Cirepil - Blue - 400g / 14.11 oz Hard Wax Tin - Face & Body Wax, Unscented & No Strip Needed - Perfect for Sensitive Skin & Brazilian Waxing - Fluid Gel Texture, Easy Hair-Removal

Far better than the cheap Bead was you buy in bags. Will never go back. Gets many more hairs than the cheap competition! Cerepil BLUE is amazing, and recently bought their CASHMERE variety, and will only buy the BLUE (can find my review of that product on that page for a comparison). I would give Cerepil BLUE 6 stars if it was an option! Cerepil BLUE is now my only choice for wax beads. I am mid-40's and along with age-related new whiskers silver or dark, I get a fine layer of "baby fine" hair that is blond; I wax often (once a week) and this product does a great job getting them at their early grow out stage, especially when I do it on my morning face BEFORE a face wash! Stop paying for cheap wax beads! Cerepil wax beads are amazing in BLUE! I've been using wax beads for >5yrs (as a cost saver over the salon), and initially bought various brands solely looking at the price. Let me tell you not all BLUE wax beads are created equally! I never felt that they did as good as the salon however, at getting it all - especially the less course hairs that were just emerging. Then I read the reviews and decided to give Cerepil BLUE a chance (the reviews are stellar). WOW - the difference is undeniable! Totally worth the price, especially considering that you won't be red afterwards if you only have to do it once (very few redos - ever! The rare redo is usually because I try to wax 1-2 days early; once a week is my sweet spot). The cheap blue wax beads are hard when ready, and the Cerepil BLUE is semi-pliable, which seems to makes a huge difference. My first time I was unsure if it was ready. BUT I highly recommend following instructions not to do this on a freshly washed face. Another tip, have your hairdryer handy! I use the cold air setting and it apply wax to all of the areas then do a quick 20 second blow dry and 'voila!' no waiting - it's ready to pull off! You're welcome - you'll thank me later - huge time saver! :) By doing it on a clean face there is no protective layer of oil built up on your skin. That layer almost eliminates all redness after a waxing, and actually gets all of the hair BETTER because it's only adhering to the hair and not the skin cells. I find my best waxes are first thing in the morning (I typically wash my face at bedtime), and there is no tugging sensation on my skin (eyebrow area - zero redness/pink - it's miraculous). In fact sometimes I remove it and think immediately, "Oh darn that didn't get enough," - and actually it's the best removal ever because of only pulling away my hair - magical! I have at times however washed my face and realized I was overdue for a wax and gone ahead to do it. It still works, but misses more of the fine baby hairs if face is too clean. That being said, Cerepil BLUE still is far worth the price difference than other bargain wax beads, simply because of less redness and I have less to tweeze, and rarely need to have a redo on the same area twice! BIG time saver, and if you're doing an area twice with the cheap stuff, are you saving any money, actually? I was not compensated for this review.

I have used several different brands of wax beads and these are by far the best. The strips remove fairly clean, and if there are any bits left over they are easier to remove than other brands. You can use this wax at a lower temperature as well.

After reading all the positive reviews about how well it works for sensitive skin, I knew I had to try this. Granted, I've only waxed my face twice so far but I'm doing great and the second time, I knew more and had a better idea of the ideal temperature to work with. This stuff is fantastic, effective and so painless. It's really incredible. And I get no breakouts after! Because who needs more acne in their lives?? Not me! Lol I am absolutely loving how little hair is on my face now and I can't wait to try waxing my legs next!

I am newer to self waxing and have been trying out different beads to find my personal preference. Depending on your method of heating the wax I think it melts well together and doesn’t take too long. No strong scent. It dries quickly after setting on skin, and doesn’t leave behind much residue when applied and removed correctly. Edit: Helpful pro tip coming from a beginner here, let the wax cool or remain on a warmer setting before applying to skin. When heated too hot it can be much more difficult or painful to remove in my opinion. Really good wax when used on small areas and a little practice!

