dickinson's witch hazel pore perfecting toner
I saturate a cotton pad with it and rub it all over and around my brows before tweezing. Don't squeeze too hard, though. You don't need it running down into your eyes. Please, don't let a beauty hazard become a health hazard.

Tweezerman Slant Tweezers
This is it. It grabs the hair your want to remove without pinching. I can finally stop buying tweezers. I prep with witch hazel, tweeze my brows and finish with alcohol. Easy. Painless. Quick.

Schick Intuition Plus Renewing Moisture Razor

I tried this product when it first launched years ago and hated it. Maybe it's better by now, but I'm no longer interested.
It's just a regular razor with a huge moisture block around it. I still had to use shave gel. The handle's too big and that block was just in the way. Furthermore, I'm not comfortable using the same blade until the block wears down. Please, switch blades early.

Olay Facial Hair Removal Duo Smooth Finish

I used the original formula for fine-to-medium hair (turquois stripe). But, the newer duo is for coarser, more resilient hair (magenta stripe). They're both $23.99 USD.
They borrowed this concept from hair relaxer kits. I even tried applying petroleum jelly before depilatory creams, once. The jelly just blocked the cream completely and nothing happened. So, I was excited to try this "guarding balm" before applying the cream. I always rub the balm wider than needed (and apply the cream only where it's needed) to provide more protection.
The balm is thin enough to allow the cream to work, but tough enough to prevent chemical burns!!!
After 5 minutes, I remove both products with a WARM damp (not soaked) paper towel. Then I rinse, while GENTLY rubbing the treated area with my fingers. I pat dry and apply a gentle moisturizer. Do NOT use a toner, retinoid or acne treatment on you hair removal days.
If you need to leave the product on longer than the allotted 8 minutes, try the stronger formula. I didn't experience any discomfort or irritation. But if one formula irritates you, try the gentler one next time.

The formula is very dry and thick, so I applied it fast.
I tried the white one, which is no longer on online. Here's why: I applied it to my lower waterline and didn't blink until after it set. Well, the dried mascara from my upper lashes still scraped it off, as soon as I blinked.
So, this product is strictly for the UPPER lash line. They should only offer dark colors.

Maybelline New York Master Drama Eyeliner
I tried "Midnight Master" because it was the blackest and I usually line my upper lids with a perfect black. This gel-cream pencil gives a smooth solid inky black line. It's soft, blends well and last 4-6 hours. You'll have to reapply before going... +
I tried "Midnight Master" because it was the blackest and I usually line my upper lids with a perfect black. This gel-cream pencil gives a smooth solid inky black line.
It's soft, blends well and last 4-6 hours. You'll have to reapply before going out. But, it's a great deal for a drugstore find.

RevitaLash Raven 12 Hour Eye Liner
It's not black enough, is extremely dry and doesn't even contain the serum. Why would they make a liner - or a mascara - that doesn't contain their famed lash-growth formula?

I tried Stila's "Damsel" (an off-black pewter) with taupe, green and teal color palettes. It's dark enough for the upper lash line, soft enough for the lower lash line and edgy enough for both.
When I wear it solo, I rim my entire eye just before applying mascara. With smoky eyes and nude lips, I apply it to my lower lash line and black to my upper lash line. With pastel eyes and bold lips, I apply it on the upper lash line and no liner on the lower lash line.
I usually apply shadow first, liner second and mascara last.

Wet N Wild Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner

I liked the moss green Wet n Wild ColorIcon eye liner with taupe and pewter shadows. Because it's neither golden nor silvery, more people can use the same green liner. It's extremely neutral for a color pencil. If you're my color or darker, try color liners on the lower lash line and always apply black to the upper lash line.
It smudges well, sharpens well and lasts all day. Most pencils of that price just split and crumble in a sharpener, but not this one.
