Sugaring Paste for Bikini, Legs, Brazilian, Arms and Back - 12oz by Sugaring NYC

So to begin, I of course read the reviews prior to purchase, and naturally I reverted to YouTube for a sugar waxing tutorial/ ‘how to’, following delivery of the product. Listen, I gotta tell ya, I am SO SATISFIED with this product! I usually use the Veet wax strips which have been just fine for a long time, but the sticky residue gets annoying after a while and for some reason I noticed that my hair doesn’t grow back as SLOWLY or grow back faster when I use Veet verses when I go to European wax center for a leg wax. I think the ingredients may play a role but who knows.. Anyways, back to THIS product: a little goes a LONG way. I used two(2) small balls (one for each leg) and they lasted me the entire waxing duration. The scent is natural (sugar duh lol), not over whelming. Stickiness on fingers comes off in seconds from a rinse under warm water. I didn’t use gloves, didn’t find it necessary as this is a natural product and I really wanted to get a feel for it completely. Please be patient with yourself, go with the learning process and as you continue using you’ll recognize which/what techniques work for you. I do agree, the ‘flicking’ technique I found to be the most successful with sugar wax. This was my FIRST time and I completed my wax session feeling like a PRO lol!!! I did not decide to warm my wax at all, I know some tutorials have that option yet I didn’t find it necessary. I found the wax was pliable enough to scoop into your palm without having to warm it. I do believe the negative reviews were because people don’t follow direction and although I understand everyone is different and we all have different types of body hair within a range, I can assure you that simply following the do’s/don’ts help by a long shot lol. ( I’d also like to add that I have somewhat thick lower leg hair and I did wait a bit until my hair was very visibly noticeable before waxing.) Take your time, watch a YouTube video or two, you have nothing to lose. If you don’t like the product for whatever reason, return it (: Thanks for reading my long review lol!!! @ xobetina on ig if you have questions ;)

I normally do not write reviews, but I thought I would write one for this since the experience was so easy. The girl that would do my Brazilians recently moved and I had a bad experience from the person that replaced her - so I figured, why not try to do this myself. I prefer sugaring and when I have used hard wax in past it did not go well. I bought this, read a few online tips, and followed the instructions. Highly recommend watching a youtube video to get the method down. I heated the sugar past in the microwave for about 10 seconds, used about two fingers worth of sugar paste and went to work on my bikini area. Use baby powder first to dry the area, I think this helped tremendously with my results - apply going against the hair and remove going with the grain. The flick method was really the best way to do it. I was able to do this myself in about twenty minutes, relatively pain free and a fraction of the cost that I normally spend at the spa to get a Brazilian.

SUGARING NYC MAKES FABULOUS SUGAR WAXES! *But* Skin ripped on one of my underarms pretty bad. :( Never happened before with other waxes. Hard waxing for years = no ripping + no irritation + but some skin darkness so I recently (4 months ago) switched to sugaring exclusively Sugaring NYC Sugar Wax - in-salon version = no ripping + no irritation + perfect hair removal + no underarm darkness at all :D *THIS SUGARING NYC PASTE* = painful noticeable & slow to heal skin rip on one underarm (only tiny small rip on other underarm-no pain- barely noticeable) + some underarm darkness still + no irritation still **So I will be switching to the Sugaring NYC Medium Paste*** ——hopefully it will be gentler + deep enough to take away slight underarm darkness I get sometimes depending on the wax type. ***NOTE: I started a medication 2 months ago where side effect could be some skin thinning so idk if that is a factor in my skin ripping this time when I tired this version of sugaring nyc sugar wax.*** I’ll update the review next wax (* hopefully, if I remember*)

Worked well. Make sure to follow the heat directions! Anything over 5-10 seconds will burn the area. Easy to apply and remover. Better than some waxes I have tried.

This sugar paste is decent. It does remove hair very well and it is easy to wash off. But it does get super sticky after waxing for only like 3 minutes. It won’t want to flick off even after and while applying baby powder. It’s just frustrating because it’s a waste of money with how fast it gets really sticky.

Please don’t waste your money. This wax gets soo soft and sticky so quickly, that you can’t even wax with it. Room temperature, I struggled to get a ball out of the container. I made one small pass on my leg, then a second, and the wax was so soft and melted it was stuck to everything and unusable. I salvaged what I could and refridgerated for a few minutes. Then I had to add new wax to the cold ball and try again. Took forever to make any progress and you go through the wax so fast. My understanding was a ball of wax would go a long way. This is NOT the case with this brand/product.

Love this sugar paste. Have to use strips tho to remove it. Can't get that flick dow, lol.
