The Original Beautyblender

I still don't understand how this product is any better than my everyday sponge that i use. I was able to pick this up on sale, buying into all the hype and i was utterly disappointed. It did nothing different. I got the same coverage and smooth look as i always do. It really was a waste of money. It was easier to hold because of the rain drop shape but other than that, its just a sponge. I also found it a lot harder to clean.

I don't know how to explain it other than it does what it should. It blends everything it, giving an amazing finish. And you can totally use it to put powders on too. Meaning you can basically do your whole face with it. It's a handy tool to have around!

This sponge is like the best thing to ever happen to make up application in my life. Its totes amazing. Its everything I imagined it would be!

There are many a beauty sponge on the market now but I'm here to tell you that its Beauty Blender or nada for me! This is the real deal! Especially if you have dry skin and want to wear a longlasting (read drying) foundation, like double wear, then you're going to need the BB! It applys effortlessly and leaves you looking airbrushed!

I seriously love this applicator and no other sponges come close to what this one can do. Whenever I use it my foundation looks flawless. It blends really easily and I'm never left looking streaky or patchy.

There are many products being made now that try to copy the Beautyblender, but the few I've tried are no good. If you want the real deal, you'll have to splurge a little and get the Original Beautyblender.

I love that it comes in a teardrop shape. I usually use the rounded end for the large parts of skin on my face e.g. forehead and cheeks. Then I use the pointed end for around my eyes and nose.

The only problem I've had with this product is that I have to use more foundation than if I were using a brush. I normally only need 2 pumps of foundation for a brush, and at least 3 pumps for a Beautyblender. So I try not to use the Beautyblender daily as my foundation runs out too quickly if I do.

Overall it is a really fantastic product. If you don't already own one, go buy one right now!

As for my first impression, this sponge is MAGIC! Creates such a flawless finish it's amazing. And it's so easy and quick! For me, try this instead of any foundation brush and you will get amazing results!

Cons: The price is a little too much.

Originally I thought spending $38.00 for a sponge was a wee bit ridiculous.. However, when contouring my face.. This really made everything so much easier. When purchasing I had no idea of how to use it let alone use it properly but after getting the hang of it I found the sponge to quite essential to my everyday makeup routine. It was easy to use and fit well in my hands, also found it quite easy to clean.. I love this product and find it well worth the money I spent on it.

This is the real deal! For a long and tiresome time, I was using a brush and getting uneven results, a streaky face that i was constantly having to correct with a finishing powder. But not anymore! It applies effortlessly and leaves you looking flawless, I will never return to brushes.

When I first started out with makeup and stumbled across the Original Beautyblender, I was shocked. I couldn't justify spending $38 on a sponge, I then heard more and more people rave about it and I just had to see what the fuss was about. It arrived and i was shocked at how small it was, i then wet it and squeezed until damp. I applied my foundation with it and from that moment I will never look back. It leaves my foundation looking absolutely flawless! I have no idea how it is so much better than any other sponge I have tried but it is! I can't even remember the last time I used a brush to apply my foundation. I find when I use it damp it doesn't soak up too much product but still soaks up just enough to keep your foundation/concealer non-cakey. 10/10 Recommend.
