Suesh Silisponge / Silicone Sponge Review

I saw this sponge in Suesh's Instagram post and quickly got intrigued by it. After scouring the Internet, I found out that this product took up the storm some time around the last quarter of 2016. See this post from more.com to see some reviews of the silisponge / silicone sponge from mostly-viewed makeup bloggers online. I also found this post and this video from Ms. Martha of The Beauty Junkee.

The silisponge/ silicone sponge from Suesh costs only Php80. It is packaged in a small ziplock bag.

It feels like a nipple tape hehehe. I tried it with The Face Shop Photo Blur BB Cream.

Suesh Silicone Sponge

What I like:

• It does help you save on your BB cream or liquid foundation. It does not absorb them, so you get most of your pea-size amount.
• It helps set BB cream or liquid foundation without caking, given that you only use a small amount.
• It is a breeze to clean. I think you can let your friends try this out, given that you clean it first. :D
• Affordable.

What I don't like:

• If you generally use more of your BB cream or liquid foundation, it may cake and can be quite a challenge to set.
• It doesn't seamlessly fit to the corners of your face, such as the sides of the nose and inner corners of your eyes.

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Suesh Silisponge / Silicone Sponge Overall

The one that I got from Suesh has a distinct plastic smell. Maybe because it's silicone(?) Overall, I may repurchase when its lining rips but from the looks of it, it would last a long way.

Check out Suesh's Instagram or visit their website to get a hold of their affordable Sili Sponge and other makeup tools.

Weekend (s)Trip!

Hi guise!

How's your weekend?  I spent my weekend stripping my face off with these three different pore strips. These are my to-go pore strip products, which are effective and very affordable. My favorite is The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip, which is really good in extracting those icky blackhead and whiteheads off your nose. Hope you had a great weekend!

Blog Goals :D

Oisashiburi minna! It's been a long time, isn't it? Well, it's too late to greet you guys a Happy New Year, in Gregorian or in Lunar time. I have been "pre-occupied" by work at the end of last year and at the start of the year. You don't want to know how I am slaving right now LMAO.

There's a lot of catching up for me to do!

Looking back through my mundane wishlist, it seemed that I have only crashed out only a third of one of the items. I got the first volume of the Tiny Book Series. I think I can stop at that and if I will be blessed more, I hope I can find the other two. Seriously, I'm fine with just having one. :)

I've been controlling myself also with impulse book buying. I've cleaned the room that I'm staying in and I've found that there are still a lot of unread books. I've bought two last year. I bought Dan Brown's Angel and Demons -  a re-read and Mineko Iwasaki's memoir, Geisha, A Life - a new one. I want to read this in comparison to Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha, which have been regarded by many, including Iwasaki, as some of a faux because it's written by a man and a foreigner.

Well, I don't want to delve in deeper to that. I just want to say that I don't really have a strong book quest feel as of late. I've been quite unlucky in search of the Earthsea series. And here I am... I found one good for the quest! See my updated list. Haha.

I think I'm going to crash out another one from the list. I think I can live without it... or them. As I've mentioned, it's just a mundane list. XD

As for sharing to you my findings, I have a lot on my plate. It would be really unfair if I list what I want to write about and don't write about it, right? I'm amazed how other bloggers can keep up with their upcoming reviews. Personally, though, I'm restricted with that kind of setup. I want to share what I have really tried and used. Plus, I'm on the writing business, beating up technical jargon and deadlines. I want my findings or reviews, free flowing and natural. In short, I have a lot to write about! XD

I'm kind of getting ecstatic this year. I have to step my organization skills up a notch and keep up. <<< I guess that's my blog goal, right there!

(flex) :D
