			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">I recently had the privilege of trying <a href="http://www.bodybybrigitte.com/index.html">Body by Bridgitte</a> </span>wax strips kits.These kits can be found at <a href="http://www.ulta.com">Ulta</a>.</p>

<p><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pros:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It wasn&#8217;t gooey sticky. It only stuck to the hairs I wanted to remove and not to my surrounding skin.</li>
<li>The initial pull wasn&#8217;t painful.</li>
<li>It wasn&#8217;t messy at all.</li>
<li>Didn&#8217;t cause any tenderness after waxing.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cons:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It took about 3 pulls/tries to remove all the hair.</li>
<li>The pre-wax towelette did not smell all that great.</li>
</ul>
<p>I decided to test wax a small area because I did not know what to expect. I think it&#8217;s best to wax a small area instead a large area all at once since it will take more than 1 pull to remove all the hairs. This will prevent the pain.</p>

</ul>
<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t smell as bad as Nair and Veet, but it still does stink. It doesn&#8217;t wash right off like it&#8217;s advertised. You have to use a washcloth or something to wash it off. You also have to leave it on much longer than 3 minutes for it work. It doesn&#8217;t remove all the unwanted hair, and there&#8217;s barely enough product in the can for both legs. I&#8217;m really beginning to think these hair removal cremes don&#8217;t ever work and I should just stop trying them out.</p>
