Bubble Beauty Blender Makeup Sponge, Super-Soft Foam Easily Blends Foundations, Powders & Creams, Made in USA, Reusable, Washable, Streak Free Application, Vegan, Cruelty Free

I first owned and used the original pink beauty blender and loved it, but my skin didn't. I believe the dye in the original one broke out my skin. I also noticed every time I cleaned the pink one it leaked the pink color. So I decided to try the Pure version since I loved the sponge so much. And I am so glad I got it! It does a great job, same quality as the original. Delivers a flawless application of my foundation and I love that this cleans up great! I clean mine periodically with my all natural Castile soap (dr bronners) and all the stains disappear! Amazing sponge! Update- January 27th 2014 Nearly 3 months in and this is still my go to tool for applying my foundation and concealer. It is amazing! I have tried it with powder foundations, liquid and cream (my preferred one) and it does a fantastic job on all of them! This is a fantastic tool for people who have sensitive skin, acne prone, etc. Using brushes can be more harsh on the skin, more pulling and tugging, hold bacteria, etc. None of that at all with the beauty blender! Mine is stain free also still and I use it a lot! I thought I would offer some helpful tips for anyone who needs it. :) 1. Don't clean it immediately after applying your makeup. Clean it after it has dried, like the next morning or at bed time. I have cleaned mine this way from the get go and never have had any staining with it. 2. Clean it with a liquid soap or dish soap. I prefer to use a more natural soap (dr bronners liquid Castile soap) but have heard of success using Dawn dish soap too. These will do a better job of getting the stains out verses using your cleanser and are much cheaper than splurging on the beauty blender one! I clean mine every other use. I see some reviews stating they only cleaned theirs once per month or so. That's not smart and slightly annoying that they would write a negative review of this product when it was most likely their own negligence that caused the issues. #1 it's white (hello!) #2. Not washing it will cause it to hold bacteria and could cause irritation or break outs. #3. It can also cause the color of the makeup your applying to be off (if its hoarding weeks worth of old make up). Also I see negative written reviews of people who claim their beauty blender grew mold. Folks, DO NOT store it in a closed container while wet! Thought that was a given, apparently not for everyone. Allow it to dry, and then put the lid on! 3. Be gentle when cleaning this tool, no need to scrub the heck out of it. Mine has not been broken or fallen apart, but I take my time cleaning it. Wet it, add a few drops of soap, gently massage it in, rinse and repeat if necessary. 4. I highly recommend watching some you tube videos on how to use a beauty blender ( more available on the pink one, doesn't matter the technique is the same). They were very helpful to me in understanding how to use it! There is definitely a technique, so educate yourself on how to properly use it. The payoff is worth it! I get a flawless application of my foundation every time. Then flip it to the pointed end and use it for my under eye concealer. Blends beautifully! That's all I have for now, I will update again in the future! Totally worth the $15 I paid for it!!!

Great addition to my makeup kit since it's basically a multi-tasking sponge. Immediately fell in love with it. My main use for it is foundation and concealer and it has a fantastic application. Really airbrushed finish, no creasing, and really soft when bouncing it on the face. It is best when used damp, even for powders. It's a bit tough to clean since it picks and holds quite a bit of product, but I use baby shampoo and it works wonders plus definitely cheaper than the solid/liquid cleanser they sell. A bit of dye can come out while cleaning but it's very typical of the sponge and the color doesn't stick to anything (so if you clean it and use it on your face, don't worry the dye won't stick on you or mix with your makeup). Also 100% cruelty free and vegan~ As for those who are worried about getting fake ones on amazon, there's a list of authorized dealers on the beautyblender website (which I used to tell who are legit sellers on amazon such as Lock & Mane, reference beautyblender's e-partners page as well) and of course I got a real one. Update for 12/9/2017: After going through 3-4 beautyblenders (I replace them every 6 months or so for sanitary reasons), this is still my staple beauty sponge. Quality is still great. Only thing I have to note after all this time is that over time it gets slightly stiffer (it's still quite soft when damp) and easier to rip if you're not super gentle with washing (my error but still wanted to make note). But for $20 for 6 month use, at least for me, it's worth it and I swear by it to this day.

