Magic magnet makeup brushes are a revolutionary beauty tool that has taken the cosmetics industry by storm. These brushes are designed with magnetized bristles that are attracted to metal surfaces, making them unique and innovative. The brush bristles are made of high-quality synthetic fibers that are both soft and durable, providing a flawless and smooth makeup application. The magnetized bristles allow the brushes to easily attach to metal surfaces, such as a makeup palette or mirror, which makes them convenient to use and keeps them organized. One of the main benefits of these brushes is their ability to streamline the makeup application process. With the magnetized bristles, you no longer have to search for your brushes or worry about them rolling off the table.
2023 NATIONAL CHAMPION
Buzz is a fixture of Georgia Tech and collegiate athletics. The idea of Buzz began in 1972 when Judi McNair constructed a Yellow Jacket costume, and in 1980, Buzz was made the official Georgia Tech mascot after Richie Bland ran onto the football field (without permission) during a pep rally. Since then, Buzz has been portrayed by dozens of students, and he remains an official student-athlete and member of the Georgia Tech cheer team. Buzz is an essential member of the Georgia Tech community for promoting school spirit, spreading positivity, and representing Georgia Tech to a national audience.
Buzz is athletic and fearless. From climbing over the stadium, stealing concessions, or crowd surfing, Buzz can do anything. Buzz is mischievous and likes to pull pranks, but he is extremely dedicated to his fans. He always stops for a photo, and he’s constantly giving high fives, fist bumps, and hugs. He loves to dance and is known for his signature stinger shaking. Buzz is full of energy and never stops moving.
Buzz attends all campus sporting events and is central to many gameday traditions including conducting the band at every ¾ mark in a game, beginning pregame activities with the traditional Buzz flip, and performing interactive skits throughout gameday. Outside of athletics, Buzz is a very active member of the Georgia Tech community. Each year, Buzz attends around 300 events on and off campus in addition to GT athletics events. These include campus engagement events, alumni galas, corporate mixers, and charity events. Every April, Buzz competes in Daytona Beach, Florida in the National Cheerleading Association’s Mascot Division. Buzz placed first this 2023 season with his iconic Mario skit and earned the new nickname, National Champion!
With the magnetized bristles, you no longer have to search for your brushes or worry about them rolling off the table. They will securely attach to metal surfaces, making them easily accessible and preventing any accidental damage. Additionally, the magnetized feature allows for easy and efficient cleaning of the brushes.

