Beauty Blender quickly became the
cult ‘IT’ product of 2011 for me; I watched countless vloggers espoused its
greatness, read reviews galore that waxed lyrical about the seamless finish it
provided and I really wanted one. However every time I went to make a purchase there
was always a problem with delivery / stock. Due to the difficulty in purchasing
the product I wish to make it clear that I am making a comparison on the
concept of the sponges!
Beauty Blender – What is it?
Beautyblender, the ultimate make up sponge applicator.
Beautyblender has been created to leave you with a professional finish and a
flawless complexion. Forget your fingers or sharp-edged triangular sponges,
these application methods waste make up and can leave visible streaks.
Beautyblender’s patent-pending elliptical shape makes application foolproof by allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas with stunning ease. Beautyblender is latex free, non-allergenic and odour free.

Dupe?
I purchased these sponges from a seller
from EBay, the cost of P&P and the items total less than £5. The items
arrived after two weeks (normal for items from China) and I quickly put them to
the test.

I deliberately ordered two different
shapes (egg & water bottle) as I was keen to see which of the two was
easier to use. I found the water bottle was easier for me to use initially as I
struggled to get a firm grip, I was able to graduate to the egg once my
confidence grew. The sponges worked well
wet - slightly damp, not dripping, and I found it easier to adopt a stippling
motion to use with my Sleek Cream to Powder foundation.

Overall I was extremely pleased
with the products; the sponges were excellent value
and easy to use.
My foundation was seamless and I think these sponges offer a
viable alternative to those of us who hate using fingers to apply makeup. I
have large pores around my nose and noticed that the finish the sponges
provided helped to mask this. I have already made a repurchase from EBay and so
thought a review was overdue.
What are your thoughts, have you purchased the orginal Beautyblender?
