Ardell Brow Shaping Gel Review - Not As Expected

Recently, I purchased a tube of pear-scented cold wax that came with muslin strips. It was for the purpose of waxing my eyebrows. In general, I prefer to have my eyebrows waxed by a professional in a salon, but in between waxes, I like to maintain at home.

Normally, I would use my microwaveable wax which I apply with little wooden sticks to the eyebrow area, wait for the wax to cool, and then gently rip the wax off of my skin It hurts for a split second but the results are good. While perusing the waxing section of my local store, I noticed they offered cold wax in a tube that is super sticky. You simply squeeze the tube and apply this cold wax around the eyebrow area, place the cloth muslin strip over the wax, rub in the direction of the hair, then pull the skin tight and rip the muslin strip off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.

Sounds straightforward…the result for me was quite different than what was promised, any course eyebrow hair that I had was left intact. Only the finer lighter hairs that I don’t really care about were removed. I was left with a very sticky forehead, bits of wax, and a muslin strip that I couldn’t reuse so

I was forced to use more muslin strips and when it was all said and done, I had 3/4 a tube of cold wax left and only a few muslin strips and guess what? Eyebrows that weren’t groomed the way I’d hoped they would be. I am going back to my microwave wax posthaste and I can’t wait for my next real professional eyebrow waxing.
