I gave this product 4 stars because it worked great. I didn't give this product 5 stars because it hurts and after the first pull you feel very hesitant to do it again. I recommend that someone help you with waxing.
I used this in the pubic area and it worked great. It got the hairs all the way from the root bulb.
THis product is great because, you can just stick it on where hair is where it doesn't belong, and then just take it right off.After that just put the soothing gel over the spot where you waxed and your done!
I thought that this product worked pretty well. It completely removed my upperlip hair easily. Its easy to apply, but sometimes it doesn't get the smaller hairs. Its not really the products fault though because when you wax your hair is supposed to be a certain length. This worked very well for me, I don't understand the negative reviews at all.

I'm a 37 year old female who after using self tanners noticed that the skin above my top lip was darkened as were the "baby hairs" there. People started noticing my 5 o'clock shadow and I needed a quick, easy and cheap fix. [$] and 10 minutes later...Problem Solved! It was extremely easy to use, and the amount provided will last me a long time. The area was red for several hours, but the oil provided kept it from stinging and after a few hours all redness disappeared. I followed the very easy directions and could not be happier. I would suggest doing this at least one day before a big event to allow any redness to dissipate.
I don't like this product. It makes your skin very smooth, even though at times you have to apply more than once just to remove all the hair, which causes irritation and pain. It's hard to remove and the oil sheets that come with it that are supposed to help remove the product, well, they do work, but I feel like I still have the oil on my face after I wash it off. The hair grows back very quickly so I feel like I have to wax all the time to keep it off. The wax also only works well on thin hairs, so don't try using it on your legs or man stubble. On thicker hairs it pulls them, but doesn't yank them out so it's extremely painful.
I do eyebrows for my friends and myself and I use these strips to shape the brows. The strips are clear. Prior to warming them and peeling them apart, you can put them up against the brow to see where you would like your arch or where you would like to clean up the hair. Then you can create an outline using a wax pencil ( or eyeliner pencil). Next, you can cut the strips into any shape you want with a tiny pair of scissors after drawing an outline on the strip. Finally peel and apply. Remember to keep the skin firm but don't stretch out your eyes! That's how you get wrinkles! Also remember to do this to a CLEAN, DRY brows and skin. Apply the strip to the brow and slide your finger across the strip firmly in the direction of the hair growth. Alas, if you've over-heated the strip, you may want to let the strip cool a bit before pulling it off the brow quickly in the opposite direction. The great thing about it is the the other side of the strip is opposite, therefore is perfect for the other brow after you've shaped it. :) The result is clean and even, and it lasts a long time. This product comes with soothing oil. Dab a bit on a q-tip and apply it to the brow to get rid of wax residue and to calm the skin. If you have sensetive skin and are prone to breakouts I recommond washing your face gently with a nice lather to get rid of the oil. Don't over wax. Otherwise, you'll end up with broken and irritated skin. You know when you're over-waxing because it BURNS. Some people don't know when to stop. Remember, the wax is for pulling out the hair, not the first layer of your skin!

I just love this product. Ready made wax strips was a great idea. No mess and no clean up. Easy to use and great results. Mild irritation of skin, but the solution that comes alon with this works great to smooth skin. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. Cheap and best and quick to use.
This product works great! I've been using it for years. I use the strips on my chin, upper lip, and my upper bikini line. It's not messy like Sally Hansen's honey wax. What a mess and painful experience that was.
Used it an hour prior to going out and Had to cancel my plans (a month of planning) due to the deep red scar it left on my uni-eyebrow. The instruction warns you that it'll leave red skin but this is too much (5hrs after), plus it didn't removed a hair. If you really want to try it, Test it in hidden area.

