GiGi All Purpose Honee Roll-On Hair Removal Wax, Easy and Quick, Soft Wax Refill, 2.8 oz., Pack of 12

I really, really love this wax. I got the student starter kit around March and got this one to replace the wax I went through around August. So one can lasted me around 5 months, which is great. I use it for my legs and upper lip area and this wax works great on both.I really like the quality of this wax. I find it very easy to apply and I almost never have to go through the same area more than twice. With that being said, I've not used razors/creams etc. more than a few times in my entire life. I'm 26 and I've been getting waxed since I was 12/13. So having seen it done to me by professionals a billion times, I'm pretty familiar with the application. Since I had a great experience with this wax I thought sharing what I do could be helpful to some people/beginners out there.Consistency:The consistency is key. It should be like honey (I actually like it just a tiny bit thicker). Too thick = you'll get a bruise, too thin = you'll burn. I use the Gigi warmer that came with the student kit. When the can is full or 2/3 full, I warm it on high for 15 minutes. If it's half or less than half full, I heat it less (around 10 minutes). Which melts half of the wax and there is an unmelted lump of wax in the middle. The reason I do this is the top center always melts the latest and by then, the rest is too runny for my taste. Waiting everything to melt and turning the warmer off and waiting for a couple of minutes could also work, but I just don't have the patience. Depending on how long it takes you to wax, you might have to turn the warmer on/off a few times to keep the consistency.Exfoliate & Clean:Having your skin clean and dry is important. Lotions, water, sweat & oil etc prevents you from applying the wax evenly and even if you manage to apply, it doesn't really stick to your hair so it doesn't work. I also found that exfoliation beforehand helps a lot. It takes off the dead skin & exposes the hair better.Length of the hair:If you are a shaver, your hair gets thicker, so it becomes more noticeable. To get results from waxing, you might have to let go for a while (week / 2 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows) and try to live with it, so it gets long enough for the wax to actually pick it up. I had to shave a couple of times and in my case, my hair grows very slow so I had to wait 2 weeks after shaving. I generally wax every 3 - 4 weeks, because the hair in my legs are very thin and they aren't noticeable before week 5.Set-up:I've read a lot of reviews about wax being messy, and it is. With every soft wax that will be the case. What I do is to put a few paper towels/old newspapers between where I pick up the wax with the spatula/applicator and where I apply it, because sometimes accidents happen and it really is a hard task to remove it from surfaces. And I recommend using a collar with this wax.Test:The first thing I do with every new brand or type of wax is to test it in a small area. If you have sensitive skin or allergies I would definitely recommend doing this before anything else. A little bit of redness is normal, but stay away if it makes your skin itch, swell, bruise. I actually test the wax in a small area every time I wax to check the temperature and avoid burning myself.Powder (or don't):For the application, some people prefer lightly (key word being light) powder the area. I only use powder on my lips where I can control the amount of wax with my fingers. In my opinion, powder is only good with oily skin or on the areas you might be sweating. My skin is dry, so I don't really need powder on my legs. Also, overdoing the powder can make your job harder than it is, make it hard to apply the wax, create clumps and make the wax useless.Application:I usually get enough wax to lightly cover the tip (around 1 inch in length) of the applicator. I apply a thin and even layer of wax toward the direction of my hair. I cover a small area, & try to never to cover a larger area than my palm on one go. Applying the wax to a very large area is a huge mistake I've seen my friends do. Wax dries, by the time you get to it so it gets stuck on your body, but it doesn't stick to the strips and so you have a mess on your hands. The quality of the strips are also important. The strips I got with the kit really sucked, so I bought a roll of cloth strips. This way I can cut smaller pieces for my lip without wasting any material. Oh also, you have to pull the strips fast, and in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Pulling closer to your skin and pulling it really fast minimizes the pain.Pull your skin tight:In areas where your skin is soft and the surface isn't tight & flat (in my case soft and wobbly inner tighs), you have to pull the skin up and tighten the area before you pull the strips. Otherwise you might pull your skin with the strip, which is crazy painful and you'll definitely get a bruise. Trying to pull the strip slowly can also cause you to get a bruise.Get it off:I got a Wax-off with the student kit, but to be honest I only use it if my hands get sticky as I'm waxing. I like to use baby oil, which works way better than any cream that claims to remove wax from your body. I generally wait for an hour or two after I wax, get in the shower and use baby oil with warm water to take the remaining wax off.

