Test Panel - Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

At-home waxing strips are brand new from Veet. If you’re feeling shy or have a last minute event, now you can take care of that furry upper lip in the privacy of your own bathroom.

The Imagine testing panel loved the results we got with Veet’s Ready-To-Use Wax Strips for the face. They were easy to use, painless and most importantly…gently removed the hair from the upper lip area. The wax is room temperature and mounted on backing paper so there’s no hot mess to contend with. We may never go back to the salon for a lip wax!



Here’s how to use them:

· The wax strips are packaged between two backing strips. Rub the wax strip between your hands for 10 to 15 seconds to warm the wax. Peel apart the paper backings to expose two ready-to-use wax strips.
· For face, apply the wax strip to the hairy place on your face and rub the back of the strip in the direction of hair growth.
· Hold the skin taught.
· Pull back on the backing paper tab in the direction of hair-growth in a quick, swift motion.
· Remove any excess wax with the Perfect Finish Wipe.

$4.49 for 20 wax strips for the face and 4 perfect finish wipes. Now available at drug stores, grocery stores and mass merchandisers.

What Is Ines Sainz Asking For?

Over the last few days, there has been a lot of discussion about Mexico’s TV Azteca sports reporter Ines Sainz treatment by the New York Jets and her on-camera wardrobe. It’s never okay to harass anyone, ever. The slippery slope and controversy here is around the message Sainz is sending with her attire.

Everybody judges everybody based on image. Your image tells people who you are, what you do, and what you want. The resulting judgment and interpretation depends on the viewers’ perspective and image definitions. In the US, professional attire is always modest, has a simple silhouette, and fits loosely. Outfits can also be fun, feminine, fashionable and casual. However, anyone who compromises the first three golden rules of modesty, simplicity and fit will never be seen as professional in this culture.

In Mexico and many Central and South American countries, women are expected to dress in a sexy way, even for business situations. Cleavage exposure, skin-tight clothing, and frilly and feminine styles are common for women in all professions, classes and ages. Examples of these cultural norms can be seen everyday on news programs on the Telemundo and Univision TV networks.

As for many women from Central and South America working in the US, Sainz’s image troubles lie in the clash of cultural definitions of professional wardrobe for women. What is Ines asking for? Her TV Azteca audience knows she’s asking to be respected as a professional sports reporter. However, the American audience interprets her outfits as flirtatious and soliciting social interaction instead of professional relations.

“She was asking for it” is never justification for inappropriate and disrespectful behavior. And, if you want to be respected as a professional, your image is a critical factor in getting what you want.
