Pink Haired Princess

When it comes to applying foundation, I'm strictly a fingers girl. I get quite irritated when people proclaim that it's unhygienic and for that reason, they prefer a brush or sponge. How often do you wash your hands compared to make-up tools? I would certainly never allow my hands near my face without washing them first, plus I think the warmth of your hands can help with the blending process. However, I was sent the Blend Perfection Sponge by Cosmopolitan to try out and although it's perhaps not the most glamorous tool to review, I'm raving about it, so am keen to let you all know how I got on.

I was recently sent the Perfect Finish Powder Brush to review from the Cosmopolitan range. Although I was aware of the brands products, I hadn't tried any before.

It does reseal though which is good if you are carrying it in your handbag. It's got a nice weight to it, not too heavy or too light and a full head of natural hair. Upon use, I haven't experienced a single bit of shedding (although I would expect some when it comes to cleaning it perhaps). I used it with both loose and pressed powder and it doesn't pick up too much product like some brushes...
