DIY WAX: HONEY MAGIC WAX


Looking for painless hair removal for a hair-free summer? Tons of waxing salons available out there but have no time for it? Good news ladies because Honey Magic Wax is here to save you from your lady-struggles. :)

Been there done that! I've been to that phase of regularly going to salons for hair removal on my armpits. A weekly visit become tedious in the long run and not to mention, getting pricey on top of our other lady-needs. 

I've also tried a product similar to this before and hurt my armpit like there's no tomorrow. It doesnt have a pre and post care product to go with it. Plus, I had to literally melt the pan on top of our stove. The only thing missing is me singing "kumbaya" while I'm at it. LOL.

However, there's always a rainbow after the rain right? So, I've discovered Honey Magic Wax on BeautyMNL or www.beautymnl.com
 And ladies, do try to check out that shopping site because I tell you, a lot of affordable and great products await you. Some stuff that cannot be found in the market are available here. It might surprise you as it did on me. 

Register an account first on the link stated above and you can pay thru PayPal, Debit or Credit Card which I got mine using my Debit Card.
If you order on the weekend, it'll be processed on Monday. My parcel arrived Tuesday.
The product itself costs 890 php plus 50 php for delivery with a total of 940 php.

The products are contained in a cute see-through pouch, which you can definitely use as a makeup bag or travel kit in the future!

They are numbered accordingly in order of use.
(1) Honey Magic Cleansing Solution / Pre-Wax Spray
(2) Honey Magic Wax

Also included are 2 bundles of wax strips and wooden spatulas. With the kit, are instructions of use which I will now delve on:

  • Honey Magic Cleansing Solution (Pre-Wax Spray): A soothing spray that preps the skin and provides it with a cool and comfortable feeling. 
    • Spray and spread it on to prep the skin. When applied, it gives off a cooling sensation as if your skin ate mint. :))  Just make sure you close your eyes when spraying on your pits to protect it.

And the main boxer in the ring....

  • Honey Magic Wax: A honey-based depilatory wax for fuzz-free healthy skin.
    • Microwave for 25-30 seconds only with the 2 lids removed. Please take note of this.



    • Use the wooden spatula to dab into the content and butter up your pits like bread or whichever area you want hair removed. Personally, I only do my pits and lower leg just inches above my feet where my hair is uneven. The good news however you can also use this baby "down there" if you know what I mean. Hehe!
    • The SCENT btw is heavenly! Legitimately smells like honey and isn't that strong. 
    • There are 30 wax strips ready-to-use included in the whole package of Honey Magic.



    






I am amazed on how clean this wax works! You can see the difference where the strip went off.  Your hair, btw, should be atleast 1/4 inch long for it to cling on. I have very thin hair on my pits including uneven growth. What I do with the missed hair is use the faithful lil' 'ol tweezers to finish the job. But, if you have it longer than mine, I think you wouldn't be needing the tweezers since it really does the work.

What about the pain? Compared to the product I used years ago that led to bleeding and made my chicken skin worse, this on the other hand was PAINLESS. I cannot believe it myself. I mean yes, the wax was a bit hot but very tolerable. As for the stripping part (we all know this is not everyone's favorite), it glided so smoothly and I almost felt no pain. Kudos to this!

Now for the POST-CARE:

  • Honey Magic Soothing Cream (After-Wax Cream): A post-wax treatment that helps calm skin and relieve inflammation.
    • Apply this on areas waxed to soothe the area.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK:

How to remove the sticky residue? You can soak cotton in water or use baby oil. It usually does the trick!

Where to get extra wax strips? I'm sure some of us do a full-body waxing and might be short on the available strips that come with the package. You can actually buy extra's and have different length choices at our very reliable local drugstore, Watsons. I visited the one of the outlets and they have 2 brands available, costing around 20++ php with usually 12 sheets each. So, there you go! Future dilemma solved! :)

Honey Magic Wax helped me prep for a swimsuit funshoot last weekend. Sharing some of the RAW photos also by J3 Photography (no filters/edits to show my skin specifically the legs and pits):

FOLLOW UP BLOG ON THE PRODUCT:
** My armpit hairs grew thinner the next week!
** The Honey Magic Soothing Cream can also be applied after plucking to relieve redness/inflammation! Since there are times I just need to remove a few hairs I resort to plucking. I tried applying the Honey Magic Cleansing Solution as a pre-treatment and both products worked great either by wax or by tweezers!
