I have a hard time finding a chance to get to the salon with three young kids and a husband who works a lot. Found this and thought I would give it a try.
Holy, batman! I don't think I will ever go back to the salon. It cost be $10 and I will probably get another two uses out of it before I need a new box. Each time I go to salon it is at least $18 with tip.
I have very sensitive skin and get super red (like the ladies get all freaked out-so red). I am red from this gel but not nearly what happens to me when I get them waxed. This gel also smells so amazing!

I just put a little gel out at a time and had no problems where I placed it. Also cut my strips in half. I did use tweezers a few times to get the ones left behind. This stuff is AMAZING!! What are you waiting for? Go get it and try for yourself!

I do wish the hole the gel comes out was closer to the tip of the pen. 😬

This worked the very first time I used it, and every time since it's just gotten goop in my eyebrows. I used the cleansing swatches as directed, followed all directions, tried watching youtube videos... Since it worked the first time I was convinced that I must just be doing something wrong, so I tried many many times again in determination to figure it out.

I'm generally very skilled when it comes to stuff like this - I'm not clumsy and usually get it right. This product was frustrating and very difficult to work with - I find it's not worth my time, and have given up using it. I do think that it's probably an ok product, since as I said, it did work for me once. However, I do not think a product should be as finicky as this is and I don't think it's worth the time or money.

For reference I have fair straight hair and fine blond hairs surrounding my brows. Perhaps they are too slippery for this product to work on me. After the first success nothing came out.

I used to buy this from cvs a long time ago and it seems they changed a couple things. The formula is not the same. It used to be really thick and you would have to warm the wand in a cup of hot water first. This new formula you can use right away but it's so thin and not as tacky therefore it doesn't pull the hair very well. I do like the reusable strips though. They are easy to clean and a cotton fabric material. The old one had this ribbon like material and was thinner and the product would seep all the way through.

I've tried all different brands and types of wax/sugar/whatever, and this is the best balance of ease of use and effectiveness.

This comes in a pen. The "nib" is flat plastic and maybe 3-4mm wide. Turn the back end, wax comes out the business end, and you use the flat bit to spread it onto where you want to wax. Take one of the muslin strips, lay it on top of the wax, give it a good rub to heat up the wax, and pull. This is one of those products that works great if you do it a certain way. The instructions tell you the basics, but don't give up on the first try. (Below I listed some tips that works for me.)

A major plus with Nads is that it's sugar based, not wax, so it washes off with warm water. The muslin strips are just like what they use in a salon, so easy to manipulate, grip really well, and though the kit comes with a good number of strips, you can wash and reuse if you want.

Some tips:
1) Roll the pen between your palms to heat up the wax a bit. It works best at body temp. (I stick mine under my arm for awhile. I know. But it works.)
2) The first use, you have to turn a the end number of times before anything comes out. But if you've gone nuts with the turning, you're going to get a lot when it finally flows.
3) Don't be stingy with the stuff. Get a good bead of wax on the tip, then apply. You can thin it out with the flat of the tip, but you need a something to spread.
4) Hold the skin taut as you spread in the direction of the hair growth. If it feels like it's already pulling hair, you probably need a slightly thicker layer of product.
5) When you put the strip on top of the wax, give it a good firm rub. It warms up the wax and makes it stick to the hair better.
6) Pull with the strip back, not up.

Good luck! (I can also reassure you that if you mess up, eyebrows generally grow right back.)

I usually get my brows done at a salon. Of course this costs about $15 plus tip, I saw this and thought that I could do the same thing myself and save some money. I was a little nervous of taking my whole eyebrow off since this was my first try at this myself, so, I started off only waxing a small portion. To my surprise this hurt ALOT LESS then getting it done at the salon and my brows weren't all red and swollen, nor did my eyes water profusely! It took the hair off just fine and I just needed to detailed them with a little tweezing. Also, the wax smells wonderful and washes off easily with soap and water! :)
