As you know I recently reviewed the Veet hot wax, just after I was sent the Veet Electrical Roll On Wax kit to review. I will be doing a tutorial and review on how to wax legs with the roll on kit. To use this kit for underarms and bikini line, it’s recommended that you get the smaller roller for the device. (I know my nails need doing, I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to sort them out!)
Things you’ll need:
- Veet Electrical Roll On Kit
- A plug socket near to where you’ll be waxing
Before Use: You can use the Veet Electrical Roll On Kit on legs, underarms and bikini area. Do not use on head, breast, perianal, genital or any other body part. Don’t forget to read the instructions before you use it.
Preparation:
Make sure there’s no cream
or product on the skin as it will affect how the wax works and it won’t work as
well.
Take the roll on kit out
of the box and read through all the instructions.
To heat the wax use only
the Veet device. Insert the Veet wax refill into the device. Ensure it’s fully
inserted.
Plug the electrical cable
into the device and into the socket. The red light turns on to confirm the
device is heating. Place the plugged device into the base and leave it for 20
mins to heat up. After 20 mins the device is ready to use,

The application:
Apply the wax to a small
area first to check the wax applies easily, if the wax doesn’t roll onto the
skin leave for an additional 5 mins. The wax is ready when it rolls onto the
skin easily and evenly. Do not allow the wax to come into contact with water as
it would become ineffective.
Apply the wax in the
direction of the air growth (from knee to ankle)
Check that the slanted
side of the roller is in contact with the skin during application to allow the
roller to glide over the skin.
Place the strip over the
layer of wax; make sure you rub down on the wax strip.
Hold the skin taut to
avoid discomfort. Hold the bottom of the wax strip and pull it off in one quick
motion against the hair growth. The faster you pull it off the more effective
it will be. Never lift the strip upwards, keep it parallel to the skin.
Once you have finished
waxing, remove any wax residue from the skin with the perfect finish wipes. Alternatively
you can use the back of the wax strip.
Unplug the device (after
use the refill will be hot-allow it to cool down before removing the refill
from the device.) if necessary you can clean the roller head using the back of
a used wax strip. Never use water, the finishing wipes or any other liquid to
clean the device and roller head. Replace the cap on the roll on.
What I thought:
The application was
extremely easy and mess free, the wax rolled easily over the skin in an even
layer. Afterwards my legs feel really smooth and soft. I’m surprised at just
how easy it was to use. It was painful but after the first couple of strips you
get used to it and it doesn’t really hurt after a while. Its definitely better
than shaving, legs stay smoother for longer and you don’t have to keep worrying
about it. I will definitely be getting the smaller roller so I can try it out
on my underarms and bikini line.
