It’s really hard to find a good pair of tweezers. My eyebrows have been in disarray because I purchased some tweezers, thinking they were going to be good, but much to my disappointed and my eyebrows on crack…they were not.

So when I read Elke’s review on Esthetic Plus’ tweezers, I knew that if Elke raved about them, then they had to be good. Just a little while longer I told myself looking at my almost unibrow.

Yesterday I received my Esthetic Plus tweezers and quickly ran up to the bathroom to end the misery of my overgrown brows. Elke knew what she was talking about; these tweezers rock.

I received the slanted tweezer with the non-slip grip as pictured above. I I loved how well they gripped each hair, not slipping and causing me to have to keep trying to repull it. Since they worked right the first time, it took less time to get the tweezing done. As we all know, I am a big fan of saving time.

A must have in your makeup bag for sure! www.estheticplus.com

My beauty friends have always raved to me about using eyelash curlers. Most couldn’t believe that I had never tried them myself. So when the opportunity presented itself to try out Esthetic Plus’s Deluxe Metal Eyelash Curlers, I jumped at the chance.

When I received my eyelash curler, I wondered what all the fuss was about such a device. How in the world could this product really make my lashes stand out?

So, very nervously, I took out my Esthetic Plus Deluxe Eyelash Curlers and put them to the test. I got as close to my lash line as I could and squeezed the handle for about 10 seconds. I found that the black padding made it easy to see where my lashes lined up. When I released the handle to take a look, I honestly was amazed at what I saw. What a difference in the way it made my eyes look. It seemed to separate my lashes and give them a beautiful curl.

A friend mentioned to me the other day that she hated the “checkmark” look that most lash curlers create. I remember wondering what she was talking about, as I saw no checkmark look to my lashes; they simply were perfectly rounded in their curl. Upon looking through the paperwork that accompanied my Deluxe Eyelash Curler, I see that this is because Esthetic Plus is different than most.

You see, that black pad I was referring to above is thick and rounded, unlike most lash curlers that are just metal to metal or their padding is thin and flat. This thick, rounded pad creates a feathered wisp of rounded curl because it contours to your lashes.

I never pinched my lashes or felt any pain while curling my lashes, in fact, it was less scary than I thought the whole process was going to be. And my gosh, once I applied my AVON Super Full mascara, I would have to boastfully say I had the most gorgeous lashes I have ever seen. No kidding!

This is definitely a great product! See for yourself at www.estheticplus.com
