Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender Review

Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender

Price: P550

Bought from: Ecotools Lazada

I've already shared my most recent Lazada haul and one of the few makeup tools I got is this Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender. It wasn't in my cart until I needed a few extra bucks to take advantage of the free shipping option. I am so happy that I gave it a go and it feels like I couldn't live without this blender anymore!

CLAIMS

The Total Perfecting Blender is designed with EcoFoam® Technology to blend primer and foundation for flawless looking skin.Use sponge wet or dry.

When using wet, squeeze excess water until damp. Apply makeup all-over face in a “stippling” or “bouncing” motion to blend product into skin. Dry and display sponge in aerated storage stand until next use.

This blender is very much reminiscent of every beauty guru's all-time favorite Beauty Blenders. The latter is still a bit better in my opinion but Ecotools' are still awesome on its own for the reason that it's about half the price of regular Beauty Blenders. Also, it's vegan and cruelty-free.

I love that it's phenomenal - I mean every corner and part of this blender has its use! It comes with two flat sides which you can use for baking and for concealing. When wet, this sponge grows in size and the butt part is enough to cover a huge surface area so you get the job done very fast and easy. On regular days though, I like using the bigger flat side for foundation because it's more ergonomic. The smaller side is perfect to blend out concealer on smaller surface area.

This product comes in green color which is fine since I always prefer darker shades so stains will look very minimal. I'm still delighted that this sponge cleanses well with my Beauty Blender Liquid Blender Cleanser. Also, compared to other cheap sponges, this go back to its original shape once dried.

Overall, Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender is a great investment. This blends makeup very nicely and seamless on the skin so you get medium-full coverage. As advised, use it dry for fuller coverage and wet for sheer and dewy finish. Either way, I like how my base makeup looks whenever I use this. Also, it's a great alternative for the expensive Beauty Blenders - just saying if you are budget-conscious like me.

You can purchase this product at Ecotools official website or stores here in the Philippines. They have trust-worthy retailers at Shopee, Zalora and Lazada. Just be careful and make sure you are buying from certified official stores because yep, imitations are everywhere!

Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo Review

Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo

Bought for: P450 | SRP: P650

Bought from: Ecotools in Lazada

Time, why on hurry? 2019 is almost about to end and here's me still can't keep up with all these drafts and reviews that pile up nonstop. I'm gonna try my best to post as many as I can today and tomorrow so let's see. Without further ado, here's a short review about Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo which is part of my haul last 11:11 Lazada sale.

CLAIMS

A pair of concealer brushes to cover imperfections. This set blends liquid products seamlessly and precisely. It includes Detail Concealer Brush (to target spots and conceal discoloration) and Airbrush Concealer (to blend and blur harsh lines). These are perfect for a flawless, spotless complexion.

I intend to keep this blog short because I honestly didn't like them so there's nothing much to say. 'Like' is even probably an understatement because I hated this duo and I think these types of brushes should cease to exist.

Update: I checked Ecotools website and they seem to revamp this duo. Now there's three heads instead of two - the detail and airbrush concealer brushes are now in a dual-ended packaging and they added a different brush to the set which they call the Correct Concealer brush which looks like a mini kabuki.

I have no say on the packaging - it's the typical Ecotools eco-friendly bamboo handles with brush names on the end. The detail concealer looks like a mini paddle-type brush while the Airbrush Concealer looks like a mini duo-fiber brush - both of which aren't my preference for liquid products. I still gave them a try because I was looking for good concealer brushes to add to my collection.

One thing I didn't like is that they are small enough for me not to count on for faster blending and application. They're probably okay only for spot concealing. Second, they are both irritating to use. Both brush head, especially the airbrush concealer, don't have the softest bristles and whenever I apply products with these, I feel like some tiny mustache/beard hairs are piercing my pores.

I'm quite picky with makeup brushes and I only keep the ones that are gentle and clearly, Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo didn't make it to the cut. The bristles aren't something to die for. They look dirty and they stain so much. They don't do a great job in blending either for they leave streaks and whatnot. I hope to find better ways of using them or else, I'm throwing them away. They are quite pricey for P650 and I think I could buy so much more better brushes for that price.

Do let me know what you think of these by sharing your thoughts down below! Looking forward for a chat with you! Happy blogging!
