Go into mcdonalds, or any other place similar that sells coffee, they all have really thin wooden sticks that would be ideal for what you need,
i used to go in and grab a handful at a time to display nail art tips on, they are good for waxing eyebrows too lol
I use these - although you can buy them from office and catering suppliers if you don't want to sneak round McDonalds. They are great for waxing eyebrows -that is what I originally used them for.
I also have some of the plastic spatulas but tend to use these more for make-up e.g picking up a small amount of lipstick
