REVIEW: San San Makeup Sponge VS Daiso Makeup Sponge

Hi Everyone!

This is my very first product review, so I am really excited and nervous at
the same time (hahaha). Every "firsts" give us these mixed feelings right? :)

Ever since I've been a makeup enthusiast, makeup brush is just the only tool I use to apply my foundation, but then, I thought, I should also be open for improvements.
Then I got curious with makeup sponge, I have read and watched so many raves about it, and how it will make your foundation application go to the next level. I then bought the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and it makes my foundation application experience like heaven!hahaha, However, it is quite expensive especially for a stay at home mom like me who has more things to be prioritized.

I have found two makeup sponges that are very affordable. The first one is from Daiso, and last week, I bought another one from San San. I thought that it would be better if I'll just do a kind of "face off" since they are the same type of product and they are both almost in the same price range. So, here is the comparison of the two products that might help you decide on which one to buy just in case you are interested to buy one for yourself.

* I used liquid foundation and cream concealer to really test the products if they can work on different texture and consistency

	San San       Makeup Sponge		Daiso Makeup Sponge
PACKAGING	It is just a plastic that you can’t re-use for storage purposes but it has a description and direction on how to use the product so it is very helpful for a beginner		You can still use the container for storage
PRICE	Php 70		Php 88
SOFTNESS	It is so hard that it will hurt your face when you apply your foundation		It is very soft
APPLICATION	It was a struggle to apply the foundation because the sponge is really hard (even if it is already damp) especially on the cheekbones. It also can’t reach the under eye area and the sides of the nose because of the sponge's curve and the edge is not pointed enough. When I apply the foundation, it somehow wears off the product. I noticed that the sponge absorbs more of the product than the amount that should have been on my face.		It is very easy to apply because it is soft and since it has a pointed edge, certain areas such as the under eye and sides of the nose are easy to reach
FINISH	The finish is flawless but you really have to be patient to achieve that, it will take a lot of time and effort		The finish is really flawless, it is even comparable with the finish when I use the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge

For me, I'll settle with the makeup sponge from Daiso, its fine with me to add 18 pesos as long as I get a better quality. I'll definitely hoard
more of this baby!

Thank you for taking time to read this, I hope it helps:)

always
