Beauty Blender!


So I have heard a lot of hype about the Beauty Blender so I decided to buy it and try it out for myself and I have to say that I really like it. It is so easy to use and if you make a mistake with your blush then you just gently stipple with the Beauty blender over your cheek and it blends in so naturally. 

What I do when I use it is I make sure that it is really soaked and then I squeezes it dry and gently wrap a towel around it making sure I got all of the water out of it so it's only damped, and then I lay it on my make up table as I apply my primer and my eye make up and then I apply my foundation, so when I use the Beauty Blender then its not soaking wet, which it shouldn't be, but it is damped. It is so easy to use you just either pump some foundation on your hand and then stipple it onto your skin or you pump it directly on the beauty blender and stipple it in.

I love the fact that it is damped so it doesn't soak up all of your foundation. I use it every morning because it doesn't make any marks on your face and it just makes a flawless look, which I love. 

I would say if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a foundation brush, then the Beauty Blender is a good choice, because it can also be used to blend out your concealer so its like two in one. 

It is also a lot easier to clean then one of my Sigma brushes so you don't have to spend so much time on cleaning it either which is a big plus and I didn't buy the cleanser that "belongs" to the beauty blender, I just use baby shampoo which works really good. 

I know it might be a lot of money on a sponge, but if you see it on a sale then buy it because it is worth it. I sadly can't compare it to other sponges, but I do plan on trying out some others, and see if I can find a cheaper option to this sponge. 


I hope this helped :)

Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation Review

I'm a big fan of the Maybelline Dream Matt Mouse Foundation, because first of all its just so easy to work with and it gives the most beautiful look on the skin. Now I have finally tried the Maybelline Dream Creamy foundation. I can already say I'm a big fan of that one as well. I use the color 30 Sand, which just matches my skin perfectly, and there is nothing worse than when your foundation doesn't match at least not to me, so I'm glad that I have found the perfect color for me. 

I like that this foundation is so easy to work with and it has some kind of cooling effect when you apply it. If feel a bit off or if my skin feels irritated or my skin is really red one day, then this is the foundation that I use. It feels so good on the skin and it's so easy to apply it takes no time. I have applied this with a sigma F 80 and a beauty blender and it works perfectly with both.  

I don't think this foundation last all day, you do need to touch up, but with this foundation it's so easy to do the touch ups because this foundation doesn't look caky at all. It has such a natural finish and it feels so amazing on the skin. I wish it would last a bit better on the skin, but with the perfect primer then it might be perfect. For right now I love using it and I will buy this foundation again, because it is so easy. 


It also hydrates your skin in a way I haven't felt in a foundation before, so this will be really good in the summer. It covers really well, I have really red cheeks and it covers it. You can built this foundation up because it won't cake on you, which I just love. It's so thin yet so effective, so defiantly something to try , and if you don't like it as a foundation, then use it as concealer :) 

As you can see the package is a nice little compact solution, you have the foundation and a little sponge, so its easy to place in your back and have it with you during the day. So all in all I would try this foundation out and see if it works for you, because if it does then it's an amazing product, if not then it is a really good touch up product to care with you, but I will continue to use it as a foundation because I just love it. 


Have a nice Weekend! :) <3
