My Thoughts & Review
My first time to try a makeup sponge and I honestly love it! These giant and baby meringue puffs are too cute and looks yummy to eat. I find that the giant meringue puff is perfect for base application and the baby meringue puff is perfect for small areas application such as applying concealers. As a first time user I find it easy to use and makes my makeup base easy to blend and applies evenly than my usual finger tips blending. It's tip is very helpful to reach those hard to reach areas such as side of the nose and under eye area. The puff feels very soft when dry and even became softer and moist when used wet. Just be careful when cleaning this puff because it can be tear-off by sharp nails.
Overall, I really love this makeup blender and because it's very affordable I will surely repurchase these product. I think this product is suitable for makeup beginners like me, I highly recommend it!

My Thoughts & Review
This one does smell like watermelon but kind of artificial scent. I was really hoping to smell a hint of lavender but it doesn't have that scent, however I still feel relaxed with this mask to the point that I fell asleep while wearing this mask on. It made my skin feel so soft, hydrated and moisturized. It also made my skin bright and glowing makes this mask my favorite too. It is less tacky than the four variants and my skin feels silky. I am impressed, and I highly recommend it!
Overall, I love the cooling effect of these fruit masks, made me feels refreshed this humid, hot season. The masks still feels juicy after 20 minutes of using it, and I was able to use the remaining essence on my neck area. These masks does what it claims and gives more than what you pay for. As I mentioned before my favorites are the watermelon and lemon lime and I will surely purchased those masks.
You can pick the mask according to your skin's need or just pick them all, after all they are so affordable. No wonder these masks got easily out of stock because it is really good and it's so cheap that only cost $0.50.
