Review on 🌸 Gentle and Nourishing: GiGi Azulene Hair Removal Wax for Soft & Smooth Whole Body Results - 13 oz. 1-Pack by Justin Yay

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Sticky, dirty, dripping but did the job. AP honey is better. Not suitable for facial hair

You know, I actually gave the heating pad a bad review because I thought it was a bad heating pad, but now I understand that it's not a heating pad, but it actually is it wax, that's the problem. When I received the package, the wax jar had initially tilted to the side. Which is usually a good thing because I know things get thrown around during shipping, plus it doesn't look like a leak or anything. So I figured no problem, I'll just take the cover off. It took 10 minutes to remove the lid because the wax was stuck to the lid and was so thick, hard and sticky. In fact, he bent the cap when I took it off, I didn't even have time to use the wax at that moment and he was already on my hand and under my nails. So I just threw the lid away because it started sticking to everything. I figured if I just heat it the problem would be solved. Well I set the warmer to 245 which is the highest setting and it took 30 minutes to get reasonably useable. When I touched it, it was very hot but still unbearably sticky. I would say it's almost the same consistency as hard wax. So I melted and melted it until it was as liquid as possible. Every time I take the chopstick out of the pan, it leaves as much fibrous residue as spaghetti on a fork. Except that this "wax getti" was just endless and dripping constantly, which was a mess. Now for the functionality. It really got most of the hair off my skin. However, I noticed that I could only use the strip once and there was almost no double crochet left for the second draw. I was able to get a lot more single strip draws with the Universal Honey Strip. And here I could hardly reuse a strip. The biggest problem I had was the stickiness because when I applied the wax to my face, "wax threads" formed on my face. And it got on my hair and my eyebrows, it was a mess! Due to the thickness, it was very difficult for me to apply a small amount on my face to epilate under/above my eyebrows. So in order not to take off more of my brow than I want, I would have to apply the wax over the desired area I'm removing, otherwise when I put the strip on, the wax will expand down and then it'll hold my entire forehead off . Housekeeping was terrible. It turned out that the remains of the sticky thread were scattered all over the floor and I had to oil the floor and use old cards to scrape off the wax. this is not good. I would give this oil one star but I'm giving it 2 because it really removes hair. But I would recommend everyone to just use honey wax and get over it.
