Purchased this after using 'knock off' brands for months. I thought since I liked the knockoff brands so much the real beauty blender would be incredible. Unfortunately I've been really disappointed! I find the texture is too 'open' as in it's very squishy and not dense enough. It absorbs too much of the liquid makeup (I mostly use it for liquid concealer) rather than distribute it evenly. It doesn't swell much bigger than the boxed size once damp with water, so it is quite a small applicator. The shape with only one round and one pointed area is not as ideal to other knock off sponges that allow for more intricate blending and precision. Its not a completely useless sponge (I will keep it in my rotation) but I much prefer my 6$ finds.

Overpriced, and goes moldy very fast and the color runs when washed. not a high quality product. there are much better spongers that provide the same effect but are way cheaper

I have a love hate relationship with this. I was so excited the first time I ever ordered one, and instantly fell Inlove with it the first time I used it. I followed the instructions and stored it the way the little instruction paper that came with it said. But within a few week, it started to grow mould. I emailed the company, and got terrible customer service. I had toe buy a new one, and I hummed and hawed because it's not something that priced well that you don't mind everytime it goes mouldy, you will just buy a new one. But I did order another and have been storing it differently, and so far, no mould. But I think I'm going to try the real techniques one next.

This sponge is okay for me at best. It works but I find I just get better results by using my finger tips.

The Beauty Blender is a great alternative to a foundation brush. Sometimes brushes will leave bristle marks but with this it gives a smooth finish and spreads evenly. The only problem is it needs to be cleaned often because it absorbs a lot of makeup and oil, even though you get it wet every use thats not enough to clean it.

I found that this product left my face looking cake-y. It did not blend my makeup well and it did not leave my skin looking natural as it should.

The material to make the beauty blender is one-of-a-kind. Makes it easy to use and it is very soft. It is hard to clean and you must clean it often or else bacteria, dirt, etc will build-up and cause skin problems. In my opinion, this was good to receive first because I wouldn't have known that I don't like it and spent money on this. It's harder to blend thinner liquid foundations (i.e. Lancome Teint Miracle, Maybelline Fit Me) and BB creams, which are all I use. So, I wouldn't recommend it. It wastes a lot of product and takes more time to apply anything. It's not the sponge isn't good quality, it's that I don't think it's an ideal tool to apply foundation/BB cream/concealer. A Real Techniques brush does a much better job.

For my skin this product was not good. First of all, I have very oily skin and the beauty blender tends to make my skin look super oily. It works great, but i prefer using a concealer or foundation brush. The price is also a little on the expensive side.

A make-up artist recommended me the BB makeup sponge at a fashion show, because it's what she was using on the models. I immediately went out and bought one - despite the price that made me cringe a little. It definitely worked well for the first couple weeks I had it. I bought the cleaning soap to go with it, and used it for about 6 months as the lady at Sephora suggested it would last that long. I've seen copycats at the drug mart for a fraction of the cost though, and I'm definitely tempted to try them and see if the Beauty Blender was worth the price in comparison.

$20 for a sponge is expensive. It is suppose to give you an air brush effect and suppose to make your foundation last longer. I am not sure if it is worth $20 I heard the Target version is $10 and it is just as good.
