Rubis Tweezers

Bobbi Brown calls these slant-tipped wonders "the Ferrari of tweezers," and brands them for her line. They come with a cover for the tips, to keep them ultra-sharp for as long as possible, and make brow maintenance a lot easier. From the website:

Every Rubis tweezer is hand finished. Every Rubis tweezer goes through a 40 step process before leaving the factory, and every Rubis tweezer is examined under a microscope before leaving the factory. Remove every hair, every time.

I got a free pair of these from Chi Chi Leitman, who does private label for Bobbi Brown. Chi Chi found Rubis on a trip to Switzerland, where she went in search of the perfect tweezers. (I used to work in Switzerland, and all I ever got there was a tongue stud. Hey, I was 23, it was a dare...And it only lasted a few weeks.)

Although my pair was free, I'd happily part with $30 for a pair - it's an investment that lasts and saves you time chasing errant brows. If faster and easier beauty isn't worth your money, what is? (Don't you dare say orphans and baby seals. They'd want you to have pretty brows, too.)

  • What do you get when you throw a true beauty obsessive in Europe together with a veteran beauty journalist in LA? Not much room on the bathroom shelves, that's for sure. Make-up, hair products, skincare, perfume, salons, spas, luxury hotels with toiletries and treatments that make us never want to go home - if we've left anything out, you can pry our mirrors from our cold, dead, perfectly manicured hands.
