Gigi Brazilian Bikini Wax Microwave Formula, Painless, Residue-Free Hard Wax for Coarse Hair, Perfect for Sensitive Areas, 8 Oz, 1-Pack

My absolute favorite wax! I love that I don't use the wax strips with it. Super easy to use and beginner friendly. Gets all the hair out.

Works great. Prefect starter one.

Great wax, but incomplete. Sold just as the wax, no applicators. I’m returning and buying at ULTA. I was just trying to save a trip.

Very messy, top does not melt first. Center core melts giving the impression that it is not melted as the surface is still hard. Is not soothing at all like ad & description say. Extremely painful to use, worse than other products. Also has bad odor & remains tacky the whole time. It’s supposed to be “soft & pliable”, but it also stays very sticky and hard to clean off

I've never used hard wax before but I hate shaving, and have a high-ish pain tolerance, so I thought i'd try this. I heated it up, took about 3 minutes in my microwave at 15-20 second intervals. When I bought this I also ordered 800 Popsicle sticks, so thats what I applied them with. After heating, I thought I was a pro, and didnt need to practice using this on my arm/leg. I had never used any sort of wax at home before, so how hard could it be? oh man Of course i went straight for the bikini line, more inside the line if you're picking up what I'm putting down. that was mistake #1. I highly recommend you test this out on your arm/leg so you can get used to how thick you apply it, how long you leave it for, how big of an area to spread it on. Otherwise you will end up like me, half your junk covered in a hardened wax, that you then need to slowly peel off of skin that hasnt been shaved in about 3 weeks. On the bright side, my first waxing experience set the bar pretty low on comfort, so the rest of the evening was a breeze. I found that, like the other reviews say, you should wait until the wax is not sticking to your fingers, but is "tacky". then just rip that off as fast as you can. I found that this didn't get 100% of my hairs off, but I'm also not good at using it yet. I waxed my entire bikini area(s), and the equivalent of about one calve (calf? which one is the animal?) and used up about 1/6th of the container. I found this worked amazing on my face, and didn't even hurt which i did not expect. They turned out so good, and it was so painless that my (hairy) boyfriend actually asked me to do his eyebrows too. Last note, in the instructions it talks about using a strip on top of the wax, but dont worry, you actually dont need one. ******update a year later****** It has been a year and i've bought this 3 more times. I got good at using it, but I no longer do. This would always leave me sore for 2-3 days anywhere i put it, sometimes bruising, and each hair follicle bleeds every time for me. I began to make my own at home sugar wax following along with a youtube video and I have had AMAZING results from that. No blood. No soreness. Much less pain. And with sugaring you can wax shorter hair, damaging it in its growth cycle so your hair grows back thinner and thinner and I can confirm this. I sugar waxed a bit of my arm about 10 months ago and there is still less hair in that area than everywhere else. My underarm hair grows back with less and less each time, and my bikini line hairs are coming back lighter which is great. I also LOVE sugaring because if you get it anywhere on accident, all the ingredients are, are lemon juice, water, and sugar so it is water soluble and you can wipe away mistakes with water. not to mention I can make this entire tub of gigi wax for cents when I use the sugaring method. give it a try, I wish I did sooner.

I'll be the first to admit that I get kind of a kick out of waxing. It must be something about the endorphins, but I find it weirdly addicting. I use this stuff solely on my bikini area, and have on and off, for at least a decade now (I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff as Surgi, which is what I used to always buy - they look and smell IDENTICAL). This is a hard wax that requires nothing more than a popsicle stick, a microwave, and a reasonable pain threshold. I do wish that it came with an applicator stick, but no worries, I've been using a plastic knife from a cheap take-out place as a spatula. We all know that serrated edge couldn't cut anything if it tried, and the wax is actually so thick that it becomes even more of a non-issue, but I'm sure there are applicator sticks, or popsicle sticks, or whatever, if you're into spending more money on waxing supplies. This wax is really effective at grabbing onto hairs and holding onto them as you squinch your face up and lamaze breathe in preparation for the next yank. It can be difficult to get off of your fingers (or wherever) if you only get a small amount on them, so I recommend soaking those body parts in a little ice water, and the wax will flake right off.

The product works good but can be hard to pull off at times and caused me to rip a little skin off leaving a scar. Its effectiveness is also ok but may need second application just to get off the excess wax

Good but high price

Muy buena cera. Se retira super bien el vello y dura mucho. No se hace desastre. :)

This is super easy to use. I researched a lot before buying this, watched a bunch of YouTube reviews and settled on this product. Some of the reviews say you have to warm it more than what the instructions recommend. This is true. I warm it for 15 second intervals for a total of about 1 minute to 1 min 30 seconds. After the first few intervals I try to crack the top and stir slightly. I only warm it enough to get some of the middle to the right consistency. It would probably take 5 or more minutes to heat the entire amount of wax through and I’m not sure what that would do to the plastic container. Regardless, if doing brows you don’t need it all heated anyways. I purchased little wooden applicator sticks from the same brand and they have a slanted edge. Application is easy. Wax stays warm enough to use for about 30 mins or so. I figure since I’m just using it for my brows, that the amount of wax will probably last 6-12 months.

Very nyc wax used for the first tym and is less painful than other wax. Easy to do at home

no es tan eficaz con vellos gruesos, para todo lo demas .. excelente
