The Cheapest Beauty Tool Q Tips By Karen on Apr 07, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Q-Tips have so many uses, especially when it comes to applying makeup. I think of them as the cheapest beauty tool you can buy. I have a family size container of these little cotton swabs, 625 in all. They are lasting me quite some time.

Q-Tips are great for applying eye makeup and other types of makeup in small areas. They can be used in arts and crafts projects, are great for cleaning in tight spots, such as in between your computer keyboard keys. They can be helpful when doing your fingernails, and also when applying ointments. There are so many uses for these little cotton swabs. That's why I like to buy a big container. I like to always have them on hand, because you never know when you will need them for something.

I like the fact that they are made with 100% pure cotton. Q-Tips are very soft, which makes them good for using on a baby's sensitive skin as well. It is something so simple, but also so handy.

I'll always have Q-Tips around the house.
