 It only works for eyebrows. Feb 26, 2007
By wax-girl
I love this product. Having said that, I can't give it five stars, because I don't think they are really tellig the truth about how it works best in the instructions. I heat this wax in a small pan of water on the stove, and use it with small cloth strips. Over-heating or getting water in the wax pot will make it foamy and ruin it. The soothing cream is great. I never use the tweezers or eyebrow stencils. For some weird reason, it only works for eyebrows and hairline. Face, lip and chin areas do not come clean with this wax.

 The BEST for the 'stache Oct 10, 2010
By PghYinzer
"more of myself after winter"
I guess your results with this are going to vary with what kind of hair you are dealing with. Not all facial hair is created equal.
If your problem is chin whiskery type hair - this isn't going to cut it. You would have to let it grow mortifyingly long for this to work. Maybe if you will have no contact with civilization for 3 weeks or so, this would be the way to go... but for that hair, plucking seems best if it's SERIOUSLY just a few, shaving or laser are your best bets if there's more than that.
I was, for reasons I don't understand, blessed with decent eyebrows. No unibrow, no crazy strays. I don't know why, I have crazy hair issues everywhere else (except my arms, which are also weirdly normal). So I have never attempted to do ANYTHING to my eyebrows. Off the cuff the thought of waxing them with this, though, seems messy and bound to go poorly. I don't even want to think about it.
What I use this for is my 'stache. Luckily, blonde, and fine, but it is prone to get weirdly LONG. Since the hairs are so fine, this seems to grab it easily, even when quite short, and then it stays away for months. Of course this is going to depend on how bad of a problem your lady 'stache is. And if it's whiskery type hair, see the chin hair commentary - this probably won't work.
For ME, it's perfect. Sugar type wax strips never seem to work, seems like the hair has to be long for sugar wax, but this grabs it all and grabs it in one pass. It's like the hard waxes shrink around even the tiniest fine hairs and yank 'em out. It takes a little practice to get it just so - spread just right, a tad thicker at the end so easier to grab - but once you do it's easy. And one package lasts for YEARS... I just put the wax back in the pot and use it over and over again. I think I have actually only bought this type of wax 2 times in about 9-10 years. Since the hair is so fine, it doesn't really impact the wax at all. You can just keep re-using it!

Best wax on the market Sep 06, 2010
By Mystic Moonstorm
"mysticmoonstorm"
This is the best wax I have found for removing facial hair (eyebrows, the annoying little chin hairs, etc). While it usually does take a little longer to warm up than the package instructions state, once warm it works wonderfully. An added bonus, it's the only wax I have found that does not make me break out - so for your sensitive skin types, this is the product for you. I won't use anything else.

 Messy and doesn't work well Jun 30, 2011
By M. Athar
I've been waxing my own brows for about 8yrs. Normally I use a salon quality wax with the cloth strips but I didn't have time to pick up a new one and I needed to wax now! I was in a local drug store and came across this, since I wasn't going to have time to get to a beauty supply store during the week I figured I'd give it a chance. It took nearly 3min to melt the wax in the microwave - and my microwave is powerful! By the time I was done the wax was nearly solid again and all along the top of the jar. I wasn't able to clean off the ready stick. And it's all over my nails and skin. Since I normally use honey wax I am able to wash of with warm water, this stuff is still stuck on my fingernails. On top of this I have a ton of fine hairs that are left behind - and I realize the packaging does say it needs to have grown for X number of days. I will say that it doesn't really hurt, but then again I'm used to waxing my brows. Salon quality wax gets the fine hairs. Hoping I can return it. If not, oh well. Lesson learned - stick with the real stuff.

Great, inexpensive wax for lip hair Jan 19, 2011
By Jillian M. Martino
"lilac dust"
I've purchased this wax 2 or 3 times in the past and absolutely love it. It works for about 2 weeks and the hair comes out smoothly and effectively. I haven't had any problems with getting the hair to come out on the first try. I can't give it 5 stars though, because it can get a little messy applying it (I have my "Monroe" pierced so it's gotten stuck on the ring a few times). Definitely worth a purchase if you don't want to deal with strips or a warmer; however look for it in stores if you don't want to pay 90% shipping.
