Beauty Blender Review

I've been using the beauty blender for almost 7 months now, and I must say I LOVE it. I love using it more than my brushes. I had tried another beauty blender from a drug store but personally, the original Beauty Blender is much better. I guess because it's way more spongy and bouncy. But I have not tried every single blender out there so I could be wrong. 

Okay so what exactly is a Beauty Blender?
It's basically a makeup sponge. You can use it to apply your makeup bases such as foundation and concealer. It also helps you to build the coverage you want. So lets say today you want minimum coverage, you can go over your face with your sponge once and have minimum coverage, or you can go over multiple times to help you build up to full coverage. I guess it all truly depends on the amount of foundation and pressure you use. 

How Do I use the Beauty Blender?
All you have to do is run you blender under warm water until it doubles in size and becomes dark pink, then you squeeze out as much water as possible. Since the blender is wet, it will soak up less of your foundation and help the blending process better. Next apply your foundation to your face and then press with the beauty blender and blend out. I promise you that the finish is FLAWLESS. Also the process is soooooo much faster than it is with a brush.

To clean the blender you can use the Blender Cleanser and if you do not have that on hand, you can use baby shampoo. 

I really recommend everyone to get a beauty blender. it makes makeup application THAT much easier.

New NAKED Palette

Urban Decay has created an all new Naked palette. This palette has 6 all Matte colors that work perfectly together. Perfect for a natural every day look creation. The 6 colors range from light cream colors to browns and black.
I love this new matte idea especially since i LOVE matte shadows more than makeup itself. Matte colors always work well. No matter what kind of eye shape or type you have, it never fails to be fab. For only 27$ this palette can work wonders- without shimmer, glitter and all that messy stuff. It makes me happy- i hate glitter and shiny makeup. :P
