   Might be OK for face but NOT for legs. It will take you 3 years.

   Bought these for my Tween daughter to experiment with leg waxing (a leg wax here is 20 – 25 plus tip) but the strips are so small. Meant for face – maybe bikini or underarm but if you have coarse hair this won’t cut it.

   Cheap and easy to use and relatively benign.
   Comes with a teeny bottle of Azulene oil which our family dog promptly ate. Yuck.

   Good in a pinch but no HG.

   Works really well on fine facial hairs. I have a salon hot wax kit but tend to become too tired by the time my wax melts so this product saves the day since there is no prep work needed. I wouldn’t recommend using it in the bikini area since that hair is going to be too thick for this product. I would say after waxing with this product, i don’t need to wax the area for another 3-4 weeks. The box says 8 but that’s not the case for me.

   Editing my review: It wasn’t the oil that broke me out, it was the wax itself. I used it a few more times after I wrote this review and my breakouts got worse. Will not be using again.

   It did a really good job of removing the brow and forehead fuzz and hair, I used the hair dryer tip that I read in the reviews here. Only complaint is that the wax or the oil that is to be used after waxing broke me out 🙁 No big deal, I’m used to everything breaking me out due to my sensitive skin. Oh well, its worth it for the time it’ll be hairless.

   This product is god sent. I’ve tried everything to get rid of my unladylike mustache and this is the only at home wax that does it. And it lasts! And they have larger strips for my once again unladylike “happy trail” I love this.

   I tried using this last night and it ended up being tossed in the trash. I used a couple of strips just to get one small area of facial hair, and it may have pulled out two hairs total. Not good! I ended up with a slight rash… and today my skin just feels raw from trying to get the stuff to do what it claims. I followed the directions and even warmed it a little more with the dryer, but this stuff is just crap. The only SH hair removal product that I’ve ever liked is the spray-off foamy one.

   I typically get my brows and lip waxed at a little nail salon I frequent, but I still have these strips on hand for those in-between times when I need a touch up. Since I’m sort of a spaz when it comes it doing my own brows, I only use these strips for my lip and my finger (I have overly furry digits for some reason). Thus far I’ve been fairly pleased with these but again, I’m not attempting to remove any hair from a large area. I have pretty stubborn hair to begin with so I’m not even going to attempt to try to wax my legs or bikini area with these.

   I took the advise of another MUA reader here and started warming the strips up with a hair dryer which has made a world of difference. When I was warming these strips up as instructed, I never got all the hair off and ended up pulling my skin. I would then have to try to pluck the stray hairs out with tweezers which is painful when done in the lip area.
   The only downside is these strips leave behind a ton of wax. Even if you use the oil supplied, you still have to thoroughly clean the area you wax and there is STILL wax left behind.

   Also, most people do break out after waxing because wax is irritating to your open skin follicle. Instead of just letting the rash/zits (better known as contact dermatitis) run their course, wash the area after waxing (ensure that you get ALL the wax off), apply hydrocortisone cream to the area twice a day for about two to three days post wax and you won’t break out. Once I started doing that, I never got those little pus-filled zit around my mouth after waxing again.

    This product does not remove hair. It left a sticky residue on my face, that took 3 showers to wash off. Then again, it might work on other people, depending on the amount of wanted hair removal. I would not recommend this product, for anyone who simply hasn’t waxed in 2 weeks or more.
