Now, you must be thinking "that's a bold claim for a sponge" but this isn't just any sponge, no, this sponge will honestly change your life. I've heard nothing but good things about this sponge and to be honest I didn't think that I'd like it. I was quite happy with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush which gave me that full coverage look that I really like whilst effortlessly blending the foundation into my skin. But I think it was around October 2013 when I went makeup shopping for Eid is when I picked up the Beauty Blender from Selfridges. I was gutted to find out that they only had the white one in stock and the pink was obviously a top seller. The thought of ruining a white sponge with foundation everyday was rather daunting but I was keen to try the Beauty Blender out for myself to see if it made a difference in my makeup application. It did, and like many I do not know how I lived without it before. It is my go-to-tool and I reach for it everyday. Applying makeup without a Beauty Blender is currently impossible and has been for a long time. Somedays, I attempt to apply my foundation quickly with a brush but no matter how much I blend, it just looks cakey. The Beauty Blender gives me that flawless look and makes makeup application faultless. After all, who wants to be going out with patchy looking foundation?
Retailing at £16, it is quite expensive and there are plenty of cheaper alternatives available however, I didn't want to try a cheap one and not like it and then have to spend £16 in the end on one that has been raved about all over the internet. There are some hit and miss reviews on the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. Some either love it whilst others do not believe it compares to the Beauty Blender. I still want to try out the RT one and considering its only £5.99 I might just buy myself one. If the Beauty Blender is out of your budget then definably check out the RT sponge and if it works for you then you'll be saving yourself a few quid there.
Although the Beauty Blender is expensive it is definitely worth the investment. The sponge is great for applying foundation, concealer, powder or for blending in your contour. It seamlessly blends liquid, cream and powder products, giving you that flawless look every time. First, I dampen the sponge and then remove the excess water with a paper towel. I blend out the products in a patting/dabbing motion. It is a versatile product which means that the pennies are well spent.
You can also buy the Beauty Blender here and for £4 more it comes with a cleanser kit. Remember to collect your points. There isn't much more to say really, other than, try it for yourself and fall in love with it too :) xxx
