Getting Ready for a Night Out with European Wax Center®

Getting ready for a night out is the best! I always enjoy contemplating different outfits to wear, picking out makeup products to enhance my features, and browsing the internet for hairstyling ideas. Needless to say, I find imagining what my final look will be like is as exciting as the event itself.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: no matter what I have planned, having filled-in, defined, and well-groomed brows always makes me look put together. I recently visited European Wax Center® in Orland Park, IL, to get my brows  professionally treated, and I must say, it was the quickest and most painless waxing experience. My wax expert even did a little demo on maintaining the shape of my brows at home!

Want to enhance your waxing experience? This month, European Wax Center® is launching Strut 365™, a new collection of skin care, bath and body, and brow care products designed to help maintain smooth skin and fierce brows between the visits. Each Strut 365™ product is formulated with its own key ingredient complex to deliver amazing results. All products are free of parabens and mineral oil.

Strut Smoothly™ Collection includes five products:

• Reveal Me Body Exfoliating Gel – Powered by naturally derived fruit enzymes, this gentle exfoliating gel prevents ingrown hairs. Use three times a week before and after waxing for best results.
• Reveal Me Face Exfoliating Gel – Gentle enough for daily use, this unique exfoliating gel supports natural cell turnover.
• Renew Me Restoring Serum – Replenish stressed skin and calm irritation with this fast-acting antioxidant-rich facial serum. Use AM and PM prior to moisturizer.
• Smooth Me Ingrown Hair Serum – This lightweight alcohol-free serum helps keep ingrown hairs in check when used daily.
• Smooth Me Ingrown Hair Wipes – Infused with AHA and BHA, these single-use wipes are a convenient way to treat bumpy skin and prevent ingrown hairs on-the-go.

I used Smooth Me Ingrown Hair Wipes for the next few days after my European Wax Center® visit to make sure the skin around my eyebrows doesn’t get bumpy. To keep the area smooth, I also used Reveal Me Face Exfoliating Gel twice a week. This unique exfoliant makes my dead cells roll off without irritating my skin. Finally, I applied Renew Me Restoring Serum daily and loved how soft, smooth, and comfortable my face felt afterward. Results will be dependant on the person, but for best usage look at packaging instructions.

Strut Boldly™ Collection includes six products:

• Browfection™ Brow Liner And Shaper – Polish your look on-the-go with this handy dual-ended brow shaper. Available in 6 shades.
• Browfection™ Brow Powder Duo – Each smudge-proof duo enables you to create a custom shade to match your unique brow color perfectly. Available in 3 shade combinations.
• Brow Pals Dual-Ended Brow Brush – Your brows’ new best friend! This dual-ended brush features a spoolie and an angled brush to help create the perfect brow shape with ease.
• Sucha Tweeze™ Slant Tweezer – Hand polished stainless steel tip is perfectly slanted to grab those pesky stray hairs with almost surgical precision.
• Oh My Brow!™ Brow Highlighter – This soft illuminating pencil in universally flattering shimmery champagne shade will take your brow game to a whole new level.
• Ready. Set. Brow!™ Perfect Brow Groomer – One swipe of this clear gel will help fix your brows in place without leaving them stiff and sticky.

I was really excited to try the brow products! My brows looked great after visiting European Wax Center®, so for a night out I wanted to enhance the look my wax specialist created during my visit. I dipped the slanted end of Brow Pals Dual-Ended Brow Brush into Browfection™ Brow Powder Duo in Sepia/Sienna to fill in sparse areas and outline the shape, then brushed the hairs with the spoolie end. That sheered out the pigment, making my brows look naturally full and defined. Sometimes a couple stray hairs end up sticking out, so I set everything in place with Ready. Set. Brow!™ Perfect Brow Groomer. To finish the look I swiped Oh My Brow!™ Brow Highlighter above the arch and along the brow bone. A little highlighter always helps me look more awake and makes the brow line appear sharper, so I almost never skip this step.

Strut Lavishly™ Collection includes three products – Body Wash, Body Polish, and Body Lotion. Infused with exclusive Comfort Blend™, they calm, nourish, and restore skin while helping visibly slow regrowth of hair between waxes. Available in three unique scents:

• Cheeky Strut – Refreshing, sparkling, and juicy blend of mandarin naartjie [also known as satsuma], mango, soft peony, and violet inspires wanderlust.
• Graceful Strut – Clean, fresh, and delicate bouquet of freesia, white rose, muguet, and white musk makes you dream of swaying in a hammock on a tropical island.
• Sensual Strut – Intoxicating and warm, this blend of vanilla, amber, apricot nectar, jasmine, and lily gives a boost of confidence.

Vanilla and amber are some of my favorite fragrance notes, so I knew I would love Sensual Strut products before I even tried them. For a physical exfoliant Sensual Strut Body Polish was pleasantly gentle. It helped smooth some of the roughest areas on my body, including knees and elbows, making them soft to touch. Sensual Strut Body Lotion felt amazing on the skin! This unique non-sticky formula was more like a facial primer than a lotion. It evened out the skin’s surface and optically blurred imperfections, which made the skin appear smoother. The fragrance was absolutely delightful: rich, enveloping, spicy-sweet, and almost edible. My skin smelled so good even my husband commented on it. He thought I was wearing a new perfume and was very surprised to find out it’s a body lotion.

Bottom line: I was very impressed with Strut 365™ product collection. This comprehensive portfolio of bath, body, skin care, and brow care products once again proves that European Wax Center® understands their guests’ needs. Strut 365™ product collection provides a unique opportunity to continue your in-Center experience at home and maintain gorgeous skin in between waxes.
