Review (3/5): Painful and kind of flawed
Pros
• Sturdy and durable – The tweezers themselves are aluminum, but surprisingly sturdy.
• Great carrying case – Tweezers fit inside tube, just like a lipstick!
• Convenient mirror – Located inside of plastic tube that stores the tweezers.
• Easy to understand – Push a button and use.
• Light – Bright blue, useful in a way.
• Packaging – The packaging is honestly one of the best I’ve received a beauty product in. The bag is sheer with a ribbon in place for the draw string. It’s already filled with my other beauty products. The carrying case is what makes it though! It looks like a tube of lipstick, and when you remove the tweezers there’s a little mirror inside.
• Bellabe-esque spring wand – It works! It hurts like anything but man, it gets the job done. Beware areas with high density hair, it will nearly bring tears. Also, I didn’t find it effective on the outer lying hairs of my eyebrow, I believe the skin is too loose.
Cons
• Light – The button is flimsy and seems like it may break eventually. Also, when I attempted to turn the light off the first time I accidentally held down the button which actually made the light strobe. Also, it may seem silly but I felt like the light was a little too bright and washed out the area of my skin I was attacking. Finally, the light takes 3 of those watch like batteries, and I’m sorry to say that the odds of me taking time out of my day to go get these things once it dies are very slim. It does come with them included though, so for now that’s not an issue.
• Mirror – The mirror is definitely a convenience and the placement is a great idea, however, I feel like it would be more useful if the mirror was a magnifying one so I didn’t need to hold it so close to my face.
• Tweezers – The ends are not as slanted as I would like, and while I may be just tweezer challenged, I found myself chasing the same strand of hair for minutes at a time. It would be great if you could switch the tweezers that the light attaches to, but that doesn’t seem possible.
Overall, while the packaging for this product is awesome, I don’t think it’s for me. But hey, I could just be less tweezer savvy than others.
