Hive Of Beauty Hair Removal Hot Film Wax Pellets

Advantages: great results, not too painful, compact kit
Disadvantages: can be sightly painful

.... The first thing you do is take out your pot of wax and heat it for 1-2 minutes, this took me about 2 minutes. What you have to do is take you temperature indicator stick which is like a pencil with no points and is purple. You stir the wax with the stick and if it turns a hot pink colour you know the wax is too hot to use and not ready yet so every couple of minutes you keep on testing until it goes a pink/purple colour which means it is safe. They do recommend you test on the back of your wrist to feel that it is not burning hot and safe to use on more sensitive areas of skin. The whole testing method can be boring but it is worth while instead of removing skin instead of hairs. So once you have metled your wax pot the waxing begins. I decided to do my underarms first so you take the applicator stick out and then take a minimum amount of wax... Read review

Advantages: no need for strips
Disadvantages: wax is not water soluble

.... I eventually opted for the Nair Easy Wax option. I bought the white and purple box from my local Boots store, it cost me £7.99. It claims to be ideal for short hair. On opening the box I found a tub of mauve wax, a wooden spatula and two aftercare wipes, as well as an instruction leaflet. I read and followed the instructions; Warm the wax in the microwave for approximately two minutes depending on wattage of microwave then leave to stand for a further three minutes ( there is a warning about burning the skin with wax that is too hot). Dip the spatula into the wax and then place at the top of the area to be treated, spread immediately in the direction of the hair growth and leave a small amount at the end which is not pressed down so that you have a free end to pull the strip off with. Allow to dry until the wax is no longer... Read review

Advantages: No need to wash strips
Disadvantages: Can be a bit painful

...Hair removal can be a big problem and can be a bit time consuming. So when I saw this advertised I thought I might give that a go. A few months had gone by and I had forgotten about it, when on a shopping trip to boots I saw it. I think it was most defiantly an impulse buy, I mean I would never have gone out specifically to buy it. The contents of the box includes 1 tube of wax, 1 spatula, 2 after wax moisturiser, and your advise leaflet. All over the box and the leaflet there are lots of warnings about hot wax and how it can burn the skin if it is to hot. So the first thing I did was take everything out of the box and have a look. The wax is a pale pink color and solid. But it is not like candle wax as my husband thought. I then started to read the leaflet. It has a list of things not to do. Like not to be used by the following... Read review
