Smoothie Blenders...

Hi, I was recommended the Silly Farm Smoothie Blender for use with Mehron Starblend and told that there's not much point bothering with any other type of Smoothie Blenders. Unfortunately Silly Farm charges $45.50 shipping to the UK, even for just the one item so that's out of the question for me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Smoothie Blender's with slightly more reasonable shipping charges?

Thanks, Bekah

Ps, Hi, I'm new to the forum, hope I don't bug you too much...

I use make up compact pads... they work beautifully. Like shown in this site

I dont know if there is a Micheals craft store where you are but i bought some from there.

I find the lollipop blenders at Amerikan Body Art, I think that may be where you mean Denise? We were lamenting that they sent you square ones a couple of months ago, but they had the round ones in stock the last time I ordered...Silly farm pushes the smothie blenders. I have never had any luck with them, they fall appart and cost way too much for that! Love the lollipops, and I have a velvet texture type cosmetic powder puff in each one of my star blends, which you can find at beaty suplies pretty cheep (I bet in the UK too?) I use the lollipops for my other poweders, Ben Nye and mica poweders. Love them, and the price is really right! They come like 10 to a pack, or something like that.

Ah, I need to learn to read! I saw silly farm, not snazaroo! my bad. I think that the lollipops are much more durable than the smoothie blenders!

Thanks so much everyone!
The powder puff type things are an amazing idea, inexpensive and easy to replace and I'll have a look around for the Snazaroo lollypops. There's a small theatrical supplies store in my town that stocks Snazaroo, they generally have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask for things (ie. bald caps, liquid latex, etc) but it's worth a try before I look online.

I knew there was a good reason for joining this forum!

Suzy!!!! My smoothies are dieing & I hate replacing them. I'm so going to get some of those makeup sponges from Walmart! Thank you for the tip!!!

I have had the plastic end come through the pad on all my smoothie blenders, I tried the paradise blenders too, same thing.

I bought one just to use with the stencils and at the first try it has a hole in the middle, I only use it with white and looks so dirty, I don't like it at all and I don't recommended + I think they are quite expensive for the use.

Just saw them on coastalscents.com super cheap...

Sorry, what is this lollipop? Can someone post a link, please? Thanks!
