Beauty ponders

you have a choice... You could continue searching for it and eventually give up, but then what? Leave it be or repurchase what was lost? Myself, I opted for the second part...

On Wednesday evening I couldn't find my Tweezerman anywhere, I looked and looked and looked, turned everthing upside down but nothing. I had used it the day before so basically it couldn't have gone far. The bf didn't know anything about it either...



And the next day it hit me, I cannot go without this product. My brows practically need daily tweezing or I could go for the werewolf look - but that's not my cup of tea. So I gave in and at lunch I went to repurchase my Tweezer, I now chose for the electric blue colour. Meanwhile the other one hasn't turned up and if it does, at least I have a back-up...

But this got me wondering: which product would you immediately repurchase if you noticed you lost it or it is empty? I'm curious!

Everyone has something about their brows: they are either too thick or too tiny, too wild or too invisible... We all have our discomforts. Myself I suffer from quite thick wild brows that absolutely need something to tame them. I used to use a brow gel from Essence but decided I wanted something better as I wasn't too pleased with it, it didn't stay put all day and clogged from time to time. So after some googling I ran into this Mousse from Tweezerman... I love my Slant Tweezer from this brand so I wanted to give this a try and at the same time had high hopes for it. Let's see if they were justified!

Ideal for getting a beautifully shaped brow line to stay put all day… or for taming “disobedient” unruly brows. The superior clear-gel formula smoothly styles and shapes without the flakes or gumminess of lesser quality brands. A favorite of top models and make-up artists for its precision, evenness and long-lasting wear.

Tips & Tricks: using the mascara-like wand, brush upward through brows to lift and shape. Formulated of the highest quality hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free ingredients, the feather-light application gently conditions as it shapes for a beautiful lasting look.

We are descendants of very hairy people, back in those prehistoric days people had hair all over, with purpose of warmth and dirtpreventing and such... As the climate began to change, so did our hair and it minimized but still occured on several necessary places as it does today... But, us girls, we do not like all this hair - legs, armpits, lip, etc- we like to have it gone. I also live in this 'gone' department. And then we come to my eyebrows, who obviously are prehistoric in some way. If I don't do anything about them I look bewildered, they become very thick...

When I was in highschool I used to use my mothers tweezers (just a random no brand thing) but it was quite difficult to use and I occasionaly had a little wound from trying to tweeze too hard - not grabbing the hair but my skin. Later on I bought somewhat the same tweezer for myself and went on with the hard tweezing until 2 years ago... I had been reading a lot on blogs and decided I wanted to invest in a Tweezerman Slant Tweezer, normal version, but at that time they weren't available in my country so I had to buy them online. I quickly found them and chose a colour, sky. A week later, the Tweezer was mine and I was so impressed with it, tweezing became so much easier. It grabs almost every hair, doesn't leave wounds and works so precise - just love it!


It isn't cheap, its only downside, I paid 20$ and ordered from Strawberrynet, buying them in a store in Europe is more expensive though (Belgium - IciParis, around 20euros). They also offer a wide range of similar products, depending on your brows needs. On a side note, they also offer a special service: free sharpening. If you feel your tweezers ends are in for a treat you can fill in a form, post it along with your tweezer and they sharpen it for free and sent it back to you. Something really special, I'm certainly going to try it, but for now my Tweezer still looks like new!

I've had mine for 2 years now and it's still in good condition, it's worth investing in it. The price may frighten you, I felt the same way, but I'm glad a took the risk. I cannot live without mine anymore...
