Tweezerman / HSUS Paw Print Tweezers & Nail Files



You like cute? I've got cute. Tweezerman Paw Printed tweezers and nail files. Not only are they cute and portable , they benefit one of my very top causes- animal welfare with a portion of proceeds going to the Humane Society of the United States ( HSUS). I've been a member of the HSUS , and I carry a mini file with me at all times. I will definitely be picking these up.

The Paw Print Mini Slant Tweezer is only 2 and 1/2 inches long and fits in the palm of your hand.

The Matchbox Itty Bitty Paw Print naile files have rough emery grains on one side to use on tough nails, while a fine grade of emery on the other side is better fo smoother nail filing. The compact matchbox-style case houses a dozen durable, disposable mini files to be used anytime and anywhere.

From Tweezerman:
Forging a special relationship with the Humane Society of the United States, Tweezerman is pleased to donate $1.00 from the purchase of each Paw Print Mini Slant® Tweezer and $0.50 from the purchase of each Matchbox Itty Bitty Paw Print Files to the organization in an effort to assist with their mission to “create a humane and sustainable world for all animals – a world that will also benefit people."

Illamasqua Powdered Metal


Illamasqua's Body Electrics line is now up at Sephora.com . The line features lots of glistening, metallic products including Powdered Metal.

Powdered Metal is a shimmer powder in a light gold with a bit of rose shade called Thalia. Anything called metal you expect to pack some shimmer and this does. It's metallic and hs good pigment, so you get color along with the sparkle. Great not just for highlighting face but legs, decollette etc. It's also a very soft powder and does blend out pretty well but not down to a sheer finish.




A nice size puff comes with the 15 gram jar of powder. You will most likely not use this up too fast.

Powdered Metal is LE and retail is $ 36.00 . Also available at http://www.illamasqua.com/
