Review (4/5): 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!
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!
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.
