New Trellis Slant Tweezer from Tweezerman

April 15, 2012 By

Tweezerman‘s new Trellis Slant Tweezer features a trellis pattern that is one of the “hot” patterns in popular culture right now, so it brings beautiful styling to the global award-winning stainless steel Slant Tweezer.  I have to confess that I have been buying cheap drugstore tweezers for years, but I’ve also known that Tweezerman tweezers are sharper and more precise. I just didn’t think spending the extra money made that much of a difference. Now that I’ve tried the Tweezerman Slant Tweezer, I know that it really DOES make a difference!

The problem with cheap drugstore tweezers is that they have a dull tip that at least on my skin, tends to pull the skin along with the hair. I have little marks under my eyebrows where skin came off with the hair.  Tweezerman sent me the Slant Tweezer and the first time I used it, I was amazed at how it gripped just the hair and pulled it out cleanly without any skin pulling.

The reason why it works so well is because the Slant Tweezer features a hand-filed ti[p that’s perfectly aligned to precisely grab every hair.  The Slant Tweezer is the choice of make-up artists, models, celebrities, and the most discerning beauty enthusiasts. And now, ME!

Available in sky blue, neon pink and bright green, look for the Trellis Slant Tweezer at Sephora stores and Sephora.com.  Trust me when I say that the $25.00 price is totally worth it if you need to tweeze and don’t want to pull your skin out too!

Tattooed by Inky Body Sprays – Perfect Easter Basket Gift for Tweens and Teens!

April 2, 2012 By

Tattooed by Inky is a new line of five high quality body sprays just launched at Target stores for the great price of $5.99 each. Each fragrance is inspired by the popularity and designs of tattoos, in a modern collection that celebrates individuality and personal style.  My boys are 13 and 15 and I can attest to the fact that teens are very individual when it comes to body sprays.  Both boys have been using body sprays since they were around 12, and each likes a very different scent.  It’s easy to find cute gifts to put in Easter baskets for younger kids, but for older ones, Tattooed By Inky body sprays make a great gift!

These five distinctive scents are perfect to use after showering or for a pick-me-up during the day. There are two women’s scents that are subtle yet evocative, two men’s scents that are brisk and masculine without being overpowering, and one unisex scent that appeals to both genders.

  • MONKEY BUSINESS (male) – for the smart, funny, no-nonsense guy with a lovable bad boy streak. A bold blend of leather, lavender, pepper and sandalwood.
  • DRAKO (male) – for the strong, enigmatic and fiery guy with an elemental blend of spices, musk and precious woods.
  • A MI AMOR (female) – vividly captures all your loving feelings of passion and romance,  with a complex blend of white florals, vanilla and amber.
  • SUDDEN FREEDOM (female) – for the confident, vibrant and independent woman with a fresh and feminine bouquet of aquatic florals, pink jasmine and warm rosewood.
  • KOI (unisex) – for the easy going, colorful personality and affectionate nature who also has strength and courage of convictions. An intricate blend of radiant citrus, ginger and the warmth of patchouli.

I was offered a body spray to review, so I chose A Mi Amor, shown in the image at top left.  I’m really glad I did, because it smells amazing on me! I love how the florals and the amber combine with the vanilla, so it’s not too “vanilla-ey”. You won’t smell like a sugar cookie like some vanilla fragrances. I keep smelling my wrist because it smells so good!

More things I like about these body sprays – the price, which at $5.99 is very reasonable. As fast as my boys go through their body sprays, this is a product I can afford! I also like the packaging, with graphics based on tattoos. Next time we’re at Target I’m going to have my sons sample the men’s sprays and see if they like one, or both!

Macquillage, otherwise known as cosmetic make up is definitely one of the elements that can differentiate a lady from a young girl. Whilst make up preferences differ from individual to individual, the basics still apply so you cannot run away from the general rules for the application of cosmetic products. It is safe to say that almost every girl trying to embark on a journey of self discovery for make up techniques should at least be in possession of makeup brush sets.

Getting a suitable set of makeup brushes can prove to be something of a challenge especially for beginnners and young girls. Whilst it may take some trial and error before you form your personal makeup routine, makeup gift sets
are the best way to get someone started. These kits usually have the basic startup products like foundation, mascara, eyeshadow and blushers. Besides that, most of these sets come equipped with the most basic brushes, and you’ll be able to build up from there.

A lot of people make the mistake of assuming that just any brush will do, but the truth is that a good makeup brush will help you apply your makeup more evenly, and make application much more easier as well. Get brushes that have been tested by professionals as these should be soft and perform their intended functions well. One should also not neglect the proper care of brushes so that they stay precise and perfect. Snip away any fray ends to maintain its shape, and also wash these in regular face wash or makeup remover to keep them pristine. These steps are important in order to keep your brushes clean and bacteria free so that you don’t get rashes or infections on your face .
