Make up is whirlwind of tactics and artistic skills! Many prefer to blend with a brush and others prefer to use sponges. Truthfully we have always been sponge fans just because we feel it adds a smoother coat on top of your skin plus the make up lasts longer throughout the day. So when we received these funky looking sponge applicators through our postbox, we were eager to try them out!
*These items have been gifted and all opinions are our own.
Firstly, we were being introduced to the brand, L.A.B2 (Live and Breath Beauty) to which these applicators are a new generation of sponges and they look really good but they work so well too!
There are 2 beauty sponges in the collection, the "Play it Charcoal" sponge applicator and "Stop and Smell the Roses" sponge applicator. They claim to deliver flawless and streak-free makeup application... so we decided to put it to the test!
Applying the foundation using the 'Play it Charcoal' sponge was very easy, one thing we noticed was how the liquid didn't sink into the sponge straight away like some beauty sponges do. It blended nicely and was streak free.
One thing we love about both sponges are that they are cruelty free which is something we massively believe in!
On the packaging it says for the best results are use the sponges wet. So after using the charcoal one dry we put the 'Stop and Smell the Roses' sponge to the test. We ran them under the tap and squeezed out the excess water and left the sponge damp. This look definitely made it more dewy which personally the both of us prefer matte looks. So overall we do prefer to use them dry however if a dewy finish is what you are after, definitely try them out wet!
The Two Sponges In Detail
"Stop and Smell The Roses" is the second sponge applicator by L.A.B2, this sponge can be used either wet or dry to achieve a flawless and glowing finish. This is a three sided sponge, like the charcoal one and this helps to get into little creases, so it's very handy!
Overall these sponges are worth their retail price of £5.99 they are affordable and offer similar results to most high end beauty sponges. If you're looking to try out a new way to apply your make up we recommend you try these sponges! Thank you again to L.A.B2 for sending us these products to try, we really appreciate it!
Thank You,
Jade and Lydia
