A good pair of tweezers are essential to keep me looking more human than Gruffalo,
and when I was offered a pair of what Bobbi Brown called the “Ferrari of tweezers” to review. Of course, I wanted to try them out!
Rapid hair growth can work to my advantage, for example, if I was going to a fancy dress party as Helga from ‘Hey Arnold‘ and wanted to perfectly replicate her look, boom, my own personal hair gene-ie will grant that wish in approximately 1 millisecond, on the flip side said gene-ie decides to take himself off on a long holiday from his duties when I decide to get 8 inches cut off my hair and regret it the following day.
Firstly, I’ve never seen a better-looking pair of tweezers, have you??
And while the aesthetics don’t really matter of course it is appreciated!
Swiss company Rubis originally crafted precision tweezers exclusively for the Swiss watch industry. They were used to make and set Rubies into the movements of Patek Philipe, Cartier and Rolex watches.
Of course, this plus the reassuringly expensive (£29) price tag set my expectations higher than Cheech and Chong in a hot air balloon.
Initial impressions were good. They do indeed grip even the tiny just grown through hairs and remove them with ease!
However… those minuscule hairs that are basically black dots. Sadly the above-mentioned blurb does not reflect their ability to get those little fuckers out!
Overall they are a fantastic pair of tweezers, personally, I wouldn’t exactly go as far as calling them the Ferrari of tweezers, (the Porsche Boxter maybe) or be willing to pay £29 for them because performance wise they are exactly on par with my *mini tweezerman’s which cost less than a tenner.
Of course as mentioned the design of this pair are very very pretty, however, the only stockist I could find for the 6 star design was *ebay. The entire Rubis range which has considerably cheaper, plain designs that presumably perform the same can be found on *Amazon Cult beauty and Beauty Bay
What are your favourite tweezers?
