Airbrushy, beautiful foundation application!
First, let me get a disclaimer out of the way ... I received this item at a discount in exchange for leaving an honest, unbiased review ... but I'd buy another one at full price if I needed it. I hate having to wonder whether a review is legit or not as I, too, do a LOT of Amazon shopping and use reviews to make purchase decisions. So I'll ALWAYS tell the truth, even if it isn't pretty. So here goes!<br /><br />I've tried the original Beauty Blender and then tried a few mocks to see how they'd compare - in an attempt to save some money after having to trash the original after 3 o 4 months of use for sanitary/skincare reasons. All the others did an OK job, but nowhere near how nicely the original applied my foundation ... until this one!<br /><br />I'm so stoked that I found a reasonably priced substitute for the original Beauty Blender (who wants to pay $20 if they can get away with pay8ing $8-ish for the same result?). This one really feels like the expensive ones, is also latex free and applies my foundation like a dream - airbrushy, smooth, consistently blended. I love it! Definitely buying a few more to have on hand as I have to replace them. There's no weird scent or anything, in case you've ever had blending sponges that did have an odd smell. I'm not sure what benefit the vitamin E infusion is, but I'd buy this sponge either way.
