three weeks. most likely TMI (so what else is new?), however that’s exactly how long I went without shaving my legs to test the new Bliss Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Body set ($36).

I’ve utilized similar kits from other brands like Sally Hansen before, however the strips included with this are made from a loosely-woven cotton material called muslin, instead of cardboard or plastic. You get 36 pre-waxed strips as well as the tiniest, Grinch-who-stole-Christmas-sized bottle of soothing azulene oil to condition your skin as well as eliminate any type of staying wax when you’re done. In addition to the muslin strips, which I discover easier to grip than the smooth plastic ones that include some other kits, the wax Bliss utilizes likewise feels somewhat thicker than most.

Så liten!

Having tried so many waxing kits before on so many different parts of my bod, I expected the usual trubs — the strips missing a great deal of hair, the wax being as well sticky as well as difficult to remove, or the set not coming with sufficient strips. Basically, from kits such as this one, I came to expect half-@ssed results.

So I was pleasantly surprised when the Bliss set really worked quite darn great!

Sure, it may not be as efficient as a difficult wax, which removes even the coarsest hairs in a single pass, however for a set designed for simple cleanup as well as convenience, it’s one of the much better ones I’ve used.

And I believe the waxed muslin strips truly make a difference. Not only do they hug my curves much better than the difficult plastic ones do, they likewise eliminate more hair. They’re not perfect, however I’d assumption they grab about 50% more hairs than the Sally Hansen strips per pass.

From my experience, the strips can be utilized about three passes each, sometimes four. To eliminate the hair from my ankles as much as my knees (aka the half-leg wax), I go with about 10 strips.

With 36 strips per kit, that’s about three half-leg waxes, or $12 per task — much cheaper than the $30 I’d most likely pay at a salon. factor in your time (10 minutes at home, versus at least 30 minutes at the salon, not including travel time) as well as tip, as well as that makes the set look like a much better deal.

It likewise includes directions, however right here are a few quick recommendations to ideally enhance your results…

Use a hair dryer — Warming the strips between my palms takes forever! To save time, I aim my hairdryer at each strip (set on low) for about 10 seconds to warm it up, as well as then location the strip on my leg while the wax is soft as well as warm.

Massage like it’s your job! — Bliss suggests massaging the strips in the exact same direction that the hairs lie before pulling them off. I’ve discovered that the more vigorously I massage the strips, the more hair they remove, so prepare to rub-a-dub-dub like cray-cray!

Pull the underlying skin taut — Typically, the hair on my legs grows downward, so before I pull away one of the strips, I likewise carefully pull the skin around it downward (in the exact same direction) to make it taught. Then, I peel the strip from the bottom up in the opposite direction with a swift, smooth pull. For me, this method seems to eliminate the most hair.

Oh, you can likewise utilize these strips on other parts of your bod. just cut them down to size with a pair of scissors in advance if you requirement to. I’ve likewise utilized these on my bikini line as well as upper lip.

They didn’t work rather also on my bikini line, though, only getting about half of the hairs per pull, however full disclosure — I’m, like, hella hairy at the moment since I didn’t do much upkeep last winter. I bet the strips would work just fine for routine touch-ups between bikini waxes.

They did much much better on my upper lip, where they dominated the Sally Hansen strips I’ve been utilizing for the past few years. They eliminated even the finest hairs in the extremely very first pass.

I definitely plan to utilize this set again, as well as again. It’s almost whatever I want it to be — quick, practical as well as efficient — if I had my way, the only things I’d modification are the cost ($26 seems more reasonable) as well as the size of the small bottle of azulene olje.

Um, is it gross that I get a weird excitement from seeing all of the hair that these strips remove? Wait, perhaps you shouldn’t response that.
