GiGi Brazilian Bikini Waxing Microwave Formula, Home Hair Removal Kit

Great wax
Wanted to try the Gigi products and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to order more products

Super messy and doesn’t dry
I have used Gigi kits with successful results, however I accidentally purchased the “hemp” wax.Big mistake!Right away I noticed it was sticky at room temperature. This should have stopped me but I went ahead and microwaved it for 1 minute.It had the consistency of melted wax at that point.I applied it to my skin like I have done in the past. But it never dries! So I just had messy wax on my skin. Awful to clean up. Working into 2 hours now! I am taking a break to write a review to warn people this isn’t a great product.

I almost love it.
I really really like this but I can’t say I love it. I’ll try my best to get all the key points. For starters the price is good. You get a good amount of product for the price. If you were doing a Brazilian I think it’d be enough wax for one or two applications. There is more than enough of the other products, however basically a sample size of sticks. You will have to buy more.Now that we’ve established the good amount of product for the price, we have to look at how well it actually works. The Pre Hon is a pre wax cleanser. It smells nice and is gentle but if you were about to wax underarms for example I don’t think this is good enough. However, this is for bikini so it’s perfect for those sensitive areas!For the next step you use Pre Epilation Oil. This works well, I tried using powder for areas that sweat (arm pit example again 🙂 ) and that worked OK. Then for normal areas (leg) I tried with and without the oil. IMO the oil is better but you must wipe the excess off if you want this to work. The hair removal was slightly less painful so I recommend you use it and use it properly.The next step is waxing. Warming it depended on how much wax I had. I think the first time I had to do a minute and a half but towards the end 30 seconds was good enough. Just do it in 30 second increments and you’ll be fine. Please be patient and don’t nuke it for an entire 2 minutes right from the beginning people. Application was easy with the slanted applicators so I’ll admit I double dipped until the wax started to cake on the end and then I switched to a new one. Also if the wax slides off as you apply it you need to heat it some more. It should be sort of liquidy when you apply. It gets thicker as it dries so don’t worry.As far as the hair removal it only worked in certain spots. There is coarse hair on my leg. This wax did not remove it there, nor from my bikini area. Oddly enough the hair is about the same texture, just more abundant in the bikini region. Next, I tried it on my thigh where the hair is thinner. This also did not effectively remove the hair. Only a small amount but I think it was because the hair was sort of long. Next I tried it on my arm (I have never removed the hair from my arm). This worked about the same as the thigh, but some of the hairs were simply ripped and not really removed from the root. Again, I think removal was hard because the hair was long. Next I tried my knuckles. This worked well! Removed just about every hair and I cleaned it up with the tweezers. It also worked the same for my upper lip. I tried this on my eyebrows since I was in the area lol and it worked sort of how it did on my thighs (only partially).The last area I tried was on a whim but I am extremely happy. This last method and the knuckles is why I’m decided to frequently repurchase this product. I tried it on my stomach and chest area. Yes my chest! I am a female, I have thick, dark curly hair and light skin. Therefore, every single hair I have shows. I usually leave it alone but it does bother me. This worked fantastically for those areas!!!! If there is anyone out there like this buy this product!!Next step is the wax off. This is similar to a lotion. This seems like it doesn’t do much but if you need to tweeze definitely apply this first. Last but surely not least, apply the Slow Grow with argan oil. This worked really well. This stuff is magical, even though the wax didn’t properly remove all the hair, this slow grow made the hairs grow back slower. I use this after I shave and even if this wax doesn’t work for you I think you should try the slow grow (you can buy this separately).In conclusion, I say if you’re trying to remove thick and coarse hair, this won’t work for you. My hair is really stubborn and hard to remove so if you’re like me leave it to the professionals. If you have thin hair this is the product for you. However, it works best on shorter hair. You can use this anywhere on your body because it’s so gentle. Make sure you test on your inner arm before each use and good luck. Try it and experiment because every individual is different. Good luck.By the way, the only time the waxing caused me any real pain was when I did the bikini area and stomach. That was really painful and none of the hairs were removed. That might be because I have stubborn and thick hair but compared to my other waxing sessions at the spa, this method was virtually pain free. Of course all hair removal hurts but this is by far the least painful.

WORTH EVERY CENT
My go to product!I personally heat it up in 30 second increments, but see what works best for you.It is best to follow the instructions as far as the order of applying the oils, and the oils do really help with it not pulling the skin!I only use this particular product for waxing.I use this for my armpits as well as my bikini area.The “wax off ” product smells absolutely incredible!The wax itself has a distinct smell, it is not bad.The wax itself is green.Tips: exfoliate your skin before any hair removal! This helps to reduce bumps and ingrown hairs.Also apply the wax in small areas, I would not recommend more than a half an inch at a time, just because it is easier to control and it also makes it a little less painful (pulling less hair at once).I also recommend putting the wax on in the opposite way that the hair grows. So if the hair grows down, start down and slide the wax up, this allows for the wax to pull out all of the hair effectively in one pull.Put the wax on thinly (not too thin of course) because you want to be able to see that it is dry, it is hard wax so you need it to harden for it to work properly.Do not hesitate, pulling all at once quickly is a lot less painful than pulling slowly and feeling one hair being pulled out at a time.I personally think that this product is fairly priced and worth every cent.The seller was wonderful and shipped in a timely manner, I do plan on ordering again in the future.The product comes as depicted, inside of the box there are the four products depicted: pre-wax cleanser, oil, wax off, and slow grow, as well as the sticks and the wax itself.This is the second time that I have purchased the kit.

Es la mejor cera que he probado y las cremitas con las que viene ayudan a Preparar la piel para no irritarla al momento de la depilación. La he comprado ya 3 veces. Mi favorita!

I have tried various other microwave hot wax products and this is by far the best. It melts nicely, spreads well and comes off effectively. The before and aftercare creams are good quality and really soothe the area post wax. Highly recommended for at home waxing.
