JUNO Microfiber Velvet Sponge Review

JUNO & Co is a beauty brand that created innovative products at ridiculously affordable prices! Their JUNO Microfiber Velvet Sponge is only $6 and can be used wet or dry.

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

The JUNO Microfiber Velvet Sponge has sold over 150,000 units in just three months. It flawlessly blends foundations and powders and saves product and application time as a hybrid brush and sponge combo.

My favorite thing about this sponge is the shape. It has a flat bottom so it won't roll all around your counter, plus the teardrop head makes it easy to blend makeup.

The sponge is made with soft antimicrobial microfibers.

The sponge is a little denser than ones I have used in the past. I usually prefer one that is lighter, but for only $6, the sponge is still a great deal. I usually use sponges like this wet to apply liquid foundation, but you can also use it dry with loose powders like blush and highlighters or a powder foundation.

Given that the sponge is dense, it applied my liquid foundation really well. It also won't absorb a lot of the product, so you won't waste your (possibly expensive) makeup. It applied my liquid makeup evenly and with great coverage. I used the flat side (the side facing up in the photo above) to apply the makeup directly, then I used the rounded opposite side to blend it. Just bounce the sponge over your skin to apply and blend.

The sponge also worked decently enough to apply powders, but I felt that it absorbed a bit more of the product dry than when used wet with liquid foundation. It didn't deposit as much product on my skin as I would like, so I will most likely use this sponge wet going forward.

The sponge was easy to clean, too. Just run it under warm water and use a gentle soap to wash off any residue. I prefer to use bar soaps with sponges like these and rub them against the soap to get any extra makeup off. Then just squeeze gently and leave to dry.

Bottom Line: If you're looking for an affordable makeup sponge, the JUNO Microfiber Velvet Sponge is excellently priced at only $6. It worked really well with my liquid foundation and it's easy to clean.

Mehron Makeup: New Launches!

Mehron Makeup has been a leader in the professional makeup world for over 90 years. Their products are used on the runway, stage, and movie sets all over. Their makeup is now available to everyone looking for superior performance, and I have some of their new launches to share with you!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Mehron has a huge line of products, with everything from performance makeup for special effects and face and body painting to every day eyeshadows and contouring kits.

All of the products I tried had great pigmentation and staying power. You'll be able to create a lot of different looks with these palettes and singles!

The Skin Prep Pro is a clear, fragrance-free toner appropriate for all skin types. It acts as a moisture barrier between the skin and makeup and helps makeup last longer under stressful conditions. It's a thin liquid and the bottle has a stopper for application, so I applied this with a cotton ball. It absorbed really quickly into my skin and was great extra protection for humid summer weather. The foundation I currently use has pretty good staying power already, but after adding this toner to my routine my makeup did last through an eight hour work day really well.

The Precious Gem Powder adds highly pigmented color with a dramatic sheen. I received the Peridot shade and I love it; it's a nice olive green that works well with the browns and golds that I like to wear for eyeshadow (see swatches at the end of the post). There are 19 different shades to choose from.

The Glosstone Pro lip gloss is available in six shades and I received Pink Crush. The gloss has great pigmentation and goes on smoothly with a bit of shine. The long-wearing formula has antioxidants derived from aloe vera and Vitamin E.

The E.Y.E. Powder Shimmer Palette is so gorgeous! The palette is also available in mattes, but I love the shimmers. This is the perfect mix of shades for me. All of the shadows have good pigmentation. They're a bit powdery so there is some fall out when applying with a brush, but it's nothing too bad. The shadows are also available as singles and are enriched with Vitamin E and Shea butter.

I've never used a contouring palette before, so I was excited to try the Celebré Pro-HD Cream Foundation Highlighter/Contour Palette. It has 12 of Mehron's best-selling shades that can be customized for sheer or full coverage. The creams are oil- and fragrance-free and contain antioxidants from pomegranate and Vitamin E, as well as aloe vera to soothe skin. The cream formula is great and it glides on easily. I still have to play around with it some more, but my first impressions were that the creams felt very light on my skin.

Last up is the ECHO Pressed Glitter Palette. There's a lot of glitter going on here, but I love it! This is a really fun palette made up of pressed glitters that don't require mixing with any medium or adhesive for application. The advanced hydrating formula also has Vitamin E and pomegranate extract. When I swatched these they really did stay put with no fallout, so you don't have to worry about getting glitter all over your face -- only in the places you want to apply.

E.Y.E. Shadow Shimmer Palette swatches.

I didn't swatch every shade of the contour palette, but here is what a few of the varied shades look like.

Here are the swatches for the Glosstone Pro lip gloss, Precious Gem Powder, and ECHO Pressed Glitter Palette.

