The other day I finally took the plunge and ordered the pro bag of Beautyblenders from www.camerareadycosmetics.com. I’d read so many good things about the sponge so I thought it was worth a try…

… and I love them! I’ve been using them for over a week now and I think they’ve definitely earned a permanent place in my kit.

Applying foundation is quick and easy, it blends the foundation onto the skin perfectly. It’s also great at applying and blending concealer and cream blushers. Apparently you can also apply dry powder products with it, but I’ve not yet tried that. If you’re devoted to your foundation brush you can still apply your foundation with the brush and then blend over with the sponge to create a seamless finish.

The Beautyblender has a gorgeous feel to it and it’s a great shape to get around the nose snd eyes etc. So far the majority of people that I’ve used it on have commented on how nice it feels on their skin.

It’s different to ordinary sponges in that it can be used many times before you need a new one (less waste and so much better for the environment!), which is why they have made a special cleanser for it.

Here’s the Beautyblender video.

And there is more information at their website www.beautyblender.net.

They are as easy to clean as what you see in the video and you definitely need to buy the Blendercleanser with your sponge. In the UK you can order the sponge and cleanser from www.justbeautydirect.co.uk - Just Beauty Direct are a fantastic company where I get all my Smashbox Cosmetics - quick shipping and always brilliantly packaged.

A definite thumbs up for the Beautyblender
