MAC's latest limited edition Give Me Liberty Of London Collection was based on William Morris’ Strawberry Thief print, which dates back to 1883. The collection has some of the prettiest packaging and cutest colors I have seen in a while.

Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge Review

4 November 2008

During my recent trip to Target, I picked up the Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge. This palm-sized sponge retails $9.99 and is a great knockoff version of the legendary Beautyblender. Unlike the Beautyblender, the Blending Sponge is slightly larger with a pointy top and a dome-shaped base. It also curves in the middle so you can get a better grip. I have been using this blue baby to apply foundation and concealer and the results are more than satisfying!

To use the sponge to apply foundation, I run tap water over it, let it saturate and squeeze out the excess water until it is slightly damp. Next I roll the base over a drop of foundation on the back of my hand and apply in a stippling motion. I apply concealer in the same way except I use the pointy end to get to those hard-to-reach areas around the nose and under the eyes. My makeup blended into my skin seamlessly and it took less than 2 minutes!

My only complaint is the lack of instructions on how to use and clean the product. I also read that some people have troubling cleaning this. I have been using my favorite Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil and it seems to get everything out.

All in all, this is a very good makeup sponge for liquid and cream products. Definitely worth the $10 and one of the best drugstore finds out there!