I ❤️LOVE❤️ this wax!!! I’ve been using it for about two years and I’ll never go back to using “soft” wax (wax that requires strips). I used to use the GiGi Honey wax with the strips for years. I thought that was the best thing since sliced bread until I was brave enough to try hard wax. I am not a professional, so this review talks about my opinions and things I learned through trial and error. They may or may not work for you. I used the tin of solid blue wax (not the beads). It works with the Gigi wax warmer. I also use the Cirepil Blue “lotion”. This will be the second time I’ve ordered this product. Since I wax only 1-2 times a month, a tin of wax lasts me for a long time. The Cirepil lotion will probably last me years. Pain level: Waxing is not pain free. (You are ripping your hairs out by their roots.) However, once you’ve done it once or twice you barely flinch. I’m a woman that gets those embarrassing “lady whiskers” on my chin, upper lip, and on my neck. I’ve waxed my face while on the phone and no one has been the wiser because I don’t even flinch. Same thing for my underarms. I have not waxed my bikini area because I’m just simply to chicken to do it. Things I like: 1. This wax is a million times less messy and easier to clean than the Gigi honey wax. If I got Gigi wax on my counter (or anywhere else) it was a sticky mess that would be there forever. This wax is self adhesive or something. If it’s on your counter, or clothes, or wherever, just get some of your used cooled down wax and press it to the wax you want to remove. It will come right off. Same thing goes for removing wax tidbits on your skin. 2. No strips are needed. 3. I can apply wax on multiple places at one time and they will still come off easily. The things I learned: 1. If you use the wax that comes in a tin, it heats up quicker and hotter the closer the tin gets to being empty. Common sense should have told me this, but it didn’t. This girl right here almost needed skin grafts after scraping the lava at the bottom of the tin and applying it to my skin. So I’m giving you a heads up. 2. The Cirepil “lotion” recommended to be used with this is not a lotion. It’s a liquid. You get a buttload of it (like a liter) and it will last forever. Not sure if it’s 100% necessary (because I’ve never not used it), but I like it and will keep using it. 3. My Gigi wax warmer doesn’t have temperature settings. It just has on and off. Wax consistency: If the wax is like a liquid, it’s too hot. If it so solid that you can invert the applicator stick (I use the big popsicle sticks) without it *trying* to drip it’s too cold. If it’s too cold, when you pull the stick away it leaves strings of wax behind that look like spider webs. The spider webs aren’t *terrible* but it personally irritates me. 4. There is a tutorial on YouTube. It was helpful for me. 5. Some people suggest dusting your skin with powder first. I did that and i didn’t like it. I cleanse with the Cirepil lotion first then apply a light layer of oil before applying the wax . I used the Neutrogena body oil just because I had some around the house. I like it so I’ll keep using it. To speed up the wax drying (it’s already quick) I fan myself with a cheap dollar store hand gel fan. Don’t judge me. I’m talking about the kind the ladies fan themselves with in Sothern Baptists churches. When you pat the wax with your gloved hands and it fells dry, pull the skin tight and remove in the opposite direction of hair growth. Then I used the Cerepil lotion afterwards. 6. I had never waxed my underarms before. I got brave and tried it. Holy cow! Smoothest and barest pits of my life. I hope this review was helpful.

