I have very thick eyebrows and none of the waxes I tried worked for me. I tried this one for the first time because I absolutely love lavender, and was so happy with the results, I only want to use this. I agree that the time stated in the box to microwave should be ignored. It's a matter of trial and error on that end. Specially since microwaves vary so much.
For more precise application, I use a toothpick. I can get ever single hair at once. Even tiny ones. It feels so clean. Don't forget to pull your skin tightly. It makes a world of difference. I get red on the place I waxed for a very short period, which is the opposite of what I got with the other waxes. Professional waxing makes me look like a clown for a whole day and the pain is horrible.
Shameful confession: I ran out of the strips mid-session ( the wax tube goes a long way!) and I grabbed some A4 paper to finish the job. Not as nice as the original paper, but at least I got the job done. :)
This gets 5 stars from me too. Not only I love it, but recommend to all my friends. Unfortunately, like me, they have a hard time finding in drugstores.
NOTE: As in ANY wax product, I skip the azulene. It always makes my eyes burn no matter which company it is. I just remove as much as wax possible with the strips (it really grabs to the paper well) and if I still feel a bit sticky, I dip just the very tip of a cotton swab in baby/vegetable oil.
You can apply a cold compress to take the redness off quicker.

this product is great, when done right it takes most facial hair off without the messiness that comes with having to spread the wax with a stick. clean up takes no time, i only wish it is easier to find and available at more drug stores. it seems like it is not even available on amazon anymore =(Best Deals for SALLY HANSEN Spa Wax Facial Wand Kit - Facial Wand
I love this stuff. It is true, it takes some experimentation to figure out how long to heat it up in the microwave so that it is warm enough to spread but not so hot it burns you. And as with any wax, if it doesn't take the hair off the first time, you shouldn't try again the same day. That is what leads to redness that lasts.That said, let me tell you what I like about this product:
1. Smells great! I love the smell of lavender.
2. Easy to use! Heating it up in the microwave is so much quicker than stovetop, and being able to heat it in the tube is great.
3. Works! It really takes the hair off.
Let's face it, waxing hurts like heck and if you don't do it right you are going to be red, bumpy and spotted. This product is no different from others in that regard, and I get less redness with this than with salon waxing.
Now if they could just figure out how to make a pain-free wax . . .
