We have made a selection of tools (not cosmetics!) That simplify personal care and help you be even more beautiful. Girls, all of us should have these simple and inexpensive beauty assistants!
1. Sponges for washing Konnyaku
Konnyaku is a washing sponge made from cognac amorphophallus tubers. This plant grows in Asia and is used in cosmetology and cooking. It is called konjac in Japanese style. The word is unusual, and therefore, when translated, it is often distorted. You can find such variations as horse, horse and others.
Konnyaku sponges perfectly cleanse the skin, give it smoothness and radiance. At the same time, they work very delicately and are suitable even for girls with sensitive skin. They can be used as a stand-alone product or in tandem with your favorite cleanser regularly one to three times a week. Sponges should be changed every couple of months.
On AliExpress, you will find konnyaku in different shapes and shades. Color matters. White - universal, for all skin types. The green ones are usually saturated with green clay or green tea, the black ones - with bamboo charcoal and so on. Read the sellers' descriptions carefully.
2. Silicone sponges for cleaning pores
Such silicone sponges are a must-have for girls with problem skin. This is a lifesaver in the fight against acne and blackheads.
The spikes on the working surface are soft and pleasant to the touch. They exfoliate well, but do not damage the skin in the least. They also foam well cosmetics, such as hydrophilic oil.
3. Beauty blender
Beautyblender is an American brand known for its drop-shaped foundation sponges. Original beauty blenders are perfect for everything but price. Too expensive for a sponge! Therefore, the market quickly filled with more affordable analogues, and the word "beauty blender" became akin to "diapers". So now all ovoid sponges are called.
There are many beauty blenders on AliExpress. Moreover, it is of decent quality, and most importantly - at an affordable price. In offline cosmetic stores, such sponges are many times more expensive.
In addition to teardrop-shaped, there are, in, s and others on AliExpress.
4. Brushes for working with creamy textures
These brush brushes are designed for applying and blending liquid foundation and corrective agents. If you follow the beauty industry, you probably already guessed that they were created in the image and likeness of a brush from MAC Cosmetics.
The quality deserves respect: the pile is dense, soft and evenly cut. These brushes consume less product than sponges and are reported to have more even distribution. You can wash your brushes with baby shampoo.
5. Stencil for arrows
Not all girls know how to draw smooth, beautiful arrows. No problem! AliExpress sells stencils with which you can make cat eyes, even if you have never used eyeliner before.
It's simple. You apply a soft plastic card to your eyelid and paint over the space above the lash line with a pencil, eye shadow, or liquid liner. Not everyone succeeds the first time, but the second or third dexterity is developed.
The stencil is transparent, it can be turned over and used for both the right and left eyes. Suitable for lower eyeliner.
6. Eyebrow tweezers with highlight
- If your eyebrows grow so thickly, you must somehow fight it!
- How can you fight this?
- It is necessary to pluck, thin out.
- How?
- Well, at least a ruling pen!

Although now "thin, thin, like strings", eyebrows are not in vogue, Vera is right: they need to be looked after.
This tweezers has several advantages. It is lightweight, compact (fits even the smallest cosmetic bag), made of stainless steel, and has sharp tips (you can pry even the shortest hair).
But the biggest plus is the LED backlight. With her, not a single unnecessary edge will be able to hide. The device is powered by button batteries (AG3) and has a very, very long life. Having got used to this tweezers, it is difficult to use any other tools for eyebrow shaping.
7. Eyebrow scissors
The longer the eyebrows are, the more difficult it is to style them. Therefore, many girls cut their hair. It is very inconvenient to do this while wielding nail scissors and a brush for combing eyebrows at the same time.
Another thing is scissors with a plastic comb attachment. With them, you can trim your eyebrows quickly and without unnecessary body movements.
For the same purposes, some use.
8. Set of stencils for eyebrows
The set consists of a pencil (you can choose the desired shade) and three silicone stencils for creating three shapes of eyebrows: straight, curved and with a break.
Stencils can be used both for correction, that is, during plucking, and for more accurate drawing of eyebrows. Especially such things will come in handy for girls who decide to change the natural line of the eyebrows.
9. Cuticle pusher
A pusher (or scraper) is a tool for pushing back the cuticle and removing pterygium. For girls who do not accept edged manicure, this device is a real salvation.
In this case, the tip is made of pumice. The abrasiveness is gentle, but copes well with overgrown skin. Even a beginner in European manicure will make friends with such a pusher, which cannot be said about a metal device.
This pusher can be used both dry and by pre-softening the cuticle.
10. Varnish-film
Some simply cannot be done without getting your fingers dirty. More precisely, it is impossible if you do not have special protective equipment.
It looks like a regular varnish. Only you need to apply it not on the nail, but around. The liquid dries up and forms a film, which can then be removed along with excess varnish.
11. Pencil-proofreader
This corrector, similar to a felt-tip pen, will come to the rescue if blemishes in the manicure could not be avoided, and will allow you to carefully clean up all the irregularities.
The corrector is filled with nail polish remover. The tips are removable: when one becomes completely dirty, it can be replaced with another.
Due to its miniature size, the corrector is convenient to take with you on the road. If necessary, it can even replace a full bottle of acetone.
12. A set of dots
Dots is a ball-tipped stick used in nail art. The advantage of this tool is that it can be used to create drawings on nails, even without artistic ability.
And although the dots can be replaced with an invisible one or a toothpick, it is more convenient to have a complete set with tips of different diameters. Then the flight of fantasy is almost limitless!
13. Compact hairbrush
It fits comfortably in the hand, closes hygienically and fits into any handbag, easily combes even tangled and wet hair, bright and stylish - it's all about the Detangle comb.
In the name and design one can easily guess a hint of the famous British Tangle Teezer brushes. Only this one is much cheaper.
14. Perfume atomizer
An atomizer is a small container for perfume (in this case, 12 ml) with a spray bottle. Many perfumes are produced in large bottles designed to decorate a lady's dressing table. Carrying them with you and taking them on trips is extremely impractical. This is where the atomizer will help out. Just fill it with perfume, and your favorite scent will always be at hand.
The most famous atomizers are from Travalo. But there are plenty of decent alternatives on AliExpress.
15. Illuminated mirror
The special feature of this small (11 × 8, 5 cm) folding mirror is LED-backlit. Sometimes it is necessary to powder the nose in rooms with poor lighting, and then this mirror is just a godsend. It also saves when traveling: you can put on makeup or take off your makeup even on a train / plane, even at night.
That's it for today. But there are still many beauty products on AliExpress. Please write in the comments, would you like to read such collections in the future?
