Beauty Blender & Beauty Blender Micro Mini

Hey guys!!!

As some of you know I was loving my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and it was holy grail status. I will still use it for whenever I don't have this next product, but this product is actually a little better than the Real Techniques one. I know I barely hauled this last month in my IMATS Haul, but I was really excited to talk about it.


I had been wanting to try out the Beauty Blender for so long, but I wouldn't pay around $20 for a sponge when I could just buy the Real Techniques one for around $6. I also didn't find the Beauty Blender Micro Minis necessary when you can use the regular beauty blender for the exact same thing, but I was impressed with it.

As most of you know you need to run these under water and squeeze out the excess water before you use them. They will double in size once you do that. It is supposed to absorb less product and help you use less product as well.

The beauty blender practically gives the same finish to your skin as the Real Techniques sponge, but it is better for two reason. I noticed that the beauty blender does not soak up as much product and it blends your foundation a little bit better than the other sponge. 

The beauty blender micro mini really impressed me. I had already used the original beauty blender to blend my concealer and it was good, but when I used the micro mini the next day I LOVED the way it blended out my concealer and you are able to get into the hard to reach areas with this much easier. It blended it out better than the original.

Overall these two are now my new holy grail makeup sponges. I will definitely be repurchasing these once they get yucky and old, but if I don't feel like spending the money I will continue using the Real Techniques one. For the most part I will be using these two to be honest.

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
