Product Review:
A “million dollar idea”, that sums up this review.
This is a product you
wished you invented and one you NEED by your side at all times. I had seen this on Instagram a few months ago
and coveted it instantly. As fate would have it Vera Mona was listed to attend
the NYC IMATS so I made sure to pick up mine. When it was my turn to make my
purchase at their booth the sales associate was extremely friendly and
demonstrated how this magical wonder worked. Out popped a generic silver tin,
off came the lid, and held inside an open cell sponge woven into what seem like a
million small net-like layers.
With a simple back and forth swiping motion of any used
brush it effortlessly will come clean. Of course I would not try cleaning any
brushes that had liquid products on them so keep that in mind. As for any
powders specifically eye shadows swapping to any color makes that task super
easy! In the center of the black sponge
is a second white sponge which is the “duo’ portion. This is meant to be
dampened so you can then take a dry eye shadow and make it “wet” by dipping the
brush into it before any loose eye shadow or color pigment.
When it comes to switching colors this nifty tool has so far
beat any wipe or cleaner with no wait time to dry. As the dirty bristles come
into contact with the sponge and are agitated back and forth you can see a
little cloud rising to makeup heaven, oh we will miss you colorful particles! To
put this to a true test I used a navy blue shadow with shimmer and switched to
a white matte shadow. All the claims made came true leaving me speechless. There
was no trace of either navy or shimmer in the white matte shadow after
application. Truly remarkable! Nothing could be better…well perhaps other
colors and a pink tin.
