My Simple Beauty Tool

February 27, 2015

Y’all, I’m married to a physician, so the old school use of a Q-tip cleaning your ear only brings lectures to our home, but what my husband doesn’t understand is- I don’t keep them in our house for that reason. I keep them in our house because they are my secret, inexpensive beauty tools with a perfectly tapered tip that makes any type of makeup application easy as pie. And I don’t have to buy 30 different $60.00+ makeup brushes either. Have you tried the Q-Tips Precision Tips? Besides using them on my ears (shhh, don’t tell my husband), I ALWAYS have a cup full on our vanity because I use them literally every single day for beauty application, and today I wanted to share some of my fav. beauty quickies with you! 

#1. The perfect manicure – 100%

I stink at painting my nails, so when I don’t have time to get a manicure, or Im trying to make my manicure last longer, Ill paint my nails or paint over what’s there. The Q-Tips Precision Tips are awesome for cleaning up around the nail bed because of the tapered edge that offers a precise detailed convenience. Just dip in nail polish remover and voila, perfect nails in a minute!

#2. The perfect winged eyeliner. 

Since finding this eyeliner a few months ago, I have to admit, my cleanup has definitely decreased. However, between eyeliner and mascara, I still usually need a little help. And it’s so easy to dip in a little eye makeup remover and dab away the errors. 

#3. The Perfect smudging

Speaking of Q-Tip Precision Tips and the eyes, we can’t forget them as smudging tools! I use them every.single.day to blend my bottom eyeliner a bit so it doesn’t looks too perfect. I agree with Jenna Lyons, that everything should be a little messy and not perfect. Besides, who wants their eyeliner looking like a permanent marker drew it on? Not me. Blend, Blend, Blend. 

#4. The Perfect lip

Lastly, I know y’all watched the Oscars, and can we discuss the most perfect lips? I use my Q-Tip Precisions to line my lips with a littler pressed powder which prevents bleeding of the liner and lipstick. I usually have a few stuffed in my bag with powder for some easy on the go application. This trick is amazing because while lip liner truly prevents the bleed, it’s never 100%. I find that lining the lip with a little translucent powder really does the trick and creates that perfect Hollywood Glam!

Kisses for Bella! Oh, and this adorable polka dot sweater is on sale now and from Sorellas Elite Fashion, make sure to check them out on Instagram! They are getting in their spring items and I am just swooning!

I’ve also used these little gems to clean jewelry and more. For such a low price and so many functions, it’s a wonder more women don’t use them daily. Anyway, that’s my beauty secret, what’s yours? For other ways to use Precision Q-Tips, visit their Pinterest page. 

I truly do use Q-Tips Precision Tips in my daily routine. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
