Hive Of Beauty Roller Wax Cartridge Refill Perfect Pink Sensitive Wax

Advantages: Hairless legs
Disadvantages: Takes a while to get used to using it

...to be treated and wait 24 hours. Ensure skin is dry and free from any traces of moisturising cream. Do not swallow (why would I want to?) Do not use on spots, cuts, varicose veins, moles, beauty spots, broken or irritated skin or sensitive membrane areas. Waxing is also not suitable for diabetics, the elderly and people taking prescribed medication for acne. Assembly: Quite easy, imagine a small plastic bottle. You fill it up with water to the max line. As described before the water must be between 55 and 60 C. My first problem. With a child in the house I don’t like very hot water in the house so my tank is set to below 50. So I boiled a kettle. Or at least part boiled. I checked the temperature with my finger. Ouch it burned, (only kidding!). The water should be too hot for the finger to stay in for any length of time but not so... Read review

Advantages: cheaper than a salon wax
Disadvantages: don't actually work so you'd need to pay for the salon wax on top of this

...on the leaflet inside to save you having to read it yourselves and then I'll tell you how I got on with it. The precautions tell you to keep out of reach of children, do not swallow (why would you?) and avoid contact with eyes.

It also says its not suitable for diabetics, the elderly and people taking prescribed medication for acne. Do not use on spots, cuts, varicose veins, beauty spots, broken, irritated or sunburnt skin or on skin which has suffered an adverse reaction to waxes in the past. It also states that it is for use on any body part APART from the breast or perianal or genital areas or eyebrows, nose or ears... Read review

Advantages: Easy to Use, washes off easily, smells nice
Disadvantages: Can easily burn your fingers

...to the till and my wax was reduced to only £2.34!! Biggest bargain or what! For that measly sum of £2.34 you get two 50ml canisters of wax, an applicator, 10 folded cotton strips and an instruction leaflet. The wax is available in two fragrances - extracts of refreshing green tea and extracts of gentle cotton flowers. I bought the second of the two. The instruction leaflet gives you easy and detailed instructions on how to use the wax. Right – Here goes! It’s pretty easy to get started. Remove the plastic roller lid from the applicator and fill up to the indicator line on the side of the turquoise applicator. The water needs to be hot, but not boiling, remember, you need to be able to hold the applicator, and if you make the water hot, this is impossible. Then insert one of the wax canisters, make sure you’ve only... Read review
