Adventures in waxing

Well waxing my face has gotten so expensive at 55 bucks every week and a half that I thought I bet I can do this! So I set out and did some research on home wax kits for sensitive skin for your face. I ended up getting suddenly smooth for sensitive and fair skin with all the stuff you need to get for a wax job. After a buy one get one free on my wax pot and a 15% off coupon I found online it was only about 20 bucks more than getting my face done where I normally go. And I don't have to hear her tell me every time I go in what a great deal she is giving me, how sad she is about my face hair, and over and over "so much hair" Now come on...I am not an ogre! Sheesh. Not to mention I now have enough wax for a couple years! Who knows I may get frisky and try my underarms or legs...Maybe.

So as you can see I am all set up. I test the wax like they said on  my wrist ok this isn't bad...now I put it on my chin...ok strip on...rub rub rub. and PULL! 3 Hairs came off...only 3!!! There must be an art to waxing I am missing but I am determined to not give up. And trudge along. Rip rip RIP! I am happy to say that I did get a bit better the more strips I tried. But I have some practice to do...I can't seem to get under my chin on my neck area as I can't see it haha! Guess I will have to work something out with that. Thank goodness for tweezers to help after! It took 3 times as long as going to get it done but I am sure practice with help with that too.

 

My face is a bit red but I expected that. I will see if I break out like I do occasionally with a new product on my face. Hopefully not. I also want to look for a cooling antiseptic for my face I think....I rubbed some rubbing alcohol all over it when I was finished and let the burn go! (Thank goodness for a cool setting on my blow dryer to help cool off the sting)

 

Overall I think I made the right choice in going for the at home method. that's 100+ dollars I can now spend on important things like kitchen gadgets or shoes! A girl has to have priorities you know...

 

Now to see what the hubs thinks when he gets home...
