Tweezers

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.

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?

Much like it's said that the eyes are the windows to one's soul, eyebrows are the frames to one's face. And when it comes to grooming these face-framers, you might know how to pick the right shade based on your hair color, but now what's next? Check out a few indispensable tips on brow tweezing and grooming when you read more.

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.

Last week, I met up with eyebrow guru Anastasia Soare, and ever since then, I've been paying extra special attention to the brow area — or lack thereof. More tips from Anastasia to come, but in the meantime, after passing by this Revlon Brow Specialist Kit ($9) at Walgreens over the weekend, I couldn't resist. My makeup area at home is getting a little cluttered these days, so anything that is compact, compartmentalized, and brow-related captures my attention. To see what I thought of this mini-kit, just read more.

Sometimes readers don't agree with what I think, and that's why our Reader Reviews section is so invaluable. Take Sabisf, for instance. While I loved Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezers ($28), she wasn't as pleased. Here's what she had to say:

When I first got these they worked great, but quickly lost their sharpness. After a few months they did not work at all. At the price they should last a lot longer. I went back to Tweezerman and I'm very happy. Anastasia has some other nice products, though.

Click through and find a pair that makes you happy.

I'm all for getting back to the basics — particularly when it saves a buck or 20. That's why reader Jenzene likes Revlon's Splinter Tweezer ($3) so much, declaring, "Forget Tweezerman!" Here's what else she has to say:

Why drop $12 on a tweezer when you can get this for $3 to $4? I have had this little baby for six years and it has never let me down! It grips every hair firmly, and the point is rounded, not sharp.
