There’s nothing I hate more than seeing a great swatch photo and to see arm hairs in the shot. Not sure why this bothers me so much but it’s one of the reasons I remove the hair on my arms. And my preferred way to remove it is with depilatory creams. They seem to last the longest and keep skin smoother and hair-free the longest.

Completely Bare Hair Removal 

And wow, have come a long way since the 70’s and the awful smell that came along with using one; they usually smelled like rotten eggs. Ewww! The latest one I tried is from COMPLETELY BARE.

Easy Off! Foaming Hair Removal Spray – This melts that hair quickly and contains volcanic ash and shea butter to keep sensitive skin protected and moisturized.

Not Feeling It Pre & Post Numbing Mist – can be used before or after waxing, shaving or depilatory creams. Contains Lidocaine and is hypoallergenic.

When it comes to the foaming spray, here is what I liked about it – quick removal of the hair (left on about 4 minutes), no burning during or after use on my arms and no smell. I didn’t have to use the numbing spray as I thought I might afterwards. Big plus!

What I didn’t like – when dispensing the foam, it went on my arm but also sprayed foam randomly off in the air around bathroom, so it was a little messy. My cats go into my bathroom so I don’t like that a droplet of this remover could splash on the floor and they could step in it. Yeah, this could happen with any product, really, but this sprayed more than a little off target.

Also, remember this method I wrote about a while about for getting truly soft legs for days? I still use it to this day!

I think at this point I’ve tried just about every category of product available. And even though there are a few things I don’t really like, there are very few things I flat out hate but I do have to say that waxing, as in waxing my legs or bikini area, is one that fall into that category. It just plain hurts every time! But brows? It’s a necessary evil to wax that area but it’s certainly not as bad as waxing a huge area like the legs or sensitive area like the bikini line.

So whenever I have received any kind of home waxing kit in the mail, it automatically went into the “giveaway bin.” I just know I won’t try it as I already know I’m not a fan. But for some reason, when I received the COMPLETELY BARE All In One Travel Wax Kit ($9.99 @ ulta.com), I didn’t automatically toss it into the bin. Instead, I opened it up and investigated. It’s doesn’t use any heat. It’s simply waxed strips (12 face strips and 6 bikini strips) that you rub between your hands to warm it up a tad, stick one side of the strip to the area, smoothing it on so you have full coverage, and then quickly ripping it off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
