I’ m sitting here writing this and my upper lip feels a bit numb. I did quickly apply a cold flannel after use and hope this gets rid of the redness by tomorrow morning for work. Gawd. Okay, I just ran to the mirror and despite a numb burning there is no redness in my face, phew! Perhaps once I get the knack, it will work a bit better.
Time to confess. I hope you never noticed it or I hope I just get lucky like the girl in Be Kind Rewind( the video store comedy starring Jack Black and Mos Def, who confesses to his love interest, Alma, that he still wants to kiss her despite her moustache. A very sweet and real moment).
Anyway, as some of my fellow ladies will understand, I’ m a little hairy. I’ ve tried all the different methods and am still looking for the holy grail in getting smooth skin effortlessly without painful side effects or too much cost.
The strips only hurt a little and I was impressed by, ahem, the amount of pesky hairs it removed. They are convenient and easy to use, so great if you are looking for a quick-fix option.

One of the latest trends to sweep the beauty world is women shaving their face, with bloggers and vloggers admitting to hitting the razor. This trend is actually rooted in history with beauty icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor having said it was their ultimate‘ beauty secret’ to creating a more flawless finish once makeup is applied.
Jolen, the brand known for its iconic Creme Bleach, has just launched Jolen Face Wax Strips which make for a great alternative for those who are cautious of using a razor on delicate skin on their face. They are suitable for sensitive skin, and the results will last up to 4 weeks- much longer and safer than shaving! www. jolenbeauty. com
However, if they are made for sensitive skin, well, I think they just made my skin become sensitive. I was a little red raw afterwards though so wonder if the ease of ready to use strips is worth it if I’ m feeling numb in the lower half of my face?
Have to admit though, Jolen appears to offer a quick, easy, effortless solution. Low budget, so worth considering if you want a quick fix, are experienced at waxing and want to save money and time not visiting a salon. Plus the packaging offers clear instructions and great tips on before and aftercare like how to get rid of wax residue.
Pros: Cheap Quick and easy to use Little wax residue left on skin
Cons: After effects- unsure if really made for sensitive skin May not provide complete coverage of hair removal
