Couture Diaries Tried & Tested!

Hi Couture Readers, Lola here again to bring you our honest opinions on products that we have tried & tested! Featured today is the infamous Beauty Blender Sponge. Ok so I purchased this product after hearing all the fabulous reviews on it and I just had to try it out for myself. The sponge can be a bit pricey (£14.50) when you think of it in terms of just a tiny sponge but after using it I really believe its worth every penny - ooh and it's pink! As used by top make up artists and most famously used on the Kardashian girls and JLo by well known make up artist Mario Dedivanovic, this sponge really proves that good things come in small packages.

The sponge should be used damp and clear instructions are given on the cute box and packaging it comes in.

Now down to its performance: Compared to other sponges and foundation brushes that I've used, none have come close to how easy to use and versatile this sponge is. It provides a flawless application every time and covers larger areas faster while at the same time giving you a better grip as it larger when compared to other sponges, which is important when you are trying to stipple your foundation. Also, its pointed tip means it reaches hard to reach areas like the sides of your nose and under the eyes These ends really help when u want to cover smaller areas and the finish at the end is much more impressive than your standard foundation brush or sponge.

Verdict - would buy again and again, although it looks like it will last a long time. I get the most natural and healthy looking glow when I use this sponge and I love leaving the house with an airbrushed look. You can even use it to apply bronzers, blushers and highlighters. What more could we want? This really is a miracle egg!