Buzz
One of the best parts of being a Yellow Jacket is that we have not only one, but two iconic mascots: The Ramblin Reck and Buzz the Yellow Jacket. We all know and love the hilarious and energetic Yellow Jacket that pumps up the crowds at sporting events and lifts up the spirits of Tech students. A lot has happened to make Buzz what he is today.
The story behind our Yellow Jacket symbol dates back to the early 1900’s when our first athletic teams were fielded. They had yet to choose an official name, so sports writers had taken to giving us nicknames such as The Engineers, the Blacksmiths, the Techs, and the Golden Tornadoes, but the school didn’t officially take up any of these names. It was actually actual yellow jackets that our fans wore in support of our team that gave us the name we go by now. The term Yellow Jackets was used to describe our fans, and in 1905, John Heisman declared that he wanted our team to be known as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
It wasn’t until the 1970’s that a human yellow jacket made its first appearance. In 1972, equipped with a homemade costume, Judy McNair began performing at football games. By 1980, the President of Ramblin’ Reck Club, Mark Loch, received approval from the cheerleading advisor and a grant from SGA to help fund a custom Yellow Jacket costume, equipped with black and yellow fur, white gloves, black tights, and Converse high-tops. The grant also helped send the first official Buzz, Rickie Bland, to mascot camp at Virginia Tech. Buzz officially made his first appearance as a member of the cheerleading squad on October 11, 1980. Rickie Bland brought Buzz to life and set the standard to make Buzz what he is today. Over the years, Buzz has become a staple at Tech athletic events. His antics keep us constantly laughing and he is the envy of all mascots. Nowadays, several students split the duties of performing as Buzz and keep their identities a secret until graduation in order to maintain the tradition of Buzz as one of our beloved mascots!
Mascot for georgia tech
They’re not just outstanding students; they’re Georgia Tech tradition-keepers. Armando Gonzalez and Aaron Burtz are two of just a handful of students who have ever donned black tights, a fuzzy head, and antennae to embody Georgia Tech’s mascot, Buzz.
“It’s hot,” Burtz joked when asked about his memories as mascot. “Really, though, I’ll remember pre-game and seeing the faces of the youngest fans light up when they see Buzz.”
Burtz admits that sometimes he wasn’t sure if they were mesmerized or terrified. Either way, being a secret part of one of the Institute’s most iconic traditions has been an emotional journey.
“You can see on people’s face the moments when they fell in love with Tech, and that’s really special,” Burtz says.
Gonzalez says Buzz’s antics were some of his favorite moments. He recalls being “in-suit” and cutting in line for Chick-Fil-A at the Student Center.
“They forgive me just a few seconds later,” Gonzalez says. “We just have fun with it. You know people feel that energy.”
They both finished their time as Buzz together, earning degrees as Spring 2020 graduates – Gonzalez studied computer science and Burtz mechanical engineering.
Typically, the identities of the students who’ve worn the suit aren’t unveiled until they graduate from the Institute — when another mascot carries them across the stage piggyback-style to receive their degree. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 crisis postponing in-person events, that opportunity will be delayed for these gentlemen.
In the meantime, Gonzalez has moved to the New York metro area where he’ll be working with Disney in software engineering.
“I’ll be working with the Disney+ and ESPN+ platforms,” Gonzalez says. “It’s a cool place to be right now.”
Engineering major Aaron Burtz (L) and computer science major Armando Gonzalez (R) both spent many days and nights during their time at Georgia Tech donning the iconic Buzz mascot uniform.
During his time at Tech, apart from serving as Buzz and as captain of the Georgia Tech cheerleading team, Gonzalez worked full-time for six terms. It’s one of the things he’s most proud of.
For Burtz, the job of FASET leader allowed him the chance to help new students make their transition to Georgia Tech. Also outside of the suit, he researched thrombosis in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a form of life support used in young patients. Over the summer, he’ll be developing a startup he began with Tech classmates while taking part in Georgia Tech’s CREATE-X program. And, in the fall, he won’t be straying far from Tech.
“In October, I’ll start working with Accenture in Tech Square,” said Burtz.
Both he and Gonzalez hope to return for the Class of 2020 Commencement ceremony that’s to be rescheduled to a to-be-determined date — and when that happens, we look forward to seeing them on Buzz’s back.

"Buzz has skyrocketed this year and is racking up the accolades to prove it," said Shana Spann, head cheerleading coach. "He's won Best Mascot 2022 with the CFA Peach Bowl, NCA College Nationals 2023, and is now nominated for the Mascot Hall of Fame.

Reviews for "How Magic Magnet Make-up Brushes Simplify Your Beauty Routine"
1. Jane - ★☆☆☆☆ - I was really excited to try the Magic Magnet Makeup Brushes, but I was highly disappointed with their performance. The bristles were not as soft as I expected, and they didn't blend my makeup properly. Additionally, the handle felt flimsy and cheaply made. Overall, it was a waste of money for me, and I would not recommend these brushes to anyone.
2. Mike - ★★☆☆☆ - I was hoping the Magic Magnet Makeup Brushes would be a game-changer, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The magnets were not strong enough to securely hold the brush head in place, resulting in frequent detachment during application. Moreover, the brushes lacked precision and didn't provide the seamless finish they promised. I was quite disappointed with this product and would not purchase it again.
3. Lisa - ★★☆☆☆ - The concept behind the Magic Magnet Makeup Brushes seemed brilliant, but in reality, they were quite disappointing. The magnets kept getting stuck together, making it difficult to handle the brushes and apply makeup smoothly. Additionally, the brush bristles shed quite a lot, which made the application process messy and frustrating. I found these brushes to be more of a hassle than a convenience, and I wouldn't recommend them.
4. David - ★☆☆☆☆ - The Magic Magnet Makeup Brushes were a major letdown for me. The makeup application was patchy, and the brushes didn't pick up product well. The magnetic feature did not work as effectively as advertised, with the brush heads easily detaching during use. Moreover, the brushes felt cheaply made and were not durable at all. I would not recommend wasting your money on these brushes; there are much better options available in the market.
5. Emily - ★★☆☆☆ - I had high hopes for the Magic Magnet Makeup Brushes, but they failed to impress me. The magnetic connection between the brush head and handle was not strong enough to hold them securely, resulting in a wobbly application. The brushes also felt quite rough on my skin and didn't blend my makeup smoothly. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance and quality of these brushes.
