Hive Of Beauty Low Melt Softening Paraffin Wax Pellets

Advantages: Fuzz free legs for 2 weeks
Disadvantages: Slightly painful, not enough cotton strips, wax doesn't stay hot

...melts the wax leaving it free to be rolled onto your legs using the roll on applicator. What could be easier? So, off I toddled to the bathroom, armed with the necessary equipment. Knowing how bad I am at working up the nerve to actually rip off the strip, I employed the services of my best friend to help. After checking first that I didn’t *have any spots, cuts, varicose veins, beauty spots, broken, irritated, sunburnt skin or skin that has suffered an adverse reaction to waxes in the past, that I wasn’t *elderly, diabetic or taking prescribed medicine for acne, I proceeded to fill the container with very hot (not boiling!) water and insert the wax tube. Being a bit of a weakling, I found it difficult to get the lid to click into place but luckily my trusty helper was around to lend a hand! After waiting 3... Read review

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

DESCRIPTION******************************************* A pack of Immac Cold Wax Strips contains 12 single sided wax strips and 4 sachets of moisturising wipes. They cost me around £5.00, from my local branch of Bodycare, but prices vary considerably. I have seen them for sale in Boots, Superdrug and Tescos... Read review
