Moom Organic Hair Removal Review :) Get smoov! :P


Kay, this might be a little long winded :)
Sorry for the crappy pics, I'm using my phone till my new camera charger arrives.

First off, I'm no skin care professional, nor was I paid or otherwise bribed (lol) I won this from a giveaway thanks to fabbylus blogger Ashley Elizabeth, whose site you can find here:  http://blog.alelizabeth.com/
Anyways, here's my plain jane review of Moom's Organic Hair Removal set :) 
I've never used any type of sugaring product before. (Note- Sugaring is the same style process as waxing, but does not use wax as wax is generally less efficient and more detrimental to the skin) However, I used to epilate my legs. If anyone's had experience with that before, you know that it's a painful process, but it's worth it. I haven't depilated my legs for abut 5 years, but hair growth is still patchy and no where near as thick as untreated legs. I depilated for 2 years, and after the first 6 months of keeping up with it my legs were pretty much hairless.
Wait, so am I saying run out and get an epilator? Nope. Epilating is extremely time consuming. For those of you who don't know, it's basically whirring little tweezer pinchers, and you have to go over and over and over the same spot. It's painful, but after the first time you do it, the second time it magically doesn't hurt anymore. It's weird and doesn't make sense, but awesome. However, you're still stuck with the time consuming-ness. My point here is that I know from personal experience that removing the hair from the root is the most efficient way of having smooth legs, and the hair gets thinner & finer & eventually stops growing back.
Sugaring seems really scary at first but you just have to (wo)man up & do it. If you pull the strip hesitantly or slowly you're only making your life harder. It's going to be uncomfortable & the hair removal isn't going to be as efficient. It takes a quarter second to pull the strip & 98% of your hair will come out with it. What I really like about Moom is that not only are the fabric strips reusable but they're extremely durable as well. Also, their hair remover has virtually no scent at all, as opposed to the burning horrid Nair smell or chemical/overly perfumed smell of waxes.
I have trouble with dry skin, and this did not bother my legs at all. On top of that, it also helps exfoliate your legs by pulling off dead skin with the hair, and I could actually see the difference :) 
ImageI started off with 2 smaller strips, and left a strip of untreated hair running down the middle- you can see the difference in the skin, and how much hair one pull removed!
Obviously, you're not going to want to put a bunch of questionable chemicals on your face, which is why their sugaring system is exceptional for your face! I attacked my upper lip (a fuzzstache is still a moustache, I'm just lucky it's blonde lolz!) & my brows.
I don't care who you are, admit it- you have a couple of stray hairs between your brows you don't want there & you tweeze them whenever they pop up. This stuff is gentle enough to use on the face, and since it's organic & free of harmful chemicals it's safe to have close to your eyes.

I would definitely use this product again- I loved the legs I had when I was using an epilator (it died and I never replaced it), but I hated how time consuming & dirty & uncomfortable it was (you had to constantly clean hair out of it)
The set also comes with a nice wrinkle rewind cream that comes in a high quality sturdy jar. I have awful bags under my eyes and am starting to get wrinkles because I pretty much sleep on my face. Yep, face plant. I started trying their under eye product on Monday & took pics & will have a follow up post in 2 weeks. I've tried a ton of creams, but not really consistently- I'm making sure I stick with this so I can give a true review!
On a side note, I was using Mirra's under eye cream for awhile- and it's crap. It's garbage. It pisses me off. I chunked it in the trash and lamented the waste of $10.00 I spent on it. During application it dissolves and gets all oily and gross, and after a week of use it started to give me tiny pimples & bumps right on my cheek bones & on the thin under eye skin and that's one of the WORST places. I pride myself in being allergic to basically nothing ever, so I highly doubt I was just having a personal reaction. I hate you, Mirra cream. You suck. 

Have you tried or heard of Moom yet? How do you have a smooth night on the town leg?
