Sally Hansen Microwavable Eyebrow, Face and Lip Wax Review

By Shaila Pawaskar

It was the day before the wedding of my best friend who had come down from the US.  I noticed some unruly hair above her lips and asked her to fix it. She quickly got the Sally Hansen Microwavable Eyebrow, Face and Lip Wax Kit out from her bag and removed the hair. It seemed so easy and quick that I decided to own one immediately.

My Experience with Sally Hansen Microwavable Eyebrow, Face and Lip Wax:

I generally get my facial hair fixed in parlours, but on some occasions, it is necessary to take the matters in my hands.  The instructions are very easy. Put the tub without the lid in the microwave. It takes about 5 minutes to heat up the wax in the microwave. The temperature of the wax needs to be checked before applying or it may cause burns.  The plastic applicator feels a little weak, so I use use the back of one of my old metal nail files to do the job. The wax needs to be applied carefully on the desired area.  The layer needs to be thick, else it will break while pulling out the hair.  Keep the ends thicker than the layer to be able to grip it firmly, make sure that your tresses are secured behind tightly. I had to cut some of my hair since there was some wax stuck on to it and it refused to come off.

Once applied, I press it down to make sure it is firmly sticking to the skin and leave it down to dry for 30 seconds. Then, the wax is to be pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair growth. The wax tends to get brittle if left for a longer time which causes it to break mid way. I use this product only on my upper lips, but for eyebrow waxing, they have provided three different eyebrow guide stencils.

These have to be stuck onto the eyebrows to give us a guide to shape eyebrows. They also prevent wax from dripping over the eyebrows.

The wax gives a clean finish pulling out most of the unwanted hair. A pair of tweezers is provided to remove those which are left behind.

  1. This sounds great Shaila *happy dance* *happy dance* very useful product *woot* *woot* i am surely going to look out for this one.. plus heating it in microwave is soo convenient *hifive* *hifive*

  2. Just a word of advice with this product when heating it. BE CAREFUL! Keep opening the microwave every minute or so to check if the wax has melted or not. I tried to use it once. I heated the wax in the microwave for 3-4 mins. When I opened the microwave, the wax had melted and it overflowed. I used a kitchen towel to help removed the container before the wax hardens. I had not realized that the container had a whole in the bottom and all the hot wax dripped on my hand. I had to go to emergency room and had I was told I had a second degree burn.
