Well, hello there!
This week we will be taking a trip to the past. Yes, the items I am going to review today were bought near Christmas - yes, one of them is a Christmas-themed product and it's July now. This is how things go sometimes, okay? Consider this a Christmas in July, if you will.

Also, don't mind the Bulbasaur PEZ dispenser - I am a huge Pokémon fan and when I saw these dispensers, I knew I had to buy all 4 eventually, starting with #0001 itself: Bulbasaur! Don't worry - I collected the remaining 3 since then (Charmander, Squirtle and that annoying rat, 025/Pikachu).
I also got myself a really pretty canvas tote for shopping, with a bullfinch on it! I vastly prefer to use canvas totes to plastic bags; they are more robust, comfier to hold and, of course, much, MUCH better for our poor planet that is suffocating in plastics. Plus - if it gets damaged, I can just patch it up!
But now, the two products for today; as you can see, both are makeup sponges. When these two were bought, I was still predominantly using foundation brushes, which has changed since then. Nowadays, I actually prefer sponges because they are most of the time simpler to use. But back then, I was still experimenting with sponges, trying to see if I could get good results with them. Ergo, these two sponges!

| The entire It Pieces Even Better LE Source: www.catrice.eu |
The Catrice sponge was part of a limited edition called It Pieces Even Better, which was a tiny LE launched at the start of 2022. It contained just 4 products: two brushes, a makeup sponge and a face cleansing bar. I ended up getting everything bar the face cleansing bar in the end, and this sponge was the final piece that I wanted. Tbh, this LE wasn't good. The quality was really not 'it'. But I thought "might as well try out the sponge to see if it is just as bad as the brushes". Besides, it was 50% off! I have no idea from where DM got this sponge at the end of the year... must have been buried somewhere!

The second item is this set of makeup sponges from Ebelin. A Christmas set! I saw this on the German DM webshop and I knew I needed to buy this as soon as it arrived here; it's so adorable! A cardboard box that makes the sponges look like a reindeer? How perfectly Christmassy! But there was also another variant, that makes the sponges look more like a fallow deer. I like the reindeer one more. The two smaller sponges are practically tiny, but you do also get one 'normal' sized sponge. This makes for a great Christmas gift - and it seems to return year after year to DM!
Here are the two reviews for today:
See you soon!
