I recently had the privilege of trying Body by Bridgitte wax strips kits.These kits can be found at Ulta.

Body byBridgitte Wax Stips Kit – Face, Brows, Bikini ($6.99)

Each kit comes with:

• 2 pre-wax desensitizing towelettes that are infused with natural clove oil to clean and prepare the skin before waxing
• 2 post-wax towelettes that are infused with natural lemongrass and aloe to gently clean the area treated and freshen the skin
• 30 wax strips in 3 different sizes

Body by Brigitte Wax Strips Kit – Legs, Body, Arms ($9.99)

Each kit comes with:

• 2 pre-wax desensitizing towelettes that are infused with natural clove oil to clean and prepare the skin before waxing
• 2 post-wax towelettes that are infused with natural lemongrass and aloe to gently clean the area treated and freshen the skin
• 30 wax strips in 3 different sizes

My Thoughts:

Pros:

• It wasn’t gooey sticky. It only stuck to the hairs I wanted to remove and not to my surrounding skin.
• The initial pull wasn’t painful.
• It wasn’t messy at all.
• Didn’t cause any tenderness after waxing.

Cons:

• It took about 3 pulls/tries to remove all the hair.
• The pre-wax towelette did not smell all that great.

I decided to test wax a small area because I did not know what to expect. I think it’s best to wax a small area instead a large area all at once since it will take more than 1 pull to remove all the hairs. This will prevent the pain.

Sally Hansen Spray On Shower Off Hair Remover ($7.99 )

• Now, you can spray your stubble away!
• The easiest, fastest, most effective way to remove unwated hair.
• Drip-free spray for legs, body, arms and more.
• No touching, no spreading, no mess.
• 360 Degree spray can spray upside down for those hard to reach areas.
• Results in as little as 3 minutes!
• Helps reduce the appearance of hair regrowth.

My Thoughts:

This doesn’t smell as bad as Nair and Veet, but it still does stink. It doesn’t wash right off like it’s advertised. You have to use a washcloth or something to wash it off. You also have to leave it on much longer than 3 minutes for it work. It doesn’t remove all the unwanted hair, and there’s barely enough product in the can for both legs. I’m really beginning to think these hair removal cremes don’t ever work and I should just stop trying them out.

Nair Hair Remover Lotion ($8.50) Oh my goodness does this stuff smell horrible! I will never use Nair again. It only removed patches of hair. You would have to use Nair multiple of times to remove all the unwanted hair. Also, it caused a tingling, burning sensation. Not a good feeling at all. I will just stick to old fashion shaving.

Skintimate Shave Gel ($2.99) I love Skintimate Shave Gel. There is a wide assortment of scents to choose from. Also, shave gels for every skin type and need. They lather up well and a little goes a long way. It does a great job of protecting legs from nicks and cuts. They also keep skin soft too.
