Eyelash Curler

Eyelash Curler While the name gives this top makeup and beauty tool away, it is still something that most guys don't know what to do with. An eyelash curler is a great way to really make sure that your eyelashes stay perked up, curled and thick! I love my eyelash curler and use it every day!

Slanted Tweezers

Slanted Tweezers You might think that you know all of the different uses for slanted tweezers, but they are not just for splinters anymore!

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Cellulose Sponge

Cellulose Sponge If you are looking for a real, deep down cleansing, these are the sponges for you! These facial sponges just need a little bit of cleanser added to them and you'll be able to glide it all around your face in a circular motion. This will get deep down in your pores!

Double-Ended Blemish Extractor

Double-Ended Blemish Extractor Do you all have this particular tool in your beauty kits? I had absolutely no idea what this was for – but it's actually for extracting whiteheads and blackheads!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

oops... i really want the Clarisonic...would love to hear which is the best one and why...

I use most of these, I really want a clarisonic too! I was wondering if there are any suggestion on a how-to or tutorial videos on things like the smudge brush, cellulose sponges, and eyebrow brush. I love my daily brush cleaning spray but once a month I shampoo them with elf brush shampoo. Also I got this really cool stipple brush that. Can be used with most powders, it has different length brissles so that you can achieve all kinds of looks, especially an airbrushed look that you can't create with other brushes! Thanks for the info and please someone five me some suggestions!

If you do another article could you maybe cover all the specific eye brushes and their uses?
