Review (4/5): No mess, no fuss but patience needed!
I was dire hard fan of Nair Roll On Wax Hair Remover until they stopped making it but where Nair failed with their roll on wax was the mess......dripping bottle with no way to stand the bottle of wax upright unless propped against something. In comes Belle!
Let me just say for the record, I bought the purple one with the base because apparently they have the pink one shown that doesn't come with the base. (I'm gonna order that one but I'll get to that in just a minute). This system is wonderful.....no mess, nice and clean and you can keep it on the base so that means it's upright and no worries about dripping wax. Once you've used it, I'd suggest wiping the wax head off just to get the wax residue off from your usage.
The base comes with an additional plug outlet on the side which is why I'm ordering the pink one for 14.99. It appears you can heat two cartridges at the same time and I'm ecstatic about that.
The wax it came with went on smooth and to my surprise only needed one more application to remove my underarm hair. Put a little baby powder under your arm prior to waxing as this will create a smoother process and absorb any oil and moisture. With the Nair Roll On Wax, I sometimes had to do three to four applications to get all the hair and ya know that's not good for your skin when you're waxing.
Now for the one star deduction.....I went back and forth with whether I should give 5 stars or 4 stars but I think 4 stars is still pretty darn good. The reason for this is the time it takes to heat the wax up. It took mine 25 minutes. That can seem like a long time when you're used to putting wax in the microwave and it's ready under 2 minutes. It's only a minor issue however the system definitely makes up for this plus you can order more cartridges in different scents.
Overall, great buy and you won't regret it. If you were a Nair Roll On Hair Remover fan like I was, you can kiss the days of paying for overpriced Nair rollers on Amazon goodbye, since they've discontinued it and third party sellers are trying to make an insane profit.
Edit to add......so apparently the pink one cannot be attached to the extra outlet. That outlet is for a different voltage but what the heck, I ordered it anyway. Can't go wrong with more than one hair removal system. I'll do a separate review on that one once I get it.
