cannot see and find them hard to remove, as I sometimes apply eye shadow or highlighter underneath my eye brows I find that the fair hairs act as a barrier and the shadow falls off. Now that I can easily see them with the light I can just pluck them out myself, saving a trip to the beauty salon to get them waxed!

These can be found on HQhair.com for £10.99.
