Mickey says: "Not like I have a problem with perspiration or anything, but these are just in time with the warmer weather approaching for us seasonal folk. I hear they are a necessity for stylists working in Hollywood and the fact that they come in black makes them a part of my daily wardrobe. Never let them see you sweat!"

Mickey says: "We handed a purse pack of Q-tips to a busy mom and another to an executive. The mom found these little white wonders to be a new best friend for nails and grooming. The executive found them to be the ultimate makeup touch up tool, and no longer needs to carry around a big brush kit. Whatever your schedule entails, Q-tip purse packs are handy."
