Review *DUPE ALERT* | BeautyBlender eBay dupe


Hi again!
So I always use sponges for my makeup. And I feel like I'm wasting them. Because if I bin them it feels like a waste but if I keep them for too long I don't like using them on my face. It feels like putting dirt in my face. Regular sponges also seem to waste makeup as it is absorbed by the sponge. 

This is where I came across the Beauty Blender. I've seen many bloggers rave about this all the time. And I thought It was a pretty cool idea that you wet it so it doesn't waste your makeup and it goes on smoother. And it's easier to wash. 

Beauty Blender DUPE
But i thought a Beauty Blender was a little bit too far out of my budget... for a sponge... So i decided to have a little hunt on the internet for a dupe, which i found!

I ordered it from Hong Kong, and it took about a month to get to me... so i got very excited when it arrived. It was smaller than i would have expected but it looked a lot better than a sponge even before i had used it! It just seemed more substantial to hold.

So you're supposed to immerse it in water and keep squeezing it until its full of water... then squeeze all the water out so it is damp... then put your foundation on your hand and stipple it onto your face.

This was so easy to do, and it just seemed to go on smoother with no lines on my face at all. I also used it for my powder, blusher and bronzer. It is just amazing! I am a big fan of both of the ends, the pointy end to get into the hard to reach places and the bottom for the rest of your face. It is an amazing sponge and i can apply almost all of my face makeup with it... absolutely brilliant!
Perspective

Apparently the sponge is supposed to get bigger when its wet, but i don't see a noticeable difference. Maybe this only happens with the original BeautyBlender
I highly recommend you try this out, as it's only 99p off eBay. It won't arrive for a while, but when it does you'll get excited and want to use it straight away, i did it! But had to wait a day to use it because i'd already done my makeup.
