Getting Your Brows in Shape: 

Gym-Inspired Sets from Tweezerman

Do you pack your beauty-stuff for the gym? I always tuck a small bag of beauty essentials into my gym bag just in case I need to touch up after my workout. Often my gym days are my errand days. So, I frequently find myself out most of the day after the gym. So, packing beauty essentials is a must!

Tweezerman has a super cute assortment of new gym-inspired sets to choose from! I got to try one out and I just love it!

Tweezerman is my go-to brand for tweezers and honestly the only tweezers that I use. Seriously, they are that good. You will have to look no further after trying Tweezerman tweezers. They are high quality and extremely effective for all of your plucking needs. I was "blessed" with very generous brows. So, I am always plucking a stray hair. It helps to have precise and effective tweezers on hand! I keep tweezers in my bathroom, handback, vanity table, etc...and they are all Tweezerman!

I got to try the adorable Get that Glow set!

Get That Glow Set ($36, Tweezerman.com)

This set has everything you need for post gym touchups + a few extras for while you work out:

• Mini Slant Tweezer
• Mini Precision Folding Razor
• Complexion Cleansing Brush
• Water Bottle
• Elastic Hair Ties & Headband
• Canvas Tote Bag

I picked this set because I thought the tote and water bottle would be perfect for the gym! The size of the canvas bag is really perfect for the gym. It is just big enough for a small hand towel (I use those for wiping down weight equipment), your water, wallet, keys, phone, a couple magazines for the elliptical, a few toiletries (I always carry deoderant, hair ties, etc) and my makeup bag. 

The Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezers are my favorite tweezer shape. They are super easy to use and are perfect for those stray hairs! I love that the complexion cleansing brush has a pop on case/lid. It keeps the brush clean and fresh! Now, I don't typically wash my face at the gym...but, I know a lot of people do. So, it makes sense that it is in this kit. I am probably going to use this brush more at home. I am new to the Mini Precision Folding Razor. What a handy little razor! I shave the stray hairs on my chin and lip. I was actually encouraged to do this by my dermatologist. I have a lot of stray hairs in that area and discovered that I was prone to ingrown hairs when I plucked that area. So, my dermatologist suggested shaving instead. This little folding razor will be perfect for that! Also, I just LOVE the water bottle. It is the perfect size and I love taking water bottles to the gym that totally seal and don't leak! 

If you are looking for a super cute set for the gym or as a gift for your gym-loving friends, be sure to check out these sets from Tweezerman! These sets are limited edition, so be sure to shop now! :)

Travel Light with Tweezerman and Conair!

Travel Light with Tweezerman and Conair:

Thinking about traveling soon for Spring or Summer vacations? One great way to cut down on bulk with packing is to take travel-sized beauty products and tools. The trick is to find travel-sized beauty tools that work just as well as their full-sized versions. This can be hard! 

Recently, I have discovered (and re-discovered) some of my favorite travel-sized beauty tools and accesories. So, I am excited to share these with you today!

Tweezerman:

I pretty much exclusively use Tweezerman tweezers. They are just the best, in my opinion. They have a tight grip and are sharp enough to really get the job done quickly and easily when it comes to tweezing. I practially tweeze something daily, be it my brows or random stray hairs. 

For travel, I am absolutely loving Tweezerman's Tweezermate 10x Lighted Mirror (retails for $36)

This travel-sized makeup mirror is equipped with three different light settings. It is a nice size, yet it is still small enough to fit in your purse or suitcase for traveling. It would also work great for those of you who do or finish your makeup at work! It stands up and adjusts easily. You can just place it on a desk or table and get ready easily! I know that I have struggled with my travel makeup mirrors in the past as I could never get the right lighting in a place that I could set the mirror. Since this one has a light, you always have great lighting with evening, daylight & indoor settings. Not only is this one great for travel, but the size really is big enough for you to use for everyday, too!

I am also loving Tweezerman's Micro Mini Tweezer Set (retails for $24). The smallest tweezers the brand has ever made, this pocked size kit includes a Slant, Point & Flat Tweezer (2” each) packed in a metallic case. They seriously are not kidding when they call these "micro" mini! These are literally the smallest tweezers that I have ever seen. I mean, Tinkerbell could use these, lol. The cool part? They perform just as good as full sized tweezers! This little set literally takes up no space and has 3 awesome tweezers to take care of all of your tweezing needs on-the-go. This cute set is now living in my purse. If traveling on a plane, be sure to stash this in your checked luggage though as it probably would not be allowed on a plane as they are super sharp. 

In terms of travel packing, my hair tools take up the bulk of my beauty items. Try as I do, I haven't been able to find a travel hair dryer that I really like. So, I usually just suffice with what is at my destination as far as hotel hair dryers (or if staying with family, I will borrow one). With that said, I really love the Conair MiniPro Smoothing Brush. This is essentially a heated brush that works to smooth down your hair. This is great for travel! I can let my hair pretty much air-dry and then either finish it up with a hair dryer or let it air-dry all the way. Then I just quickly brush/smooth this MiniPro Smoothing Brush throughout the top layers of my hair and I am good-to-go. Quick and easy and it takes up very little space: and takes WAY less space than packing my round brushes and my flat iron. I can just take this! Retails for about $19.99. 

So, these travel beauty items are some of my newest and best hacks for eliminating needless bulk and clutter when you are traveling! What are some of your favorite travel beauty items? I would love to hear!

Makeup Wars: Travel Makeup: What is in my Travel Makeup Bag?

It is time for another Makeup War! This time the Makeup Wars bloggers are comparing what is in their Travel Makeup Bag.

I really struggle when it comes to packing clothes for a trip. Actually, I am a terrible packer. I tend to overpack and it takes me forever to decide what to bring. With that said, I am actually pretty good when it comes to makeup packing! I have developed a bit of a system for makeup packing that seems to work every time! Plus, I have a handy new makeup bag that really streamlines the process.

Makeup Wars:
What are the Makeup Wars? The Makeup Wars bloggers are a small group of top beauty bloggers with a serious love for makeup. We mutually pick topics (e.g., Favorite Red Lipstick, Best Fall Look, Most Repurchased Items) and blog-blast our posts at precisely the same time every other Monday. We include a graphic link at the top and bottom of all of our posts so that you, the reader, can scroll through all of our blogs reading different blogger's perspectives on the same general concept. Get a pen and paper ready! I always seem to make my makeup wishlist while reading through all of the Makeup Wars blogger's posts!
