Bellissima: beautyblender

Live and direct from Hollywood comes beautyblender Sponge and Cleanser, $34.95. This revolutionary makeup tool was created by behind the scenes glamour queens Rea Ann Silva and Veronica Lorenz. Both women are makeup artists who have spent countless hours beautifying A-list faces.

The sponge was developed without edges in order to eliminate visible lines and streaks from foundation. It has an elliptical shape that allows for foolproof application.

To use, wet the sponge (it doubles in size) and then bounce it (normally called stippling) against your face using the rounded side. This technique allows the foundation to blend into your skin without creating creases, lines or changing the texture of your skin. Use the pointy side for the nose, mouth, under the eyes and to cover up blemishes.

It has a suede-like texture which is latex free, non-allergenic and odor free. It is soft and it curves to the contours of your face, leaving your makeup looking virtually undetectable.

It was also developed with a cleanser. This soy based, lavender-scented gentle facial cleanser is free of dyes and skin irritants. It is intended to both clean, soothe and moisturize your skin. Apply a dime-sized amount to the clean sponge, work into a lather and then rinse. I love the bottle, the smell....and the fact that the sponge is hot pink!
