Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am a woman with a slight mustache (I think this is the case for most woman). I shave the unwanted hairs but I've wanted to try waxing for the longest time because it pulls hairs from the root. I have tried chemical lotion that works but my skin is sensitive so I was running about with a red blotch above my lip for a day and I'd rather have the hairs.
The first time I tried this product, it was very unsuccessful. Since this was my first time trying, I didn't want to run to my computer and write a bad review of the product because I was certain my inexperience caused it to go so wrong. Let's just say, the wax is messy and I ended up pulling hairs off from my cheek vs. my upper lip. I decided to wait and try it again.
My first thought about the directions: Oh my. I almost didn't want to try using the product! Here I am, thinking, wow, what a great product, but then you read the instructions, there are warnings galore, and it says the hair should be 5mm in length to work best. That seems short. Or I'm just not the smartest gal. Either way, I was discouraged. But the second time I read the instructions, I focused only on how to use the strips for the upper lip and ignored all the warnings. If you do that, you're good to go (I do suggest reading everything, though).
When I tried this product the second time, it was much easier to use. One wax strip is really two (this is something I didn't realize the first time I used it) you warm up the wax, then pull the two strips apart. The first strip works wonderfully, as you can imagine. It's freshly warmed up, good to go, apply, press, and rip off. Hairs be gone! But what about the other one? Well, it's sitting there, being cooled down. And it's not as affective. And well, design flaw, anyone? Sure, you can apply, rip off fast in hopes the other wax strip doesn't cool, but that's really not going to happen. The first one worked fine -I had missed some hairs, but I got a lot off and at the root and I was pleased (and this time I didn't wax my cheek hairs).
The second strip/side of my lip was not so clean. In fact, it was a mess. And then I saw a tiny speck of blood and I was like, what am I doing??? I'm ripping off my skin, slowly but surely! So I tossed that wax strip and started with a new one. For whatever reason, this side just didn't work as well as the first side. Fresh wax strip or no, it just was not happening. I reapplied several times (instructions advise of doing so) and ended up pulling off a bit of my cheek. Luckily it was like that first layer of skin, so I don't look that odd. I barely got any hair off. So I grabbed my razor and finished off the job.
Someone else mentioned this packaging flaw: you get 20 wax strips (which are really 40 once you pull them apart) but only four wipes to clean the dang wax off. Granted the wipes are only baby oil and you can just go buy a bottle for a buck, but still that doesn't make sense to me at all. I guess they assume someone is waxing like crazy and is using many strips at once? Not sure. Just be forewarned that you should have some baby oil on hand.
I did not try other parts of my body because I'm too afraid of how that'll go.
Would I use this again? Strangely, I have to say yes. I like how the result of the first side of my upper lip. I now know I either have to be super fast or I have to toss the other wax strip side. I know my cheeks do not like waxing and there is a very large possibility that I might rip off my skin. I had red skin for a bit, but the next day I was fine and everything feels smooth. I'm interested to see how fast the hair grows back.
Overall, this is a product you have to learn to use if you're inexperience with such things (as I am). I can see this being handy for eyebrows and maybe other random areas, but if you have one or two scraggly hairs that you want to remove, just pluck them or shave them. I don't think any product should get a bad review when it requires the buyer to participate a lot for it to be successful, so just know what you're getting into. Practice makes perfect!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have actually been using Nad's recently, which is an amazing product. But thought it wouldn't hurt to try something newalways on the look out for a better quality product or price! I think this product is incredibly easy to use. It got every hair I wanted it to with one yank. (Ouch.) To simplify this, here are some pros/cons:Pros:
-Easy to use
-Does its job well
-Super smooth skin!
-Easy to cut if the size/shape isn't easy for your eyebrows
Cons:
-Don't use the after wipes. They're awful, don't remove the wax well. And no matter how many times I wash my face after using them, I get zits. Just use warm water and a wee bit of soap.
-Wax is so so so sticky.
-One of the most painful waxing products I've ever used.
This is a good product, it does what it should and is cost effective. Though if you're not one for a lot of pain and would like to wax yourself, I suggest Moom's. That product is probably the least painful that I've used.
*Update* I'm never using this product again. No matter how many times I wash my face and do whatever... I get an awful rash the next morning! And I have the same reaction after using Nad's too. I'm sticking to Moom's!!
