Hi Beauts.
A popular make up tool that everyone has or wants is the Beauty bender. I for one definitely wanted to get my hands on one, and whilst in Selfridges I almost bought one. However my thoughts pretty much went along the lines of ' £13.00 for a make up sponge?! Nee chance' So I held off, and I'm so glad that I did because I found a little dupe on eBay for 99p
I can't compare this to the original beauty blender as I don't have one, but I can tell you that this gives a flawless finish, even coverage and allows me to use less foundation than I would with a brush.
All you have to do is run this little beauty under the tap then squeeze out the water. The beauty blender will then expand and you're ready to start applying your foundation. I like to apply dots of foundation all over my face then start to bounce it into my skin rather than pour a blob on the back of my hand. I just find this allows me to get all of my face without missing any patches.
Because of its shape, the more pointed end makes it easy to apply and blend foundation/concealer under the eyes and around the nose so you don't need a separate concealer brush.
The only downfall with this is that it stains after one use, I've used brush cleaner and baby shampoo and those stains ain't budging. However for 99p who am I to complain?!
If you've been after the Beauty blender I'd say give this a go first, I promise you won't be disappointed

I also have this from ebay and I love it, if I'm having a day where my foundation isn't going on right with a brush I'll always use this and it works really well. I haven't noticed staining on my one, maybe it's because my foundations are so ridiculously pale :( lol xx
ReplyDeleteIt gives a great finish doesn't it? And I love that I don't need a separate brush for concealer :)

I have seen a few posts on these & not one person has had a bad thing to say. I can feel an Ebay shop coming on hehe.

I'd absolutely recommend getting one (or 4 haha) I can't get over how great it is for the price

I think I'm going to give this a try! I'm hearing so many good things - I'm not sure where to start with it thoug, I might have to search YouTube for a tutorial!

You really should, they're great! I just kind of pat mine onto my skin, I tried rubbing/blending but it didn't give the same finish

I think I'll be giving this a try. What bargain!

I'm going to get a few more just to change it up a bit haha Can't believe they actually sell for £13 when they sell for 99p on Ebay! (although if the dupes got discontinued for some strange reason, I'd pay £13 lol)
