Description: This is Mac's first Pro Performance Sponge A high performance, ergonomically designed latex free sponge with a pointed tip that allows you to apply and blend makeup in even the hardest-to-reach areas of the face.

My Thoughts and Reviews: I have been eye balling this little beauty for a minute at my counter and finally it has a new home in my personal makeup kit :). So move over M.A.C #187 theres a new beauty tool in town thats taking over the M.A.C Pro Performance Sponge. Alot people are trying to compare it to the Beauty Blender and the Sonia Kashuk beauty blender. I dont own the Beauty Blender but I do own the Sonia Kashuk beauty blender. And in my personal/professional opinion and experience they are not alike and they both perform differently.

For me I find that the best way to use the Performance Sponge in my opinion is wet/damp. Before applying my foundation of choice I spray the sponge a few times with Fix + spray. I find using this method works better and makes the application process more flawless with a airbrush like finish . However, I do not like to use this sponge with cream products or anything heavy in a cream like form only liquid foundations and concealers. For heavy cream products I prefer to use my Alcon cosmetic sponge on myself or clients. I also notice that now I have to use 1 1/2 pumps of my liquid foundation when using this sponge. Which is fine because i love the over all performance and results it delivers when using my Studio Fix Fluid (a full coverage foundation) it looks as if I hardly have any foundation on my skin so you know this is a 5 star for me.....

Overall: This baby is a "WINNER" I do plan to repurchase at lease two more for my kit. And yes I recommend this pretty girl shes a must have hands down. Until next time my lovelies happy shopping!

My 1st Blog Haul

Yesterday hubby and I took the kiddos to SixFlag for the Miguel concert (this guy is amazing) but anywho. So in route I went to the Mac Pro to replenish a couple of things for my kit and for myself. At first i was so excited what girl isn't when shes out shopping! But soon after spending almost a 1hr there as the mua got to the bottom of my list its seems like everything was sold out (side eye) really Mac Pro the Pro Performance Sponge, Lady Danger ls, fuchisa and orange lipmix, pink opal pigment, Mac Clear Trio ughhhh and then Devil blush.... I have gone to this store for the 3rd time and every time this freakin blush and sponge is always sold out im ordering online tomorrow i give up. But for the most part i was able to get some much need stuff as you can see but I was happier at check out when one of the mua found a Pro Performance Sponge in the back :-P. My favs are the chromagraphic pencils, clear gloss (you can do so much with this), the lipmix and the Pro Performance Sponge reviews coming soon I promise meantime Stay Pretty!!!
