Advantages: Easy to use, , Nice conditioning cream included in the Kit

Disadvantages: Still a little smelly(not as bad as it used to be), You could end up having a little mishap

I am blushing as I write this, but if poor Kate on Big Brother can share her embarrassment in front of millions on television, then so can I. You may have seen her lose her 'David Beckham' when she had a little accident with her hair removing cream, I had every sympathy with the poor girl, the same thing happened to me when I used the Immac Bikini Kit.
More of that later, no scrolling ;-) lets talk about the product first.

Immac are well known for producing hair removal creams and waxes. I used to buy the cream for removal of my bikini line, which was sold in a tube on its own or in a long box with conditioning skin cream included, but they have revamped this and is now called a Bikini Kit, a box containing all you need to remove that unsightly unwanted hair from, lets face it, one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
The new kit, is now housed in a white and blue box and contains, 1 - 50ml plastic tube of Hair Removal cream, 1 -50ml plastic tube of Finishing Cream and a 'perfect touch' spatula.

~ Hair Removing Cream~
It's the Thioglycolic salts (Acid) that weakens the hair just below skin level, sounds scary, but is kind and gentle, Immac has been around for years so they know what they are doing, its specially formulated for your delicate lady areas. Easy to apply, straight onto the area you want to remove the hair from, and smooth over with the spatula, wait 5 minutes, test an area with the spatula, and you should be ready to rinse off with warm water, if not, it's ok to leave the cream on a little longer, but 10 minutes is the maximum they recommend. Please watch the time, keep your eyes on that clock, it could cause your skin to become irritated, I didn't but its best not to risk it, otherwise you could end up a result like poor kate or myself.

~The Spatula~

A curved piece of plastic, shaped to get into all the contours of the area in question, nooks and crannies to you and me. r>As I said, this is a very handy tool for applying the cream, and testing if your ready for rinse off. I found it helpful to use to remove most of the 'dissolved hair,' it breaks off the hair as you glide it across, despite that description it doesn't hurt one bit, the hair is already dead. The rest should just rinse off easily in the shower/bath, I found it easier with the help of a soft sponge or flannel.

~Conditioning Cream~
This comes in the same size plastic tube as the hair removing cream. It apparently contains ceramides, these condition your skin and help prevent any irritation. It smells quite nice and does work, it left my skin as soft as a babies botty.

I found that it was a good three days before there was any sign of re-growth and the hair doesn't grow back as course as it does with shaving because it has been dissolved.

Depilatory (hair removal) creams can be very smelly, but Immac now seem to have helped solve this problem by adding microcapsuals of fragrance, I found there was still a trace of the yukky odour, but a great improvement.

If you have any concerns over using this product, questions or information you will find everything you need to know about the Bikini Kit and the whole range of hair removal products then pay www.veet.co.uk a visit. I tried www.immac.com and this site was under construction, I then tried the veet address and was taken to Immac.(www,veet.com is for german readers)
Immac is about to change it's name to Veet, why do these companies do this? it annoys me, stick to what we know!

O. k, now for the embarrassing bit, <Blush> I feel I must tell you as a warning more than anything.

Take the phone off the hook if your alone when using this, make sure you have 10/15 minutes set aside to do this without any interruptions. I tested a small area with the spatula, I didn't think it had worked sufficiently enough, so I spread some more on, at this
point the phone rang, it was a dear friend I hadn't spoken to for ages, she was a little upset and needed a shoulder, being a softy and not wanting to put her off for ten minutes, I SAT DOWN, and listened to her, poor thing, she had quite a tale to get off her chest, so I stayed on the line for a good 20 minutes, then she heard my door bell go in the background and suggested I go answer it and she would call back later. Phew! I stood with my head poking out the door for another five minutes in the bid to convince the guy I do not want my milk delivered, and then rushed off to the bathroom. Oh dear, or dear, it had spread everywhere, I dived in the shower and to my horror the whole lot washed off! Not even a David Beckham, Nope, I resembled a Sphinx cat! I heard on the Graham Norton show that this is a very trendy way to have it, the latest infact, so maybe it wasn't so bad after all, but unless you want the same girls, please take note, follow the instructions on the box to the letter.

Apart from my little mishap I found this worked very well for me, I didn't experience any irritation on that occasion, but I think I was lucky, and would suggest maybe using a little cotton wool or tissue paper to protect any really delicate genitalia area where the cream is not meant for. I have used this Bikini Kit about 5 times now, so its quite cost effective, cheaper and not extremely painful like I found with waxing.

On offer in boots at the moment for £4.79, was £6.29, so save yourself £1.50.