I had my first Brazilian professionally done at least 6 years ago and vowed I would never to do it again. Years of using depilatory creams and shaving almost daily just started getting to me. Then randomly, one day I decided "Hey, why don't you give yourself a Brazilian? You do your eyebrows regularly, it can't be that much worse." So, after watching several how-to DIY Brazilian videos on YouTube, I mustered up the courage and went to my local beauty supply store and purchased a very popular, off-the-shelf brand of microwaveable hard wax and set to work after popping two Advil and psyching myself up. I didn't last 10 minutes before I called it quits and cut the remaining "hard wax" out of my hair and lady parts, jumped in the shower and shaved the rest because I wasn't fond of the random bald patches look I had going on. Determined, I started doing more research and realized purchasing the product I did was my first mistake. I then came across a very thorough video of a self-Brazilian wax and noted in the comments that the creator was using a blue hard wax that looked like a shimmery jelly. It was Cirepil Blue. Without a second thought, I hopped online and placed an order through Amazon. Item arrived in two days with regular shipping and all I had to do was wait the alloted 3 weeks for the hair to grow back in. In the meantime I went it and bought a professional wax heater -- no more microwaveable anything for me again! When that time came, I prepared my materials and got to work. I was immediately prepared to have a repeat of previous self disaster with tiny screams, bleeding, and sore, tender parts but with that first wax piece laid down and then subsequently pulled off, I was so shocked. HAPPILY SHOCKED! The pain seemed to go from a 10 (being the most painful) to a mere 3/4 (mild sting and then gone). The hard wax dried down to a pliable rubber consistency that didn't turn brittle and into a questionable plastic-like mess from the previous retail brand I tried. Which meant it had a better grip on my hairs and was gentler on my skin. After about an hour, I was done: hairless, smooth, and in no pain and no sign of tenderness whatsoever. I was so surprised. I can now see you truly get what you pay for. I am now going on my third week since my first time with the Cirepil Blue and I am still smooth! I will never pick up another razor and I'm saying a forever goodbye to Nair, Veet, etc.! I have since used it three times to wax my underarms (2x) and my eyebrows (1x). And I can't believe I'm writing but I am actually looking forward to my second go at a self-Brazilian with the Cirepil Blue. I'm hooked! This is amazing stuff. I don't even want to try another brand! TIPS: (1) You want to make sure that when melting the wax that you have a soft ball in the center -- it shouldn't be completely fluid. Also, pick up the wax on your applicator from the center NOT from the sides where it's too hot and too fluid. (2) Apply a lightweight oil (I use sweet almond oil) before application of wax but make sure you remove the excess or else you won't get a proper adhesion to the hairs. I find after wiping away the excess that I apply a little talc-free baby powder really helps. Hairs embed into wax and come up all on the first try. (3) I didn't have any issues with any wax residue being left behind on my lady parts but did when I waxed my underarms. If you do, take an old piece of the hard wax and press the shiny side down onto the wax pieces left behind, press down firmly and then with a pull it off. Instantly and quickly removed so clean up time was cut down. (4) Do make sure to apply some type of skin calming and soothing product to the freshly waxed area after you're finished. Really helps cut down on post wax irritation and sensitivity! Happy waxing! ;)

I'm giving this a 5 star rating although it really deserves a 4.5 (but that's not an option) I am pretty old to the waxing game (I wax myself and my VERY close friends). The first heating of the wax took about 30 minutes which was normal. I've read many of the prior reviews; good and bad. Things I noticed as I waxed compared to what reviewers wrote. It left a blue color on the skin: False. I have no blue residue at all on my skin. I prepped and cleaned up with some tea tree oil and it left everything nice. Another thing I noticed on a poor review was that "you have to apply so much in order to rip it off" well yes.. There's a certain thickness for hard wax to work at it's best BUT that is a known quality of hard wax NOT this wax. Also some comments about the smell. It smells like wax. Totally tolerable I actually forgot about it almost instantly. Hard wax is not for everyone, waxing yourself in general is not for everyone so if you can't handle the subtle wax smell... Don't wax. My own personal CON to this wax: my skin was very red for over an hour after waxing. (This is where the half of a star deduction comes from) I have been waxing myself for a very long time and I do have sensitive skin but never had this much redness before. I can definitely live with it. I've tried " clean and easy hard wax acai berry" good smell, EXTREMELY stringy, decent hair removal. 3 stars. Another wax I have tried is "Satin Smooth Calendula Gold Hard Wax" also a 3 star wax. Smell was not the best but tolerable, decent hair removal, awkward cream color. And last but not least the classic "GIGI Brazilian Body Hard Wax" I'll give this one a 4 because it was the first wax I used and it's a pretty safe and classic beginner wax. Smell is not important wax removal isn't bad. NONE of these waxes though come even close to the hair removal capabilities of Cirepil Blue Wax. I am a very thick haired Italian and this removed my hair with 1 application. Not once did I have to go over a spot for a second time. It was amazing. Yes hard wax used a lot in order to remove but I used so much less wax only applying over each spot once that it made it worth it. So because I have tried a few different waxes this is the one to use!

I wanted to love these... but while I could make longer strips, it just ripped the hair instead of ripping the hair out.