Tengo años usándola ,. Ya se lo buena que es , para piel sensible a las cuchillas u otros métodos de depilado este con cera es el mejor método , no lo cambio a la hora de recomendarlo o uso personal o para mis clientas en su bigote, cejas , axilas piernas y pecho , y área del bikini.

Not broken, came complete! fit my machine that ive had for 4yrs i got a size 14oz wax cup…i use honey wax because its sensitive then other normal wax, and it take more hair off in 1 pull then other waxes, easy to use.

I have some thick facial hairs that are hard to remove. This wax works better than most, but still misses some of the thicker hairs.

This product is amazing. I usually use sally hanson and sadly they discontinued the one I usually use. I was reluctant to try something else as my skin is very sensitive but this wax is 10 times better. Left my arms feeling very smooth. It's been a few weeks and it still looks like I just had a fresh wax. Also my skin had no reaction. Absolutely love it!

I found this product due to its well loved reputation, clean and trustworthy formula, and reviews of little reaction from people with sensitive skin. This is my first time trying waxing, and as a person with a Lot of thick and dense body hair I thought it was worth giving this a try.It was very hard to find the proper consistency for this wax, but once I did it came off well. My skin is soft and smooth from the waxing itself, but the trouble came with just how sticky this wax is.There is wax everywhere. It is suck to my fingers, stuck to my clothes, stuck to my bathroom sink and the floor. It is stuck to my skin like gorilla glue. I’ve tried exfoliating, using the muslin strips, alcohol, warm compresses, oils, makeup wipes, and peeling it with my fingers but it is STUCK. The process of getting these little bits of wax off my skin has taken hours and it is still on my skin. The waxing itself didn’t damage my skin, but the process of removing the excess has left me with bruises in several areas.I’m certain this is user error. Professionals use this product, which is why I got it. But my god, I feel like I am trapped in a sticky hell of my own creation. I didn’t even finish waxing my legs but used half of this tin for only half of my legs. If you know what you’re doing, this product will be fine for you. But as a newbie I have caused more problems for myself than good.

Absolutely thrilled with my recent purchase of this wax! The texture is wonderfully creamy, making it a joy to use. Not only did it effectively remove my tan, but I also found it sufficient for two full leg and hand sessions. Plus, it's been a month since I last waxed, and my hair growth has been noticeably minimal. I’m definitely gonna buy this again. Highly recommend!

Got this as I grew up using soft wax and felt more comfortable using it than hard wax.Disclaimer: I am not a professional or a licensed estethician, I have only ever waxed myself - but this wax saved me TONS of money, plus gave me the convenience of waxing at home, whenever I feel like it.I do not have a wax warmer, I just put the wax pot in a pot of water on the stove (up until 2/3rds of height) and let the hot water melt the wax. It takes longer than the traditional method but it works and also saves $$$! My skin isn't particularly sensitive, didn't even experience redness using this wax. Nice scent too.Only con is: if you accidentally drop any or if it gets on your fingers, it's over for you. Baby oil/olive oil are the only things that will work, with love and patience. Hand sanitizer/rubbing alcohol will work in a pinch but less effective than oil.Remember: spread in the direction of the hair, pull against the direction of the hair, apply pressure as soon as you pull. Happy waxing!

Gigi wax is best for sensitive skin.Texture is so smooth easy to handle.Apply to skin is So smooth. Amazon need to reduce price for gigi.Compare than other stores Amazon price is so high.

The wax is really good and easy to use. You can easily use on sensitive areas too. I loved it and happy with it. I used it twice for full hands full legs underarms . Also for my sister for her full back wax and face wax and still the wax is there for next one time use of full hands n legs . Go for it girls.

La mejor cera sin dolor ni irritación, ampliamente recomendable.

Mis respetos esta preciosa cera! La mejor que he probado para depilación de Bozo y cejas… solo hay que tener cuidado al manejarla porque es muy pegajosa. El precio es el adecuado porque ninguna cera económica te brinda tqm buenos resultados como esta

It stick on my arm twice even it was melted properly. I had a bad bruise taking the wax out. Never using it again.