Bottom Line: Mehron Makeup has a fun and affordable line of high quality makeup products, ranging from base toners to shimmery glitter palettes! All of the products I tried had excellent pigmentation with long-lasting results.

PrettyLitter Review

PrettyLitter delivers hassle-free cat litter each month that helps you keep track of your cat's health. I've heard a lot about the litter so I was very interested to try it out.

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review. Post contains affiliate links.

PrettyLitter sends a one-month supply of litter to your door every month, and the price will depend on how many cats you have in your household:

• One Cat: $21 per month for one four pound bag
• Two Cats: $39 per month for two four pound bags
• Three or More Cats: $68 per month for four bags (one bag free)

Shipping is free to the 48 contiguous for all of the subscription plans. PrettyLitter also comes with a 30 day guarantee, so if your cat does not like the litter or it otherwise is not working out for you, just contact PrettyLitter.

PrettyLitter changes colors when it detects certain abnormalities in your cat's urine, as pictured above. Anything other than a yellow to olive-green shade is considered abnormal, with a dark blue to dark green indicating high alkalinity, orange indicating abnormal acidity, and red indicating the presence of blood. The litter itself is white, as you can see in the photos, so it's really easy to notice any changes.

I have one cat, and one four pound bag is supposed to last a month. The informational card that came with the litter stated that the litter should fill two inches around the littler box, but since my cat has a large, deep box, I actually had to use about one and a half bags to fill it up to two inches in depth. If you run into a similar issue and one bag does not provide enough depth, contact PrettyLitter and they will take care of it for you.

Another important thing to note is that PrettyLitter is non-clumping. This was new to me, and I wondered why it wouldn't be clumping, since that type of litter is so much easier to clean. The PrettyLitter website states that clumping clay litter often contains bentonite, which expands upon contact with moisture, thus creating the clump when a cat urinates. After stepping out a litter box, cats will clean their paws and the leftover clay may expand within their digestive tract. So non-clumping PrettyLitter is safe and is made with naturally-occurring minerals and no added fragrance.

My cat took to the PrettyLitter right away, but if your cat doesn't like change, try mixing in 75 percent of the PrettyLitter with 25 percent of their previous litter on top to start. Obviously the feces will show up really well against the white crystals, so be sure to clean that every day! And since the urine does not clump, PrettyLitter instructs to stir the litter bottom-to-top and side-to-side to help the crystals eliminate moisture and trap odor.

Bottom Line: I think PrettyLitter is a great product and an easy way to monitor your cat's health, especially since cats are not always demonstrative when they are ill. Even though it doesn't clump, it's easy to refresh the litter by stirring it, and I didn't notice any strong odors coming from it. My cat took to it well and luckily her urine showed up as the healthy yellow color.

Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng Review

I've always liked the idea of BB cremes but I've never found one that worked that well for me. I prefer a little bit more coverage than most BB cremes offer, but the BB Creme Au Ginseng from Erborian ended up working really well for me!

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Erborian is a Korean skincare brand created by the duo of Hojung Lee, a Korean scientist, and Katalin Berenyi, a beauty globetrotter. Their exclusive formulas are developed in their laboratory in Seoul and are inspired by ancient Korean traditions.

The BB Creme is a 5-in-1 face cream with broad spectrum SPF 20 sunscreen. It's available in two shades, Clair and Doré, and I received Clair to try. Unfortunately, the two shades will obviously not fit a broad spectrum of skintones.

I like that this BB Creme has SPF. I use an SPF moisturizer every day, but the added protection is always a plus.

The creme is also enriched with ginseng and has multiple beneficial properties that are renowned in Korea. The creme helps even out and mattify skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes, refine skin texture, moisturize and plump the skin, and give a non-oily, velvety finish.

Here is my skin without any makeup and with the BB Creme on. I look miserable in the first picture because, well, no makeup! The Clair shade is a bit too light for my skin currently, but I think it will be perfect in the winter when I'm less tan. The Clair shade is more for cool undertones, while I think the Doré shade is better for warmer undertones (this is just a guess based on the swatch on the Erborian website, since I didn't sample the Doré shade).

I think the Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng gives just the right amount of coverage for me. I have redness around my cheeks that I like to cover up, and this does so without being too heavy. I appreciate the lightweight texture, especially for the humidity in summer. A little bit also goes a long way, so I think one tube would last at least six months with daily use. It applied evenly and smoothly and lasted a full eight hour work day for me (and beyond)!

Bottom Line: The Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng is a great creme for people who are looking for decent coverage without a heavy or greasy feel. Unfortunately it will not fit all skintones, but if you think either the Clair or Doré shade will work for you, I definitely recommend trying it out.
