GIGI Wax Warmer

I have been waxing myself since the last 12 years and always wanted to buy a wax warmer. Bought this product as it was on sale along with waxing strips, 14 oz wax can and a [useless] DVD. I have considerable experience in self waxing and one thing I can tell for sure is that all those other supplemental products (other than the wax itself) are just waste of money. Baby powder or any generic powder will work just as well to rid your skin of any pre-moisture.

Just place the wax can into the warmer, remove its plastic lid, and turn it on high. It takes a good 30 minutes to heat up to the right consistency. But some tips I picked up were to use a metal butter knife instead of the wooden/plastic spatulas you can buy at the store - it works like a dream and is reusable. Also instead of buying the expensive cloths to remove the wax, I just cut up strips of an old pair of jeans....you can cut atleast 50-60 strips this way.
