Hello lovelies!!!
I'm back and somewhat excited! Ahahaha! 3 years already passed! Gosh! *o* And believe me a lot happened to me: both ups and downs in terms of life and health but thanks to God's unending grace, glory and love...I'M BACK! And I never thought that I would actually, but thanks to my officemate who inspired me to be back to blogging, I'm here! Anyway, enough of the drama. Here's my comeback post for 2017! (mid-2017, that is xD)
Glam Works Body Wax Strips
But first what is a Wax Strip?
Unlike the common hot wax or cold wax, that you need to put first the wax directly on your skin then topped it with the cloth as a mean of support in pulling off the hair, the wax strip has its wax already placed on the cloth--ready to be used on skin.
Actually, I only consider using this for I got tired of using hot wax because it is sooo messy and full of effort to do, in short due to my laziness--which is not a good reason ladies and gentlemen. *when it comes to skincare remember: don't be lazy and please be patient or else you'll regret it, believe me*

Okay I will not go into details about the ingredients, but let's be mindful that it has Aloe Vera extract (at least not on the bottom of the list), Ricinus Communis Seed Oil (Castor Oil) and Parraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil)
- Aloe Vera - Okay good, it soothes the skin but also aids in hair growth, right? Hmm??
- Castor Oil - a wonder oil...for growing hair...why?? o.O
- Mineral Oil - Okay I will not discuss this further because there's still a debate if it's good or bad for the skin.
Disclaimer: I'm not a chemist or an expert in terms of extracts and such. What I stated above are the general knowledge I know. So please don't antagonized me xD, but corrections and insights are welcome. Thank you. :)

| Glam Works Body Wax Strip Sample and Finishing Wipe |
Just a background story, don't imitate what I did with this product or else you'll suffer like me.
So here it goes, as stated on on the box it is for the arms, bikini lines and legs--and being me, a headstrong--I tried it on my armpits and tummy area, due to laziness and frugality (don't want to do self hot waxing nor pay extra for a waxing session in a waxing salon), and guess what happened? I hurt myself and ended up having cystic pimples on my tummy area and worst of all it darkened my armpits bigtime! As in major dark! Darker than Voldemort!--get it? Voldemort? Dark Lord? Fine. Sorry. -.-"
However! For the good stuff! (Actually, the bad stuff is entirely my fault--so girls and boys, do follow the instructions, but then again--it was not stated that it can't be used on armpits and tummy, right? Chos! Just kidding! xD)
In terms of using it on my legs, the wax strips really deliver. No, that's an understatement--IT'S AMAZING: money wise and quality wise.
I bought it 2 months ago and still I have a half strip remaining. And a strip and a half is enough for my legs (armpits and tummy included, see how headstrong I am? Even with what had happened I still used it on my tummy area and armpits xD).
The trick is to cut it in cross sections. Moreover, on using it on my armpits, I limit it to only four tries, more than that it will surely sore BIGTIME--but then again, I still advise you guys to not use it on your armpits, for the skin there is much sensitive than that of our legs and arms.
The Verdict...
Pros:
- Affordable, imagine 199 Php for 2 months worth of waxing sessions
- Less effort, put it on then pull it off, easy as that (except on armpits)
- I like the Finishing Wipes because when I hurt my armpit, I put it on and it helped ease the pain. And it lessen the sticky sensation.
- Easy to find
- Box Wise: Full of information, tips, dos & don'ts and of course, the expiration date.
- Leg & Armpit Hair are thinner
Cons (disregarding my armpit & tummy incident):
- You need to re-apply it. One application will not get it all.
- It hurtsssssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooobaaaaaaaaaad
- Sticky feeling after waxing
All in all, if I were not to consider the armpit and tummy part, this product would be my hair removal bestfriend--but sadly, it is not meant for my armpits.
Would I buy it again? No, due to thriftiness. xD An all in one wax is what I prefer but then again, if only considering waxing my legs, I'll definitely buy this product again. :)
