Nad's Sugar Wax

I have been staring at this for a while. I was a bit unsure if I could do it. Then I put on my big girl pants and started it. It was easy to use and by the end I have learned to use it correctly too. I love that I could wash the wax off the strips. I hope that I can buy the wax without buying the whole kit as well. The waxing was not too painful. However if you are hoping to practice sugaring techniques this product is not for you.

As a self waxing beginner, I honestly didn't know what to expect. re: my legs - I always go to a lady that gives me the basic full leg and bikini wax. I'd say my pain threshold is slightly above average, so much so, I was able to do this by myself. I've used wax strips before now, but usually, they've been to only do my ankle area so my leg hair doesn't peep through the gap between my socks and pants! The product itself comes as described - a tub of wax, the sticks to apply, the cotton strips to remove, and a bar of 'pre-waxing' soap. I followed the instructions by cleansing my legs first. The wax itself wasn't warm enough to scoop up on the stick - so I popped it in the microwave for 15 secs. I found as I went along, that the consistency needed to be runnier than I initially thought and I needed to keep popping to the microwave to keep it runny enough to apply the right amount. Having watched several youtube videos of self waxing, I'd seen how to dip the stick, scoop it up and apply - and it worked as it should. Bearing in mind that I had full lockdown leg hair length- the wax removed it all from the root. I'd say the pain itself is the exact same as you'd get from a salon using normal wax and in my opinion. I've also seen reviews of this product where a lady uses her fingers to apply as a sugar wax would normally be applied - so perhaps this product is more versatile than you'd expect?!?!? I am just a beginner and my technique reflects that! My legs were left red and blotchy - which is normal for me. Any residue came off in the shower straight after, and my legs this morning were lovely and soft. This is where the product stands out for me. There was little to no residue in the first place, and my legs recovered quicker than from 'normal' wax at a salon. Finally, the pot itself only did half my legs - so from the knee down. I would need a bigger pot for a full leg! Overall - id recommend this product, but would stress to read and follow the instructions - no short cuts! esp when using the microwave to heat and then put on your skin!

Super product! I love the idea of waxing but I could never wax successfully and stress free (I first started with Veet strips, that left bruises on my skin and was a nightmare to clean up afterwards. I then found and tried sugar wax recipes online: they worked really well, but they take so much time for an uncertain result). I was looking for something that was healthy, easy to use and cheap, and found it all in this kit! The added touches of sustainability with the cotton strips and just the natural recipe made this even more perfect. As I explained, I’m really not a pro in waxing and had maybe done it like 4 times in my life before trying this, and I managed to use it with no problem. Works perfectly on the legs (as seen in my beautiful picture). A bit less perfect on the armpits, and I bled a little but that’s because my hair had become so thick from all the shaving so I’m not too worried about that, pretty sure the next few times will be fine. I am yet to try on my bikini area but I’m looking forward to it (whereas I dreaded this part with other waxes). One pot of wax can probably last for only one waxing of each of these accumulated body parts (so both legs, armpits as well as bikini in total once). The only negative point that I have found is that since the strips and applicators are reusable, I don’t really need to buy the full kit again, but I can’t seem to see an option of just buying the sugar wax for my next “session”. It would be a shame if I always had to buy the full kit, as the whole point of it is that its components are reusable. The other small issue was just that my room temperature was never enough so I had to go heat up the wax a few times during use, but I assume that it’s because of the general UK weather (I believe this is an Australian product so it’s normal that their room temperature is hotter).

I'm an experienced waxer, I use a hard wax and heater. However, I'd read about sugaring and watched a few videos and was intrigued to try something that's supposedly gentler, less painful (although I find hard wax fairly painless) and supposed to cause less ingrown hairs. Firstly after researching sugaring techniques and learning that it's supposed to be applied against the direction of the hair growth and pulled off with the hair growth, I was surprised to find the instructions on this product were the same as waxing (applied with growth, pulled off against). I was under the impression that the reason ingrown hairs are less likely with this is because of the direction the sugar is supposed to be pulled, meaning that it will encourages hair re-growth in its natural direction. Secondly, the consistency was too thin and sticky. Not runny enough to apply for strip waxing and not hard enough to use for the ball and flick method. And there's no way I'm heating it up, I might as well use my normal wax. Lol. It's also has left my skin sore, bruised and red and barely took the hair out of the root. It arrived mostly stuck to the foil lid so a lot of product was lost. I would love a refund because this is awful and a complete waste of money, but as I've opened it to try it I'm not sure how likely that will be.

