Getting Your Brows in Shape: Gym-Inspired Sets from Tweezerman

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! :)
