The Original Beautyblender

I had read so many reviews about this sponge, but couldn't believe how much it cost so I put it off for ages- I wish I hadn't!

I have owned my sponge for about 8 months now and it was worth every dollar! You don't have to buy from overseas websites now as makeup.co.nz and beautybliss.co.nz stock them. I have tried many different ways to apply foundation over the years and this pink sponge is the best by far.

It doesn't soak up foundation, it applies evenly and gives you an airbrush type finish that is flawless.

I have found even with foundations that I don't like the finish of as they are quite thick (such as Revlon Colourstay) if I apply them with the Beauty Blender they transform into a lovely foundation- it truly is a wonder product.

I love that it is a elliptical shape that allows you to get in underneath your eye and around your nose- I use it to apply my concealer too. Plus it is latex free, non-allergenic and odor free so perfect even for sensitive skin.

The only downside with this product is that it does take a little more care than a brush. You need to wash it regularly and leave it to air dry. Plus travelling with it can be a bit of a pain but I found putting it in a snaplock bag and washing it with whatever shower gel you are travelling with works pretty well.

I had heard a lot about the BB sponge before I took the plunge and bought it and am happy to say that I absolutely love it! It applies evenly and I find that using the sponge, a little does go a long way! Love it! If you haven't tried it then you have to!

At first I was extremely skeptical about purchasing the Beautyblender, I mean, $38 JUST for a SPONGE??!! It took me the better part of 12mths to decide whether to purchase this. I loved my faithful fake beautyblender, it did the trick but then I had nothing to compare it to. Once I made the leap, my fake sponge ended up in the rubbish bin 5 days later. This sponge is exactly what everyone says it is. It doesn't soak up too much product, blends your foundation in flawlessly and best of all, your foundation doesn't look caked on no matter how much you put on! This is definately worth the (eek) $38. I was lucky enough to pick a couple up for $44. Keep an eye on the specials. An absolute must have in your collection. So easy to use and even easier to clean.

I was put off by the price tag to begin with but after many, many rave reviews over the sponge I thought I had to know what the big fuss was all about. I brought it with the cleaner, if I was going to invest $38 in a sponge I wanted to make sure I used it right and looked after it properly. I really love the finish it gives, its almost airbrushed foundation if you dab a little on while slighty damp and then blend on the dry side. Very impressed and the cleaner is lasting forever, really cleans it well.

I was put off by the price at first, so I brought replicas off ebay that sucked up so much product and were such a hassle to clean. Then one day I saw a video by Karrissa Pukas (satnitealrite) and she said she couldnt believe that she had been using replicas when she finally got the beauty blender, that did it for me the next day I was online buying one. I waited and waited for it to arrive, once it arrived I used it straight away, it was absolutely amazing. I now use it everyday to put on my foundation. I have used it with mousse and liquid and it creates a flawless finish everytime.

I absolutely love this product I use it everyday wet to apply my foundation. For my dry skin it works wonders to make my skin look dewy.

The only downfall I have is that this product eats foundation.

So I put this on my Xmas wishlist hesitant because I thought WHO would buy me a sponge for $38.. but thankfully my friend did because I have no been converted to the beauty blender life!

This is beautiful, its applys my makeup so well it looks airbrushed! Unlike other makeup blenders Ive used this doesnt suck any of the makeup up which is such a +++ FAVE WAY TO APPLY MY FOUNDATION!

I love the beauty blender took me a while before purchasing it but when I did I regretted not getting it earlier. Using the beauty blender foundation looks like it is airbrushed on your face. Another benefit of using a beauty blender is no brush strokes. If you don't already have one your missing out!!

I've been using the beauty blender for almost a month now and it honestly is my holy grail tool. The best part of this sponge is that I can clean it and not have to worry about waiting for it to dry. I use the bottom flat end to apply my foundation which leaves no lines or streaks and I use the pointed end for my concealer :). It's easy to clean and allows me to make the most of my product (if you wet it of course so that the product sits on top of the sponge rather than the sponge absorbing it.

This is the most I will ever spend on a sponge, but wow was it worth it. It is less efficient with your product than using a brush or your fingers, as it seems to soak up foundation super fast, but it gives such a flawless finish! No more brush strokes!
