Sephora - Not Just A Women's Shop

Guys, it's time to shoot you straight. I have spent a little time clicking around Sephora's site. See, the girls here at work spend a lot of time talking about all the wonderful deals and selection at Sephora. After over a year of hearing about it, I had to take a look for myself, and you know what? They were absolutely right; Sephora has more stuff than I ever knew existed, both for women and for men.

Before I continue, I'll tell you a brief and 100% true-as-can-be story: I was giving myself a once-over in the mirror the other day before going out for a night on the town. Now, generally speaking, I tend not to be much for staring into mirrors. I see enough of myself in passing, I don't need to preen. Rather, I usually wake up, run my fingers through my hair, throw on jeans and a sweatshirt, and make a dash for the door. So I happened to be giving myself a once-over and I notice about two inches up from my hairline there is one hair sticking up a solid inch above the rest of the hair. I did a double take and looked even closer and sure enough, there it was: one single straight-as-an-arrow black as midnight hair standing at attention. But here's the thing: I have wavy brown hair. I don't know where this came from or what in the world it was doing sprouting from my head. So, being the well-groomed gentleman that I am (if you don't factor in the four days of stubble) I did the logical thing: I grabbed my tweezers, got close to the follicle, and yanked that sucker clean out.

"Now Bill", you may ask, "why in the world are you discussing rogue hairs and your personal system for keeping your gorgeous locks in order?" Simple - when I yanked that sucker clean out, I also managed to snag about four or five other hairs out with it. Those poor little fellas that got plucked were just like their brothers - brown and wavy, they just happened to be too close to the outlier, and they suffered a fate prescribed to them by a bad pair of tweezers. See, like most men I know, the one pair of tweezers we have is a crappy old pair that you probably stole from your parents when you moved out or went off to college. TweezermanIt wasn't until recently I realized how much better my tweezing experience could be. Especially since I was introduced to Tweezerman. At the recommendation of a number of well-wishers, I tracked down a pair of Stainless Steel Slant Tweezers from Sephora, and now I have the lazer-precision that comes with a pair of well-sharpened precision tweezers, all for a mere $20. What makes me even more confident is that not only do I get 8.0% Cash Back through Ebates, I know I can feel confident that I invested $20 in a pair of tweezers that will last me the rest of my life, as Tweezerman boasts lifetime sharpening if my tweezers ever get dull.

Gents, clean yourself up with something nice from our Health & Beauty category.

Those are some of the best tweezers in the world. Man tweezers. Though Mrs. Bubba borrows them whenever she can.
