Not Bad For A First Timer...if Only I Could Withstand The Pain.I love love loveeee this product. It smelled good and was easy to heat up and use. While most people had to overheat it, I didn't have to. I guess it's cause my microwave sucks and doesn't have very high heat. I heated mine for thirty seconds and got that caramel consistency I wanted. Loved the pre-epilation oil, and didn't have to use the wax off stuff. The instructions were useless of course, so I had to do a little research first since I'd never waxed before. Wax went on and came off great; it only stuck to the hairs, not my skin! I only did some plucking afterwards. The oil definitely helps the hair come out easier. While I usually have a high tolerance for pain, this was NOT the case. I was in pain, that's for sure. I have course hair, so naturally that was no walk through the park. If I'd had the time, I would've rather sat there and plucked each hair one by one all night than to have to wax it off all at once, but I guess that's to be expected for a first timer. I just couldn't do it myself for some reason; I would psych myself out and make it hurt worse by going slowly. So the small little patch that I could barely go through with came out nice and smooth, no growth whatsoever so far. I could see how some people would complain about the kit being messy, but if you just pay attention to detail (like how long you heat the wax, how to keep the wax wadded up on the applicator, etc), it's really not that bad. I didn't make a mess at all, but of course, I could only take about three strips worth of pain. I can handle tattoos and piercings, but waxing? Oh no. So I ordered some No Scream Cream. I've heard a lot about it, so once that comes in, I'll use that and take some aspirin beforehand and try again. Hopefully I won't punk out next time because the little patch I got is baby smooth. Feels great to have soft, stubble and ingrown-free skin. Hope to take everything off next time around. ;)posted Jan 16, 2012Link to this post -

Surpassed Expectations!I just started getting Brazilian waxes done and went about five times to a professional. I would recommend doing this before waxing yourself. The reason being that the hair starts to grow back in much finer and makes it easier to do yourself. Also, you can kind of see/feel the way the professional does it first.
I was totally blown away by how well the GiGi stuff worked. I was WAY less sensitive and did not get nearly as much post-waxing irritation as I did at the salon. I didn't find it to be all that messy (I sat on a bunch of paper towels which worked well) and kept the wax on a candle warmer during the process. Incredibly impressed with the results and can't believe how much money I am now saving by doing it myself.
Also, I would highly recommend getting the kit first and then going back and getting the individual items as needed.
Lastly, I would also recommend getting the PFB Vanish Ingrown Hair Treatment Roll On Gel if you have trouble with bumps after waxing, as I did. Works great!posted Dec 14, 2011Link to this post -

Doesn't Take Off Like It Should.No. I liked the idea of getting rid of the unwanted hair for a longer period of time. I couldn't believe that you've got to go over the same area like 3-4 times just to get most of the hair off from an area. I spent enough for this stuff right after my b day and than it didnt even really work, and on top of it caught the bottom of the jar on my kitchen counter and got burned on my hand. I wont be buying anything else. Oh and that was from following the wax jars heating instructions.posted Oct 7, 2011Link to this post -

Best Result With A Little Help!I bought this wax, awhile ago n I have used it ever since! IF U HAVE WAX LEFT ON UR SKIN N CAN'T GET OFF, JUST SIMPLY USE BABY OIL TO REMOVE IT!!! N for best result and to maximize hair removal use baby powder on the areas in which u wish to wax! Enjoy!posted Mar 11, 2011Link to this post

Unbelievably Awful - Useless!I am floored by the good reviews of this stuff! It is unequivocably awful. Stringy, impossible to apply, and worse than that, it simply doesn't work. Left most of the hair behind. Tried it repeatedly with the same results. The instructions are worse than useless and maybe I did something wrong, but I don't think so. I think this product is just cheap crap.posted Mar 11, 2011Link to this post -

Don't Waste Your MoneyAfter careful consideration....and reading everyone's reviews....I should have just saved my money. I have tried this product 3 different times and followed the directions very carefully. It doesn't get very much of the hair at all. You would have to go over the same area several times before getting it all and that would irritate your skin way too much. Not only that, but it is sooo time consuming. I will definitely pay to have a professional take care of all my hair removal needs!posted Mar 3, 2011Link to this post

All I Can Say Is... Wow!!!So I was alittle hesitant, as some people were burnt by the wax, etc. I read the reviews and still wanted to try it. afterall, so many people are still raving about it. just FYI I do understand what people are saying about the wax "expoding" when trying to mix the wax. I accidently microwaved the wax longer than instructed... about 3 minutes and took it out, and pushed the wax in to mix it and it splashed. instruction clearly told me not to microwave it longer than a minute... anyway, it also stated not to use the wax till it was honey like consistency so I waited to wax. results were better than professional/ salon. I LOVE it. my results were cleaner, not as painful. SERIOUSLY! I am going to repurchase. the best wax i've tried EVER.posted Feb 16, 2011Link to this post

Finally!This is a great alternative to salon waxing! Probably the equivalent to the 'sensitive' or 'painless' option that they give you in the salon. Mind you, it's not completely painless, (that would be too good to be true), but from my waxing experiences, and compared to other do-it-at-home-Brazilians that I've tried, this is the least painful of them all. Messy - yes, but worth every penny. Best to line the floor with newspaper or something so as not to ruin it with dried wax that takes forever to come off (learned my lesson the hard way). Might be a little difficult for first timers - well, more than difficult if you've never had a wax before. It certainly does take some getting used to. But bottom line is, it works great and is absolutely doable yourself and for the price, you save yourself a lot of money in comparison to professional waxing. I should probably do what many of the other reviewers have suggested and purchase wax strips to go with this, but I've been lazy. It might be a good idea. You can still do it without them, as I have many a time, and achieve great results!posted Feb 12, 2011Link to this post
