| Kisses4Sal's Full Review: Grundig Igia AT856 Epil-Stop & Spray Kit |
Since I am Portuguese I have the unsightly hair problem on my upper lip, I have been removing it for many many years using nair for the face or similar types. While watching tv one night, I was just too darn lazy to change the channel and got sucked into watching the Epil-Stop commercial. Thinking to myself wow looks great. It claims to remove hair easily from face, legs, arms, underarms and other areas just spray and wipe a few minutes later. I liked the fact that they had the roll on for facial areas and the spray for your legs and other areas. I usually just shave my other areas, but I thought it would be great to not have to shave and have the same effect like I waxed instead.
I did not however buy this product off the commercial, I waited for it to come into stores.
First thing I noticed when I used it was it smelled nice, I read the directions, and then apply the roll on, on my upper lip, wait the maximum amount of time and then wipe it off like instructed, I look in the mirror and ALL, not just a little, but ALL, of my hair was still on my lip, I scrubbed and what have you until I made my upper lip red, (I know stupid me) and all the hair was still there.
Thinking that maybe my hard to remove hair needed another applying in 24 hours I reapplied the next day, and got the same results.
About the roll-on it puts a very thin clear amount of Epil-Stop on your lip, not nearly enough to do anything, so I also found myself rolling this thing on my face forever to get enough on.
So then I decide to try the spray, on my arms and legs, Both different types of hair, because I always shave my legs and never remove the hair from my arms, so I wanted to see what the result would be for both.
I sprayed and sprayed until I was covered like it said I should be, I waited with my legs up, because it was dripping like the dickens, and stung a little but not too bad. The time came to wipe off my unwanted hair, and once again every single hair on my arms and legs were still there.
The product does nothing that is claims to do and it was a big waste of money and time.
