Are these the old style spherical Gel SuperTips, or the new ones that are more straight in the shape(same shape as foam tips)?

When I ordered, they were spherical, but this was over a year ago. Tend to be larger than expected so order small.

Hi, Sorry we're temp out of stock - so can't physically check but would say they're more round than flat. Hope this helps BuzzBase

No! They are the old ones. I bought this based on the person who said yes, but she either got a different set than I did or doesn't know there are new ones. These are not the hexagonal ones and they don't have the new blending formula. I won't send them back because I like them anyway but please be aware, you may get the old ones. If you want to buy the new ones, make sure you see them first or buy them from Crafters Companion.

These are flat. It works better than angled ones when you need to bust something loose. I have both styles and prefer these.

They just seem denser ... they have the same texture as an outdoor rubber basketball. I like the "controllability" of them being a standard size. Some of those old style medicine balls got huge, as the weight increased. What a pain!

The ones I received were slightly pointed (Not like a toothpick) but were as I remembered from 40 years ago. In order to play the game they have to be slightly pointed to pick at the other sticks in order to get them out of the pile. In my opinion, they are correct.

old rounded ones. Would not recommend. One side of mine came apart with the resin seperating. Tried looking for exchange - told no.1 of 2 bad experiences with an Amazon purchase out of 000's

They are exactly as in the image. There is also a range of different sized foam tips if the conical ones do not suit.

I think they're better. Normal french tip guides aren't curved enough for my liking (and are too expensive to boot!). These come out more like what you'd get in a salon with a more noticeable smile line. I stock up on these and never buy them from beauty supply stores.

Same here. Yes they won't budge. There's 6 different sets of tips. The medium-sized foam tips hold great but are going to break down with sweat eventually. Haven't tried the silicone tips yet, but it seems to be the same size.

I used to use Q-tips for make up. Flattened round on both ends. Newer Q-tips pointed on both ends. This has flattened round on one end & the other pointed like the nail tees. Same great quality.

The ones I got did not put out any "smoke" like the old ones did. They are not like the ones from the 50s-60s. They don't have the red tip and they don't taste the same. To me, they taste pretty bad. Maybe the ones I had as a kid would taste bad now, too, but I remember them being sweet and a little minty. These taste like chalk.

Hi, Karen. They're curved slightly. We've had flat ones too - no big difference in use. They look good and work well. Nice quality. They've held up to repeated use and washing too. Hope that helps. Best, Susan

Hi there! Not the bent ones but the straight, wider ones they sell are. Here's to your good health!

The white one is the 1st generation Facemaster, it came with q-tip probes instead of the foam tips. It was no longer approved by the FDA and pulled off the market. I see lots of those being sold on Ebay. The oval-shaped one is the 2nd generation FM - it is a silvery lilac color and uses foam tips on the probes. The latest Facemaster is the silver one, it's called the Platinum and is more of a squared-off oval in shape. It has the foam tips on the probes and also has finger attachments. HTH.

They are not like a gel caps and they do have edges. But I don't think the edges are sharp. The whole pill is hard but tiny. The pill is almost round but not quite.
