Product reviews of Bliss - Poetic Waxing At-Home Hair Removal Kit
Review: So happy I tried this....
Beauty product: 5 Stars
After much hesitation, I tried this product and boy, am I glad I did. Having had no success whatsoever with sugaring, other waxing products in the past, other than extremely painful sugar/wax removals, I finally screwed up my courage and ordered it. I just tried it this past weekend on a leg and tiny hairs at the side of the mouth. After carefully reading the instructions and adhering strictly to them, this was no more painful to me than having your eyebrows tweezed. It is going to be somewhat time consuming as to be expected vs a salon treatment but my heavens, the difference in price and the luxury of doing this whenever you decide is fantastic. I too had a bit of a 'dribble effect' on my face, but I did not use the tiny spatula and did not twist the wax long enough to eliminate 'running down my face." I know I will learn how to do this extremely well, love that I can reuse and reuse the wax (it is up to you in that regard - depending on where you are waxing and whether you want that re-heated hairy wax on you, so to speak). Also be advised that I may be heating the wax too long even tho it was not remotely too hot on my skin, as I tended the get wax strings (like dribble strings at the dentist - gross but true) and tiny little blobs on me or the sink from the cup to the area being waxed. Will work on this every time I use and hopefully get much better at this (strings and blobs), however, I just scraped or peeled up the blobs and put them right back in the cup so no wastage in that regard. Unless you are extremely pain sensitive, I think you will like this. Just remember to follow the instructions, pull the skin as taut as possible before peeling the wax off (in the opposite direction of hair growth) and be patient. Review: better than a salon
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Not as quick as a salon, buy my skin was in much better condition than waking at a salon.
Highly recommended.
Review: messy & not a solo job
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I get my brows waxed on a regular basis, and turned to this kit as a time-saver. Unfortunately, despite several attempts, I found this kit to be messy and not very effective. The sugar paste/syrup that is the wax substitute is difficult to apply with precision. You need just the right amount - too little, and the hairs will not come out. Too much, and the syrup smears everywhere and the hairs still do not come out. Even if the right amount is applied, quite a few stragglers are left behind, so the overall effect is not as clean as I'd like. It is ok in an emergency - but despite positive reviews I would not strongly recommend this. I think I'll go back to tweezing as a quick fix. The soothing balm that comes with this kit works pretty well, though - I use it after having my brows waxed.
