Beauty Pick of the Month – June 2014

Every month I pick my favourite product which I received from one of my Beauty Subscription boxes.

This month my favourite without no doubt was the iconic Beautyblender which I received in my Birchbox and definitely deserves to be in the spotlight this month. This literally was a savior for me and my MAC foundation which nearly got disposed of until discovering this unique and effective tool.

I currently own a Beautyblender however it’s seen better days so welcomed this new one.  A few months ago I was having trouble applying a high coverage MAC foundation which looked wonderful and easy to apply when tried in the MAC store however it was a different story when I got home. I tried various brushes and sponges and it looked so cakey every time.  Eventually I gave up and it became a dormant product which just sat on the shelf. Then came  along the Beauty Blender a sponge created without edges in order to eliminate visible lines and streaks. It’s unique shape has so many uses. I really can’t recommend it enough. It leaves my foundation looking flawless and smooth unlike any other beauty tool.

I use the pointed side for hard-to-reach spots like around the nose, mouth, and under the eyes and the rounded base for foundation on the larger areas of my face such as my forehead, cheeks and chin. You can also use the pointed side to apply concealer too which I usually do.

This also came with a soap cleanser. This cleanser is a travel friendly alternative to the original liquid blender cleanser and provides the same cleansing results and soothing lavender fragrance.

This is a must-have item in everyone’s make up bag. You will never revert back to brushes and sponges after using this product. This has certainly become one of my staple products which I simply can’t live without.

This can be purchased from the Birchbox website here and the prices range from £16.00 onwards for the Beautyblender.

You can also earn reward points on all of your purchases at the Birchbox shop and redeem these points on any of their products online.
