Parissa Salon Warm Wax and Express Wax Strips

Here are Parissa Salon Warm Wax Strips (£12.99) and Express Wax Strips (£8.99) that I tried out a few months ago, which can be purchased from Sainsbury's and Boots in the UK.






Parissa Warm Wax is a natural hair removal system. It includes 120ml wax, 20 strips, 3 spatulas and 8ml Azulene oil.


To use the wax, simply heat up in the microwave, on a plate after removing the cap and seal, for 1-2 minutes and stir. Then use the end of the spatula to spread a thin layer of wax in the same direction as hair growth. Apply strip over the waxed area and rub well to ensure it is well stuck. Hold skin taut underneath the strip, and using the other hand to grip the end of the strip and rip off quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth.   The same strip can actually be used a few times so the strips last longer! You can then remove any wax residue left on the skin with the Azulene oil.


I think this product is great quality and does exactly what it is designed to do, at a salon quality level. I have to warn you though....it is a  messy process! The wax is sticky and and a lot of care and consideration is needed to ensure it doesn't go everywhere!. It is also important to remember that wax does not wash off. So ensure you are not waxing your legs on your best carpet! I did mine in my kitchen on the tiled floor to prevent any wax disasters! The wax was also really easy to remove with the oil provided, although I did find that the amount of oil provided was on the small side.  But I find that baby oil works just as well to remove the wax so it wasn't a problem.


I really like this kit. It removed all the hairs on my legs quickly and easily and left them feeling baby smooth. You get loads of wax in the tub too so it lasts a good while!







Parissa Express wax strips is ready to use hair removal system, that is quick to use and mess free. Included in the kit are 16 (8 x 2 sided) strips and 8ml of Azulene oil.


These are super easy to use, as you simply have to warm the strip up by rubbing between your hands. Then press on to the skin smoothing down in the direction of hair growth. Then whip off immediately in the opposite direction of hair growth. The same strip can  be used several times. These can be used on the underarms, bikini line and upper lip.


I use these on my upper lip and they are excellent. I have used cold wax strips before and none of them have come close to being as good as these ones. These are so convenient and remove the hair pain free, quickly and easily. I find that there is less residue left with these strips than with cheaper alternatives. Any sticky residue left behind can be removed with the Azulene oil provided. I'm in love with these!
