Hi dollies!
So, I've been meaning to write this post for the longest time now but, for whatever reason I never got to it until now. Two months ago (aprox) I got a silisponge. I've heard both, good and bad things about it so, I had to try it myself.
First, What is the silisponge?
Silisponge is a makeup applicator made out of silicone. Some people say it's the new beauty blender. It's designed to help you save a lot of product and make the application process a lot cleaner.
Thing is, because it is silicone, the sponge won't absorb any of the product and you'll use half of what you usually do.

How to use it?
Apply your foundation and then use the narrow part of the silisponge to spread the product. You can pat the product or use circular motions until you blend it all over your face.
Once you're done blending, you can just wash it with some soap and water and it'll be clean again.
Pros
♥ You do save a lot of product.
♥ It's super easy to clean
♥ There are different colors to choose from (Yes, in my opinion, it's a pro)
♥ It is cheaper than other tools
Cons
♥ The application gets messy
♥ It doesn't blend well
♥ It's hard to apply the product in small areas (such as around the nose and eyes)
♥ It feels funny on the skin. Lol.
Do I like it?
Honestly, I don't love it but, I don't hate it. I thought I'd have to use it for a longer time to let it kinda grow on me but, it never happened. I think it's good when you want to save up some product but I always end up using my Beauty Blender to fix a few things whenever I use the silisponge.
And that means, more work...! Plus, I've poked my eye with it a few times! (That's me being clumsy, I know)
I don't regret buying it, it's been an interesting experience but I don't really reach for it as much as I reach for my beauty blender so, Silisponge VS Beauty Blender? Beauty blender for sure!
But yeah, that is just my opinion, there are sooooo many tools and techniques to apply makeup and we choose what works best for us. It just didn't work for me. If you're curious, go ahead and try the silisponge! And if you do, let me know what you think!
