The following was reviewed by contributing writer, Amy.

I confess, I am a total Q-tip fan. I use a Q-tip every day to apply my eye makeup; nothing works better!

Have you seen all of the uses for Q-tips? The ideas are endless! Personally, our family uses Q-tips for painting projects with the girls, cleaning the screens on our cell phones, and getting in-between the crevices in our laptop keyboards.  Q-tips also help keep my wedding rings clean and shiny.

Q-tips are so versatile, and are a must-have for any household.

I was really excited to use the new Q-tips Precision Tips on my eyelids because sometimes, well, a regular Q-tip gets a little fuzzy. The Precision Tips held up great for applying my eyeliner!

Whether you choose to moisten a Q-tips® cotton swab with warm water to clean your child’s outer ear, nose, folds of the neck or between toes, or clean around a scratch or scrape on a little one’s knee with a Q-tips® Precision Tip™, these tools are soft, safe and gentle for every day use.

Through Thursday, 12/15, you can enter the Q-tips Tip-a-Thon! To participate, simply share the ways you use Q-tips cotton swabs or Q-tips Precision Tips, and you will be eligible for a chance to win a $100 gift card or a grand prize worth $1,000. See the Q-tip Facebook page for more details. But hurry, because this ends tomorrow… so submit that tip now!

And… one lucky Kingdom First Mom reader will win a Q-tips Gift Pack, including a $25 AMEX Gift Card, courtesy of Q-tips and RocketXL.

ONE reader will win a Q-tip Gift Pack + $25 AMEX Gift Card.
