Common Names: Steyermark's Leporinus, Steyermark's Toothpick Fish

Overview
Leporinus steyermarki is a vibrant and active species of fish from the Leporinus genus, native to the tropical rivers of South America, particularly in Venezuela and the surrounding areas. Recognized by its slender body, long fins, and distinctive black markings, it is often called the "Toothpick Fish" due to its thin, elongated appearance. Known for its curious nature, it makes an interesting and peaceful addition to larger community aquariums, but its active swimming behavior and potential for territoriality during breeding means it should be housed with compatible tankmates.

Fun Fact
The Leporinus steyermarki gets its common name "Toothpick Fish" due to its slender body and long fins, making it resemble the shape of a toothpick. They are also known to jump when startled, so a lid is recommended for the aquarium!

Great facial wipes

Love these facial wipes! I use the facial cleanser soap in the mornings so these are great getting makeup off before bed.

Easy, Gentle and Convenient
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 25)
These wipes are super convenient and easy to use. On days when I am exhausted and just want to crawl into bed without doing a full skincare routine, these are what I reach for. They remove makeup, sunscreen and dirt well without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry. I really like that they contain ceramides, which helps keep my skin feeling hydrated and balanced. Perfect for those nights you are just tired or want a quick cleansing after working out. They also don’t have a scent which is a plus for me.

Removes makeup quickly and conveniently without having to wash your face.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 25)
First a little about me ... I am a 72 year old woman and I don't wear a lot of makeup. I did back in the 60's and 70's when Twiggy was a fashion icon, hot pants, white boots and London makeup was all the rage. Black and white cat eye eyeliner, long thick lashes and pale lip colors! I only wear makeup now when going out ... none at home. Covid also put a stop to daily makeup ... why wear makeup it you can't see your face!lol I like a natural look for my age. I wear a light dusting of Laura Geller's baked powder foundation or her liquid foundation. Starting with a primer, then foundation, some blush, and a natural colored lip gloss ... but no eye makeup. I am so envious 💚 of those who can wear the beautiful colored eye shadows, liners and long thick lashes!!! I unfortunately have had fibromyalgia for many years and it causes extreme dry eyes along with the medication I take for it. Any eye makeup is a waste of time for me as I will look like a raccoon 🦝 by the end of the day from rubbing my dry eyes!lol I was looking for a quick way to remove my makeup without soap and water. I live in Colorado and my skin is dry. Washing my face more than twice a day with soap & water drys my skin out. So I saw this and decided to give it a try. At first I wasn't sure if there was anything on the cloth when I pulled it from it's holder, but evidently there was because it removed all my makeup very easily with just one cloth. I did not have to apply a lot of pressure, just wiped my face softy all over. It didn't seem to dry out my skin on my face or leave a greasy feel behind either. My face even felt less dry when I woke up in the morning. I would imagine depending on how much makeup you wear or what kind, may affect how many wipes you would need. I can see it being very useful for getting rid of eye makeup, but it does say if you get it in your eyes to rinse your eyes thoroughly with water. For me it is a good buy so far. I will update as I continue using it and how my skin feels. 5 out of 5 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 UPDATE: I used this to remove my oil based face paint that I used for my halloween makeup this year (I was a scarecrow) and it came off very nicely. I did use 2 cloths though just to make sure I left no paint residue behind.

Best Makeup Remover!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I’m in love with these cloths! I wear waterproof SPF moisturizer, foundation and mascara daily. Before discovering these cloths, removing my makeup was such a chore! Previously I had to use mineral oil to sufficiently break down the waterproof ingredients, wipe the messy oil off with a washcloth, and follow with my regular facial cleanser. Now, I only have to use 1-2 of these cloths to fully remove the products I use and follow with a cleanser! It’s so much simpler and less messy (the mineral oil would always stick around on my bathroom sink). Although these cloths cost more than the oil, they’re a time saver and I don’t put off/sleep with my makeup on anymore! They are very gentle on my skin and don’t leave any scent behind. Highly recommend these!
