The Original Beautyblender

I've used this product for years now and I honestly can't remember life without it. I love it so much and don't know how I got on doing my makeup before it existed.

It applies my foundation, BB creams and concealers on so perfect and flawlessly that I just don't have faith in anything else to get the job done quite like this little sponge.

Ever since changing over to the Beautyblender my make up has never looked so good. I cannot say enough amazing things about it and I will be super sad if this product ever stops getting made.

I have tried other brands versions of the beautyblender but I find they cannot even compare. This really is a miracle sponge and for some reason it gives me the most perfect complexion every time I use it. I find I even go through my foundations and BB creams a lot slower as I'm not using as much product. I use to go through my face products within 3 months but since using the Beautyblender my BB creams have lasted years.

I love it and think this is the one product that every girl needs in her collection.

Miracle worker!!

The Original Beauty Blender was raved about for such a long time before i dived in, i was hesitant to spend $38 on a sponge! i had always been a brush kind of gal but something about this made me curious. This sponge gives of the most amazing finish i have ever seen! I like to pair it with any foundation and it adds so much more moisture and radiance to my foundation and gives me such a skin-like finish! It is great to sheer out a heavier foundation and great for layering! this product in my opinion is faultless and definitely worth purchasing! I will forever repurchase <3

The Original Beautyblender

It took me a long time to want to spend $38 on a sponge I had tried the cheapie ones and thought they're good but I bet the BB isn't any better so I finally took the plunge and my word I never would have thought this little pink sponge would completely change the look of my foundation.

My first thought was wow this is small but once its under the tap it expands to double the dry size. Applying my foundation with the sponge damp pointy end dabbing and the flat end to blend out is the most luxurious feeling ever it is so soft, bouncy and blends my foundation perfectly every time, With the most flawless finish.

I also purchased the blender cleanser solid cleaning bar with the sponge which I use to clean it with every couple of days and it takes it back to new every time. Also before I clean to get the bacteria out I pop the BB in the microwave in a bowl with a little bit of water for a 30 seconds as I learnt from the amazing Tati on Youtube just to keep it fully clean works great.

Photoshop Anyone?

If you want your skin to look super duper flawless, use this sponge. I find it works well with my liquid and creme foundations and gives the skin the most awesome coverage. It can sheer out thicker, higher coverage foundations (but for me I like that!) so be wary of that.

Tips: I use dishwashing liquid to clean my sponge, make sure you soak it really well and follow with your normal brush cleaner to make sure it's cleaned really well :)

My favourite way to apply my foundation

I love this sponge SO, SO much. It applies my foundation flawlessly. You simply squeeze it under water (which is the only reason I marked it down - Super inconvenient) and then bounce the foundation over your face. It helps to pick up any excess product if you're a little heavy handed. I can't fault the sponge in it's application. I bought the Beauty Blender solid cleaner along with it and HIGHLY recommend that as well. When I have to put it under water, I wash it then and there before I use it so I'm only going to the bathroom once.

Tips: Wash the sponge before your makeup application!

I love this product. Makes my foundation go on flawlessly and creates a more dewy looking finish. Although its a bit hard to clean it is really nice. Just worried about bacteria and germys getting to it.

My Holy Grail Product

A friend of mine first told me about the Beauty Blender and told me that I absolutely had to get it and I am so glad I did. Although it can seem a little pricey, it will pay for itself in the long run. Seriously my makeup looks flawless when i apply my foundation with it. Absolute magic.

Tips: Buy the actual Beauty Blender not a cheap replica. There is a difference.

#1 product to date!

Being someone who suffers from desert dry skin, I'm always eager to try anything that claims it will help my foundation appear more flawless.

I jumped straight on the beauty blender wagon, but after using it for the first time I was unexpectedly disappointed. It wasn't applying smoothly, I gave it another couple of attempts, to no avail, so in the drawer it sat for many many weeks.

About 2 months ago I finally pulled it out and tried it again, and I haven't looked back! It works so perfectly for me, the patting motion ensures that I don't disturb any dry patches, and it's super easy to use.

Goodbye bristle marks that you get from using a brush! It's also much more hygienic, I wash it every morning before I use it, as opposed to my old foundation brush that I used to watch once every 1 - 2wks. My skin has been so much clearer since, I'm not 100% sure if this has something to do with it, but I suspect it does.

Lastly, I've used, and washed, the same one daily for the last couple of months and it's still in pristine condition! So yes, it might seem a bit on the pricey side, but if taken care of properly, you'll def get your monies worth! :)

Tips: If you found that you didn't like the beauty blender first time round, go and give it a second chance!

Yeah you can definitely go for cheaper dupes with some products, but not this one in my opinion! :)

I'm all about you pay for what you get. If it means being broke after purchasing something that's the ear Mccoy vs the cheaper imitation. I'd rather be broke. Thanks for your review it makes else to buy the real deal.

I Love my beauty blender

Yes like many others I herd all the hype of these beauty blenders and curiosity got the best of me and I'm so so glad it did. I took the plunge and purchased the double pack from Sephora and used NZ post to deliver to me in NZ. I purchased the double for $40 USD with intentions to sell the extra to my mum but I couldn't part with the spare! There's no way I am giving up my spare because if anything was to happen to my beauty blender I would be absolutely lost . I love it so much , l use it every day and it makes my foundation look flawless . Since I have had my beauty blender I have not once used my MAC or sigma brushes.

Tips: The sponge works better when moist . Wet the sponge in water before use . Squeeze out the excess water and then put the sponge to your foundation and apply in a stippling motion.

Worth the Hype.

Like many people, I had heard nothing but rave reviews about the beauty blender. Being highly skeptical, I opted for a less expensive dupe (the Real Techniques sponges), which I promptly fell in love with. As I don't use brushes to apply my foundation (they cause micro exfoliation on my dry skin and make my face look patchy), I decided to bite the bullet and try the beauty blender out.

I got a dual pack of these from Nordstrom as they are much more affordable than purchasing them from here. The first thing that struck me about these, is that they are really small when dry. However, when you wet them they expand to almost double their size when wet, but are slightly smaller than the Real Techniques sponges.

These are very easy to use and feel soft and really 'bouncy' on your skin. I find that when they are wet they do absorb product, but it is fairly minimal. They create a flawless and seamless application to my face, don't create any ugly dry patches and don't diminish the coverage of my foundation.

These are fairly pricey but - for my skin type, they are a must have. In comparison to the Real Techniques sponges, these perform slightly better on my skin in that they don't absorb much product, the finish is slightly better and the sponge feels bouncier - which makes my skin look more natural.

If you have the Real Techniques sponges and are happy with those, then I wouldn't recommend you purchase these just because they are expensive and the difference is rather subtle. However, I will definitely repurchase these over the Real Techniques sponges as I do prefer the subtle differences and I like that these absorb less product. These also feel of a higher quality to the RT sponges.

Tips: Get these from Nordstrom's website as they are much cheaper.
