Bottle Gourd Flawless Smooth Makeup Powder Puff Beauty Sponge,4Pcs,Random Color

A great dupe for beauty blenders. The price is amazing for all the sponges you get. They are a bit stiff at first. I suggest you soak them in warm water with makeup brush cleaner for 20 minutes. Wring/squeeze them out and let them dry on the counter top. They do increase in size but not by much after wetting them. After drying, the sponges shrink down a bit, but not to their initial size.If applying wet or oil based products, dampen sponge with water first. This helps with application of products. It will seem like it is taking on a lot of product, but by wetting the sponge the water inside makes a weighted core which keeps most of the wet product your using on the outside of the sponge. Can also be used with dry/powdered products. You can use the same wetting process as oil based products but coverage will be heaver. My personal suggestion is to keep one of the sponges dry when setting makeup concealer under the eye.When dirty with product, wet them with water and take a dime size of makeup brush cleaner and another dime size of olive oil in your hand. Work these two products into the sponge. You will see the makeup starting to lift. After 30 seconds or so, continue to work the mixture into the sponge while under running warm water. In two minutes all the product should be lifted and you should have a clean sponge. A great buy. I would highly recommend you give them a try.

Absolutely love all four for the price! Was not disappointed when I received them. They are quite small but I do enjoy the size since I just use them for my under eye concealer. I am not a huge fan of using beauty blenders for foundation so I was very satisfied w/ the size of them! They aren't as hard as people say they are. You do need to get them wet before use. Just soak them in water and squeeze some water out so the sponge is lightly damp and then it is ready to use! I wash my sponges once a week to ensure no bacteria or mold is growing in my sponges. It is common for these to grow mold especially since you do need to wet them and then they are left out to dry on their own. So don't be startled if one starts to grow some green hair. Just throw it away and use a new one! That's why they give you four! I would also recommend only using one at a time unless you have clients you're using these on b/c they do grow mold and you want them to last as long as they can! Great deal for the price in ratio to number of sponges! I received two tear drop ones and two of the other oddly shaped sponges. Extremely satisfied!!!

I do not know if it is the material or what but these do not blend well with certain foundation brands. If the foundation is thick, it does not blend out very well and I end up having areas that aren't covered as well as others, even if I only use a little bit at a time. It could be operator error but I have tried and tried many times to correct this issue. I mainly use the teardrop shaped ones for concealer and the other shape for my cream blush. I have also tried applying powder with these and they work great. The material is durable and easy to wash. I also liked that I was able to get 4 for such a cheap price.

I just received my sponges in the mail today, and I'm honestly surprised they're so small. I wet one, and it didn't get any bigger, so that sucks. But if you're thinking of getting the micro BBs then these would be good dupes, that's how I think of it. The size of them are the only reason I gave them 4 ⭐️s. Took a few weeks to get here as well, but at least I got them. I didn't get 4 different colors, but that doesn't really matter to me💖. They're soft and squishy, not hard at all so I'm overall content with my purchase. In 1 pic I'll have the sponges I received and in the other ill add the sponge I got from a beauty supply store. I also have two Beauty Blenders already so these were just extra lol. I'm kinda glad I got all pink, they look cute in my container together 💖 Thank you.

I like to apply makeup, and I also like finding new ways to go about doing all this applicating. I tried this makeup sponge, and I really like how the shape ensures that foundation gets into every crevice of your face. Aside from that, it gives a nice, smooth application which way surpasses the disposable sponges I've been using until now.I must add that I am very impressed that while this is a sponge, it does not absorb the foundation at all. I sometimes make it wet and squeeze as much water out of it as I can, and then put some foundation on the sponge. Some say it applies smoother this way, but I find it works well either way, wet or dry. I've been washing mine after each use with warm water and some soap, and it does take quite a bit of time to dry. Fortunately, they are not expensive and I can have other ones to use while one dries.

I was looking for a cheaper product to replace the Beauty Blender and I found it. I wanted to repurchase it; however, this product is definitely NOT the one I have purchased before. I do not know why. Maybe the seller just used other seller's photo. It is true that it is very cheap but still it is a waste of money. First, this product took a month to ship to my place. Although it did get here at the end, the product itself is very disappointing. Second thing is that the product has a strong chemical smell. I washed it a couple times but still the smell is there. Third thing, the sponge soak up all my foundation ( my foundation has very small particles). Last thing, it is very hard. It is hard as if a pencil eraser hitting my face.I feel like the one I purchased before is the one with amazon prime shipping, but I am not sure anymore. The day I got it I order a beauty blender from sephora right away. I really hope that they would improve their product and shipping time. Right now I feel like it a waste to just throw away these sponges so I am probably going to use them as painting brush soaking sponges, but again they are so hard I do not know whether they can soak effectively.
