Bliss Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
What it is:An easy-to-use hypoallergenic wax strip designed to remove facial hair quickly and easily without heat. What it does:Formulated with moisturizing aloe vera, these wax strips remove hair without fuss. The quick, convenient strips are perfect for experienced waxers looking for a fast, on-the-fly fuzz removal, whether traveling or touching up between in-spa waxes, or for first timers who have never waxed. What else you need to know:The wax gently grabs to remove even the most tiny hairs, shortening waiting time between waxing sessions. One strip can be used up to five times. For smaller areas, cut the strip to the required size.

Review 1 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
poor quality

these strips are below average quality, completely dried up after a week or so, and i was unable to use the rest of it. you can get the same for half or less of the price at the drugstore!

Review 2 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
not worth it
-05.20.13
Bought this to get rid of pesky blonde mustache hair, didn't work AT ALL! Debating whether I should try again, or just return. I have sensitive skin, so was hesitant to try the "nair"type products they sell at sephora. Back to the tweezers...

Review 3 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
I did a comparision
-05.09.13
Quick Take: awesome
I used Bliss strips on my left eyebrow and lip and Veet strips on my right. Not only was the Bliss less painful, it removed more hairs, and left less residue. AND I have SUPER sensitive skin, and had some redness but no rash/raw spots.

These were great! I was super skeptical but they worked really well and i wasn't too irritated afterward and they didn't make me break out/burn me. WAY better than getting it done at a salon

Review 5 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
tender poetry
-04.13.13
These waxing strips are easy to use and easy on the skin on your face. A few bonuses I discovered while using them: You usually don't end up using all of the oil provided, I gave it to my boyfriend to clean his hair clippers and accessories. So if you have a hair clipper in the house, the left over oil works great! And these wax strips, although for your face, work for cleaning up small areas in the bikini area as well. Great product, thanks Sephora!

Review 6 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
I returned these
-04.10.13
Quick Take: average
They didn't work that well for me. They left more than a few hairs behind, and, although you can reuse the little strips again, I can't rewax my skin. My skin is very sensitive and once I wax it, I don't dare wax over the same spot. The little oil works really well to remove the left over residue. I rated these fair b/c they somewhat work, but I'd just rather go to a salon, or buy a pot of wax.

Review 8 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
Quick!
-04.02.13
I have a full wax kit - but with a busy schedule it is sometimes a chore to heat up the wax and go through the whole deal - I thought these would be much quicker and more convenient and they are! However, first use I have red marks on my upper lip the day after I used them. Typically when I use the regular peel off wax from Bliss, I do not have any red marks. Not sure what is in these strips that makes them leave a mark.

Review 10 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
meh
-03.25.13
I tried this last night on my lip. I rubbed the strip for20 seconds between my hands, which was awkward. I applied the sticky strip to my skin abvoe my lip, rubbed over it a few times, and ripped it off. It did not get all the hair, and it left my skin really red (which is normal for me for waxing). I used the other strip for the other side of my upper lip area. Still did not get all the hair. The strips still seemed tacky, and I am sure I could have gotten more hairs by reapplying them, but I have learned for my skin that I shouldn't re-wax an area. I will just stick to going to the salon beucase it really isn't that expensive and they seem to get all of the hair in one fell swoop. The oil worked really well.

Review 11 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
works for me for lip area. less well for bikini
-03.23.13
Quick Take: easy to use
I have a set of these waxing strips with a mix of face-sized and body-sized strips. I find that the face-sized ones work just fine to keep my upper lip from getting fuzzy, and aren't excessively "ouchy." The body-sized ones that I use on my bikini line are less effective, but I wonder whether this is a technique issue as opposed to a product performance issue.

Review 13 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
gentle & effective if used correctly
-03.14.13
1. don't wash with warm water prior to use: melts the wax too much, so can't hold onto hairs.
2. apply in direction that you will pull -- against the grain" of how hair grows (i.e., each side of moustache separately, twd the middle).
3. wait >2 wks btw uses, otherwise hair is all too short. I think you need to have some longer, coarser hairs to grab onto, or you may not pull properly "against the grain" bcs it is not sufficiently obvious direction.

Review 15 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face
Didn't remove much hair!
-03.04.13
I bought it to try it out against the Anastasia wax for price wise but I will keep buying the Anastasia wax. It hardly removed any kind of facial hair I had at would get really, really red. It seemed to be a lot like a drugstore wax.

Review 16 for Poetic Waxing Wax Strips Face

-02.27.13
I have used waxing strips before and never had problems. I had problems peeling them apart, the wax sticks to one side in some places. It did remove hair, but it caused red, dry, scabbed skin in spots! I still have marks 5 days later. I wish I had read some reviews before I bought them. I will not buy them again.

Quick Take: bliss poetic waxing strips
1st time I purchased the waxing strips, and am pleased with the results. I will purchase them again. Have used this in the morning before my makeup. Been tweezing & using hair remover products for years. I have some redness but it usually goes away quickly because my skin is probably used to those products.
