Review (5/5): 100% what it says it is
This is that beauty blender that you see all the youtube makeup artists using on their face when they're all "OK, let's bounce it out now" and speed up the video. Get it wet, wring out the excess moisture, and bounce. I found that the sponge is not as easy to keep clean as my brushes are. When I'm done applying makeup, I'll give any of the brushes I've used a hit with either the brush cleaning spray, or a makeup wipe, or a spot of Dawn and water to clean them out before I put them back. I shudder to think of how gross it is leaving all that dead skin cells and makeup sitting out in the open like that to collect even more bacteria. It keeps my brushes looking nice. But for the beauty sponges, once that pigment is in there, it's probably going to stain. I'm not /as/ mad at it as I thought I'd be.
Personally, I prefer this for applying liquid foundation, because for finishing powders or pressed powder foundations, nothing beats those big giant fluffy numbers that will cover your face in the blink of an eye. That said, it works like a charm for any of those tinted moisturisers, liquid foundations, and liquid concealers.