I don't want to spend tons money in salons anymore, and £60 for a wax is a lot! So, I thought I'd try home waxing again, although I seem to remember past experiences with strips haven't been great. But this comes pretty cheap and with good reviews so I thought I'd give it a bash. Ok, it's very sticky. Next time I'll heat it a bit but it's OK to spread once you get the hang of it, plus the current heat wave probably helped too. The wax did my legs ok and I was able to reuse the strip a good few times. Pretty much painless as you can pull the skin really taut and the hairs all grow in the same direction. Bikini line. Fine, a slight pain but very manageable and far less than I'd feared. Took out all the hair but this time spreading was hard. The wax became very sticky and I couldn't reuse the strip more than once or twice. Also, here it's OK to pull the skin firmly enough to ease the pain and get good results. Once I started sweating from the effort, heatwave, perceived pain etc, my skin became a bit wet and waxing became impossible as you need dry skin to do this. Labia and underarms. It says on the packet to really look carefully what direction the hair grows (and not do your genitals, ahem). That's an impossible task in these places - as is to get the skin taut enough. Hair still remains there but at least I've got nice legs and can wear bikini bottoms with confidence! I've rinsed the strips with warm water and they're as good as almost new - the edges fray a lot. I'd say this is a great product for the money, especially for the bikini line and legs. However, you can't really get a Brazilian with this, in case that's what you were hoping for.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this time I just had to. I’ve always struggled with hair removal, particularly on my upper lip as I have extremely sensitive skin. I’ve tried wax strips, threading, shaving, and eventually I just started plucking each hair individually - yet still each method came with its own consequences and a few very embarrassing rashes. HOWEVER, I think I’ve just found my new holy grail - super easy process, managed to remove all in one go hairs after I tried it out a few times and formed my hand, very minimal pain - and the best part? Absolutely no irritation whatsoever!! My skin was only slightly red for 15 mins max, and after that it looked perfectly fine - no rash, no bumps, nothing out of the ordinary. If I can offer you one word of advice, it would be to apply some baby talc on the area you wish to wax as it absorbes all moisture and makes everything a lot easier. If you have sensitive skin and are wondering whether to try sugaring out or not - please do give it a try, and hopefully your experience will be as delightful as mine.

Works very well, the only thing to note is that taking the protective film off the pot will be very messy. I heated it for 10 secs after opening as it was cold and it was the perfect consistency, hardly had to go over any areas as it took all the hairs up at the root

This is a nice little kit, suitable for small areas as I don't think there would be enough to do legs. However...the instructions weren't very clear regarding the use of the pre wax soap, ie should watter be added? (I did add as I wasn't sure) A bottle of aftercare lotion would be a great addition, fortunately I have some as I'm a beauty therapist. I bought this kit for use on a client for eyebrow waxing, tested on myself first. Very pleased with results. The wax/sugar itself is very dense and not easy to apply, would recommend warming slightly to loosen it up. Having said this, I thought it was great value for money and would buy again. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was no aftercare lotion and unclear re soap in the instructions, otherwise it most definitely would have been 5 stars.

Comes with reusable cloth strips, lots of applicators, and a soap to prepare your skin as well as the sugaring compound. Best to use the product without heating it up - just be patient and let your skin heat it up to make it easier to spread. Also don't double dip with the application sticks or it contaminates the sugar and the product deteriorates.

First time sugar waxing. It was easy to do on my legs! My leg hair was a little longer than recommended length... did great. Easy clean up. Pain was minimal/ very tolerable for legs. And Legs were hairless for two weeks after. I will be purchasing this again. However...I also tried it on my armpits. 🤦‍♀️ It was painful and didn't work. I was sore the next day. I thought maybe the hair isn't long enough. I waited a week and retried...even had my husband help me. It was comical. Still didn't work and was even more painful. If you have thin armpit hair maybe it'll work for you. 🤷‍♀️

Over priced, still we bought it thinking that it will work When we used it, 90% of time its not sticking... even if its get stick, hair is not getting removed.. Totally a waste of money... So, please dont try your luck on this product.

I don’t recommend this sugaring paste. It simply doesn’t work. I have experience with sugaring and know the technique well — I only bought this because my usual product was out of stock, so it’s definitely not a skill issue. The paste doesn’t remove hair effectively, no matter how I tried to use it. I ended up wasting both time and money on this product.

I used it on my lip, chin, and brow. If you've ever had waxing done in the salon, you are familiar with the process, just repeat it with this product. The instructions are very clear. The wax is very sticky, much like honey but once you get comfortable with it, it's fairly easy to apply and removes most of the unwanted hair. The brow is a bit tricky and will take some practice and the overall result is not as thorough as the hot wax from the salon, but certainly worth the investment for in-between cleaning. My skin reaction was not as severe as after the salon either.
