100% Natural Sugar Wax Kit, Vegan, Hypoallergenic, No-heat Formula Waxing Sugar Paste, Includes 6 Wooden Spatulas, 10 Reusable 100% Cotton Strips, 1 Pre-wax Cleansing Soap & Sugar Wax 170g

Super product! I love the idea of waxing but I could never wax successfully and stress free (I first started with Veet strips, that left bruises on my skin and was a nightmare to clean up afterwards. I then found and tried sugar wax recipes online: they worked really well, but they take so much time for an uncertain result). I was looking for something that was healthy, easy to use and cheap, and found it all in this kit! The added touches of sustainability with the cotton strips and just the natural recipe made this even more perfect. As I explained, I’m really not a pro in waxing and had maybe done it like 4 times in my life before trying this, and I managed to use it with no problem. Works perfectly on the legs (as seen in my beautiful picture). A bit less perfect on the armpits, and I bled a little but that’s because my hair had become so thick from all the shaving so I’m not too worried about that, pretty sure the next few times will be fine. I am yet to try on my bikini area but I’m looking forward to it (whereas I dreaded this part with other waxes). One pot of wax can probably last for only one waxing of each of these accumulated body parts (so both legs, armpits as well as bikini in total once). The only negative point that I have found is that since the strips and applicators are reusable, I don’t really need to buy the full kit again, but I can’t seem to see an option of just buying the sugar wax for my next “session”. It would be a shame if I always had to buy the full kit, as the whole point of it is that its components are reusable. The other small issue was just that my room temperature was never enough so I had to go heat up the wax a few times during use, but I assume that it’s because of the general UK weather (I believe this is an Australian product so it’s normal that their room temperature is hotter).

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this time I just had to. I’ve always struggled with hair removal, particularly on my upper lip as I have extremely sensitive skin. I’ve tried wax strips, threading, shaving, and eventually I just started plucking each hair individually - yet still each method came with its own consequences and a few very embarrassing rashes. HOWEVER, I think I’ve just found my new holy grail - super easy process, managed to remove all in one go hairs after I tried it out a few times and formed my hand, very minimal pain - and the best part? Absolutely no irritation whatsoever!! My skin was only slightly red for 15 mins max, and after that it looked perfectly fine - no rash, no bumps, nothing out of the ordinary. If I can offer you one word of advice, it would be to apply some baby talc on the area you wish to wax as it absorbes all moisture and makes everything a lot easier. If you have sensitive skin and are wondering whether to try sugaring out or not - please do give it a try, and hopefully your experience will be as delightful as mine.

As a self waxing beginner, I honestly didn't know what to expect. re: my legs - I always go to a lady that gives me the basic full leg and bikini wax. I'd say my pain threshold is slightly above average, so much so, I was able to do this by myself. I've used wax strips before now, but usually, they've been to only do my ankle area so my leg hair doesn't peep through the gap between my socks and pants! The product itself comes as described - a tub of wax, the sticks to apply, the cotton strips to remove, and a bar of 'pre-waxing' soap. I followed the instructions by cleansing my legs first. The wax itself wasn't warm enough to scoop up on the stick - so I popped it in the microwave for 15 secs. I found as I went along, that the consistency needed to be runnier than I initially thought and I needed to keep popping to the microwave to keep it runny enough to apply the right amount. Having watched several youtube videos of self waxing, I'd seen how to dip the stick, scoop it up and apply - and it worked as it should. Bearing in mind that I had full lockdown leg hair length- the wax removed it all from the root. I'd say the pain itself is the exact same as you'd get from a salon using normal wax and in my opinion. I've also seen reviews of this product where a lady uses her fingers to apply as a sugar wax would normally be applied - so perhaps this product is more versatile than you'd expect?!?!? I am just a beginner and my technique reflects that! My legs were left red and blotchy - which is normal for me. Any residue came off in the shower straight after, and my legs this morning were lovely and soft. This is where the product stands out for me. There was little to no residue in the first place, and my legs recovered quicker than from 'normal' wax at a salon. Finally, the pot itself only did half my legs - so from the knee down. I would need a bigger pot for a full leg! Overall - id recommend this product, but would stress to read and follow the instructions - no short cuts! esp when using the microwave to heat and then put on your skin!

