Nothing compares

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.

A Perfect Blend

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

Tips: Use the larger areas of the Beautyblender for the larger areas of your face - cheeks, forehead, chin, etc. Make sure to use the smaller tip to get the more difficult to reach places, such as the inner corners of the eyes.

Wash it at least once a week to get the most out of it!

The only thing I use to apply foundation

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.

Tips: Try using it with your powder to set the T zone (still damp - it works I promise!)

I loved it, but won't repurchase

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.

Blending Sponge

This product works. It’s great for not giving you that “caked” look. Probably doesn’t work as well as i imagined but it’s still a good product i couldn’t fault.

Amazing but pricey

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.

Tips: Ensure you are cleaning and drying it regularly.

Good but there’s better

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.

Tips: Clean with alcohol after every use and do a deep weekly cleaning to get the most use out of it as it’s not cheap. Buy it on sales.

Love at 1st squeeze

Still my favorite since they hit the market a few yrs back! easy to clean and reuse, gives me a smooth easy application that's quick on a busy morning. Good for tricky around the nose and eye. Love the mini version as well

Tips: Clean with the bueaty blender solution, lasts forever!

Exactly as expected

This is a wonderful product. It gives you such a beautiful finish that even someone who isn't a expert at applying makeup can get a great look without obvious patches or noticeable lines. This helps you blend and look natural

Tips: Make it damp, I find it stops the sponge from absorbing too much of the product

Must have tool!

The Beauty Blender is a must-have tool for flawless makeup application. This little sponge has completely changed the way I apply my foundation and other complexion products.

What sets the Beauty Blender apart is its unique shape and texture. The soft, bouncy material creates a streak-free finish and allows for seamless blending. It effortlessly blends foundation, concealer, and even cream blush or highlighter into the skin, giving a natural and airbrushed look.

One of the standout features of the Beauty Blender is its ability to expand when dampened. This allows for optimal product absorption, preventing excess product from being wasted. The damp sponge also helps to create a more natural and dewy finish, as it prevents the makeup from sitting on top of the skin.

The versatility of the Beauty Blender is another reason why it's a favorite among makeup enthusiasts. Its rounded bottom is perfect for larger areas of the face, while the pointed tip allows for precise application in hard-to-reach areas such as around the nose and under the eyes. It's like having multiple brushes in one convenient tool.

Cleaning the Beauty Blender is a breeze as well. With the right cleanser or soap, it can be easily washed and rinsed to remove any buildup of product. It's important to keep the sponge clean for hygienic purposes and to prolong its lifespan.

In summary, the Beauty Blender is a game-changer in makeup application. Its ability to blend seamlessly, versatility, and easy maintenance make it an essential tool for achieving a flawless and natural-looking finish. If you want to elevate your makeup routine, the Beauty Blender is definitely worth the investment.

Tips: Wash on a regular basis!
