4 out of 5 stars A Good Spa Wax for the Price   June 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I used to go to a spa every month to get my legs waxed. Shaving irritated my skin too much and hair removal creams didn't have the long lasting effect that results from waxing (plus it's very messy!).
After trying several brands of home waxing kits, Sally Hansen's Lavender kit has become my preferred choice because it has the best value when it comes to price and effectiveness.

Why I like this product:
- One tub of wax easily lasts through two full waxings (arms AND legs) plus several minor waxes (underarm and face).
- Compared to other brands (like Nair's microwavable wax) this one is strong enough to remove short or thin hairs without repeat applications.
- The formula has a pleasant smell and is gentle enough so as not to cause prolonged irritation (you will get redness after the wax, but the oil helps soothe your skin faster).
- After prolonged use, the hair will grow thinner or even stop growing in some areas!

Complains about this product:
- Like it has been stated before, it is a mission to clean up the wax once it's spilled on clothing, countertops, or other surfaces; just try to be extra careful when applying.
- I wouldn't recommend this wax if you're planning to wax deep in the bikini area... you need to make sure your skin is taut during application and once the wax is stuck there clean up is not as easy as soap and water. For this kind of waxing seek a pro (or a talented friend).
- The wax needs constant reheating. I also used to be annoyed about having to run back to the microwave during waxing, but that was finally solved by placing the wax tub on a candle jar warmer Ganz Inc EJ6826 Jar Candle Warmer. Heat up the wax once, then place it on the warmer and it will keep the right consistency.
- Not enough strips. Even if you are reusing the strips as much as possible, you will probably fall short on sheets. Just buy an extra pack of strips at your local beauty supply, like SALLY'S. I use these GIGI Large Muslin Strips 100-ct. 9" x 3".
- The jar lid gets stuck. Just don't try to screw it back on... once you've used the product, tap it on so u know it's closed and store the container in an upright position.



4 out of 5 stars Messy But Worth It!   June 16, 2008
This is my first time waxing my arms i thought why not go for it! I purchased this product and im pleased. I already knew waxing would hurt which mind you it does...However once your all done and you see the results its so awesome. It is a bit messy though and i ran out of strips. The oil that comes with it didn't do much really but i used baby oil to clean up the excess wax off my skin and it worked great!


1 out of 5 stars MISERABLE!   June 4, 2008
This is the worst wax I have ever used. Not only does it not come off, but it tore my legs apart. It left my legs bruised from scrubbing the wax off with both the oil provided and soap and water.


1 out of 5 stars Messy and Ineffective   May 25, 2008
I'm new to waxing and bought this for my legs and bikini area. Regardless of how thick or thin I spread on the wax, it did a poor job and the paper strips did not remove all the wax from my skin. It was not as painful as I expected for a wax product, but left behind a sticky purple residue that would not come off with the oil included in the kit or soap and water. I followed the directions carefully and was left with a huge mess and little hair removal.


5 out of 5 stars Follow the directions   May 11, 2008

To those who trashed this item I can only say, read the directions. Wax should be heated for a few seconds only. Anything more than 10, and the wax gets too hot. You must always test the temperature before attempting to use the wax.

That said, this is a fabulous product, that as one other reviewer notes, beats spas and salons by 10 country miles. I wish it were easier to find on store shelves.
