Harajuku Lovers Is Getting Its Own Tweezers Now

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 09:14:38 PDT

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?

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?

So while Fido and Fluffy might not like visiting the pet groomer, you can help them out while grooming yourself.

Doing Drugstore: Revlon Brow Specialist Kit

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:00:54 PDT

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.

Reader Review of the Day: Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezers

BellaSugar — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:00:06 PDT

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.

Reader Review of the Day: Revlon Splinter Tweezer

BellaSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:00:00 PDT

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.

Do you have a basic beauty tool you can't live without? Whether it's a trusty tweezer, a loyal lash curler, or no-fail bobby pins, tell us all about it. Just head to our Product Reviews website and give us your feedback. You might just be the next featured reviewer on this daily post.

In Which Bella Was Corrected on Plucking and Dying

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:00:39 PST

A few years ago, as I chatted with my friend about which color I should dye my hair, I was given an unexpected lesson in beauty terminology. She was in cosmetology school at the time, and I knew she'd have some good ideas. Instead of guiding me towards something like, "chocolate brown with copper highlights," she said something more along the lines of, "You dye an Easter egg, not your hair. You color your hair." Well, excuse me.

It was something she had learned in school, she told me - the professional beauty lingo, you know. Oh, she also mentioned that when it comes to plucking, that's only for chickens, not eyebrows. Instead, it's tweezing, and tweezing alone. Righty-o then.
