We Tried It: Nair Cire Divine “Bye Bye Ouch!” Formula

Share

Disclaimer: I’ve never waxed my own legs before. Just the thought of it freaks me out. So when I was told that Nair had a pain-free wax I was immediately interested. The summer is creeping up and so are our hemlines, which means flawless legs are a requirement. So I decided to ditch my fears and take the Nair Cire Divine’s Bye Bye Ouch! formula challenge.

Here’s how it went (and keep reading to find out how you can win big below!):

I followed the instructions on the Nair Cire Divine Microwave Resin Wax with Moroccan Argan Oil box  ($18.99 at well.ca) that said to heat the tub of wax for about two minutes. I was happy to learn that the wax is suitable for all skin types and works effectively to grip even the shortest hair close to the skin, ensuring full removal of the follicle from the root. Meaning you don’t have to grow your hair embarrassingly long in-between waxes.

I dipped the spatula in the hot wax until I had a good amount to apply to my leg. Because this is my first time I applied it to just a small area. I wasn’t quite ready to pull off all my hair at once. The wax felt warm, but not too hot, which was a relief! I waited for it to dry until it wasn’t too sticky to the touch.

Here came the hard part. Getting the nerve to now rip it off. Luckily, the wax formula is made with a pro-sensitive complex containing 2% zinc oxide to help reduce the adherence to your skin. So I felt a little more comfortable than I would with any old wax.

I did it! Boy, was I impressed. The pain was so minimal, just a tiny prickle of the hair, but nothing that would have you running and screaming. This is because this new formula is supposed to desensitize your skin so you don’t feel the sensations associated with waxing.

As you can see it really got all my hair too! The worst is having to shave leftover strands of hair that the wax missed. Luckily, Nair did the job and I didn’t have to do that. Also, I was pleased that my skin wasn’t left feeling dry like it does with shaving, which is the Moroccan Argan Oil at work!

  2. I would love to win so I don’t have to shave every other day so I can wear shorts or capris and keep cool in the summer

  3. I’m a huge fan of skirts. I love skirts!! I try to wear them as often as possible which is about 5x a week…

  4. I will be rocking my sexy legs this summer on my bicycle thru urban trails – healthy & smooth! Thanks for the opportunity to try Nair’s Cire Divine “Bye Bye Ouch!” formula.

  5. I’ll be at the beach most of the summer, and sliding down the water slide some of the time!

  6. If won, and I don’t have worry about ugly, hairy legs… the maxi dress will be gone and minis are in !!!!

  7. My summer go to is capris and sandals. Shaving is a must but such a pain. Time to give waxing a try.

  8. Personally I hate being in the sun, so my legs won’t be needing the wax. I would like to try it on my husband, he’s starting to get hairy and he doesn’t like it and like most guys can’t stand much pain.

  9. Rockin’ them as Mother-of-the-groom … my “baby” is getting married !! woo hoo

  10. For me it’ll be shorts all day long and capris when it’s windy or a bit chilly. It would be marvellous to win and try this out – sounds to me like it’s just what a girl needs. I’ve never waxed but this could be my reason to alter that 🙂

  11. I put on tanning lotion when I apply my morning body butter on my legs – awesome!!!!

  12. I have always had to shave my legs every couple of days because it does not take long for my hair to grow back in. A product that would allow me not have to do this would be great, as I wear a lot of skirts to work during the summer time and shorts when I am not at work.

  13. Im going to rock my smooth legs at our Fishing Derby. Even if I don’t get the biggest fish, at least ill have the smoothest legs. I might even try to convince the organizers that it deserves a trophy!

  14. I’ll be decked out in a sundress and some cool sandals. Thanks for the contest and a great product!

  15. Now that warm weather has ” finally ” hit , I won’t be wearing pants till the fall my beauty legs will bare all summer long with sandals to go along with my shorts and sundress’s

  17. i JUST LOST 35 POUNDS, MY LEGS HAVE SHAPE NOW, I HAVE NICER CLOTHES AND I WILL BE WALKING ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE SHOWING THEM OFF.

  18. The closest I get to pants during the summer is capris and that’s only on a cool night. I love my legs bare and shaving is a nuisance.

  19. I will be showing off my legs by wearing my high waisted jean shorts complete with a self-tan!

  20. I just want to be bathing suit ready! The pools up and running and getting warmer every day! I live for summer!
