I have yet to purchase a Wax Warmer (getting it soon through UPS, thanks Parissa!), so I can't work with my Hot Wax as smoothly as I would like. I have no choice, but to heat the wax on the stove, inside of a small pot. Some days the consistency is watery, others it's thick like molasses-as the directions imply.

Anywho, I decided to wax my upper lip since the hair is a tad dark. The wax wasn't at its prime texture so the thickness was lacking (Usually, I wait a few minutes for the wax to cool and get thicker, it's either just right or too thick). After many attempts of layering and layering the wax, I decided to zip it off...Well...let me tell you the upper lip is a very very VERY sensitive area. A small tug to grasp the endpoint and tears were flowing out of my right eye. And, I'm not one to cry-not one tear was wasted during "The Notebook" movie, and I have a high tolerance for pain.

Is there a correlation between the consistency of the wax and the pain/swiftness, or could it be my raging hormones from my period, or a combination of both? Something tells me once I get the Wax Warmer it will be an easier transition.
