What happened to this excellent product of years ago?  I purchased a slant pair yesterday at ULTA and the darn tweezers do not grab the hairs.  How are you suppose to tweeze your eyebrows?  I am returning to ULTA -- so disappointing.  Anyone else have a recent problem with these tweezers?  I need to find an alternative.  Any suggestions?  HeartCat Happy

They aren't made where or how they use to be. Check, bet it's now from China or India, whereas the older ones were Germany or Italy. I know because I went on a "good tweezer" quest about 10 yrs ago, and after buying at least half a dozen, gave up. Still using my broken old Tweezerman ones.

Anastasia Beverly Hills tweezers from Ulta are very good.

The Floxite slanted tweezers I bought here are really good. They come in 8x magnification mirror case.

I'm also on a quest for tweezers that work like the ones I had years ago.  I was never a huge fan of Tweezerman. I went so far as to spend $50 on another brand that got great reviews but didn't work on me. I have been using Anastasia also but sometimes I have to try to grab the hair 4 or more times. You can send your old pair out to get them sharpened but I've never tried that.  I remember years ago even Revlon made great tweezers.

So happy to see this topic here. I will have to try Anastasia. I also remember when Revlon tweezers did the job. But then my eyesight was better and my hands were steadier!

I still like my Revlon pointy tweezers the best.

@Carol Diane@mimilucy,  I ended up with purchasing tweezers made in Germany on EBay for $13.93, free shpg.  I should have on Friday.  They are Topinox slanted made in Soligen, Germany.   THey are Pink coated.

My favorite are Bobbi Brown tweezers sold on the QVC website.
