Oddly satisfying
The media could not be loaded. Full disclosure: I bought this as a white elephant gift for an office Christmas party. But then I felt a nose hair that was a little too out there. And I couldn't stop thinking about the little green box tucked away in my closet. I tried grabbing the hair with my nails. No good. It looked like I was picking my nose all the time. I tried tweezing, but my middle aged eyes are just not that good close up. So I decided to break the seal and rip my nose hair out with wax. First impressions: those pink sticks are HUGE. There's no way my nostrils will accept those (spoiler, they did). The paper cups seem pretty huge, I can't possible need that much wax (I didn't). So, I microwaved my little cup of wax over water. The paper cup started sagging as I stirred, but the plastic lining remained intact. I swirled the pink applicator in the wax, and jammed it up my nose. It took a bit to cool, so I did the other nostril while I was waiting. Then came the moment of truth. I pulled the stick out of my left nostril. But not hard enough because it was stuck. So I had an internal freak out for 2 seconds and yanked again. It didn't hurt! So I grabbed the right one and yanked. I should have waited a little longer on that one because it wasn't 100% cool and strings of wax were all over like some demented spider had jumps betwixt my nose and hand. The results were impressive. I did have to redo the right side because of my impatience, but the amount of hair that I had previously been sporting in my nares was slightly disturbing.