I'm an experienced waxer, I use a hard wax and heater. However, I'd read about sugaring and watched a few videos and was intrigued to try something that's supposedly gentler, less painful (although I find hard wax fairly painless) and supposed to cause less ingrown hairs. Firstly after researching sugaring techniques and learning that it's supposed to be applied against the direction of the hair growth and pulled off with the hair growth, I was surprised to find the instructions on this product were the same as waxing (applied with growth, pulled off against). I was under the impression that the reason ingrown hairs are less likely with this is because of the direction the sugar is supposed to be pulled, meaning that it will encourages hair re-growth in its natural direction. Secondly, the consistency was too thin and sticky. Not runny enough to apply for strip waxing and not hard enough to use for the ball and flick method. And there's no way I'm heating it up, I might as well use my normal wax. Lol. It's also has left my skin sore, bruised and red and barely took the hair out of the root. It arrived mostly stuck to the foil lid so a lot of product was lost. I would love a refund because this is awful and a complete waste of money, but as I've opened it to try it I'm not sure how likely that will be.

I don't want to spend tons money in salons anymore, and £60 for a wax is a lot! So, I thought I'd try home waxing again, although I seem to remember past experiences with strips haven't been great. But this comes pretty cheap and with good reviews so I thought I'd give it a bash. Ok, it's very sticky. Next time I'll heat it a bit but it's OK to spread once you get the hang of it, plus the current heat wave probably helped too. The wax did my legs ok and I was able to reuse the strip a good few times. Pretty much painless as you can pull the skin really taut and the hairs all grow in the same direction. Bikini line. Fine, a slight pain but very manageable and far less than I'd feared. Took out all the hair but this time spreading was hard. The wax became very sticky and I couldn't reuse the strip more than once or twice. Also, here it's OK to pull the skin firmly enough to ease the pain and get good results. Once I started sweating from the effort, heatwave, perceived pain etc, my skin became a bit wet and waxing became impossible as you need dry skin to do this. Labia and underarms. It says on the packet to really look carefully what direction the hair grows (and not do your genitals, ahem). That's an impossible task in these places - as is to get the skin taut enough. Hair still remains there but at least I've got nice legs and can wear bikini bottoms with confidence! I've rinsed the strips with warm water and they're as good as almost new - the edges fray a lot. I'd say this is a great product for the money, especially for the bikini line and legs. However, you can't really get a Brazilian with this, in case that's what you were hoping for.

Works very well, the only thing to note is that taking the protective film off the pot will be very messy. I heated it for 10 secs after opening as it was cold and it was the perfect consistency, hardly had to go over any areas as it took all the hairs up at the root

Throughout this quarantine season I have tired out three different waxing techniques to give my self a full Brazilian wax that would mimic the one I get at the salon. The 1st one: Veet body waxing strips- a huge flop. They would not grip on to the skin properly and were a huge waste of time. Because they didn’t grip the hair properly, the hair snapped at the root (no roots were seen) practically mimicking shaving, and caused me to have Severe bumps that were worse than any I had ever gotten with shaving; the hair also grew back within a week. Secondly I used the Nads Brazilian and bikini wax (hard wax no strips)- this was horrific. I wax was either too soft and rip when I was pulling it off (very painful on the lady region) or too hard to pull off and nearly took my skin with it. It was also imposible to remove if spread too thin; basically there was no room for mistakes! Finally I discovered this wax after reading a list of top at home waxing kits, and it has been the best one I have used so far. I will be sticking with it and may not even go back to the salon. It definitely works better when warmed up and they should probably include more strips, but the strips are ‘reusable’ and if you do run out you can always just cut up an old t-shirt. 100% would highly recommend this product

Ive never sugared at home myself but ive been a fair amount of times to professionals to know how its done. This kit had mixed reviews so I took a risk. It was okay, but it didnt pull out much. I tried it on my knee and you couldnt see where i'd waxed. I could see some hair on the cotton strip but it'd have taken me years to do a bikini wax! It kind of just slid off the hair
