Eh, this was ok. I like the all-purpose Honee a lot better. The hemp wax didn't work quite as well and I find the smell very unpleasant.

I love this stuff best wax ever! I've tried lots of other at home waxes before and they all suck. You just heat this in the microwave, apply with a wooden stick, cover with their muslin strips, press down all over for like a minute to make sure it is on the skin well and rip in opposite direction of hair grown and it gets EVERY SINGLE LITTLE HAIRS. If you have wax bits left just cover with the muslin and pull and all the wax bits should come off onto the muslin, leaving you with a clean surface. I use it mostly for my upper lip and eyebrows, which is tricker to get it to the right hairs but this stuff is super great and I have had the same tub for like over a year but I don't use it anywhere else on my body. It does get kinda red after but it goes away. Don't apply too thick onto the face or it can pull off kinda harshly.

This wax is the best so far and I have uses every Gigi wax except for the GiGi Chocolate creme wax. This works good on coarse and fine hairs alike. Doesn't dry out skin. The only thing is that its a little sticky and messy. Also the smell is ok but might give a bad impression.

This would be perfect if it would be less sticky and messy like the GiGi Azulene wax. The Azulene wax also didn't dry out my skin. However the GiGi Azulene wax makes my skin itchy, and almost breaks out into a rash especially on my thighs. This his is the only reason I prefer the Hemp wax.

If only they can take out the chemicals like the blue artificial color and proplylene glycol out of the Azulene Wax.
This would make it perfect because its the cleanest, not sticky and less messy wax that works on coarse hair. I was surprised that it wasn't sticky and messy like other waxes.

Well, I'm going to try The GiGi Chocolate creme wax and others soon. The search continues, until then its the Hemp wax.

First off, no, you do not get high on this. I've been asked this before. If you're familiar with hemp products this smells just like hemp. There's actually hemp seed oil in this and the wax is greenish. I've tried pretty much all of GiGi's wax kits and this is my favorite because it's not too sticky or messy and it's pretty gentle. I use this on my face, I'm pretty hairy and within a few minutes I am done with little to no redness. The only other thing I use from the kit aside from the strips and applicators is the "Wax off." You will need it to get the left over wax off. The wax lasts me a long time, I just have to repurchase the strips and applicators which are pretty cheap.
