Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge

You may recall a January post in which I mentioned I had purchased one of these beauties after reading some good reviews in blogland. And whilst I get excited about new products when it comes to application it's better if I hold my thoughts and re-evaluate the situation after a little while for an objective result. Which is what I have done here.

So let me get to the point... When I first started using this product I really liked it. However, that was probably due to it being during the weekend which mean *no rushing* and of course my makeup always goes on better as a result. So I continued to use this for a week or two everyday following purchase and then stopped.

For me this is not a product to use for applying foundation to the whole face. I found it actually soaked up a bit too much product meaning my skin didn't look it's best.

However, then I learnt to use it when it is damp. Well, what a REVELATION that was! It makes SUCH a difference to my makeup application - particularly when it comes to layering. I am so pleased I bought this product and learnt how to use it to suit me and my skin. I can see why so many girls were raving about it.

I would definitely recommend this and would suggest trying it wet also. I literally run under the cold tap and squeeze excess out before using it with foundation. It stops the foundation getting soaked up by the sponge and ensures beautifully smooth application.

You can purchase here for £4.95 with free delivery! Go on, you know you want to...

(for the best result apply in circular patting movements!)

Boots Half Price Sale on Christmas Gifts

I love that Boots do this...

Every year you get chance to pick up some bargains when they reduce all the 3 for 2 gifts by 50%. MAJOR SAVINGS, particularly on brands such as Ruby and Millie and No7.


I only got to go down today so I think that most of the bargains will have been snapped up some time ago when I think back to how much stuff there was left before Christmas!


But just to be clear I managed to pick up the Ruby and Millie palette and brush, along with the Umberto Giannini hair set for half price. I also picked up the Urban Decay Primer Potion and Cosmopolitan's Makeup Sponge! Cannot wait to try!

(especially happy I managed to pick up the highly raved about "Backcomb in a Bottle")

I also can't wait to try all these beauties that I recently received in the post!! Tesco have a new styling range where everything is £2.00! Bargain or what!?


My hair is going to be getting A LOT of styling over the next few weekends so that I can try everything out!
