Silicone Sponge

I've been using makeup since I was in college. I've tried different kinds of brushes and sponges for putting on my foundation and blushes. My HG for brushes are no doubt paddle brushes, they are soo good even the generic brush for Lazada are very effective when in comes to blending and layering. I don't find it great for blush or contouring though. 

The Beauty Blender is wonderful too, absolutely all around sponge. What I don't like about it are the PRICES <too steep T.T>, and the hassle of washing it everyday and making sure of storing it in a place where it wouldn't develop mould... EWW!

Recently, though, there is a new fad for sponges: the Silicone Sponge.

I've seen a couple of videos and blog posts about the silicone sponges and how helpful it is for conserving foundation because it WON'T consume any of it. 

I didn't buy the original SiliSponge, I just bought a P20 dupe from Shopee. I'm not sure how big of a difference there is when it comes to quality but I hope not much~~

Anyway, I tried to use my silicone sponge for foundation application a couple of times and all of those times proved to be HARD.

I think Silicone Sponges are for those with expert level of blending because it's not easy to remove the streaks this sponge do.

Right now, I use silicone sponge for cheek tint. It cheek tints don't require a lot of blending effort plus I get to save a lot of products.

Oh my GOSH! It's been two years since I last updated this blog. I remember when I first started I was just a college student trying to save up my allowance and do some light reviews of my fave makeups. Well, quick update, I've graduated from college, worked for a financial BPO company and then resigned. Still no boyfriend though >.< Aaaanyway, onto the Glutathione... As a kid, I grew up being morena and was usually teased by my family because most of my cousins and brother are mestizos and mestizas. Yup, that's me and my brother way back when we were really small. See the big difference in our complexion?  Over the years I've tried using different whitening soaps, lotions, sunblocks and umbrella to the max during summer, which paid off and helped lightened my skin. I was happy because of that but, I still had problems on my skin because I regularly had cystic pimples just popping up on my face and leaves marks that I thi...

MET Tathione Glutathione Soap, Oral Supplement, and Lotion (New Formula) Review

I am not new at taking oral glutathione supplements. I have tried a couple of products in the past and the deal with them is you HAVE to continuously take them to maintain their effect on your body. Luckily, it is safe to take glutathione for long periods of time. I have not had any bad experiences with glutathione brands I've taken before but I have to admit I was not a very disciplined user. I usually finish a bottle or two and then stop, then take another bottle and then stop again. I haven't taken anything for 8-9 months before I realized that my skin was not as supple as I wanted it to be and I started to see zits popping at my face. For the past 2 weeks though, I started to take MET glutathione. I tried this brand before and although I was not unhappy with the result, I was not very impressed too. But since I have been reading their new and improved formula, I went to the drugstore and bought a bottle to try it again, this time I bought the soap and the lotion so I ca...
