the cream bladless kit thing, and it stinks sooooo much! and after you wash it off your hands they feel really weird..... but after that it does actually work, a bit.


I think it works!!!! :biggrin: I've found it really good for use between waxing :rolleyes: lol (but yes it smells :p: )

I've never found it does anything for me apart from give me an atrocious rash where every single one of my hair folicles goes bright red and it doesn't go away for weeks (I made the mistake when I was 13 - when it was still called Immac!! - and had to keep my legs covered up for so much of the summer).

I used to use it but I dont like it now. These days I use a combo of waxing, epilating and shaving. Hair removal cream stuff is more trouble than its worth. It can also make your skin sightly darker if you use it too much or so I heard :eek:

Like Blissy it just gives me a rash as well (although mine went away in a few days) but I think it's because my skin is sensitive. On of my sisters once bought me an expensive Tommy Girl gift set and I couldn't use any cream stuff could only use perfume :P

I think Veet is kinda crap, in fact ALL hair removal creams are. You're better off using an epilator (they're expensive though, but last up to 4 weeks).

i tried veet and i think it works okay, not as smooth as shaving but still gets rid of most of the hair. but i get that weird feeling on my hands too, and it clogs up the sink and im scared it'll take off the little hairs on my hands etc while im putting it on and then they'll grow back thicker so i don't use it much :redface: and it smells funny too.

epilators rule

epilators kill. I can actually use that veet stuff and it worked well which is a miracle. I thought I could get away with green tea wax but alas the second time I used it I had a huge rash

Are epilators really painful? I would love to try one but Im too much of a wuss!
I've always found Veet ok... I got a little bit of a rash once, but apart from that it's not been bad. It does smell though- and I think I get a smoother shave from a razor! (Though more cuts!)

I've tried the lot! Veet is messy, makes your hair grow back thicker and if youre gonna remove your hair for the first time, i recomend NOT to use it. The best so far for me was waxing my legs. Shaving my legs made my skin more dry. Waxing acted as a exfoliant and didnt make my legs go dry. It made my legs all nice and smoooooooth and gave it a glow.
Epilators...oww.

Anyone know how to stop it hurrrting? Mine's got this ice pack with it which doesn't actually numb the skin, unfortunately.

They hurt a little the first few times you use it, but when you start using it regularly you won't really feel the pain.
