STYLPRO Squeeze Makeup Sponge Cleaner

The Stylpro Brush Cleaner is one of my most used gadgets and I love it. Gone is that never ending chore of cleaning makeup brushes and leaving them to dry all over the house on various old towels.  Imagine, that that same kind of invention was created to clean your beauty blenders! Oh well here it is!
STYLPRO Squeeze Makeup Sponge Cleaner
The Squeeze Makeup Sponge Cleaner is an originally invented device, by the one and only Tom Pellereau aka Inventor Tom, who has only gone and designed this device to clean makeup sponges in 1 minute and leave them ready to use instantly - absolute genius!
The STYLPRO Squeeze Makeup Sponge Cleaner deep cleans your sponges in 1 minute, squeezing and spinning them until they sparkle.
The Squeeze uses a combination of our specially made sponge cleanser and recently boiled water to clean your sponges of bacteria, makeup and dirt, leaving them ready to use instantly.
I use a beauty blender, makeup sponge whatever you prefer to call them all the time and for me, there has only been so many times you can 'clean' them before they look too grubby to even contemplate using, but now I can get a bit more use out of my beloved blenders before they are consigned to beauty blender heaven.

I was lucky enough to watch Tom demonstrate how to use the STYLPRO Squeeze during a live demonstration, whilst blindfolded and whilst it was one of the funniest things I have watched on Zoom in a long time, it was also amazing to see just how simple it is to use.

How to use
  • Dampen sponge and place in ‘bowl’. Soak your dirty makeup sponge in 20ml of ‘sponge sparkle’
  • For best results massage cleanser in using the ‘press’.
  • Carefully fill the ‘bowl’ to the fill line, with recently boiled water.
  • Push the button on the ‘press’, pull the handle up and lock the ‘press’ open.
  • Using the open ‘press’ knead the makeup sponge a few times against the ‘bowl’ base.
  • For best results wait 60 seconds. Scoop up makeup sponge, push the button on the ‘press’ and carefully squeeze it closed.
  • Attach the ‘pebble’ and spin your sponge to its former glory. Depending on how long ago you cleaned your sponge you may need to repeat this process!
I am really impressed that the STYLPRO squeeze comes with everything you need, there is no extra bits you need to buy, you know how annoying it is when you buy your niece or nephew a toy, only to find out it comes with extras and you haven't ordered them, well not with this.

Inside the box you get:
  • The main Press device
  • The Pebble spinning device and batteries
  • The Bowl
  • 85ml of Sponge Sparkle Vegan Certified Cleanser
Without question, I absolutely love this gadget, there actually isn't anything that Tom has invented so far that I haven't loved. In recent months I have shared the STYLPRO Glow & Go Mirror and the Luxury Makeup Brush Collection.

The STYLPRO Squeeze Makeup Sponge Cleaner usually retails around £39.99 but if youre quick, ASOS are selling it for just £30 and it is worth every single penny!

The Body Shop Gift Sets £40+

In the final part of my Gift Guide series with The Body Shop, I am sharing those gift sets which are at the higher end of the budget, ranging between £40 and £50, but those gifts I have are incredible value for money.
The Body Shop Gift Sets £40+
In todays post, I am going to share some of those amazing gift sets across a range of budgets.

The first gift set is one that would be perfect for absolutely anyone and it is the Floral's & Frost White Musk Big Gift (£40). White Musk as a fragrance was relaunched earlier this year and I am delighted to see it has a gift set.
The Body Shop Gift Sets £40+
The White Musk Fragrance collection is infused with notes of cruelty-free musk, rose, jasmine, amber and wood and it smells just so refreshingly floral and musky all at the same time.  Inside this gift collection you are treated to four products which includes:
  • White Musk® Shower Gel 250ml - As soon as this shower gel comes into contact with warm water, the lather is as intense as that fragrance and on the skin, the silky smooth texture of the gel lightly scents the skin.
  • White Musk® Body Lotion 250ml - When it comes to layering your fragrances using a body lotion helps to intensify the scent.  This body lotion, which is silky smooth to the touch, hosts that same fragrance the shower gel offers and it is enriched with Shea butter to ensure your skin is hydrated and moisturised.
  • White Musk® Eau de Toilette 60ml - Originally developed back in 1981, this fragrance was re-launched with some toppers and now sits firmly in the vegan category, all without changing that original scent too much. Described as being floral, sensual and clean with a bit of sweetness,there are notes of aldehydes, jasmine and musk.
  • White Musk® Perfume Oil Roll On 10ml - As with the fragrance above, this roll-on version is perfect for carrying with you on the go.
As you can see, this gift collection would be perfect for anyone who is a fan of the White Musk fragrance and if you have ever wondered what the scent is like, then this is the collection for you.

