On some lazy days when I don't feel like using brushes, I'd always opt for either cushion or sponge. Not only it makes your foundation look completely flawless, it also saves time. However, there are two downsides I've encountered so far, one: probably because it's not as durable as brushes, therefore you spend more money on it, and two: cleaning brushes is a way easier task than cushion or sponge.
Masami Shouko Beauty Blender.
Performance wise, this sponge is so much better than the older hourglass version, I like how it bounces so easily and feels soft when I dab it on my skin. It doesn't absorb much foundation making my face looks flawless just like an airbrush finish. Moreover, washing beauty blender is no longer a pain in the ass anymore. I'm using my Etude House Puff & Brush Cleaning Mist, soak it into a pool of water, and squeeze it gently to get the foundation out of the sponge. Yes, basically you've got to squeeze and rinse until there's no makeup residue on the surface. I've heard some people soak their sponges with alcohol, but is it recommended? Do you have any other way to sanitize it? Lemme know the trick!
Price: IDR 88,900
Masami Shouko Beauty Blender.
Well well, as a Beauty Blender dupe, I can say they're proud to name the product exactly just like its original. I don't hesitate to buy Masami Shouko product because it's been very familiar to me and their brush quality is amazing in such affordable price. This isn't my first Beauty Blender dupes I've ever tried, my first dupe was also from Masami Shouko, back then they didn't have it in this shape. Now it looks like they offer in 2 different shape, and it's kind of questionable whether they're the same because this one definitely has a different feel or probably they make an improvement. The second one was from Too Cool For School, I wasn't happy about it, the quality was bad, it smelled weird and didn't perform well. What a waste of money!
Product description and how-to.
It comes in two different color; pink like mine and black, plus two different shape (like I said earlier); teardrop and hourglass. I picked the teardrop one in pink just because my previous ones are hourglass model in black and white.

I always just do the soap and water thing with my blender sponges. If I remember right I've heard about people microwaving them like they would a kitchen sponge, but there is no way in hell that can be safe. I know it will sanitize a kitchen sponge. I don't know what it would do to the blender sponges since they are a different material. I wouldn't risk it - it's easier to go get a new sponge than to go to the hospital with chemical burn or whatever the fumes could do to you, haha.
ReplyDeleteI've had really good luck with the London SoHo brand sponges. I've never been able to get mine completely clean. They always have a tint of the foundation no matter how many times I wash them.
I don't really like using sponges. I like to use my fingers!

Ah I see... I guess rinsing it in warm water is enough then for sanitizing. Btw, mine is like that too, it can't never be completely clean. Thank you for the suggestion :)
DeleteCoba cuci pake si Daiso Sponge Cleanser deh. Mitch! Cuma pake kaya setengah sendok teh dicampur air semangkok kecil, paling sekitaran 100 ml trs direndem 5-10 menit langsung bersih lagi gak usah pake di bejek-bejek kelamaan. Bejeknya pas di awal aja pas mau rendem itu kan biar airnya nyerep ke sponge. Abis direndem bejek-bejek dikit, langsung bilas sampe bersih.
ReplyDeleteVan.. Adakah cleanser itu di Daiso sini? T__T
DeleteDi FD banyak yang jual tuh, cuma 55 ribu kalo ga salah
DeleteAku juga tertarik cobain ini, tapi ada temen blogger yang bilang, punya dia dicuci sekali langsung rusak, jadinya aku maju mundur gitu buat beli, secara duit 80ribuan kalau sekali dicuci rusak kan sakit hati juga ye T^T punya kamu aman2 aja kah?
ReplyDeletehttp://farrelandmerry.blogspot.co.id
Nggak kok, ini aku udah cuci sampe 3 kali masih bagus bentuknya hahaha...
DeleteWah gitu ya, oke lah aku cicipin aja XD
DeleteBTW jawab yang di atas soal daiso, gak bakalan ada yang jual di daiso indo, katanya sih ada ketentuan kalau liquid gak masuk ke indo. Carinya di luar, kayak daiso singapore, atau kalau kebetulan ke jepang, beli aja di jepang lebih murmer cuma 108 yen udah ama tax itu XD
Huhuhu jadi gitu yaaaah. Nasib nasib. Cari di online shop aja kalo begitu xP
DeleteSounds really good.. :)
ReplyDeleteaaa~ the sponge looks cute <33

I don't really clean my cushion puffs, because they are quite cheap to repurchase + it's sooo hard to clean them haha. :D
ReplyDeleteAs for beauty blenders I've never actually tried one, oops.

I have heard so many good things about the beauty blender. I got an off-brand version from Kohl's and did find it to be a good product but was not overly impressed but a MUA friend of mine swears by her original.

I agree! Cleaning makeup sponges is such a hassle than cleaning makeup brushes. I do mine like what Tati from Glam Life Guru on youtube taught me! ;P Just microwave those sponges for 1 minutes. I already done the method countless time and my sponges are still in good condition. :)
