ESPRIQUE Éclat Powder Foundation Sponge, 1

I used to use a sponge from a 100 yen shop, but I switched back to this one, and it's definitely different. It's fluffy and blends seamlessly into my skin without irritating it. I'll continue to use this sponge!

I use Esprique foundation and wanted another one as a backup, so I bought this. I don't think it feels bad on the skin.

Hmm, it's thicker than other companies' products and difficult to store in the case. Maybe it's because I put it in Prima's (lol). Kanebo's is thin though... I think Shiseido's is the best for me. Depending on the thickness and size, it's hard to hold and the way it wears out varies... Hmm, even something like a sponge is difficult! Oh, other companies' products are around 500 yen, but this one is only 400 yen. I'll think about buying it again (lol).

I bought this as a spare puff when I bought the Esprique Synchro Fit Pact. The Maquillage puff I wanted was out of stock, so I chose this one, which seemed softer. It's much thicker and softer than the Synchro Fit puff, so it holds the powder better. I already have a favorite puff, so I'm not sure if I'll buy it again, but I have a good impression of it.

I actually think this is a hidden gem from KOSE. It's about 1.5 times thicker than other sponges, but it feels fluffy and super comfortable to apply. I love this Eclat sponge so much that I even use it when applying foundation from other brands. I always keep it in stock because I feel uneasy without it.
