Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was looking for a replacement wax to what I have used for years (they don't make it anymore). A good wax in my opinion, doesn't require you to use strips or a warming machine. I read the reviews on Cirepil. MANY commented you have to use the blue colored wax. I also read some about pebbles and some sold solid in a container. The solid container was desired, but not at approximately $150 US dollars. I bought a bag of the dark blue (looks almost black) wax pebbles for about $20. I picked up a product plastic cup from a beauty supply store (Sally's) for about $4 (see pic). Poured about 1/2 cup of pebbles into the container, microwaved for about three and a half minutes on high to melt the wax. Used a "Popsicle" stick to spread on my upper lip and brow areas. Waited about one minute and pulled the dried wax strip off. It removed all my hairs. I didn't have to apply another layer of wax or pluck any stragglers. The wax grabbed them all! I reuse my wax, you can be grossed out all you want. I don't share the wax with anyone and I use it on my face only. I've done it for years with no issues. This 14.11 oz bag of pebbled wax will last me years. The only thing I wasn't thrilled with is the wax when dabbing/swiping on my face, when pulling away, I was left with a long strand that stretched and could fall into my eyelashes or something. When pulling the stick away from your face to break the connection, it doesn't break away easily. That's not the end of the world, but took extra effort when trying to not get it on things. I read some comments that said it turned their skin blue. I'm thinking they used a different brand/type. The kind I purchased does not turn your skin blue. I do have sensitive skin, so of course the waxed areas were really red. That's pretty standard and the redness last for two to three hours. Even if I have it professionally done.
