Elizabeth Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Update: 2-9-06 1:30 a.m. I have enough testers at this time. Looking for a few people who are familiar with "sugaring" wax depilatories (hair removal) to try out my new recipe and offer me feedback. If interested, please PM me with your name and address and I'll send some out to you.Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Cool. I'm not familliar with that type of hair removal, so I'm not sure I'd be a good tester. But it would be an interesting trial. Does the sugar leave your skin soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The sugered wax doesn't seem to rip skin the way many waxes do. I wax all the time cause I hate hate hate to shave! Did I mention I hate to shave??Sign me up girl! WOOOHOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hiya Sara,I'm not really sure that the sugar lends anything to the skin in this application, but as Bunny mentioned, it does lend to KEEPING your skin LOLIf you've never waxed before, this might not be the "test" for you lol!I really would like people that are experienced "waxers" to participate in this as they are somewhat desensitized to the pain of it all and can focus more on the product's performance. It really is true, you do get used to the pain!!I'd be happy to send some along to ya though if ya just wanna see what's what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I do my eyebrows all the time with wax. I have tried the sugaring methods before but didnt seem to work for me.Can this be used on...well...lets just say "private areas"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Oh no. Momma's done experienced waxing. Tweezing. The Epilady (do you remember that thing - LOL). Just never sugaring... I'd be happy to test some, if a non-sugared tester is OK. But didn't want to do it if you were looking for expert sugarers.Sounds interesting!!

bravo5 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Would this be something like the "nad's" brand stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd love to be a tester if u need an extra! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd love to be a tester if u need an extra! :smiley2:Yes of course Terri! I'd love for you to test this out for me.I think I've got about 10 tester peeps now so that ought to be enough.Thank you all so very much for agreeing to try this stuff out. And remember, use at your own risk! LOLHopefully the beauty supply carries the paper strips as I prefer those. If not, I will include muslin strips and spreader sticks for you all. Please send your feedback to me via the PM system.I plan to get this sent out to you all on Friday. It won't be any special packaging, just what I have available so don't feel the need to provide feedback on that /hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejen Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Liz, can't wait to hear about the results on this. Please let us know how the testing went. I'm curious. You go girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Will do Theresa!I was my own guinea pig with this and I thought it worked great! Very curious to hear what everyone else thinks....I'm doing some research now to determine what EO's (water soluble) would be appropriate for this. From my reading I've discerned that Lavender might be the best bet. Any thoughts from any of you EO gurus?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekka Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Just throwing my name in there if you need additional testers! I think I've tried every wax on the market out there and have heard great things about sugar so I'm sure your product is wonderful! If you have enough... that's great but if you need more, I'd love to test! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleslh Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yes Liz, please keep us posted on what the testers think. I find this interesting. The one time I tried to wax the private area, I left fingernail marks on the ceiling. Plus that area was a very pretty purple color for about a week. I didn't mind waxing my legs, but it takes too long for me. I can't sit still that long. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Wanted to give the newbies to waxing a few simple words of advice.Do not wax your armpits. It hurts, you can't wear deodorant for days, and did I mention it hurts?If you're gonna do the bikini line, you must have someone help you. Put on some ugly panties, and pull them to the line where you want your "triangle" to be. You're gonna get wax on them. It the hair is longer than 1/2 inch, break out the beard trimmer. 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch is ideal for the wax to grab the hair. Apply baby oil right after, it it'll only hurt for an hour or two if you're a newbie.Apply with the grain, pull against the grain. Happy waxing!

When it comes to the more "sensitive" areas, i know what works for me, but then again, I'm into pain:p (thanks for the great instructions bunner:yay: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
