Hi girls, I thought you should know that poetic wax is sold in Canada under the name Wax-cellence for much less $$$. Contact the distributor @ 800-556-0701. It still comes in the enamel mug...

I haven't found a perfect home wax kit yet, but this is the best I've found, by far. I've used it for 2 years and have stopped getting professional waxing done (except I wouldn't try bikini waxing...

I must defend Poetic waxing. I use it for bikini and lip and it is the best thing short of paying someone else to do it. The thing I experienced last night, as other posters have mentioned, is...

I've been using Poetic for a few years now. It takes some getting use to preparing and applicating it. I really dislike the mug the kit comes in (not v. practical). But if you purchase a wax...

I bought this because I really hate shaving my legs and don't want to keep spending $100 every month to keep hair free. The bad news, the packaging is terrible. The first time I tried it with the...

The only other waxing product I have tried is strips - and I hated those - OUCH. I like Poetic Wax. I ordered mine from QVC and have ordered it about 3 times. It does take a little practice -...

I've been using this for a few years now. Waxing is never going to be pain-free or perfectly mess-free, but once I got the hang of this it was the best and least painful I've tried. It takes some...

NIGHTMARE. This was not only a hot, painful, messy, smelly, expensive disaster - it doesn't even remove hair. I returned the whole pot, used strips and all.

Thi sis the best home waxing kit EVER!!! Stripless is the best way to wax! Poetic wax is the cleanest most efficient at home wax you can buy. The red wax comes in a little tin mug that you heat...

Two words - PAIN FUL... Not that I expected ripping my hair out at the root would be pleasant, but this stuff REALLY hurts. I've used it on my eyebrows only and decided to stick with tweezing from...

After seeing this on TV, I really thought I would enjoy using this product for my face. I wouldn't waste my money on it again. It cools too fast and you have to keep reheating it. And I ended up...

Grrr, I desperately wanted this to solve all my hair removal needs. So much for hoping. This wax too absolutely forever to melt, hardened in a second, was very messy, extremely painful (and I am...

I love this stuff. It's the only product that doesn't leave me with a rash. I can't step foot in a salon to have my brows and lip done for fear of a rash that last two weeks. My kit came with...

I'm just so mad at this stuff. Why did I waste $40? I'll start at the very beginning..the stupid heating process. The instructions say to use a 'Bain Marie'. Ok, well I can't find mine (yeah,...

This is the best home waxing kit ever. I stopped getting professionally waxed after my usual aesthetician took off a full layer of skin giving me a bikini wax (yes, it was VERY itchy!). My skin...

I've been using this kit for years and love it. It's expensive, initially, but you can now buy wax refills (from blissworld.com), as well as refills for the cleansing lotion and oil, separately....

First off, this is a pain to heat up. the wax is in a mug (yes, a mug!) that you have to heat up, using a double broiler, or whatever it's called. i just used a pot with boiling water. They say on...

Made my face break out terribly and on top of that didn't work better than other less expensive things I had tried. Steer clear if you have sensitive, breakout prone skin.

I heard raves in all my magazines about Poetic Wax being the only at home waxing kit that works, so I shelled out $40 at Sephora and tried it. It took forever to heat up, and cooled very quickly...
