THIS PRODUCT IS LIKE MY FRICKIN CHILD! I had been using the Real Techniques sponge for a while and had thought about getting a BeautyBlender for a really really long time but they're quite hard...

Okay, so I have tried a bunch of different brushes and sponges and none of them have been as good as the beauty blender. I tried a couple of knock-offs, and while they were good, they couldn't...

I love this sponge so much. Can not live without it anymore. I always use it pretty damp. I put dots of foundation on my face all over it, then smooth it with BB. I think it's not a good idea to...

I've tried a few sponges, the real techniques, some crappy ebay beautyblender knockoffs, and the original beautyblender. I have to say, the beautyblender definitely outperformed all of them....

I saw some negative reviews and I feel like I should offer some pointers. I bought two black beautyblenders at The Makeup Show for 14.50 each and decided I would give them a go after my first...

EDITED 8/07/2016: I've changed my mind about BB! Upgraded from 3 stars to 5. Review below is outdated and needs to be rewritten when I get around to it. Long story short, I think my first BB was...

I bought this on birch box and managed to get two for the price of one, which is the only good thing I can say about this product. The beauty blender is nothing special, and is just as good as any...

I really love this product. I didn't think it would be quite as great as it is. Blends so much better than any foundation brush I've ever used. Its a bit pricey for a foundation sponge, but I...

I resisted buying this for so long, thinking $20 was way too much to spend on a simple sponge. I bought the "dupes" and probably paid at least twice as much as I would have if I'd not been a cheap...

Ok the BeautyBlender is fantastic for blending foundation. I absolutely loved mine. HOWEVER the price is ridiculous. $20 for a sponge that needs to be replaced relatively often is a joke. Real...

I decided to splurge on it because of all the reviews I read and watched on youtube. I bought it at sephora for 26$ (I live in Canada). Before buying this, I had the quo makeup blender. Compared to...

ah beauty blender, i love you! Makes foundation application so smooth and even. This is for sheer-er coverage, makes "dewy foundations" more dewy(especially when used damp). If you want a...

I don't see why everyone loves this, I prefer my brushes to this, I only use this sponge for my concealer and I don't think it's worth spending 20€ on a sponge to blend your concealer. Very...
