Makeup Blending Sponge

Awesome sponge i must say!

Okay i love this sponge and whenever i do my makeup i tend to reach for it to apply my "mousse or gel" foundation. Yes my ladies, do not use a water based foundation with it since you will use up twice the amount of foundation needed for your desired coverage. The sponge like any other or Beauty Blender will absorb all the water based foundation. But while using your desired foundation use it dry for heavier coverage and damp for a sheerer finish.

Some people might compare it to the all famous Beauty Blender sponge but a dupe is a dupe for a reason people!!! DUH! I.E. The finish will not be as flawless as the Beauty Blender but as good., almost close, in fact you cant tell the difference unless you observe very closely...

This product is an absolute must have accessory for every girl, esp. since its so affordable.

Like the Beauty Blender you use it in the same "bounce and twist motion". The rounded end is to be used o the larger areas of the face while the pointed end is to cover the nooks and crannies like the edges of the mouth, nose and eye areas.

This sponge costs AED30 while Beauty Blender retails for  AED85-90 in the United Arab Emirates. That's less than half the price of Beauty Blender! I must say its a steal! It comes in an assortment of colors too.

 

Damp sponge

 You can purchase it from Girlie Stuffs on Facebook or order from her on Instagram. Her instagram is @girlie_stuffs.

So try the sponge out and lemme know what you think!

P.S. This product was sent to me for reviewing purposes and my opinion is completely honest.

Stay Gorgeous! ;)

My Recent Haul

On my recent Ramadan cum Eid trip to Lahore i got a few things that i don't regret buying at all! I just love shopping in Lahore, Defence, Liberty, M.M. Alam Road are the places one must visit if you plan on shopping for good stuff.... This haul is from Al Fatah, D.H.A.

1) M.A.C 275 Angled Eyeshadow Brush (Thailand). Its an A+ GRADE replica. Rs.375.

2) Kryolan Professional Eye Contour Brush. Excellent for blending into the crease for the smokey effect. Rs.480.

3)  M.A.C 168 Large Angled Contour Brush (Thailand), (sorry it looks a lil fuzzy, i had washed them and didn't let them dry properly before taking the pictures). Rs.460.

4)M.A.C 187 Stippling/Finishing/Bronzing/Blush Brush. This one is the original M.A.C and its worth Rs.5080. I wish i would have opted for the Thailand replica for this one too!!!
