Recently decided to stop going to the salons & waxing spa's to cut down cost. Boy, it adds up quickly. So , I decided to invest in my own waxing kit. I bought the warmer and picked up this Purean Hard Wax Beans as it was recommended by a friend. i tried this pass weekend and it works great. Painless on your skin, easy (and I'm not even a pro!) Pulls out the hair without using a cloth strips, has a pleasant lavendar smell & ther's no need for pre-powering your skin before use. I recommend for those that want to vut expense out of a women's daily routine by paying someone else to do, when you can do this at home for free. Best investment I've made.
