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 love this thing! it is soo good for blending out any lines in foundation, and is very good for applying concealer evenly. It is a nice shape, and has a good feel to it. Love the pink colour too!
