Veet
Posted on May 10, 2004 by Ching under Life.
I saw the Veet commercial a couple of months ago and almost immediately I wanted to try it. I am every marketers’ dream. If you look up the word sucker in the dictionary, you’d probably find my picture right next to it.
Veet doesn’t really work that great. Not only that, the three minute stuff contains super strong chemical ingredients. When they say not to leave it on for more than eight minutes, they’re serious! I only had it on for like five minutes (I left it on longer because the hairs wouldn’t scrape off) but it ate away at my skin. I have a small patch on my right forearm that is raw because of it. The bladeless shaver thing is totally just a gimmick. It doesn’t work for shit. I finally just had to use a wet face cloth to wipe off the cream. The tv commercial makes it seem so simple. It works in theory but in reality, the old fashioned way works better.
Anyway, here are some webcam captures of me with straight hair (taken after I had gotten my hair dyed back to my natural hair color; no more two-tone hair for me, yay) and then next with my hair curled.
