Beauty Review: Tweezerman Mix ‘N Match Runway Prints Unbreakable Mirrors & Mix ‘N Match Runway Prints SoleMates

Tweezerman SoleMates

Summer is already upon us, and those winter feet have got to GO! I don’t know about you but in the summer my feet get really dry, itchy, and very flaky. I hate it. I’m glad that it’s the month we wear long socks and fur boots! Hide that hideousness!

But now that summer is here, flip flops, sandals, and open back heels and wedges are upon us! There isn’t a woman on earth who wants to be caught with dry, flaky feet! My dry skin is bad between and around my toes, my heel, and the outer edges of my feet.

What can you do about it though? Are there products that are easy to use, and don’t take much time to accomplish the soft, beautiful feet we all wish we had during the spring and summer months?

Of course- Tweezerman has done it ONCE again! They have came out with a very easy to use, colorful & pretty, foot file. It’s so small, modern, and has brilliant packaging (it looks like an eyeglass case).

The one I got is hot pink/white modern square design on one side and on the other side is white with hot pink letters. The case has magnets in it, so all you have to do is put the two sides together and they automatically attach.

There are two sides to the foot file when you open it up. The grater side and the bumpy  buffer side. I love how they fit so closely together, have color inside the case, and is easy to use. I love how modern it looks.

The best time to use this is right after taking a hot bath. The skin on your feet is much softer. The hardened skin has soaked up the hot water and it’s easier to maintain and scrape the dead, roughed skin off.

If you want to maintain soft skin throughout the day, you can always apply a really moisturizing lotion and then use this. Give the lotion about a minute to really soak into the skin before buffing and grating.

This is the buffer side. I always use this first to scrape up the dead skin and buffer it off. It works like a dream. As you can see in the picture it has little metal pieces that smooth the skin that has dried up, died, and gotten rough.

This is the grater side (as I call it). It looks just like a cheese grater and works much like one. You scrape this over your feet, and dig it in as hard as you can on your softened skin (Hot water+ lotion).

I’ve used many MANY different grater type foot scrubbers that claim to scrape the dead skin off to reveal soft, touchable feet. Did they work? Not really. The graters on them weren’t that pronounced, it didn’t really scrape that much skin off, AND there wasn’t an easy way to pop them open afterward to dump the dead skin and clean it out.

That’s the reason I love Tweezerman and all their products though. This is the best foot file/buffer/dead skin remover EVER! You see where my finger is in the first (top) picture? If you flick that piece up, it pops the grater out and reveals what’s inside.

The second picture (bottom) shows the dead skin mixed with lotion that came off my feet. This was scrubbing for only about 30 seconds, I didn’t want to show ALL my dead skin (gross!). It’s easy to clean and easy to pop back into place! A+

Not only that, but that SAME piece gives me the leverage I need to really scrub that dead skin away. Usually on other foot scrubbers they are rounded or shaped like a paddle and have absolutely no where to put your thumb so you can get DEEP into the skin.

I love this! I love everything about it. I love that I don’t have to keep lotion on my feet 24/7 because when they get dry the dead skin is more pronounced. I can now wear those sexy heels, wedges, and sport flip-flops without embarrassment.

Every fashionista knows the pain of stilettos, but wears them happily for height and style. Now withTweezerman’s new Mix ‘N Match Runway Prints SoleMates, you can finally reconcile fashion with foot function.

Two expert tools fit together perfectly for clean, compact storage in a beautiful Pink pattern:

the stainless steel Micro-File effortlessly removes dead skin and reduces calluses while the Finishing File buffs skin to touchably, soft smoothness.

The Unbreakable Mirror

How many mirrors do you have laying around your home, office, and car? Can you count? Do you have any inside your purse? I had a very small one that was attached to a lipstick tube, and a small mirror that was part of a compact of foundation.

I didn’t really trust putting regular mirrors inside my makeup bag inside my purse, no matter how much they claim to be unbreakable. They weren’t- I could tell. The ones that WERE unbreakable were very very foggy to the point where you couldn’t see anything in the first place—so there wasn’t even a reason to be carrying them.

That’s all changed now. Tweezerman has brought out the new and amazing UNBREAKABLE MIRROR. This isn’t like the other so called unbreakable mirrors. This doesn’t have that weird cardboard covered with aluminum foil look, and it isn’t glass.

Even though you can see the glare from my camera- when you get the mirror, it comes with it’s own plastic pouch case. When you take it out of the case, you’ll see that the mirror is covered in blue protective tape.

