Sweet Plum Soft Wax 16 oz

I held off reviewing the Plum Smooth Sweet Plum soft wax for a few months till I got used to it and I have to say I DON'T LIKE it one bit and won't buy it again.I went to school for Aesthetics and I've been waxing myself and friends for at least 3 yrs now, this is the second wax I have bought and didn't like, sadly this is much more $$ then the other. I thought since it was a bit more $$ that it would be good, yeah not so. I've waxed my underarms a few times with this wax and each time I end up with painful underarms that are RED and painful, and it takes at least 3 days for this to go away, again I've waxed with a few other waxes and only a soy wax did I have an adverse reaction to.The first time I used this wax I didn't have good results with it taking all the hair off, so I went over the area a second time with the wax, I realize you shouldn't go over the area a second time with wax but it wasn't catching the hair, I thought well that's why this happened, but I made sure NOT to do that again, but same thing happened and I did it again (hard to just toss wax that's $$) this time and it happened again, I did NOT reapply after the first application, but I used what was on the wax strip to try and pick up the left on the skin hair, I've done this with other waxes and NEVER has it left my under arms this way - that is non except a soy wax which I'll never touch again either.If you don't mind the price, the try it maybe you'll have a different reaction/results then me, but I found this not the greatest at taking hold of the hair (underarms, legs, back and bikini area) - I tried on high heat and low heat and each time I didn't have good results using this wax, OH and I did one other's under arms and yeah, she had a similar reaction to the wax as I. I would say use with caution, everyone reacts differently, but if I don't like how it works on me then I won't use it on anyone else.... Still on the hunt for a wax I love...

I had a leg and bikini wax with this product and liked it a great deal. In the past, I've used soy wax (Nufree) in salons and this is also a great product because it doesn't bond to the skin making it much less painful and more to the point doesn't cause near the amount of skin irritation. The Plum Smooth wax does the same thing but with the added bonus of having a more pleasant smell. I also found that I had even less post-wax irritation with this than with any other wax I've used. For my at-home waxing I've used consumer available wax strips like Veet, etc. but these universally are low quality and, in addition to being more painful (even to an experienced waxer like me), cause irritation and sometimes even bruising/broken skin in the more sensitive areas where the skin it thinner. This product is better than anything else I've tried and here's hoping that the results continue to be as good as the first couple times of use. As a side note - the other reviewer had negative results and correctly stated that what works for some people may not work with others - in my experience people that have not had good results with soy wax or the Plum Smooth due to irritation it has been because of allergies or incorrect use of the product, but these are generally considered to be much gentler on the skin than any sugar waxes or products you can purchase as a consumer.
