I was recently out-of-town for a few days and went into my travel bag only to find that I had forgotten my tweezers, mirror and a few other travel essentials at home (which is very unlike me). Knowing that I was going to be gone for several days, I knew that I would need to clean up my eyebrows– therefore, I headed to the store to get some tweezers and some other essentials. As soon as I saw the Tweezerman Wide Grip Slant Tweezer, I decided to make the purchase, rather than buy what I already had at home. I am so glad that I bought these instead, because I reach for them more than any of my other tweezers. I love the wide grip and the textured center, and these tweezers catch every last hair, no matter how fine.
According to Tweezerman,
A Slant Tweezer that is designed for extra comfort featuring a textured no-slip grip that allows for perfect control when shaping and defining brows with precision. Crafted with hand-filed tips are perfectly aligned to effortlessly grasp every hair.

Ergonomic tweezer body design is wider for added stability.

Regular price
Overall Assessment: I am so happy with my purchase, and really prefer these tweezers to all of my others. Had I not forgotten mine at home, I probably would never have discovered these! A+++
