Pleasantly surprised!
I never really write reviews on anything but I’m so amazed at how simple this wax was to use. I’m going on holiday in a few days and thought I’d save a bit of money by waxing myself. I’ve tried wax strips before and it hurt so much also took around 3 hours. Using this wax I was finished within half an hour and managed to get all the hair. I highly highly recommend.
All Hair Gone!
This product worked great! I used it on my lip area, even though the instructions probably advised against it, because that’s where my most stubborn hair grows. Removing the hair was Extremely PAINFUL, but it removed everything completely and left my skin smooth. The results were excellent, but the pain was intense doing so!
I never usually leave reviews however I’m so impressed that I had to! I’ve tried sooooo many wax’s over the years that Ive not got on with, they’re too thick, dry too hard causing the strip to snap when pulling off and just really messy. This wax was a dream to use, really silky to apply, a good consistency, not too thick, and with minimal mess. I’m a DIY waxer as the salon prices are just ridiculous, and I found this really easy to use. Buy it girls!
Update
Ordered this for the second time, now bought some of those waxing stripes too, as i am still experimenting home waxing. It is SO much better results with the stripes. I admit, I use more wax with the stripes but I now can do a full Hollywood wax at home. Next adventure is to try the home made sugar wax
I’ve been going to the salon for hollywood wax for years, it is not cheap, but i feel it’s essential. i tried couple of wax before, none of them seemed to be good, either too liquidish or just didnt stick to the skin properly. This wax is great. you pop it in the micro, a minute or two are ready to apply. I’ve used it twice now for hollywood and i am very happy. with the fraction of the salon’s price it gives the same result. I’ve seen some reviews people saying it’s not working, I suspect they just dont know how to apply / peel off, it IS working and working well. No more 30 hollywood salon wax for me.
I did a whole Hollywood with this wax- it’s very good- easy to use but takes practice. I’ve been waxing for years. I also go to salons to get waxed. Tried this to save money- so impressed!!! Two things to remember- spreading a thin amount is not easy to peel back off so you need to get the spread right and that will come with practice. Also it’s sticky so the temperature has to be a bit hot as it begins to cool fast! I didn’t find it painful. Also it works so well on coarse Asian hair they only give three wipes for after care which is not enough. It can be tricky to remove if tiny bits are left on, but I found a bit of baby oil helped. I would highly recommend this for anyone who feels confident to wax themselves.
The reviews on this product seem to fall into 2 categories, those who are new to it (and mostly hate it) and those who have used it for a long time (and love it)
I have used it for 18 months now and I wouldn’t use anything else. That doesn’t mean my first time was easy, but for once I learned from my mistakes! The wise guidance given on other reviews should be followed. Namely, IGNORE the instructions.
A full pot does take about 4 mins in the microwave but you should check it often (I’ve melted a pot before now!). Make sure you stir it, to even out heat distribution, and always test on a non sensitive area first.
And “Yes!” expect to reheat it a few times. Remarkably, wax sets unless you keep it warm! A full wax now takes between 1 or 2 reheats, but it used to take me 4 or 5 when I first started using it.
If this is your first time using wax yourself then start small until you get a feel for it. The spatula is great for applying the wax, although the thin one in the pack is next to useless. Having applied a small area of wax you must wait until it has only just set before ripping it away (you can test by carefully tapping the applied wax). It is a good idea to ‘roll up’ a small edge of the wax whilst it is still soft, to give you a point to hold onto when you pull. If you leave the wax to set for too long it will break as you pull, which is irritating and more uncomfortable. Once you know what you are doing you can make the sections you wax larger.
Overall hair removal is excellent. The whole process is much easier if you have a willing helper, but failing that invest in a good mirror, bright light and yoga lessons! A few sheets of kitchen roll on a towel are a wise precaution as you tend to be a bit messy when you first use it.
The wax itself smells lovely and causes no irritation to my skin (nor to my other half, who has stoically braved a wax!). There are just enough ‘after wax’ wipes for the size of the pot and they are very effective at removing small wax residue and calming the skin. Any redness I have experienced has always died down in under 24 hours. If you find you dont have enough wipes then some baby oil on a kitchen towel works very well.
As for the various ‘stick on’ shape templates…….well they are pretty useless. They don’t stay on as you wax, so my advice would be to use them as a template and draw round them with a felt tip pen (even permanent marker gets removed with the enclosed after wipes). It really is much easier and is also a great tip if you want to create your own design as it allows you to check before you start waxing.
Overall, it’s great, but does require patience. I just wish they hadn’t removed the lid from the wax pot. At least when it had one I could confidently carry the wax from the microwave to upstairs. Clearly they think we should all wax our bits in our kitchens! And always remember…..NEVER leave the application stick in the wax when you’ve finished. You can’t get it out and it burns if you try to microwave it in the pot!
