When Vice Cosmetics recently released their Endlezz G Collection, they didn’t have just undertones and skin tones in mind. They have also taken the step to including the spectrum of ages that enjoy makeup and the different lifestyles they lead. For me, the Endlezz G launch plays into the understanding that beauty is for all no matter what your reality, hobbies, and physique may be because beauty is whatever form and function you want it to be.

With over 2.39 million YouTube subscribers and nearly 1 million Instagram followers, Michelle Dy is one of the biggest online local personalities around. I figured it was only a matter of time before she released her own beauty product, so I wasn’t surprised when she announced her makeup brush collaboration with Beauty Sensation!

Beauty Sensations x Michelle Dy Basics features two brush sets in pastel-colored pouches bearing Michelle’s embossed signature as well as a duo of makeup blending sponges. The kits are available in Watsons, and online via Lazada and Shopee.

When YouTube star Anna Cay messaged me about sending over her new sponges, I was pretty excited. I got to work with her on a project before and really appreciated how detail-intensive she can be! I also gathered that she really cares about her subscribers and customers, so I knew that she wouldn’t release a sub-par product just to have something to sell. True enough, the All Covered by Anna Cay Air Blender Sponge (P288) did not disappoint and has become my go-to sponge pretty much ever since I got it.

Makeup sponges are some of the most universally recognized tools in beauty. Remember your first foray into makeup? Did you immediately go hunting for a brush, or were you first acquainted with the humble sponge applicator of your powder foundation compact? Mine was the latter, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this!

What is the secret to creating a flawless face base? Does it depend on the foundation formula? Is it the little tricks and techniques that make all the difference? Or will your application tools be the deciding factor? It's all of the above! This is why keeping ourselves updated with the latest developments can bring us closer to foundation perfection.

Thanks to its ability to create a skin-like finish while providing ample coverage, the Beauty Blender has remained a constant favorite among both beauty enthusiasts and professional makeup artists.
