Review on πŸͺ„ GiGi All Purpose Honee Soft Wax: Effective Hair Removal for All Skin & Hair Types, 14 oz by Megan Marshall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Blood vessels burst and detached from a layer of skin

Okay, I knew softwax was sticky but I guess it was my fault for expecting it to dissolve in water. It is incredibly difficult to remove even with oil. I've had the best results trying to remove it with 90% alcohol. Since there isn't an easy way to remove wax, I wouldn't recommend this for beginners. I had the worst time trying to get the wax off my fingers, it was a miserable experience. Not only that, but after my first series of using this wax I noticed that it left weird purple marks that looked like an instant bruise or maybe a ruptured blood vessel? (See attached photos) He also tore off a layer of skin in two sections. Let me clarify that this was a streak in that area, it wasn't the result of double waxing the same area (which you should NOT do). It wasn't hot enough to burn me so I have no idea what I did wrong. To be honest I just can't stress enough how difficult this wax is to remove. Imagine parts of your skin feeling like you're trapped in a human-sized sticky trap, and you sit clammy and sweaty for ten minutes rubbing in the oil, trying to get rid of it. This is a very uncomfortable experience and if you put it on a towel or whatever, you say goodbye to that towel. I'm definitely sticking with the hard wax for now.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
