Parissa Warm Wax Hair Removal Waxing Kit, Professional Strength for Body Waxing, 4 fl oz (120ml) Wax, 3 Spatulas, 20 Strips & 8ml Azulene Oil

First of all - it works. Very well indeed. I used it for facial waxing, and it hardly irritated my skin at all - the slight redness has already gone half an hour later, without having to use ice or powder to soothe it. (Caveat: other people's skin will vary.) But I have learned a lot in my first attempt at using the wax! Of course, these hints won't all apply to other parts of the body. 1. It took 2.5 minutes in the microwave on high before it reached the consistency of runny honey, after being stirred. The upper part can appear nice and runny while the lower part is still very stiff, so stirring and re-heating is essential. 2. Wear disposable gloves. Removing bits of wax from under my fingernails was very tedious. 3. For facial waxing, cut the long paper strips into smaller pieces in advance, so that you have a fresh, non-sticky, piece for each section of waxing. 4. If you will be leaning over the wash-hand basin to peer into the mirror as you wax, fill it with cold water first, so that drips of wax will "set" in the water and can be lifted out, rather than stick to the enamel of the basin from which they will have to be scraped off. 5. The tiny phial of blue oil which comes with the wax is effective at removing any remaining wax from the skin (although not so good on nails, basin, clothing etc.); but the vegetable (rapeseed) oil which I always have in the kitchen was just as effective, and will be very much cheaper. 5. Wear a plasticised apron, from which the wax can be wiped or scraped later - fortunately I have one in the house which I rarely use, which will now come in handy. I dripped some wax on my T-shirt, which is now soaked with oil in an attempt to remove it, and I doubt whether the oil stain will ever come out in the wash. I don't intend to destroy a T-shirt at every waxing! But overall I am very pleased with this wax, and will certainly continue to use it.

C'est une cire professionnelle qui est à la fois douce et très efficace. Juste un petit bémol le prix. mais quand même un rapport qualité/prix très satisfaisant

Like many other people in the world with body hair, I also embarked on the journey of attempting to wax myself during quarantine. After experimenting (mostly unsuccessfully) with drug-store cold wax strip and cooking my own sugar wax, I gave this wax a chance. I am here to share the wisdom I've collected over the last few very adventurous months. Get a wax warmer: Running to the microwave mid wax session is a nightmare, not to mention the money wasted if you dare microwave 7 seconds too long and end up with a rock-hard substance. Dedicate a towel to waxing: The wax is unbelievably sticky. It will reliably stick to the stubbornest of hair, but it will also (again reliably) stick to bedsheets, t-shirts, and any other unsuspecting household fabrics. Dedicate a towel for this long-term relationship with self-waxing sessions. Keep Corn starch or baby powder on hand: Helps to keep skin dry, but also great for preventing a transfer disaster. Any spills on the aforementioned towel should be powdered before they accidently stick to your elbow, and the pillow, and the wall... Mineral/baby oil: The provided oil works great if you are the size of Tinkerbell. It won't suffice for full-body. Have an oil backup to remove residue after waxing. Do not get up to walk the long journey to the bathroom while contaminated with sticky wax residue on any part of your body. Work swiftly with a steady hand to avoid dripping. (Surprise: Takes practice) Once you get the hang of it, waxing will be a practically-drip free experience. Caution around delicate skin: Did I mention this wax is sticky? It will pull off layers of skin from *delicate* areas. With that said, some tips will increase the odds of a successful wax down under. - Cut the strips into sections, and work with very small areas of skin. Be patient, your skin will thank you. - Get over the fear. Don't count to 10. Just pull the damn strip. Any hesitation will be enough time for the wax to cool down and rip off skin. - Use a mirror and find a comfortable position. The more comfortable and confident you are, the more successful the experience will be. In all honesty, I have grown to love this wax and can not see myself going back to salons. Once you are experienced enough, one tub of wax (and maybe two hours including cleanup) will cover for a full-body session. Congratulations on making it to the end of this review. You are now equipped with the knowledge to become a self-waxing goddess (or however you identify your new superpower). Happy grooming!

I have course hair that grows back very quickly. I shave my legs, and they're "prickly" by the next morning. I have spent a greater chunk of my life trying to find a solution to my hair problems. Shaving has been what I have done mostly in the past (for my legs). Recently I have gotten tired of buying expensive razor cartridges that cost me about $35 at Costco. I started experimenting with waxing my legs. Great results so far. I just went and got a sally hansen microwave wax kit and it has worked well for a few months. I have heard about Parissa wax, and decided I would try it. First off, the wax seemed of much higher quality than the sally hansen one. It seemed to grab the shorter, prickly hairs (hair grows in cycles, and I am NOT waiting until all of my leg hair is 1/4 in long...GROSS). The wax lasted for a greater area, and I used less strips. This is a really easy product to use, and I plan on buying more. A half-leg wax at a salon costs about $35 here + tax and tip. I bought the sally hansen wax for $11 with a coupon. And the Parissa wax has gotten it down even further at roughly $9.75! I use a razor every once in a while to get some missed spots or if I'm in a rush...I think I'll be using 4 or less a year at this point. So, all around great money saver. I love not having to worry about being prickly when someone brushes up against my leg!

Excellent product first time using this wax, I used on chin & upper lip, great job pulled out most of my hairs & my hairs are quiet course! easy to use & the wax strips are so good you get a good amount! Would defo recommend this product so far the best I've used. I've tried wax strips in the past nothing works, only this product so far!
