okay so, I'm normally one to tell everyone never wax at home
its just so much better to go to a salon.
heres my problem, I'm taking a trip in about a week
after planing out a budget and all that, I just dont have any left for waxing.
well okay, I'll go in for the brazilian, but to add the legs, is like, almost 70 dollars.
I would just shave but, I really have issues when it comes to it.
no matter how new the razor is and if I exfoliated and all that, I just always miss some
and for me it grows back almost that day.

So, from past experiences, any suggestions?
I thought about trying the veet ay home waxing strips, the ones that come with wax on them and you just warm them up with your hands, but, there seem to be a lot of negative reviews online about them.
The only time I tried to wax at home was about 5 years ago.
it was a heat the wax spead it on type, and it didnt remove any of the hair
plus left that awful residue
I'd really love to have them professionally done
just beucase they are so much better, and its less effort for me, but its just not an option

okay sorry for the long post, basically, have you ever waxed at home, if so what products do you use.

I always wax at a salon and it usually lasts about 2 to 3 weeks.
But this one time I did it at home it lasted a little over a month, so it was kind of weird and I think it was because I used something a little different..
There's this thing called sugaring that you can prepare at home, you'll only need lemons and, well.. sugar!
After waxing you'll feel really gross and sticky but it works wonders. :]

Make sure you use the thermometer though, because if it doesn't reach the "hardball candy stage" it might not work.
