CirepilEscential Rose - 400g / 14.11 oz Wax Tin - Light Rose Scent - Creamy Texture - All-Purpose, Excellent for Short, Coarse or Shaved Hair - Easy Removal, No Strips Needed

This is a wonderful product. I have been waxing bodies for 40 years. This is by far the best non-strip wax. Very gentle on the skin.

Its a good wax. I love the consistancy of it. Though it does not glide thorugh as they show in videos. I have to take a small amount of it each time and then work through the application to create a patch that is easy to rip off. I tried it first on knuckles of my hand and then proceeded to use it on underarms, eyebrows, and upper lip.I love this product but have given it 4 stars since i have used a couple of other products which were much cheaper and gave similar results.Pros0. 1 thing I absolutely love about this product is that it does not cause breakouts on my face after application. The hard wax that I use before this(parissa) makes me breakout near the upper lip area like crazy(note that I dont usually get pimples and my sking is generally clear without acne) . This product is comparatively gentle on the skin! Love it. I am updating my rating to 5 stars becaus eof this experience1.Gets a lot of hair in one rip2.Easy to clean3.Easy to melt with a wax warmer( i bought gigi wax warmer based on recos)4.Softly scented5.Skin feels very smooth after application6.Elastic. Hence can be ripped off in one go without much pain7.Quicker result than other hard waxes out there ( completed my underarms, eyebrows and upper lips in 35-40 mins)Cons1.A lot of residue is left behind2.Left a couple of red spot behind because of the ripping3.Needs atleast 2 applications to get through all the hair (underarms)4.Wax took 1.25 hrs to melt completely in the gigi wax warmer

Waxing

Its OK, not bad. I had to buy the pink (Essential Rose) 14.11 ounce tin because the blue one (Cirepil Blue) was always sold out on Amazon, and they just kept pushing the delivery date further out, so it wasnt worth the wait. This wax gets all the hairs out (as you can see in the pic), and the texture of the wax is good, however it does leave behind a lot of residue on your skin after the use, and it was my understanding that its not supposed to do that, that its supposed to come off clean? Hence the one star less. I haven't tried any other wax products so i cant say.The directions say that it should take 20-30 minutes to warm up the wax, I used a GIGI professional wax heater that I also bought on here, and it took 50-60 minutes to get all the wax in the tin to become honey-like in texture, so be mindful of that. Because of the time that it takes to heat up the wax, its a process to get the waxing done, you will probably have to free up at least an hour and a half to prep everything and to do an area on your body. I should have taken a pic before I did the waxing too so that yall could see a difference, but I int wna gross you out - youre welcome America!!

Hallelujah! This was has reminded me that waxing does not have to leave me in excruciating pain! I got cheap for a while and used homemade sugar wax and the pain was unimaginable. 😖😖😖This wax only sticks to the hair and not the skin, however, and while it is strong enough to capture every little hair, it does not leave me in pain. I mean, it still stings but it’s only pulling the hairs. It easily pulls up even if a leverage lip is not made the way the professionals make it to pull the product up. It effectively pulls the hairs from any direction. I used the blue wax for a while but it felt more plasticky and did not capture all of the hairs without rubbing the wax deeply into the hairs or going over several times. It was also more brittle however this product is softer and more malleable. It also goes a long way and does not have to use a lot of product in order to be effective. I use this to wax pits, pubes, and brows. You can cover large and small areas with precision with this product. Everything is smooth and my skin is not traumatized. It’s easy to clean up with baby oil. Smells great too.

Once you can get it to melt, it does a fine job in removing hair but I find it takes too high a temperature to melt evenly due to the thickness of this wax. It makes the whole process long since you have to wait to cool the wax a bit so that you don’t burn yourself. I’ll stick with the blue beads from this brand.

This is my first time with stripless wax. I primarily wax my upper lip and eyebrows. I have a wax warmer and have used softer wax with strips before, and I wish I had known about this sooner! Not only do I not need strips, which makes it so much easier to see, but it's not nearly as messy! When I get the thin strings of wax, they're not sticking to everything. You can just kind of catch and roll them together like hot glue strings. I could probably even drip some of this and it would be an easy cleanup in my bathroom. That being said, there was a bit of a learning curve. You HAVE to give it some time to harden. Otherwise it's like pulling chewing gum off, and it hurts. Also, make sure to pull back close to the skin. If you pull away, it doesn't work well and it hurts. I did a test strip in my bikini area to see how bad it hurts. Mind you, I just used the cirepil oil, and I've NEVER waxed down there so I was expecting a lot of pain, but it didn't hurt AT ALL. The second strip I got a little eager with and pulled before it set all the way, and that DID hurt, but it was user error. It got EVERY hair. Excited to try my armpits next!
