The Original Beautyblender

I was wary about spending this much money on a sponge and I put it off for a long time. I finally took the plunge and I'm so glad I did, it has changed the way I do my makeup completely. It gives such a nice full coverage and I find I don't waste nearly as much product. It pushes the product into your skin rather than swirling it around your face. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it for under-eye concealer - it's such a better finish than any brush I've ever used and the shape of it gets right into the corners. It's easy to use and easy to clean. LOVE IT!

Love this to apply any foundation, deffiantly works well as i do prefer medium to full coverage but even if i want light coverage it works for that to! Will always grab for one of my beauty blenders before anything else.

Honestly, I try to tell people how amazing the beauty blender is and I always get the response of '' but it's a just a sponge. "

Hell no is not just a sponge. I use it dry for powder and wet for foundation. I have super dry skin so I prefer not to over stimulate my skin and the beauty blender is so gentle on my face. I own two and the first one has lasted me a year so far and is still going strong.

My make-up never cakes up and whenever it does I just bring my beauty blender out to fix it. Even if its in the middle of the day.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the Beauty Blender. It did it's job, it blended my makeup nicely and to be fair I did not have any patchy areas or look like I had cake-face. The thing is, I get the exact same result with any other sponge that I use; the BB didn't stand out to me at all in terms of function. So yes, it works well, but so does my Real Techniques sponge and my Klean Kolor sponge.

Honestly i dont no where i would be without my beautyblender i love it so much, it blends my makeup perfectly with no patched or streaks as well as making my skin not appear "cakey" only negative is that i need to use slightly more foundation as it absorbs it being a sponge

I have the real techiques (RT) sponge, and wanted to see if this was really worth 2.5 times the price (as I already loved my RT one!)

This has a more squishy texture than the RT. This means that when you bounce it across the surface of your skin to blend out foundation, that it covers more surface area at a time (because of its compressibility). More surface area = job done a lot quicker. This also soaks up less product than my RT one thereby saving me money on foundation. Finally, this is less "wet" when dampened than my RT sponge. This means that it wont sheer your makeup out excessively and is also more hygienic as the sponge will dry quicker when washed.

Although I do absolutely think this is an improvement on the RT one, I think that I would be just as happy paying a lot less; being that the original beautyblender has only small improvements over the RT one. I think if money is no question- this is your guy. But, if like me you are on a beauty budget, then the RT one is more than sufficient.

Seeing the price definitely put me off for a long time but after everyone kept raving about it I had to get one......... and I have never looked back l!!!! Makes your foundation glide on, you can get concealer right into those little corners. It's a godsend or people who have struggled to perfect there foundation.

This was so expensive I was like expecting this to be amazing and it was. I love this and when I use liquid foundation and contour I need this. It helps so much and it's so much better than brushes and like does it so well. I clean it after everytime and I love the bright colour! The tip helps so much and getting that straight line for your liner is so easy like wow I need 10 of these things
