(Review) Influenster May Wax Product: Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit

SUMMER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!! For the past couple weeks, it has been extremely hot here in southern California, and it is the perfect weather to bust out those short shorts, mini skirts, and summer dresses. However, this can also be the beginning of a long nightmare for many girls because they now have to shave those unwanted hair on their legs almost everyday, just to keep them silky smooth. Luckily, for me, Influenster has decided to treat me to a silky smooth legs summer.

2 weeks ago, I have received my May Wax Product from Influenster, and inside is the Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit. I was very excited when I got this box because I always find shaving to be super tedious, and on top of that, I have to do it every 2-3 days, or else my legs would get super prickly. I have considered going to a salon and get some waxing done, but that can also be expensive in the long run. So, thank you Influenster for sending me this product!! I couldn’t wait to try it out!!

This is what the box looks like when it came in the mail, and immediately I can tell this product is from Veet. It has a Veet sticker on the box, with the quote “Bare More Beautiful”. The size of this box is just as big as my February Sweetheart VoxBox, despite the fact that it only has one product inside and the Sweetheart VoxBox has 4.

When I opened this box, I was very surprised that Influenster has taken the extra step of bubble-wrapping the product before sending the boxes out. I really appreciate of what they have done, and it definitely shows that they care about their members. Kudos to you guys!!!

The box has two items inside: a congratulations card and the Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit. On the congratulations card, it says, “Congratulations, your Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit has arrived! Say goodbye to shaving nicks & cuts! Inside this box, you’ll find everything you need to heat up, roll on, and wax off hair for smoothness that lasts up to 28 days without even leaving the house. The Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit achieves salon quality results for flawless, silky smooth skin.” After reading that, I got even more excited! 28 days?!? If this is really true, the product might just make me the happiest girl this summer!!

The Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit includes: 1 electrical warmer with base, 1 legs and body roll-on refill (wax cartridge), 24 hair removal strips, 4 perfect finish wipes, a instruction leaflet, and an electrical cable. Each wax cartridge can be used for up to 4 sessions, depending on how much wax you use each time. According to the front of the box, this product is supposed to provide “salon quality silky smooth results at a fraction of the price.”

There are 2 main perks about this product:

1) It can keep the wax at the right temperature throughout the entire waxing session. This way the wax won’t cool down and hardens in the middle of the process, and the user doesn’t have to keep reheating the wax.

2) It also ensures clean and even application.

On the back of the box, it says that the product works on hair as short as 1/16 in., and it can give me smooth skin for up to four weeks. The wax has shea butter as one of the ingredients, and it can leave my skin soft and smooth. Lastly, it also says that with regular use, I will get fewer, finer, and softer hair growing back. After reading all these, I seriously think that this product sounds too good to be true haha ^_^

So what do I think about the product after trying it out??

I followed the instructions provided in the instruction leaflet, and waxed both of my legs (from knees to ankles). Afterward, I sort of have mixed feelings about this product.

First, the good part. I really like this kit because it is, like it said on the box, simple and easy to use. The actual waxing process was pretty quick, and my skin does feel softer afterward. The temperature of the wax was definitely one of my biggest worries before application, but I soon found out that the wax wasn’t too hot, and was perfect for my skin. The wax also kept its temperature throughout the entire session, and I was definitely happy about that. The waxing strips are reusable during the same session, and even though it recommends using 3 strips per session (for both legs), I ended up using 4 instead because this is my first time. The perfect finish wipe was also very useful, and it removed all the wax residue on my legs almost immediately after one wipe.

Now to the bad part. This kit was actually quite messy. Although the waxing strips are reusable, after several uses, it seems that the strips aren’t thick enough and some wax starts leaking to its surface as I was pressing down the strips. Thus causing the wax to get on my hands and everything else I touched, including the electrical warmer. I think if the strips are meant to be used for several times, Veet should provide thicker strips, and make this product truly mess-free. Another thing I didn’t like about this kit is that it didn’t quite get all the hair off of my legs. After going through all the pain and mess, I still couldn’t get a 100% smooth legs?? That is just a bit disappointing. The wax got about 85-90% of my hair, and I had to shave the rest of them off afterward. The even sadder part is that the leftover hair aren’t even short. They were all within the waxing length, and I was surprised when I saw the result. Lastly, in the instruction leaflet, it says that the wax only needed to be heated for 30 minutes before use. In reality, this is not even close. For me, it took about 50 minutes just to have the wax applicable, and it almost took 75 minutes to have the wax run in perfect consistency. That is just wayyy too long, especially when compared with shaving where it only takes me 5 minutes max.

Overall, I think I would rate the Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit a 7/10. With this kit costing $34.26-$39.99, I believe it is very reasonable, since it does cost around that price just to get your legs waxed once in a salon. However, I am really not sure whether I will keep purchasing the strips and wax refills, which costs around $10, once I am done with the ones I have. I am happy with the results that I got from this kit, even though I didn’t get 100% hairless legs. I will definitely use it more often if the whole process isn’t as time consuming. Although there are several things that I am not quite satisfy with the Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit, I will still recommend this to my friends and family because it does keep my legs smooth and hairless for at least 3 weeks, and that is definitely way better than having to shave every 2-3 days. Let me know in the comments below if anyone of you gave this kit a try. I would love to hear your thoughts about this product!!
