DIY Wax Strips that Spells Disaster

I have a tendency to do my own waxing as I find that it isn't that hard and sometimes, I don't have time to make an appointment to get it done by professionals.  So, it's no surprise when my wax strips were running low, I went to grab some to use.  As I was browsing around, I saw that there's one type that I've not tried before; Veet Wax strips with Shea Butter and Berry.  Me being me, I went ahead and grab it cause, I mean, hey, it's a brand that I've always been buying on and off, how wrong could it get, right?  Oh boy, how wrong was I on this account.

When I opened it, the strips looks fine and dandy.  It's looks so neat and pink on its own, plus it smells of berry.   A nice change to those sticky wax that I used last time (I can't remember if they smell though). Well, that's where are its niceties ends.

The minute I split the strips apart, I have an odd feeling over it.  It's hard! I mean, most wax aren't that hard, not the type that I am familiar with anyway.  Thinking it wasn't anything, I applied it and wax away.  Tending to use the strips 2 to 3 times, I stick it onto my leg again and tried to wax again.  Failure is the word.  It doesn't work, it barely able to remove any hair the second time round.  Anyhow, I continue to give it a try.

The horror/ disaster begun when I used the 2nd pair of strips.  When I try to remove it, the whole wax STUCK onto my skin and it got removed from its strip.  Man, that continued for like 4 pairs of the strips.  I could only use them twice and some only once!  It is just terrible.

There was never once were I could use the wax strips properly and out of the 20 strips, I used 12 of them @.@

This is a definite no buy for me.  I was really turned off and appalled by the fact that it's stated as stronger grip on the box.  Disaster... disaster...A definite no to rebuying this.
