I've only heard wonderful things about sugar waxing. It is meant to be a lot better for your skin than regular waxing (because it is water soluble and doesn't need to be removed with oil like regular wax does). I guess there are a lot less chemicals in sugar wax than in regular wax too (typically).

hrm. there is my problem right there. i'm a pull it slowly kinda girl. so.... epilation it is, i guess.

(you know... the machine is a little louder than i remember it being. i do wonder what the neighbours think / how much it annoys them. i should turn the machine on and see if i can hear it outside my room with my door closed... i had a guy friend who wanted to try it on his face... i wouldn't reccomend it incase he gets a rash... but maybe he will let me epilate his chest or something lol.