You can find the Floral's & Frost White Musk Big Gift set right here.

Moving to skin next with the Skincare & Chill CDB Skincare Set (£40) and it is just the tonic for anyone who has stressed out skin.
The Body Shop Gift Sets £40+
Inside this skincare collection you will find two products which are not only vegan, but one which is made with natural-origin CBD and hemp seed oil. Stressed out skin to The Body Shop is something that they classify as skin that is or does experience discomfort from dehydration, dryness, loss in luminosity and an decline on skin's overall appearance.  

Those two products are:
  • CBD Hemp Restoring Facial Oil 30ml - This oil is enriched with natural origin CBD and hemp seed oil alongside Squalene and patchouli extract to create a non-greasy formula which helps to restore your skin’s moisture levels and relieve the discomfort of dehydrated skin. What I like about this oil is how quickly it absorbs into the skin and leaves mine feeling soft and smooth to the touch.
  • CBD Hemp Moisturiser 50ml - Enriched with the same ingredients as the oil, this moisturiser helps to restore the skins moisture level as well as soothe and de-stress the skin.
If you have been or still are curious about CBD skincare, then The Body Shop has been as good a place as any to try some products to see how they react and interact with my skin.

You can find the Skincare & Chill CDB Skincare Set right here.

To finish off my gift guide series we have a set called the Nutty & Nourishing Shea Ultimate Gift (£50).  
The Body Shop Gift Sets £40+
This collection is absolutely huge as it features a total of 7 products from the Shea range and is the ultimate pampering experience from The Body Shop.
  • Shea Shower Cream 250ml - Vegan certified, this shower cream is exactly what it says it is. Made with Community Fairtrade Shea Butter, I absolutely love the warming nutty scent that this cream imparts. Suitable for all skin types, it forms a really good lather and leaves your skin soft and smooth.
  • Shea Body Scrub 250ml - With its sugary nutty texture, this scrub works to slough away dead skin cells, leaving your skin supremely smooth.
  • Shea Body Butter 200ml - Intensely creamy and luxurious on the skin, this body butter is also enriched with Shea Butter and with it we have Babassu Oil which is an emollient oil high in fatty acids and vitamin E, so perfect for nourishing and moisturising the skin.
  • Shea Hand Cream 20ml - Never one to leave the hands to suffer, this hand cream is perfect for those hands that need a little extra TLC. Infused with Shea butter, you again have that nutty scent and it absorbs quickly with no trace left behind,
  • Shea Intense Repair Shampoo 250ml - Designed for hair which is described as being dry to very dry and prone to breakage, this shampoo features Shea butter and the Vegan Silk Protein I've mentioned in previous posts. 
  • Shea Intense Repair Conditioner 250ml - The perfect partner to the shampoo above, this conditioner helps strengthen hair and reduce breakage as well as to replenish dry locks with moisture so they feel healthier, intensely nourished and more manageable. Excitingly there is a hair mask coming soon for this range.
  • Shea Hand Wash 275ml - This wash has conditioning properties which are said to leave the hands feeling clean and soft with a subtle scent of Shea butter.
This is one incredibly gift collection that anyone would be lucky to find under their tree and I am so impressed that there is so much included and all full size too!

You can find the Nutty & Nourishing Shea Ultimate Gift right here.

So there was my final gift collection from The Body Shop and if you haven't seen what else is on offer, you can find the Hand & Body Gift Sets, Bath time Gifts and Skincare Gifts all live on my blog if you are in need of some inspiration.
