Review on Smooth and Silky: Flamingo Women's Face Wax Kit for Effortless Hair Removal by Rain Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product, terrible packaging and it makes a huge difference

I have either waxed my upper lip at home or gone to a salon to have it done for years. The only reason I don't usually do this at home is so I don't always forget to turn on the heating pad, which is messy. I find myself in the salon so often, and it's not always comfortable. I saw an ad for flamingo wax strips and thought for the very low price of $10 I might give it a try. The first assignment was a dream. It worked great, I only needed one strip to apply the entire lip as well as the philtrum and the soothing serum was lovely. This time I didn't need towels after depilation. Fast forward a few weeks and it's time to start growing again. I open the pack and all the strips stick together and when I tear one off the wax sticks to the back of the next strip. The same goes for the next few strips. So here is my problem. Once opened, the strips cannot be stored in the small envelope provided, which prevents them from sticking together and becoming unusable. If the wax sticks to both sides of the strip, it will be impossible to smooth the strip down on your lip without sticking your fingers to the back of the wax strip or smearing the wax onto your fingers with oil. And there are many strips in the set, enough for 20 waxes, but only for six towels after waxing. So what should I do when they're gone? is it a wing I kept the open product in a cool place where the wax wouldn't get too hot. If the product came with a small case to store the strips once opened I would give it five stars even without the requisite amount of post wax wipes. But so far I've only been able to use it once and all the wax strips are now a gooey unusable mess. If Flamingo finds a way to store them, I'll consider another purchase, but from the looks of it I spent three times what I paid for salon wax (the woman who does my lips charges me $3 for lip wax). and $5 for a brow line, I know it's a good deal. I travel to the south asian area in a big city for this service because they do an excellent job) for the lip waxing and the rest is rubbish.

  • Almost everything is there
