Beauty Blender Liquid Blender Cleanser Review

Beauty Blender Liquid Blender Cleanser

Price: P890/150ml

I have so much brushes to use and one of the few struggles I encounter is cleaning them. Makeups are stains that get stuck in the bristles and regular shampoos and soaps won’t do. Just like our manes, they need to be taken care of so as bacteria and viruses will not grow. Remember, you get physical contact with brushes and it’s gross just thinking of bacteria-induced brushes getting to your pores. Therefore, I am also in the lookout in finding good makeup brush cleansers that will disinfect and remove every bit of makeup that’s trapped in between bristles and would also retain the shape they that used to have.

This is a cleanser that comes in a set and which I got from Zalora during a sale back early this year. Aside from makeup brushes, I love collecting beauty sponges as well so I was really glad that the value set has a cleanser to use for my tools. It comes in a chubby plastic bottle and an opaque white plastic cap wherein you gotta push one side to open. I think it’s just very useful and hygienic at the same time.

The liquid is amber-colored, smells so clean and subtle and what I really love is that you don’t have to use too much to create a very rich lather. Just a teeny tiny bit is enough per brush head. It only matters I guess depends on how dirty your brushes are. With this Beauty Blender Liquid Blender Cleanser, brush cleansing is so convenient to do. No more of those old cleansing methods that almost broke you a sweat. This melts makeup in a flash and removes every bit of stain – whether old or new – with ease. In fact, it was able to remove old stains that my previous cleanser missed. This is, by far, the best I’ve tried for both brush and sponge cleansing. Also, it’s easy to rinse without leaving soapy, slimy residue on the bristles.

If you purchase it in regular price, this may cost you more or less $18 or a little less than P1000. I suggest you buy it in value sets and if you can, wait for sale season so you can save more. I highly recommend this product as it’s a great value for money. That’s pretty much it! Happy blogging!

Real Techniques, Beauty Blender and Eco Tools Brush Haul

Recently, there was a site wide sale both at Zalora and Lazada where I scored a few individual brushes from Real Techniques limited edition brush lines and Eco Tools. I am so happy with this haul because I got them for a really great bargain prices and on top of that, I was able to get further markdowns because of a few vouchers from partner brands. As I always tell you, patience is the key. I could wait for sale season to make sure I'm getting the best deals! Anyway, here's what I got!

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH CRUSH COLLECTION

The first collection I have here are the ones from their Brush Crush Volume I collection. I have the 300 Powder Brush (P384) which has super soft, fluffy bristles that distribute powder so evenly. I bought the 302 Blush Brush (P381.50) too which is quite small and fits the apple of the cheeks. The 303 Contour Brush (P418) was a pleasure to have because it has more weight to it than other brushes and is dense but soft enough to blend contour very well. The 305 Shadow Brush (P290) is so fluffy too and it does not poke the eyes which is what I always look out for in eye brushes. Last in this collection is the 306 Kabuki Brush (P599) which would be a perfect touch to the vanity. Overall, this is a nice limited edition collection to have that sparks joy and chicness!

REAL TECHNIQUES POWDER BLEU COLLECTION

These are the Powder Bleu Collection that's made of synthetic bristles and is the luxury counterpart of the basic RT brushes. Just like the brush crush collection, these has a nice weight to them and the sturdy, sleek handles paves way for better grip. The pointed handles allow precise application and better storage as they do not roll around. Not to mention, both collections look so good in the vanity. I bought three makeup brushes which are the Soft Complexion Brush (P455), Soft Powder Brush (P455), and Soft Shadow Brush (P282).

ECO TOOLS

I stopped buying Eco Tools because the regular ones, though made of high quality bristles, are kind of light and cheap. However, I saw these and I caved in. There were tons of good feed back about the 360 Ultimate Blend Brush Set (P824) so I got them even though they are not included in the sale. I was able to snag a coupon so technically, I was able to slash a something from the regular price. These are incredible! I consider it Eco Tools' own version of paddle brushes that are way much more ergonomic and are cheaper. These brushes are so soft and dense I couldn't wait to use it! It comes in three sizes so you will have several options.

I also got the Stippling brush (P280) which looks and feel cheap but I kind of like it because it does the job and it doesn't shed as much as other stippling brushes. Also the bristles are short so application is more precised. I also have the Large Powder Brush (P226) which is feathery soft to the touch.

BEAUTY BLENDER MAKEUP SPONGE IN ROYAL (P555)

REAL TECHNIQUES POINTED CREASE BRUSH (P350)

Lastly I bought a Beauty Blender sponge and a pointed crease brush from the Real Techniques Bold Metals line. I kind of regret buying these first because I have checked and I still have tons of unused BBs and second, I rarely use dome-shaped crease brushes. Anyway, whatever, it must be nice to store them.

So that's pretty much it! I am so happy I got more brushes and I am still open for more! Happy blogging!

Changing My Blender To The Original Beauty Blender Pro and Pure

The Original Beauty Blender

Bought for: P769 | SRP: $20

Bought from: an online shop

I just noticed my feed is full of makeup tools and applications--from brushes to sponge--and for the hundredth time, let me tell you I couldn't stop myself going crazy about them. A few months ago, I purchase two Beauty Blenders in Pro (Black) and Pure (White) and though I am only using them a few times, I couldn't help admiring how they blend foundation so easily.

BeautyBlenders are here since long but I just decided to purchase mine the start of 2018 and am currently using them alternately with my buffing brushes. $20 is just too pricey for a single egg-shaped makeup sponge so I really wasn't so into it when it started dominating the social media. Until, of course, I discovered Shopee where I can get authentic stuff for a discounted price.

I'm going to cut to the chase but the reason why I chose to switch to Beauty Blenders is because they are just innovative. These are latex-free so you don't get the hard, rubbery texture other sponges has. Beauty Blenders are just so fluffy and soft and does not seem to punch you on the face other sponges would. It will become even softer and bigger (at least double its size) when you damp it with water because it "...features an open cell structure that fills with small amounts of water when wet." The idea behind it was just clever. BeautyBlender claims that when its filled, ideally, there's not enough room for foundation so almost everything else will get to the skin rather than to the pores of the sponge.

Here's my take on this. Beauty Blenders are made of soft materials than even when filled with water, it still absorbs makeup a great deal. This isn't a big deal for me though because it really takes me a lot of time to consume my foundations especially now I have a few to choose and use on a daily basis. If you are just using a single foundation, either you pay for $20 dollars for a flawless, streak-free and air-brush finish or choose to save a few bucks and avoid constant buying of foundations. You choose. Well, I guess I'd rather pay for convenience and quality. ;)

Beauty Blenders now come in lots of colors and sizes--each has its own purposes. For example, this one in Pro (Black) is intended for darker pigments which is very practical to use than light-colored sponges for stains are hard to remove. I got another one in Pure (White) and that is intended for skincare purposes, say for primers or moisturizers. Make sense because I rather not use the Pure one for foundation if I couldn't spend time washing it spot-free.

Overall, BeautyBlenders are just good investments. It will blend your makeup like a dream. I had mine for about, what, a half a year and it's still in a good shape--no tears or foul smell. I know it's hygienic to replace sponges every three months but I couldn't just get rid of it yet. I just make sure to clean it thoroughly and soak it in hot water for a few seconds before letting it air-dry to prevent bacteria buildup. I would definitely buy the original one in hot pink and nude to add up to my collection!
