" ... It works better than the cheap wax warmer I had before and I discovered that I really like the pre-epilation oil. ... I've used this warmer for both hard and soft wax without an issue. ... Just go make sure you start with small amounts of wax . ... "
" ... It's simple to wax. ... "
" ... Awesome wax kit! ... "
" ... Wax itself takes a lot longer than 30 seconds to harden properly but does a good job at removing the hair. ... "
" ... 4 stars because half the pre epilation oil spilled in the box. ... "
" ... This is really good to have if you wax yourself. ... "
" ... I use this to wax my mostache and eyebrows. ... I’ve been using it for over a year and still have a bunch of wax left! ... "

" ... The wax was not coming off my legs! ... I’ve been waxing my legs for over 14 year. ... "
" ... And the results were so patchy (and painful) that I gave up and didn't even get to the other leg! ... "
" ... While I waited, I looked at some other reviews and found a lot of complaints about the lid arriving damaged or broken. ... In addition, the very design of the lid itself makes it awkward to use as it is just a dome with no place to gab hold of it. ... And really, the flimsy cardboard drip guard that goes around the can is ridiculous. ... "
" ... I've been getting my legs waxed every month for years. ... I would only recommend buying this if you are a seasoned waxer and have gotten your legs waxed at least 6-10 times at the very minimum. ... It takes me an entire can to wax both legs. ... "
" ... It arrived with the cover lid cracked and broken in multiple pieces. ... "
" ... The lid arrived with large cracks in it and the wax warmer looks as if it has been used. ... "
" ... I have tried using this on my legs, underarms and it doesn't work. ... "
" ... One can is never enough to do two full legs. ... "

" ... I have a pretty high skin/heat tolerance, so turning the wax on low and using it immediately, was fine for me, though if your skin is more sensitive, I recommend leaving it on low for about 10 minutes before use, and the wax will be a cooler, honey-like consistency. ... "

" ... Not a fan of the wax - but the warmer works great and you can switch it out with other waxes that dry harder and better. ... "
" ... Powder the hair and skin, swipe a thick layer of wax the direction of the hair, and after the wax has dried pull opposite direction that the hair grows. ... "
" ... I chose the hardwax because it was recommnded for sensitive skin/thick hair. ... "
" ... My biggest "like" it get coarse hair off. ... "
