I am typically not a cheapo when it comes to beauty-related things, as most of you can probably deduce. I do not shy away from spending money on hair cuts, or expensive makeup, or expensive face products, or whatever have you. But when it comes to waxing? I would much rather save myself the expense and do it myself. Not that I'm super hairy and would need to get it done often at the salon anyway, but I would much rather spend my waxing $$$ on some new makeup instead of getting my hair ripped out of its follicles by a no-nonsense esthetician.
Now, a couple of weeks ago I was on a mission to find a waxing kit, with good old-fashioned wax and strips. However, at my local Wal Mart, there wasn't a SINGLE kit to be found, so... to my chagrin, I had to go with waxing strips.
I will let it be known now that I am not a fan of waxing strips. I hate having to heat them up in my hands. I hate having to go over areas because it missed hair. I would much rather make trips to the microwave to heat the wax. BUT, since this was my only option at the time, and since it was a Parissa product, I figured that I might have better luck.