This product is horrible! I used it for the first time when i did my eyebrows. At first it was working okay. Then a few days later, I started to break out in the area between my eyebrows where I had waxed. Then after that I contiued using it and it pulled less and less hair.
I have used this product for years on my lipline and bikini line and have never had any problems! So long as I heat the strips well enough (if often place them along the side of a tap running with hot water), it removes hair VERY well(i have quite a bit to remove!).
The instructions were simple enough, but the strips themselves barely work. They left me in a lot of pain with only a few hairs removed.

How long were you supposed to warm it?
Bad instructions.
Pulled maybe 2 hairs each time.
It'd be more efficent to tweaser each hair.
I'll pass on this again.
this stuff does NOT work!! its cheap but to cheap it sux and doesnt work on ANYTHING!!!!!
this product didn't pick up any on the hair. complete waste of money.
from Texas on 11/1/2007
Multiple trys to remove hair...Does not work...Look for alternative product. =/
I tried this product cause what I normally buy was not available(microwavable wax).....what a mistake and waste of money. Doesn't remove hair like you expect it to. Do not buy!
It will work if all your hair is growing in one direction. It does not pick the ones growing in their own way

I was going out of town on business, which meant I would not see my regular girl. She recommended this product and it works well. It does work best on short hair. And for those that are using for the first time it is little pain. Also, you have to remember to pull the hair in the opposite direction of growth or it will not work. Good product and easy to use even for a first timer.

this is a great product. But works best with short hair. It has minimal pain and has great results. I used it at night and woke up without any redness or pain. I would definetly recommend this.

I only use this product on my upper lip, and it works great! Although it doesn't last 8 weeks for me, it still lasts 4 weeks, which is longer than any other product I've tried. I use the product right before bed, and in the morning there's no redness. The oil that comes with the wax strips feels so good after waxing. It also removes all excess wax. I overall love this product!
from Prairie Village, KS on 7/18/2007
I Love these strips they're so easy to use and not messy at all. Just remember to rub your finger or hand over it and/or hold over to create warmth. When removing do a snap peel not a slow peel.

i bought this product not so long ago, and when i tried it, it didnt work. i did everything the instructions said and still nothing. so i thought i'd try the next day. [next day comes] i tried it again, and it just made my skin nasty. it made my skin dry and rough. for everyone thats reading the other reviews, dont believe them, they lying. This is a bad product. You really want to get hair off? then buy nair, and yes there is a face nair. Easy and leaves skin staying like a baby's bottom.
only good 4 face, othr than that no good 4 body hair...:)

This was my first time using a waxing type product, and wanted to do the area around the brows (underneath and toward the outer edge), and also my upper lip. Worked very well on the regular hairs of brows, but not the fuzziness on my upperlip.
I don't have much to compare it to in terms of pain, since I've only ever tried depilatory creams and plucking, but the pain from this is tolerable and subsides within minutes, and the residual redness and swelling is reduced to minimal within an hour. The moisturizing oil included is very nice, it removes the wax residue and also soothes the skin.
When I went to the store they were out of my usual bikini wax so I grabbed this one instead...Not too great if you want to remove your natural hair for the first time or you haven't been to a professional in a while. Although it didn't hurt very much, I was disapointed in the results--I had to go over, and over, and over the same areas until I finally gave up--and this was just on a "touch up" area...luckily I found some of my regular wax so I am sticking to that.

If you're tired of paying for a eyebrow wax at the salon every couple of weeks, you should definitely give these a try. It just takes a couple minutes, and you're good to go, and saves a lot of money!
This was my first time trying a wax product and I bought this for my bikini area. First I would like those contemplating the purchase of these strips to know that they are not all one size. There are probably two large sheets 4 medium sheets and the rest are small (for eyebrows). That was a litle disappointing but they do work on the bikini area. Unless you have a very small area to wax, you will need more than one strip. That got uncomfortable and I wasn not able to finish my bikini area in one day. The box also says that they are reusable but they are not as effective after the first waxing. On the positive the oil provided is a nice touch, it reduces irritation. Overall these were ok but I would only use these for facial areas.
