Cynthia Rowley Grabs Attention With New Beauty Tools

When everyday beauty products get designer makeovers, it's worth taking a second look, as is the case with the Cynthia Rowley for Tweezerman line.

When everyday beauty products get designer makeovers, it's worth taking a second look, as is the case with the Cynthia Rowley for Tweezerman line. The limited-edition collection features sporty, colorfully graphic prints created by Rowley: a minislant tweezer ($15), slanted tweezers in light blue or cobalt blue ($25 each), and a nail file in signature red ($5).

This isn't the first time we've seen Tweezerman products get a high-end makeover. In 2010, Betsey Johnson linked up with Tweezerman, and last year, it was Gwen Stefani's turn with her Harajuku Lovers collaboration. And even Rowley herself has added her magic design touch to some common beauty items, including the chicest Band-Aids you've probably ever seen, along with a colorful Amika flat iron. Grab Rowley's Tweezerman lineup in Sephora on July 19.

Everyday Products Get Chic Makeovers

Sure there are hair, makeup, and nail trends, but one specific beauty trend that's been emerging as of late is designer packaging.

Sure there are hair, makeup, and nail trends, but one specific beauty trend that's been emerging as of late is designer packaging. From collaborations with designers to crystal-embellished products, see how some of the most common tools have been dressed up to impress.

  • Why brush your teeth with that boring old brush your dentist gave you? Reach by Design has just come out with its latest line of patterned toothbrushes, which were designed by Shoshanna Gruss and Flipping Out's Jeff Lewis.
  • From Harajuku Lovers to Betsey Johnson, Tweezerman is always pairing up with the best in quirky. But this time around, it's all about the bling. Available now are the brand's Swarovski Crystal Tweezers and Stand ($200) or the Crystal Slant Tweezers ($100), available in various hues.
  • Tarina Tarantino is known for her cute jewelry and fun, colorful makeup, and now she's taken her vibrant design sense into the hairstyling tools realm. This Paul Mitchell by Tarina Tarantino Express Ion Smooth flat iron will make your morning styling routine all the more merry, and it's available exclusively at salons that sell Paul Mitchell products.
  • Cover up nicks and cuts stylishly with Dress-Up Band-Aids by Cynthia Rowley ($5). The bandages are so fashionable, you'll find yourself wanting to wear them just because.

Harajuku Lovers Is Getting Its Own Tweezers Now

If you're a fan of Harajuku Lovers and its adorable little dolls, here's another addition for your collection.

If you're a fan of Harajuku Lovers and its adorable little dolls, here's another addition for your collection. Next month, Tweezerman will release a whole line of Harajuku products, including tiny files ($4), a compact mirror ($10), minislanted tweezers ($15), and full-sized slant tweezers ($25). Tweezerman is known for releasing designer grooming tools (it also recently did a Betsey Johnson collection, and its various patterned and themed nail care collections are legion), so it's not surprising that Gwen Stefani's much-loved brand is getting some of its own. Will you be buying these guys when they hit the shelves at (exclusively) Sephora?

Betsey Johnson Plucks a Deal With Tweezerman

Tweezing isn't exactly on every woman's list of fun things to do.

Tweezing isn't exactly on every woman's list of fun things to do. But now, thanks to the always-colorful Betsey Johnson, hair removal just got a little more exciting. The kooky designer has collaborated with Tweezerman on a trio of Betsey Johnson Designer Series slanted tweezers ($25 each). The lineup includes a black with the Betsey "babe" face, a neon pink with white Betsey skulls, and a white with pink Betsey rosebuds. Look for the vibrant implements at Sephora and Betsey Johnson boutiques starting Sept. 1. Will you tweeze Betsey-style?

Cute Paws For a Good Cause

If you're in the market for some new tweezers or nail files, now you can get both in an adorable motif and support the Humane Society.

If you're in the market for some new tweezers or nail files, now you can get both in an adorable motif and support the Humane Society. Tweezerman is selling Paw Print Mini Slant Tweezers ($15) and Matchbox Itty Bitty Paw Print Files ($4). A portion of the sales will go to help the Humane Society care for pets in need of homes. So while Fido and Fluffy might not like visiting the pet groomer, you can help them out while grooming yourself.

Tools of the Trade: Portable Eyelash Combs

This is definitely not the age of Tammy Faye Bakker — and although long, lush, and voluminous lashes are sought after, so is a clean, defined, no-makeup makeup look.

This is definitely not the age of Tammy Faye Bakker — and although long, lush, and voluminous lashes are sought after, so is a clean, defined, no-makeup makeup look. These contrasting worlds have no room for clumpy, lumpy lashes. With these relatively inexpensive and super-small lash combs, you won't have to worry about your lashes being a beauty faux pas.

Tweezerman Folding Eye Lash Comb ($6.99) is a thin and tapered gold-plated comb that has been designed to painlessly glide through your mascara-coated lashes and remove anything that is stuck together or clumpy. Use it when your lashes are still a little wet in gentle, upward motions (away from your eyes).

Eco Tools Bamboo Lash and Brow Groomer (on sale for $2.99) is a long and slender environmentally-friendly eyelash comb and eyebrow brush. It is made from synthetic bristles and the ferule is made from recycled aluminum. Check out the cost, too. At $2.99 a pop, you can keep one stashed in all of your primping locations.

2007 Sugar Awards: Best Beauty Tool

You've voted, and once again, the results were very close.


You've voted, and once again, the results were very close. Squeezing past Shu Uemura eyelash curlers by a margin of less than 10 votes, Tweezerman tweezers garnered first place. I confess that years ago, I didn't understand the hype, but after you use a good pair of tweezers, you'll never want to go back to the two-dollar version again.

Speaking of pricier products that really perform better, my can't-live-without tool this year is my T3 dryer. Again, you always read the hype about T3 tools, and in this case, the praise is earned. The dryer cuts my drying time in half, leaves my hair bouncy and shiny, and never overheats. It's not cheap by any means, but if you go for frequent blow-dries, it's definitely something to save up for.

Think Pink: Tweezerman Petite Tweeze Set

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, every weekday I'll bring you a beauty item that benefits the cause.

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, every weekday I'll bring you a beauty item that benefits the cause. I'll also fill you in on how much money from each sale goes to support breast cancer research and prevention, so you'll be able to choose accordingly. And of course, if you have any suggestions for products, let me know!

Let's start the month off with Tweezerman Petite Tweeze Set ($25). The three-piece set includes a pink-ribbon leather case and mini slanted and pointed tweezers. Tweezerman really does make a fantastically precise tweezer (and offers free sharpening!), and if you need an extra set for travel, this is a good one. One dollar from every set sold will benefit breast cancer care and prevention.

Tools of the Trade: Excellent Eyelash Curlers

Now that you know how to use an eyelash curler, I thought I'd give you a couple of cool tools of the trade to choose from.

Now that you know how to use an eyelash curler, I thought I'd give you a couple of cool tools of the trade to choose from. These eyelash curlers are safe, small and easy to use (really, they are)! I can't wait to hear what you think.

It's hard to imagine that there's a new eyelash curler out on the market from Shu Uemura since the old one has been at the top of the charts for several years now. It is actually so popular that at one time they made a limited-edition 24 carat gold version of it.

Even so, now you can buy the new Shu Curler ($18) which claims to have upgraded features and enhanced precision. Some of the improvements include a mushroom-shaped pad for improved safety, comfort and optimum curl; a new hinge that applies just the right amount of pressure on your eyelashes; and an ergonomic handle for better control.
