It removes the hair very well, perfect for course hair (public, under-arms). I cannot seem to get it to appropriately remove the hair on my legs. I will also warn that it leave many many maaaany blue wax bits (broken flakes) all over the place. Just be aware that this is not something you want to do on carpet. Do it in the bathroom or on a hard floor surface removing any rugs or other furniture. The blue wax bits can get stuck and you have to spend time cleaning it up. I believe the solution to this would be to use more wax or not let it sit too long, because it will get hard and flaky, not wiggly like other wax you may be familiar with. Overall, it is still very good and gets the job done! :] Read more

I have the wax warmer from this brand from forever ago... years ago, but it is still one of the best. The blue beads of the samples I got in the warmer were the best for me... for... facial hair, chin and mustache. This stuff works well and you don't need too much for the face. It does stick to coarse hair. There is a scent, but it's a nice, beachy smell, kind of oceanic and subtle. Really good value for the bag size you get. I used it tonight and it got the job done. Like all hard wax, there is a learning curve and I recommend watching videos of how to shape the strip and how to pull it, how to apply pressure when putting the wax down, etc. I really like these beads. I will be back for more when my bag runs out. My hair is thick and coarse, so I need stuff that can yank it out and keep it gone for a while, so this will do nicely. I don't use these for my legs. There is another color of bead for waxing legs that this brand makes, but I also just don't trust myself to wax such a large area. Still, for what I need these for, they work great. Read more

I'm still a newbie to home waxing. I was recently mesmerized by a YouTube video showing the magic of using Hard Wax beans for hair removal and decided to purchase a warmer and various brands of Hard Wax Beans. When this arrived, I thought the free Lei was a nice touch, I love little touches like this! Now onto the wax itself... Ok, so the 1st time I used it, I'd just finished working a night shift and after getting home, I thought it'd be a great time to try out my new Kolua Wax, because we all make such WONDERFUL choices after being awake for 15 hours and running on the fumes of an energy drink! Ha,ha,ha! I poured about 1/4 of bag into the warmer and cranked it up as hot as I could get it, because I wanted to melt it down as fast as possible so I could get down to business. After about 15 min it was melted down and I scaled the temperature back to 160, so I wouldn't end up with 3rd degree burns. I dipped the stick into it and as I twirled it, I noticed that it was REALLY watery and stringy-but whatever! I twirled away the strings as best as I could and sitting up on the sink with my legs opened, I attempted to give myself a Bazillion bikini wax. I didn't want to do too big of an area, to start off with, so I applied about a 1" dab onto my crotch. Again, LOTS of strings as I pulled the stick away. I waited a minute, grabbed a corner of the wax, took a deep breath and PULLED as hard and as fast as I could. AAAACK!!!!! Unfortunately, instead of pulling away in a nice solid strip, it was like GUM stuck to my pubes and skin.... OMG... It was a NIGHTMARE... I was trying to pull out these evil little balls of wax, with my pubic hair stuck to it; it was like the Chinese Death of a Thousand Cuts... At one point, I tried to pry it off with scissors, but I was afraid of cutting myself, so I stopped. I just could NOT get it out. I finally resigned myself to having to spend the next few months with this gob of wax stuck to my lady bits, until it grew out enough for me to cut it out. Anyways, I cleaned out the rest of the wax from the warmer and put it away. Eventually, I was able to get the rest of the wax out of my pubes using frequent applications of coconut oil and shampoo and conditioner. I was a little gun shy after this experience, but I decided to give it another go. This time, I decided to try using it after being well rested. I also decided to SLOWLY warm up the wax, instead of melting it down as fast as possible. I set my warmer to 185 degrees and after about 45 minutes it had melted down nicely. WOW-what a difference!!! This time it wasn't watery, it was a nice honey like consistency and not nearly as stringy as it was the 1st time I used it AND it came off in one piece, instead of breaking apart like gum. With about 1/4 of the bag, I was able to wax my face, my armpits, my abdomen and give myself a brazilin.. Some areas did take more than 1 application to complete, but each time I pulled the strips away, there was hair on it, so it was doing the job nicely. I decided to give 4 stars instead of 5, because like other's have said, it didn't do a good job with removing leg hair, maybe once I get more efficient with waxing, I'll be able to make it work for my legs, and if so, I'll change it to 5 stars. But, it's a good deal, the bag will last for awhile and it smells pleasant, so I'd recommend trying this. I'm still experimenting with waxing, to see what brand of wax I like best, but I could see myself purchasing this one again. Read more
