4.0 out of 5 stars Do you have four hands?, October 20, 2006

Full disclosure: I am admittedly a complete novice at waxing myself.

So I bought this because I was tired of spending $50 on bikini waxes. The kit has almost everything you'll need for a full-on bikini wax, but not quite. To do this, you'll need in addition:

Baby powder
Wax off (for skin, not surface)
Four hands

I would have rated it 5 stars but I feel that the powder and wax removing lotion should have been included. Maybe in place of the concealer? It's this grey-brown makeup type stuff, I just don't see how it would work for anyone's skin tone and is rather arbitrarily included. FYI, the Cool-off gel burns like the dickens if there are any cuts or if your skin is abraded from the wax. And I couldn't figure out exactly where to put the resting bars. But I think with practice and those extra tools, it'll work perfectly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, except for one thing..., January 30, 2007

I love this kit. It comes with clear instructions, a good amount of product, and looks good. It's pretty good- plug it in/turn it on a little over an hour before you want to use it, and you have warm wax to get off your mustache or chin hairs quickly. Definitely value for money, here.

That being said, I only have one problem with the kit: why the h*ll would the company include a wierd grayish-taupe concealer instead of baby powder? You need the powder, and the concealer looks funky. And smells like paint.
And GiGi forgot to include the oil to remove wax in places you've accidentally glopped it. The one that's included isn't for your body, it's for countertops and such. GiGi makes one called "Wax Off" for the body, you can buy it here on Amazon. It's main ingredient is Mineral Oil, so if you have some at home you can skip the extra couple bucks. (BTW- you can use pretty much any oil- yes, even kitchen cooking oils- to remove the wax off your body. It might even be healthier, since mineral oil tends to clog the skin.)

So, In addition to the kit, you should have handy:
1. Baby powder.
2. Wax remover for the body.
3. Scissors to cut the muslin strips. (optional, but I found it useful)

2.0 out of 5 stars The Creme WAX is horrible, October 7, 2007

By 

Kerry (Fort Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GiGi Mini Pro Waxing Kit (Misc.)

I bought this kit primarily so that I could stop spending so much on professional Brazilian waxing. The warmer works well, however it takes about 45 minutes to heat up the wax. One thing that is nice about the warmer is that it has a control on it so that you can control the heat setting. It comes with applicator sticks, warmer collars and the cloth strips but not as many as the individual packets have. I would have rather bought the bulk packets so that I could have a supply. The creme wax it comes with is horrible. It sticks to your skin and is not effective at pulling all the hair off. I had to do tiny little sections just to get a little hair off. If you are looking to do a bikini wax, this creme wax is definitely the wrong wax to use. I spent an HOUR trying to do one and finally gave up. I have never used something so messy and ineffective. Also the kit comes with all these bottles of cremes and such that you don't need and fails to give you the powder and wax remover that you do need. If you are looking to purchase a kit, I would purchase everything separately. Buy the warmer, the wax, the Pre-Hon lotion, the dusting powder, the wax remover, the strips, the collars, and the applicators separately. Also this kit didn't come with good instructions. I had no idea how to use the applicator rest bars, and any idea what all the bottles of lotion and such were for and what order to apply them in.
