Beauty / Waxing / Ouch!!! No waxing for me!

Okay, so I guess if pain is your thing than this would be a wonderful product for you to try. I bought this about 3 months ago and was super excited because it didn't require you to heat up the wax. Well, I shave my arms and have forever. I am not sure why i started, but I do it either way.

I waited for my arm hair to grow out just a little so that it would have something to stick to. Then I went throught and made sure that I read all the directions cause I didn't wanna mess it up. I applied it to the top of my arm and put the strip over it. Then I pulled it off as it directed. It hurt prettyy bad, I have had worse pain, but it was up there. It got some hair, but not enought for it to be worth it. The kit says that the excess washed away with water, but it still took time. It left a large red spot on my arm and still left a lot of hair though.

I also tried it on my eyebrows. I think that the product worked really well, but it was hard to keep it in a specific spot. I was worried about ripping off my whole eyebrow.

All-in-all, I won't use it again. It wasn't the worst, but I will stick to shaving my arms and plucking my eyebrows.

  • Can't imagine the pain, it will forever keep me from even thinking about waxing. Give me a good razor, shave gel and tweezers and I'm all set. Thanks for sharing you adventure, can you laugh about it now?
