There are hundreds of manufacturers that make plain old stainless steel and/or plastic tweezers for general use. However, there are also specialty tweezers available to those who need or want them. Assuming that they are for cosmetic and personal hygiene use, will most tweezers do about the same job? The Answer is no.
About 15 years ago, I invested in pricier tweezers (Tweezerman), after all these years I still have it, these tweezers never had to be sharpened or any other issues with it.
Are all tweezers made the same? NO…. Many tweezers sold in drug stores don’t work very well. Many times it breaks the hair from the skin instead of pulling it from the root. Drug store tweezer often lose their sharpness with 2 to 3 months of using it. If you are one of those women who needs to use her tweezers 3 or more times a week, I recommend in investing in some quality tweezers. Once you own one of these tweezers you can never go back to you old ones again. My secret to still having my tweezers is because I keep mine in my purse in my cosmetic bag. I always carry it with me in case I of an emergency.
Here is a list of some best tweezers in the market.
The most well known specialty tweezers are either the Rubis Tweezers , Tweezerman, or Mehaz Personal Tweezers. When doing an online search for the best tweezers, these two products come up instantly, and top the list with the first eight or ten search results dedicated to them. These tweezers are styled to work well, and are also styled to color coordinate with other cosmetic accessories. However, while the Tweezerman Tweezers are available in an array of colors, the Rubis Tweezers is only available in stainless steel or red, if color is an important choice. All these tweezers are backed by a lifetime guarantee. These are also available in a wide array of colors to suit each person’s personal preference.

Finally, I hit the big 4-0 but the funny thing is I don’t feel it. About 2 months back, I stopped getting asked for my ID.
Working in the cosmetic industry, I come across many women of all different ages. I often get asked “how old do you think I am?” by many of my clients.
If you were to ask me…do I come across women who actually look younger than their age –Yes, Do women look older than their age– Yes, Do women look their exact age– Yes. Much of age depend on health, how good we feel about our age, how happy and positive we are about our choices we made in life, Our weight, How we dress, and most important How we wear our hair and makeup.
I think many women in their 40’s don’t know how to wear their makeup and hair.
Tips on wearing makeup in your 40’s
First and most important is taking care of your skin, start with a gentle face cleanser, a mask once a week, good moisturizer, good hydrating eye cream, SPF 30 or higher.
Next choose a foundation that is sheer or tinted that is moisturizing. Stay away from oil free or matte. Matte can make you look dry and focus on wrinkles. Basically oil free and matte foundation can make you look like a Prune.
Optional if you choose to set your foundation with powder go with loose or translucent powder.
40’s is a great age to wear Blush if nothing else. I have noticed as we age our skin loses its natural glow and our skin starts to have this dull color to it. Best way to add color to our skin is by applying blush. Choose a Blush more natural to your skin color with a little radiance and brightness. Best colors are some soft pinks, peachy, peachy Bronze or apricot. I usually prefer cream blush over powder blush because cream blushes add radiant glow to you skin.
For eyes very important, if you never wore an eyeshadow base start now. You will be shocked how eye shadow base takes years of your eyes. Our lids get darker and thinner as we age the base is great because it gives it a lift and brightness to your eyes. You don’t even need to wear eyeshadow just apply the base and go. My favorite eyeshadow base is by Laura Mercier nothing works better. But if you choose to wear eye-shadows, I usually use my blush as eyeshadow because our lid start to get a little dark as well so applying soft bright colors. To apply eyeshadow start from the lid to crease. Pick a dark navy, dark chocolate, or very dark purple as a liner for the eyes. Apply the liner along the upper and lower lash line and smoke it out especially heaver on the corners of the eyes. Finish with a mascara.
Picking colors for the lips can be a tricking but pick colors closer to the shade of you lips and just go a little brighter or even a darker and follow it a lip pencil. It is very important to line your lips. It make you lips look fuller and prevent the lipstick from bleeding.

Today perfume has become a $10 billion industry. Every designer, celebrity, to sports MVP’s are coming out with their own signatures FRAGRANCES. Some of these icons have more than a few signature fragrances. With so many Fragrances to choose from, how do you know which one will be the right one for you. Today many women have fragrance wardrobes of at least six different perfumes, rather than a single signature perfume, keeping one special perfume for that special occasion. That’s what I call the signature fragrance.
Here are a few tips for choosing your right Fragrance
When in store spray a perfume and then walk around for a minimum of ten minutes to 2 hours. Some perfumes take more like half an hour or an hour to truly develop. For example, many Guerlain Fragrances do not convince me much at first Spray, but after an hour or so I love how they warm up to my body’s chemistry.
Seasons play an important part in picking your fragrances. During spring and summer most of us like very light, floral, and clean scents whereas in fall and winter more of a sexy, sweet, musky, some hints of floral and powdery scents are more popular.
Tricks to spraying a perfume
Apply perfumes to your pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. Make sure you do not rub wrists together as this crushes the smell. Spraying a little into the air is also good if you walk straight into the perfume. This helps to diffuse it over your body. Do not simply apply to the neck always work up the body as the scent rises.
One way I always know that I love a fragrance is by how many people compliment me on it. Of all the fragrances I have ever tried, the one that I get more compliments than any other is “Angel” by Thierry Mugler still my favorite and my signature fragrance.
Here is a list of some of my favorite Fragrances and most of these are great for fall and winter but if you love it you can wear it year round.