And then you pull the blue tape back and all you see is a VERY capable, unbreakable mirror. You can see all the details of my phone, fingers, and see it clearly!

See me clearly? I can! I LOVE IT!  It’s the best mirror for packing inside a makeup bag, in a suitcase for travel, or even in a wallet!

Tweezerman Review

Pop of Op Mini Slant Tweezer- The stainless steel Mini Slant Tweezer features a hand-filed tip perfectly aligned to grab every hair every time with the smoothest precision. The ideal on-the-go tool for any makeup bag, purse and travel, this is the perfect miniature version of the award-winning Slant Tweezer a.k.a. the choice of make-up artists, models, celebrities and the most discerning beauty enthusiasts who demand the very best.

Tweezerman carries the cutest tweezer designs I have ever seen in my life. I’m not kidding when I say that I have never actually even seen any ones with designs. The only ones I’ve seen are the plain silver ones.

AND I’m not going to lie when I say I am a wuss. YES! I admit it. I hated tweezing my eyebrows because it ALWAYS made my eyes water and it did more damage to me then actually helped. WHY? because eventually I’d give up and NOT even do it.. lol.. You can make fun of me all that you want.. It really did hurt.

I even switched to the eyebrow shaper shaver thing. (which if I must say, made eyebrow hairs WORSE) They grew in thicker and faster, which sucked! I would notice a day or so later that they were all back. What’s the use in even using something like that if it makes taming eyebrows worse?

But when these tweezers presented themselves into my life, who was I NOT to give them a try? I was absolutely glad I did. They are very easy to hold, pull gently but get the job done, and help create a better shape than the regular stainless ones.

With these tweezers though, it’s an entirely different story. It’s like- it pulls but not STINGY pulls. It seems to do it in the direction of the hair, so it doesn’t hurt as bad. I’ve learned a few tricks and tips over the years.

The slanted tip of these amazing tweezers make it so much easier to grab ahold of those pesky little hairs and get them out of the way. Having unruly eyebrows IS NOT attractive in any shape or form. These are super-accurate and exact in the way they grab and don’t let go. I hated to spend so much (with other brands) that were letting hairs slip and break, which would eventually end up in redness, bumps, and blotches.

Since using Tweezerman, I have acknowledged less irritation and ingrown hairs that result in red bumps. It takes HALF the time it did when I was using the other brands because I don’t dread it. Half the time I spent whining about how much it hurt.. Now it’s a breeze; no whining, crying, or putting it off and ending up a caveman wannabe. (HA).

It’s a lot less stressful, I’ll admit. I wanted perfect eyebrows, but could NEVER get them because of the whiny baby stuff AND the growing back super fast when using the shave shaper. Now I don’t have to worry about it.

They are super fashionable, and are small enough to fit in any cosmetic bag or purse. As long as you have some kind of mirror with you, you could tweeze in the bathroom at work before a meeting or sitting in your care before a date with your babe. There is nothing less sexy than a uni-brow.

But to make tweezing go BETTER for you and to not hurt so bad, I give you some tips.

Tweezing Tips:

Take a hot shower (and put your face directly in the line of water for about 5 minutes.) Don’t drown yourself though.. lol. The hot water softens your eyebrow hairs and opens your pores. This makes tweezing a breeze.

FYI: If you are running behind on time and there is no way possible for you to take a shower, there is another option. Wet a washcloth in hot water (for about 2 min) and lay directly across your eyebrows. Leave it this way for a couple of minutes and the hot water does the same trick. Softens the hurt because it softens the hairs and opens the pores.

While tweezing- pull the hair in the right direction. Right eyebrow pull it right and left pull left. Pull UP and left or right. I f you pull down on the hairs, it will break your hair.

AFTER: Soothe your skin so it doesn’t turn red and blotchy. Great soothers include ice, skin cream (not lotion), or witch hazel (or something with witch hazel inside).

 

They have some pretty awesome tweezers for sale. Different styles and price ranges, no matter what your looking for. From $15-

Animal prints are a HUGE hit these days. I even started liking them and I have NEVER liked them. You still won’t see me wearing a zebra or leopard print shirt- but purses, clutches, and shoes- yes. Have you ever thought about animal print tweezers? Tweezerman HAS.

Animal Print Slant Tweezer- $25

Tweezerman doesn’t just sell tweezers though. They have a full line for just about every part of your body! They can help you with Brows, Lashes, Hands, and Feet.
