Review (5/5): WOW! Get it now! You won’t be disappointed!
I’ve forever been a fan of the Real Techniques sponges. They’re soft, they work great, they clean well, they last pretty well, and they didn’t soak up too much of my foundation. So, they were a win for me. I’ve tried many other sponges, but never found ones I loved as much or more than my Real Techniques sponges…UNTIL NOW!
Initially what caught my eye with this sponge was the shape. I loved it had a thin, pointed tip I could use for concealer and areas like around my nose. I loved the 2 angled sides so I can apply cream blush or bronzer or for when I want to apply powder. The sides would work great to apply my foundation. I was hoping the shape would work as well as it seemed like it would, and it did! I was a little worried about the size. Usually, I like to use those little mini sponges for under my eyes. I just never found a sponge, even with a pointy tip, that gets under my eyes to blend my concealer as well as the mini sponges do. So, I was hoping this would still work as a great all around sponge, and, like I said, it did!
The sponge is AMAZING! It’s so soft, but dense so it doesn’t seem to absorb hardly any product. That makes it so easy to clean! I’m the kind of person that hates when my sponges have product stains on them. After I use them, I clean them and keep working at it until all the product is out of it and it looks new again. This can be hard on my sponges and cause them to tear after a few washes. My Real Techniques sponges held up well during my washings, but still would start tearing after about a month of regular washes. I LOVE that this sponge is dense enough that it doesn’t absorb hardly any product, so it’s easy to clean and I don’t have to scrub it for a while, but it’s still so soft and bouncy!
It does get bigger when it’s wet, and it’s already a good size when dry. But, the point on it is thin enough that it gets under my eyes to blend my concealer the way I like it! I don’t have to switch to a mini sponge to do my concealer! I love that!
The sides work great to apply my foundation. It blends it so easily and it looks so smooth and beautiful!
The angled edges work great to apply cream blush/bronzer/contour. It blends them out great and doesn’t lift product underneath it!
It works great to apply powder too!
This is such a great sponge that does everything I need it to and I don’t need to switch to different sponges to do different things! This one sponge has enough different shapes that it does everything I need! I definitely recommend it!
