MOOM Express Pre Waxed Strips for Face & Bikini (2 Packs)

★★★★★

I used to go to sugar parties a few years ago, but obviously these are not happening right now, and I was looking for a product to try doing it on my own. I loved the simple organic ingredients for this one. (note: don't eat it. I kinda wanted to lick it off my fingers (is that gross? lol), but tea tree oil is a poison when ingested even if all the other ingredients are 100% edible). The consistency is like honey when you warm it up, and it was hard for me to imagine that honey could take my hair off, but boy did it! I'm convinced, however, that technique and using the right strips have as much to do with its success as anything. First of all, you have to have long enough hair to pull- If the hairs are too short, it's not going to be able to yank them out. I did this on my arms. I warmed it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds which was the perfect temp for me. Then I used a butterknife to apply which I liked better than the disposable pop-sickle sticks. I applied each time in the opposite direction of my hair growth and then patted down a Moom polycotton waxing strip on top of it and would sorta gently rub it/pet it down for a few seconds to really allow the strip to fuse to the goop. Then I'd take a deep breath and RIP THAT SUCKER off as FAST as absolutely possible in the opposite direction of the hair growth. If I got lazy and didn't rip fast enough, it wouldn't really work. Sometimes I could use the same used strip with all the goop already on it and then pat it down on a different area and could still successfully rip the hairs off. The results were STUNNING! Worked a little too good actually... I kinda felt naked after all my arm hair was gone. I didn't like having hairy arms, but now I'm still deciding how I feel about bald arms... haha. The clean up was super easy too. Because it's mostly just sugar, it melts right off in warm water. I actually got a large pot and heated some water and stuck all the used strips in there to melt off the goop then pulled them out and ran them under the tap to rinse them well and hung them up to dry. It's really great to know that I can do this all by myself more cheaply and easily than I imagined. So to summarize: Great product, you MUST have long enough hairs, technique is CRUCIAL, and I highly recommend the Moom strips because I'm convinced this fabric grabs the goop better than others (plus you get a ton of them in the package and they will last you forever).

I was beginning to lose hope on the hard waxing because of the apply time, pain, and overall mess that it caused. A few days ago I was scrolling Amazon and decided to see what type of waxing was available ... then I came across this. I’ve never used sugar wax before, but I knew it had to be 1000x better than heating a unit, adding wax, checking the temp, prepping skin, applying, and ripping.
I was riiiight! This stuff is amazing, the mess is practically nonexistent— and it comes off with water it there is some residue. I used this with the MOOM reusable strips and WOW!!! You just hand wash them with water and it easily comes off as well... I left them to air dry (which the do fairly quickly) and clean up was done! I practiced on my husband since I waxed about two weeks ago and didn’t have enough hair. The removal was painless (he stated this) and as you can see from the amount of hair he has—- it came off soooo well and it’s very smooth. I actually look forward to sugar waxing my whole body! If you’re thinking about doing it, go for it. I’ve never used sugar before and it was super easy. Yes it is a bit sticky, but if you’re just applying to the skin there should be no mess. I’m not completely sure why others are saying it’s messy— bead wax is hell compared to this. I’m never going back to it! Heat for 10 seconds at a time, use a thick popsicle stick to layer, apply reusable strip, and let ‘er rip! I’d also like to note, this is perfectly fine for sensitive skin... now, what are you waiting for? Get to purchasing !

I don’t like to write reviews. Rarely does anything hit that actual 5 star experience. Dear God. This product is unbelievable. Don’t you hate how those CVS wax strips don’t catch every hair? NO PROBLEM HERE. Or how about those $70 giant bags of blue wax beads and wax warmer you splurged on that gets sticky blue s&$@ all over your floors and stays on your legs for DAYS? THIS LITERALLY WASHES OFF WITH WATER!! Unbelievable. Oh and their cloth REUSABLE strips? Unreal. Say goodbye to the mental anguish of not being a cheapie and trying to save your strips and reuse them NOPE. Use each cloth once per rip, then throw that sucker into a warm bowl of water to soak, neglect it for hours, come back remember it in the sink and rinse off SQUEAKY clean. I just ordered another jar i am so happy I found this THANK YOU. Used on arms foot toes (yesss we got some stragglers there) and arms and armpits. Bikini - YOU’RE NEXT!
