Sugaring Paste for Bikini, Legs, Brazilian, Arms and Back - 12oz by Sugaring NYC

The "Beware" portion of this review is simply so you won't end up being disappointed in the long run. Several of the negative reviews are very likely due to people either not reading directions in the first place and getting in a hurry, or not having done some outside research before making a purchase. Do those things, expect to have a bit of a short learning curve in the beginning (the first couple of uses), and you'll be well rewarded for your study and patience. My wife uses the products, we order, I get to do the reviews. LOL! But her comments are always very favorable once she's used this sugaring paste. She's had excellent results under her arms, above her upper lip, on her legs, and in more private areas. And the reported pain associated with some of the actual waxes is simply not an issue with this sugar paste. I watched her a couple of times, and expected to see/hear a lot of complaints. Didn't happen! And I attribute that to the study both of us did before hand. For example you go in the opposite direction with a sugar paste compared to waxes. Be prepared to experiment just a bit with heating and use, but once you find your optimum, you'll just continue that each time. Does hair grow in thicker? No. Does it grow back quicker? No, but some does come back very quickly mainly because it hadn't emerged from the follicles yet when it was first sugared, and therefore it may SEEM that it grows back quickly. But in reality, it's thinner, because you're only seeing the hair that is on a different growth cycle from what you removed perhaps days before. Over time it gets thinner (both coverage as well as consistency of the individual hairs themselves, per my wife's experience). I'm looking forward to use this some myself in the near future. At my age, "waxing" (in this case sugaring) isn't common, so I'm having to overcome some of the hesitation that comes from "men don't do this - it's for women" mentality. It'll happen, sooner rather than later. There are some areas that I truly wish were NOT hairy, and I expect, based on my wife's results, that this will be a much better answer than an electric trimmer. Oh - and this lasts for quite a few uses before it's empty, so price is not an issue.

So to begin, I of course read the reviews prior to purchase, and naturally I reverted to YouTube for a sugar waxing tutorial/ ‘how to’, following delivery of the product. Listen, I gotta tell ya, I am SO SATISFIED with this product! I usually use the Veet wax strips which have been just fine for a long time, but the sticky residue gets annoying after a while and for some reason I noticed that my hair doesn’t grow back as SLOWLY or grow back faster when I use Veet verses when I go to European wax center for a leg wax. I think the ingredients may play a role but who knows.. Anyways, back to THIS product: a little goes a LONG way. I used two(2) small balls (one for each leg) and they lasted me the entire waxing duration. The scent is natural (sugar duh lol), not over whelming. Stickiness on fingers comes off in seconds from a rinse under warm water. I didn’t use gloves, didn’t find it necessary as this is a natural product and I really wanted to get a feel for it completely. Please be patient with yourself, go with the learning process and as you continue using you’ll recognize which/what techniques work for you. I do agree, the ‘flicking’ technique I found to be the most successful with sugar wax. This was my FIRST time and I completed my wax session feeling like a PRO lol!!! I did not decide to warm my wax at all, I know some tutorials have that option yet I didn’t find it necessary. I found the wax was pliable enough to scoop into your palm without having to warm it. I do believe the negative reviews were because people don’t follow direction and although I understand everyone is different and we all have different types of body hair within a range, I can assure you that simply following the do’s/don’ts help by a long shot lol. ( I’d also like to add that I have somewhat thick lower leg hair and I did wait a bit until my hair was very visibly noticeable before waxing.) Take your time, watch a YouTube video or two, you have nothing to lose. If you don’t like the product for whatever reason, return it (: Thanks for reading my long review lol!!! @ xobetina on ig if you have questions ;)

I've been sugar waxing at home since the beginning of this year, so I'm by no means an expert but luckily I'm somewhat familiar with it. This came with zero instructions and or gloves . I find it easier to use with an applicator (old gift card) than by hand/with gloves. I recommend warming it just a bit so you can scoop it easier. This jar is pretty big and honestly see it going a longs way, would recommend

I normally do not write reviews, but I thought I would write one for this since the experience was so easy. The girl that would do my Brazilians recently moved and I had a bad experience from the person that replaced her - so I figured, why not try to do this myself. I prefer sugaring and when I have used hard wax in past it did not go well. I bought this, read a few online tips, and followed the instructions. Highly recommend watching a youtube video to get the method down. I heated the sugar past in the microwave for about 10 seconds, used about two fingers worth of sugar paste and went to work on my bikini area. Use baby powder first to dry the area, I think this helped tremendously with my results - apply going against the hair and remove going with the grain. The flick method was really the best way to do it. I was able to do this myself in about twenty minutes, relatively pain free and a fraction of the cost that I normally spend at the spa to get a Brazilian.
