We all have it: pesky, unsightly or unruly hair in places society says we shouldn’t. But let’s be honest—who really has the time (or funds!) to run to the salon for a wax every time a straggler arises? Not us! That’s why we’re “waxing poetic” over bliss’s latest innovation: Poetic Waxing Wax Strips. Available in smaller strips for brows, lip or chin and larger ones for body waxing, these little babies are sure to save you countless trips and hard-earned dollars. Simply apply wax strip to the desired area, massage in direction of hair growth and swiftly remove. Apply the accompanying azulene oil to remove any remaining wax and soothe skin, and you’re done—all in under five minutes, no less! $25 gets you a 10 pack of facial strips (the rough equivalent of $150 in lip waxes!) Sold!
