well, you asked
So, i got the MOOM Sugaring kit today... i have to say it appeared just as advertised.
http://www.folica.com/Moom_Sugaring_H_d260.html
I heated it up to about the consistency of honey and got to work. The kit came with cotton strips, which i prefer, much easy to quickly pull up when you're not grabbing the product itself (as i often see 'stripless waxing kits, stay away from those! ouch!)
Now, i like to do the full brazilian look, and the kit suggested you let it grow out to at least 1cm before suagaring, it had a pleasant smell as it is made of all organic materials... so i applied the product with the supplied applicator stick. The important thing was to not overheat the product, it should not be too hot, so i followed those directions. I applied the lukewarm product about 1 inch wide and i had my pile of cotton strips ready...
i put the strip on, smoothed it against the product and let it settle for a few moments, took a deep breath and pulled (always pull opposite the hair direction and as close to your body as possible) Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as waxing (as they had promised). It was not 'painless' but it wasn't bad at all and it pulled up all my hairs where it had been right from the root! I repeated this process until i was totally bare and the results were just as smooth and hair free as waxing. So i would say that the MOOM Sugaring kit is going to be my new best friend
It only cost 19 dollars and you can reuse the cotton strips, and i would say i am going to get about 4 waxings out of the kit (good thing about the kit, is that they include 15 cotton strips which can be washed and reused for years... i washed them and they came clean as promised, ready for another round).
So compare 19 dollars for FOUR waxings to the 50 dollars for ONE waxing that i was paying the savings are obvious... i also enjoyed being in the comfort of my home and not having to make small talk with someone while they worked
For me, it was easier to do the sugaring myself instead of having someone else like i do when i get waxed. The package promises that it will last up to 8 weeks, so i'll have to see about that. But since it got the hairs at the root, that means it'll be a good three weeks before i'll see hair again and i like that
I would highly recommend this Suagring product
Also, i got TendSkin, because i sometimes break out in a slight red rash after waxing, so i also tried that after sugaring and it made the redness go away immediately.... now my skin and smooth and bare and not the least touch of redness.. here is the link to that product

So yes, i would recommend the Moom Sugaring kit and also the TendSkin
I'm pretty darn happy right now and feeling very sexy and confident
