Hi Beautiful Readers!
Here are my thoughts on the astonishing BEAUTY BLENDER!!

- Professional, flawless complexion
- Won't waste makeup
- Won't leave visible streaks
- Accesses hard to reach areas
- Fits contours of the face
Overall, I do quite enjoy the Beauty Blender, but from experience, I do believe that it may be only used for certain things when applying makeup.
My response to the claims are that, YES, the Beauty Blender does not leave visible streaks and can access the hard to reach areas of the face, but thats about it.
It does claim that it creates a professional, flawless complexion, but I don't feel that way when using the tool. I tend to get patches of foundations and clear skin, as the sponge does absorb the foundation.
Although, I will say that the Beauty Blender is best used when applying concealer to the under eye region and around the nose. Using the tip of the Beauty Blender is best for this region, and is not too harsh for the delicate skin around the eye area. If you do want to apply a foundation with the Beauty Blender, it is best to use a dabbing motion with the bottom flat end of the tool.
The thing about the Beauty Blender is that cleaning it has become a HASSLE!
Since it is a sponge, you must clean it quite frequent as it does absorb up a lot of bacteria from your face, makeup and where it is kept.
The Beauty Blender is best used when DAMP/WET! This is because, when the sponge has absorbed water, it won't absorb the makeup as much. So before applying your foundation or concealer, I'd recommend to soak the sponge, wring it out and then you're ready to go. (Make sure it is not dripping wet!!)
Another thing that boggles my mind is the PRICE of the Beauty Blender! On the official Beauty Blender website, it is listed at $19.95 for the original Beauty Blender. I honestly believe that is quite high! And I will admit that cheaper dupes for $5 are just as great as the $20 original!
Overall the Beauty Blender is a wonderful product, but I wouldn't use it for anything other than my concealer.
So stay tuned on beautewithj.blogspot.com.au to keep up with me and read about my appreciation for beauty.
