Hello my fabulous Diva Dolls so this week we are not talking about skin care but we are going to talk about some beauty tools that I received from Silanty Beauty via amazon. They sent me their beauty blender and konjac sponge at a discounted rate to review and share with you all. I have never had or used a konjac sponge so when I received it I didn't know what to think of it because it was very hard. The beauty blender looked very similar to the real authentic beauty blender. The real question is was it going to perform as well as the beauty blender.
So the test began. I did squeeze the blender and it was soft but didn't squish down like the original beauty blender so then I decided to wet the one from Silanty. I was very surprised about how well it worked. It did a great job of blending out my highlighted areas. The only thing I didn't like was the tip of the blender was not as pointy as the original beauty blender to get under the eyes or in corner part as well as the original beauty blender. It was not hard like some other sponges that I tried at all. Which was nice to see it performed well. If it had been hard it would have been in the garbage. This sponge is definitely a keeper. I have gotten so much use out of it.

My next test was of the Konjac sponge. I have seen these online before but had never used one much less had one of my own until now. Like I said in the beginning when I got it I wasn't sure what to do with it. It was hard like a pumice stone in my opinion. It came with a small little plastic suction cup hook for me to hang it in my shower so I did. I decided to use it in the shower to wash my face with it. I got it wet and it softened up after getting it really saturated. It did a great job of cleaning my face. It was different from using my rotating brush because of course it is electronic and this sponge requires me to do the work to clean my face. It was not abrasive to my face at all. Now would I say this a sponge you need, or need to have. No not really. I didn't find anything special about this sponge. It was an alternative to using a spinning brush to clean your face (clarisonic or any other type like the clarisonic). It comes with the blending sponge so why not use. My ultimate thought is that is should be sold separately from the blending sponge as a option. The set is great together but I felt like I got more use out of the makeup blender than I did this konjac sponge.
The set was $18.99. I did get it for a discounted price as stated in the beginning. Would I buy it again. Honestly no. If they sold the makeup blender by itself I would definitely purchase another one of even two. I would even purchase if they sold it in a two pack or offered a mini size one.
My overall opinions of this set were I didn't have to many complaints about this set. I got a lot of use out of it and I am still using it. If you are interested in trying out the konjac sponge and want the added bonus of getting a blending sponge check out this set on amazon and purchase from this seller. If you have prime then you know you get free two day shipping and can be on your way to #perfectskinin2steps.