Occasionally, someone does invent a better mousetrap, as they used to say! As a grown woman who has applied make-up for many years (and on stage, for work & just because) and in many ways (brushes, foam wedges and, most often, tips of the fingers, which I'm told is not good to do, but never cared before) the idea that there was a new, better way to apply makeup seemed absurd. Beautyblender is said to be made with a patented material developed especially for applying makeup. I wanted to try it and am so glad I did. For one thing, the sponge material is in fact quite different than others I've used. Other sponges, from the older wedges to newer, different shaped ones, drink up my makeup - more goes into the sponge than on my face! That's money! Even drugstore foundation, for example, is no longer cheap.. Then the sponge gets dirty or ratty, I throw it away and use my fingers. But the Beautyblender somehow tenderly holds smaller amounts of makeup so you use what you need and it goes on remarkably smoothly. It looks more natural. I don't use as much foundation, especially, or eye makeup, as I did when I was younger, but this sponge is still very helpful, maybe more so - it blends fantastically, so i can use as much or little as I wish - it rinses out, doesn't waste foundation.. It's a life changer, and, as far as I can tell, it really is a whole new advance. Was so excited when we watched the Emmys and I saw one of the winning actresses accidentally carry her bright pink Beautyblender to the stage! I knew what it was!

Just as expected!

I receive a totally different item. And the one I received was am awful one that is compared to the image

J’adore, grâce au beautyblender, j’ai un teint parfait

Tja was soll ich sagen :D ich liebe ihn .. Als mein freund und ich in der Drogerie waren und er dein Preis von beinah 20€ gesehen hat für dieses kleine Ding verdrehte er erstmals die Augen und fragte mich ob es tatsächlich mein ernst sei 😂 daraufhin hab ich auf Amazon geschaut obs preislich nicht "billiger" wäre .. Die Rezensionen sprechen Eindeutig für sich und deshalb musste ich ihn auch haben. . Die Handhabung is super einfach .. hab bisher make up pinsel verwendet .. Und das Ergebnis hat mich nie 100% überzeugt vorallem bei Nase und die Stelle zwischen den Augenbrauen. . Es war nie das was i mir vorgestellt hab .:-S Mit dem bb hab ich es endlich so hin bekommen wie ich immer schon wollte.. Es macht so ein Eben mäßiges hautbild und arbeitet sich richtig wunderschön rein .. Selbst bei meinen sonst eher trockenen Problem stellen wie oben beschrieben . Nichts setzt sich ab .. Es is so wunderschön gleichmäßig.. Da mein freund ja davor so geschockt war musste ich ihm ja schließlich das Ergebnis zeigen .. Sogar er meinte das es unglaublich schön aussieht und so als ob man fast kein make up, consealer oben hätte :D also er ist jz auch begeistert .. Einfach nass machen ab trocknen und los geht's :) Ich benutze auch ein sehr teures make up und man hat davor schon nicht viel davon gebraucht .. Mit dem bb braucht man noch weniger .. Klare kauf Empfehlung.. Hätte ich nicht gedacht

La compré para mi madre y me ha comentado que la esponja tiene un tacto súper agradable y distribuye súper bien el maquillaje, la crema o lo que le pongas por toda la piel. Lo he usado unos cuantos días y no deja nunca grumos. Hay otras esponjas parecidas que le han llegado a provocar rojeces en la piel. Con esta, tengo que decir que no ha tenido ningún problema, así que si tienes la piel sensible es una buenísima opción. Es muy fácil de limpiar además. Se seca enseguida y es muy higiénica. Por poner una mini pega, diría que la punta podría ser más puntiaguda para poder llegar mejor a las dobleces, pero tampoco supone un gran problema. ¡Repetiremos!

best sponge for using makrup.
