Q-tips have long been a staple in my house. The are handy for so many things. Hygiene, cut or scrape cleaning, medication application, make-up and nail polish, and that is just to name a few.
Thanks to
Influenster and the "Something Blue" VoxBox, I was able to try a new Q-tip product, the Q-tips Precision Tips. As you can see in the photo below, the ends of these swabs are tapered to a point. This allows, as the name would suggest, more precision. I feel like these are a beauty must item! I wear contact lenses, and my eyes often water. Typically, this happens about 2 minutes after I complete my eye make-up. If I blot with a tissue or towel, I end up making a bigger mess of my eyes, and possibly damaging the sensitive skin in the eye area, or getting bits of paper in my actual eye. This is where I have found the Precision Tips to be a lifesaver! They allow me to clean up any smudges quickly and gently. They also work for actual application of make-up products. I have found that they allow me to apply a thinner line of eyeliner, even sometimes using eyeshadow to do it. All in all, I find this to be a really useful product.
Tonight, I decided to use my Precision Tips to have a little fun. As of today, the Pittsburgh Pirates are in 1st place in the MLB. For a team that cannot manage a winning season for more years than I can count, this is a HUGE deal. So, I celebrated by giving myself a baseball themed manicure. I am not very good with painting my nails, but the Precision Tips helped a lot. I was able to use them to create my design, as well as clean up some of the messy parts where I colored outside the lines. My nails look far from perfect, but thanks to Q-tips Precision Tips, they look pretty fantastic.
