I guess your results with this are going to vary with what kind of hair you are dealing with. Not all facial hair is created equal.

If your problem is chin whiskery type hair this isn't going to cut it. You would have to let it grow mortifyingly long for this to work. Maybe if you will have no contact with civilization for 3 weeks or so, this would be the way to go... but for that hair, plucking seems best if it's SERIOUSLY just a few, shaving or laser are your best bets if there's more than that.

I was, for reasons I don't understand, blessed with decent eyebrows. No unibrow, no crazy strays. I don't know why, I have crazy hair issues everywhere else (except my arms, which are also weirdly normal). So I have never attempted to do ANYTHING to my eyebrows. Off the cuff the thought of waxing them with this, though, seems messy and bound to go poorly. I don't even want to think about it.

What I use this for is my 'stache. Luckily, blonde, and fine, but it is prone to get weirdly LONG. Since the hairs are so fine, this seems to grab it easily, even when quite short, and then it stays away for months. Of course this is going to depend on how bad of a problem your lady 'stache is. And if it's whiskery type hair, see the chin hair commentary this probably won't work.

For ME, it's perfect. Sugar type wax strips never seem to work, seems like the hair has to be long for sugar wax, but this grabs it all and grabs it in one pass. It's like the hard waxes shrink around even the tiniest fine hairs and yank 'em out. It takes a little practice to get it just so spread just right, a tad thicker at the end so easier to grab but once you do it's easy. And one package lasts for YEARS... I just put the wax back in the pot and use it over and over again. I think I have actually only bought this type of wax 2 times in about 9-10 years. Since the hair is so fine, it doesn't really impact the wax at all. You can just keep re-using it!

I love this product. Having said that, I can't give it five stars, because I don't think they are really tellig the truth about how it works best in the instructions. I heat this wax in a small pan of water on the stove, and use it with small cloth strips. Over-heating or getting water in the wax pot will make it foamy and ruin it. The soothing cream is great. I never use the tweezers or eyebrow stencils. For some weird reason, it only works for eyebrows and hairline. Face, lip and chin areas do not come clean with this wax.

Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Micro Eyebrow-Lip & Face Wax

I have used this microwave wax for roughly 1.5 years. It is very easy to use and saves a TON of money from getting this done at the salon. I think I paid around $4.50 or $5.00 for this at the drug store and would pay around 3 times that ($14-$18) for a professional wax.

I have read through a few of the lower rated reviews and would like to address a few of the concerns with this product:

1. Heating Yes, you have to heat it for longer than it says. Usually, I will heat mine for about 3-4 minutes each time I use it. I stir it up for about 30 seconds and I'm good to go. I take a small amount on the ready stick, let it cool for about a second and apply.

2. Consistency This is simple...if it's too thin, let it cool a bit. If it's too thick, you probably need to heat it a bit more or it's been overheated (if this is the case, you'll probably need to get a new one).

3. Difficulty NO ONE is a pro at anything right off the bat. We need to keep in mind that people attend classes to get used to this! My first time using this I was quite nervous and it took me about 30 minutes to finish both of my eyebrows but by the 3rd time I used it, I was done in 5. Take it slow, figure out your rhythm and you're good!

4. The smell No the best thing I've ever smelled (kind of bees-waxy-honeyish), but it's not like you're wearing it. You slap it on and pull it off 5 seconds later.

5. It doesn't remove hair This has always removed all of the hair I've used it on. I think that some of the negative reviewers might not have pulled the skin tight and removed the wax in the opposite direction of the hair growth. If you pull it out WITH the hair growth, it will not work (but NOTHING would work doing it that way:) ).

A couple of other notes:

* I've never used the little wooden stick that comes with it.

* I don't use the eyebrow shaper guides.

* Toss the tweezers, they don't work. (You can use your old tweezers if this stuff happens to not remove a hair or two which is VERY rare).

* I used it to remove upper lip hair once or twice, its not a big concern of mine though, but it removed it all (and mine is SUPER fine). My mother had me remove her once and it did the job on her, as well.

I have used the surgi stickers before on my eyebrows and lip but after trying this product, I won't ever use anything else again. It did take longer to heat the wax compared to what the directions said, but it completely removed the hair on my lip in one try. I also waxed my eyebrows (but did not use the sticker guides in the kit) it worked great and was fun to use. I found it less painful then the sticker kind of wax. I imagine you have to get the hang of how thick to make the wax, or how hard to let it dry before peeling... you want it cool, but not solid. I think those variables are the reasons for the mixed reviews.
