It really is embarrassing to write a review for this since everybody and their brother will know you have a 'stache problem (That you are trying to keep hidden) however the products works so well I figured I should since it seems to be getting some flack here on Amazon.

First off, I tried lots of other products and nothing really worked for me. Bleach, which hurt a surprising amount and did not last long, tweezing which took too long and was way painful, and the chemical gel things which irritated my skin to no end. This was a Godsend. Yes, it hurts but so does everything else. Beauty, in general, hurts so deal with it.

There are several tips I have: don't bother rubbing it between your hands to warm it up. My hands are always cold so this was not effective. Instead I put it up to my bathroom light bulbs which really got the strips warm. Also, pull the strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. I know lots of people complain that there are not enough wipes but I just use either baby lotion or vitamin E lotion afterward. The desensitizing stuff doesn't really work anyway.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

As to previous reviews, uh duh, yeh, it hurts. What woman's regime doesn't hurt? But the minor pain is oh so worth it. What takes 30 minutes to do with repeated waxings, is done in two minutes with two quick pulls on each side of the lip. I also totally do agree with the one reviewer, what insane revelation led to a not equivalent amount of desensitizer with the strips? Make it in a gel form or something NADS. Other than that, this 38 year old would DIE without these. Coarse ugly non-feminine stache hair is GONE. Note to youngins.... my niece tried these with me (16 yr. old), not only did they hurt terribly, her face broke out in pimples/sores for a week afterwards. Perhaps these are only for the 30+ crowd.

I have went to a nail salon twice to wax my facial hair it was worth it but I hate the long waiting and the starring from other women like they are seeing this for the first time, the salon charges $15. I have done Electrolysis and laser hair removal but waiting for my next appointment sucks I often want to rid these hairs immediately so i trim b4 my appointments sometimes i pluck and most of the time i bleach. I prefer Bleaching and electrolysis treatments. Bleaching my upper lip is good I can barely see the hair but when i bleach my side burns and chin sometimes i can tell especially when the light or sunlight shines on my face. I have Black hair and my complexion is between pale and fair so when I bleach my hairs they look yellow so it is very noticeable when someone is up close even 4feet away.
******These wax strips are perfect for me :)******My first time using them were 3days ago. They are fragrance free which is great and they leave my skin nice and smooth. My skin is very sensitive to fragrance and other products so i have to be careful what i use on my skin anywhere on my body. I have eczema and terrible allergies that i deal with everyday. I am Glad I found these facial wax strips. Yes it does hurt a little but its tolerable. It saves me from waiting in a salon, the stares and from the embarrassment of men noticing the hairs. I really don't like my boyfriend looking at my face because of my facial hair. But now i can hide it better. I can carry these in my purse just in case. The light in the bathroom is different from the light outside. I wax my facial hair in my bedroom by my window using a small mirror I can see the hairs i want to remove better like this. These strips are a quick solution for my hair problems.Its easy to use it works and its not messy.

I have hair on my upper lip, on the sides of my face, and my brows go all the way to my hairline. It's emabarrassing to write and it is embarrassing to have, but these take care of it! Waxing and tweezing hurts, bleach is nasty, but these are a great alternative! They are easy to use.

I usually get Sally Hansen products because of the lower price but I was seriously sick of wasting my money on their stuff it always sucks. I took a chance with Nad's because I've never used any of their products before. I LOVE these strips! The wipes they give you to make it "pain-free" don't work too well but the soothing after wipes do. All you have to do is rub them between your palms for like 3 seconds, peel apart and then smooth on your upper lip, or wherever you are using them. Then RIP OFF. OUCH! but ooohh la la smooooth :) Great product and I will definitely recommend to my mom, and two sisters as well as all my friends.

What is the science behind only including 2 packs of soothing wipes & 2 packs of desensitizing wipes in this package with 24 strips? Makes no sense. IN ANY CASE, the desensitizing wipes DO NOT WORK so no need to worry about that.

This product did remove my facial hair. However it hurts much more than a similar product by Sally Hansen. I will be going back to that product.

I would say buy it if it is the only product available in the store when you are there.

These strips are very easy to use. The one issue is that Nads does not provide enough wipes (desensitizing/post wax). That said, it's still worth it to purchase this and have these at home.

I received the product at an event I attended and used it without expecting too much. It works. I used other products and was always frustrated as the results were never satisfying. However with these strips I managed to get the same result I get after seeing a professional.

If you follow the attached instructions - you will do it right. Great product!!! I will get it again to avoid paying for a professional spa service.

Removes unwanted facial hair like a dream - a slightly painful dream but as my sister used to say: Beauty is pain.

I was able to heat it up par the directions - rubbing it between my palms. Not up and down like one would think but I just kept it in one hand and rubbed it with the base of my palm. I feel like heating it with a hairdryer would make it way too hot.

The cleansing wipes work very well at removing excess wax and they sooth the irritated skin. All of the hair was removed in one rip each.

I have tried ALL brands of wax strips and these are the best by far. of course it HURTS but the part I love about these strips is that it actually STICKS to hair and the hair comes off with one pull. Other strips Ive tried through the years leaves stray hairs and you have to go BACK over it with another strip (which leaves your skin looking red and burned) or painfully tweeze them. I love this product so much Ive signed up for auto delivery every few months this is definitely the wax strip product I will continue to use as long as my eyebrows grow!
