The Original Beautyblender

I absolutely adore this product. The first thing I notice is that it's PINK! My favourite. It does come in other colours but I'm a loyal pink girl hah! Once dampened (the correct way to use it), it gives the most flawless airbrushed finish to your foundation and concealer, it also blends out any cream bronzer/highlighter or blush you use. Super easy to clean, I find, because you need to dampen it anyway before use, so keep your cleaner handy and wash it regularly. The beauty blender completely eliminates the worry of brush streaks!

Since i got into beauty, this has been a product in the back of my mind. However, i couldn't justify the price tag, so brought cheaper alternatives such as the real techniques sponge. But finally, i pulled up the courage, and the money to purchase this and it was the best decision i ever made. This sponge comes in heaps of different colours but ofcourse i stuck with the classic hot pink one. It comes in a small little plastic container, and when i first got it, i was so surprised at how small it was. But once i added water, the sponge almost doubled in size.

The thing that makes this sponge different from the rest is the foam. It has a texture and denseness unless anything i have felt. its light and It's spongey, but you almost feel like it you squeeze it, it will hold an imprint. I love it.

One negative about this sponge (and all beauty sponges) is that fact that you need to use more foundation because the sponge does absorb a lot of the product. However, it gives beautiful results too and makes foundation look glowy and seamless, so I don't mind wasting a little bit of foundation. Plus it makes blending in concealer a dream!

If you are on the fence about getting this, i think you need to bite the bullet and get it right now. I wish i had got it a lot sooner.

To be honest when I first heard about the Original Beautyblender I dismissed it, assuming it would work just as well as cheap sponges from the supermarket, almost content with simply smothering on my makeup with my bare fingers.

I received it recently as a birthday gift, and haven't turned back since. Loved it from the first application! It was so satisfying seeing my foundation perfectly blended in with such ease. You don't really realise what you're missing out on until you try something that actually works, and the Original Beautyblender works.

Some may be hesitant to invest in a more expensive option, but from my own experience I was throwing out my sponges every fortnight. I was going through heaps, and burning a hole in my pocket while I was at it! I haven't needed any other applicators for my concealer and foundations

Since I started using the beauty blender I haven't looked back. Its so much quicker and easy to apply my foundation with than a brush and gives me a flawless finish. I absolutely love the standard pink blender, but I also tried out the Red Carpet one (last years LE I think?) and it just isn't as good for some reason - it picked my foundation back up again, (maybe I just got a dud one but who knows). So I would highly recommend the standard pink blender, but I wouldn't buy another LE one.

This product is absolutely amazing! I loved it when I first bought it but now that it's old I just don't feel like spending another $30 to repurchase it. I do however love the RT sponge which is basically the same. The only different is the texture and the beauty blender does have more bounce when dampened. However this doesn't really effect the results because the products you apply will basically turn out the same.

I love my beauty blender. I find it works well for my skin type, easy to use and makes my foundation look flawless (best used damp). I do find it to be a bit pricey.

I have tried many sponges and I really like this one but I don’t think it’s worth over $30. I buy one for around $11 and it’s just as good as this, although if you are wanting a splurge and take really good care of your sponges it’s totally worth it.
