Sally Hansen, Eyebrow, Face & Lip Wax Kit

Si buscas una cera que **elimine hasta el vello más fino** de las cejas, labios o rostro sin dañar tu piel, **¡esta es la indicada!** La he usado por semanas y me encanta lo **precisa y suave** que es, incluso en áreas sensibles.

Used this for years

I bought this to replace my Sally Hansen sugar wax, a product I've used for decades. I realized after following the instructions and heating it in the microwave, that it is not sugar wax at all. For a start the instructions tell you to heat it on high for 90 seconds. I thought, "wow, that's a long time, I usually only heat my previous wax for 10 seconds." Well, I should have listened to my gut. It smells terrible (like burnt wax!) and it was so hot, I had to wait for ages for it to cool. By the time it had cooled enough that the plastic spatula with "heat sensitive ink" told me it was safe to use, it had hardened too much. So I reheated it, using my own judgement this time, in 10 second increments. The spatula heat sensor is not accurate at all and the wax kept cooling too much. So, I had to risk burning myself to try it a little hotter. I didn't burn myself but I never quite got it hot enough to spread properly. It did not work. And unlike sugar wax, it does not dissolve in water, so there is no way to clean the spatula. You just have to wait for it to harden and try to break it off. It is messy and clumpy and did not work. I'm going to try to return it, though it's quite a mess now. The picture is the aftermath of my single attempt.

I really like this! I wouldn’t replace my waxer but during quarantine it did the job well. With the thin wooden stick I was able to make detailed work. It also gripped the hair very well. It’s the same hair pulling quality as my salon waxer BUT it only works if the hair is long enough. Don’t say it doesn’t work if you’re trying to pull very short hairs like any wax would. SO if you need a quick fix or quick wax for brows or stache THIS IS A GREAT OPTION. I also love the fact that it doesn’t need a paper or cloth strip. And even if you get it on the surfaces it eventually peels off when it hardens so it’s actually not messy in the end. So throughout the waxing session just peel off the wax from the stick.SOME ADVICE: don’t panic just relax and don’t get frustrated. I think this is actually meant to be foolproof. I also drew on my preferred brow shape with my brow pomade before waxing as a guide rather than using the provided templates. Don’t do it freehand. I wish I took a before photo but I promise my brows were unruly :)Instructions say 1.5 mins but about 3 mins should do the trick in the microwave. This might be misleading from the instructions but think about it this way: if it heats up too fast it might go all over your microwave. So I actually like that it heats up slower.Make sure the wax is LIQUID and not soft solid. Even straight out of the microwave for 3 mins didn’t burn my skin. It was a nice warm temp and I have sensitive skin. I usually get bad welts when I scratch etc.The wax cools fast and you’ll start to notice that the liquid wax starts to slowly go back to gel consistency after 8-10 mins. This might be a disadvantage to some but it prevents me from messing up and the wax dripping down my skin. This way if you make a mistake you only put wax on a small area. So since it cools or hardens somewhat quickly heating it up 45 seconds to 1 minute again to continue using. It also means it doesn’t spread very much meaning you’ll be expecting small patches of wax. Again I see it as an advantage so you don’t over wax. So what I did was just keep applying to connect small patches.

I tried this couple of time and found out it's not good for remove the thick hair, also after couple of time warming it up it didn't have the same quality as the first time.

I have used this wax for I am guessing over twenty years. Whenever it hit the market. Outside a few packaging changes, it remains ond if my beloved beauty staples. There is definitely a learning curve. Before I begin, please read the entire package insert Let me share a few tips:#Test the wax on the back of your hand before you put it on your face. Even if it says ready. Every microwave is different, I warm mine up in 20 sec increments. I generally get it a little extra hot bc it cools down by the time I carry it to my bathroom, but we all have different lives. YMMV.#. You can't be in a rush. Time us of the essence and safety is key..If you don't live alone tell everyone to scram because you will have hot wax. Sequester your pets. Lock that bathroom door. Tight.#Cleab your face with astringent or alcohol. If it is hot, it you are sweaty, a little baby powder on your upper lip or chin helps it adhere# Brows: Draw them with the darkest pencil you have, even if it is eyeliner to be your guide. Brush them up and out.#Dont use any kind of acids, peels, scrubs, etc 24 hrs before you do this. You can exfoliate gently with a wash cloth like a half hour before to lift hairs, but honestly I prefer to shower after I do all this.#. Mustache .. there will always be that one hair. So keep tweezers handy, but don't dig. They you'll get a scab and yeah don't.# Pull your skin taut.#Eyebrows first, then worry about everything else. Don't get too fussy, you can tweak stuff later.# I'm going to be honest. You probably will play least once yank out a big spot or maybe go thinner. Don't cry. Be glad it is 2021 and there are thousands of eyebrow products. Make it lewk.With this in mind, I go low, by that I mean, go a tad lower than you think you want, and you can adjust w tweezers.# . I didn't listen to my mom, but you should listen to me. The more you yank all those brows out, the less they grow back. Then you end up buying $$$ serums.# If possible, do this at night.The swelling will go away.Definitely use the numbing cream. I recommend using a qtip to apply it. Alternatively, at least do it before your shower. And avoid those areas with serums etc.Wear sunscreen!!Once you are more comfortable doing this, you might find a qtip easier to use in your brow bone , but you need to make sure it is damp.
