Best Review on BeautyBlender 2XSC239 Beautyblender Blendercleanser Combo
The price is scary, but it`s so worth it! First of all I use less make up when applying (just a pea size on the cheeks and forehead, and a bit where needed). I bounce the dump sponge all over my face and that`s it! Flawless, natural look. Even my husband commented! It`s Allure editor award choice, I know why! For me it`s the best make up applicator (I used foundation brush, make up regular sponge, and my favorite till now fingers).
I`m happy I bought the cleanser, only because I can place sponge on top to dry, and later I replace liquid with other delicate soap. After the sponge is dry I keep it in the original plastic case (separate from the second one by a plastic divider). All clean and easy to use. Latex free if someone`s allergic.
The average life of the sponge supposed to be 3 months, but I predict longer (just clean it delicately), because I don`t wear make up everyday. Easy to clean and storage. I recommend to buy a double pack at once, it`s better value.
I`ll come back for more for sure!
The beauty blenders give such a flawless finnish, i always use it damp...i dint see much benefit from it dry. This is my second time ordering them, i lost my first ine, also i havent used the cleaner before but decided to order it because my last one i didnt like how it felt after cleaning it with soap...i will update

BalasHapusLove it!! Ever since i started using beauty blender, i feel bad leaving my brush alone:( its the best thing ever!!
BalasHapusI can't say enough good things about it. I've copied and pasted this review into a couple places. I love it that much.
BalasHapusThe cleanser is soy based and it comes in a container that has a scooped top. You place your beauty blender egg shaped sponge in the scoop and press once or twice while the bottle of cleanser remains sitting on the counter,(no need to turn the bottle over to get the cleansing liquid out)this revelutionary design insures that you only use a small ammount of the cleanser. The soy based cleanser actually breaks down all kinds of different foundations that you may have used with the sponge. I've been known to use the soy based liquid cleanser to clean my brushes as well. Instead of setting the egg in the scoop, I set a circular cleansing pad in the scoop, press once and then use the pad to clean my brushes. I usually let them dry overnight before using them again.
Now onto the sponge.... It leaves foundation looking flawless. You use the sponge with a technique called, dribbling. Apply a small ammount of foundation (it's all you'll need) and then dribble the sponge all over your entire face using a bouncing motion, yet very close to the face. The side of the egg that comes to a rounded point is for areas such as the corners of the nose. While applying your foundation to the corners of the nose with the tip of the sponge- continue using the dribbling technique. I like that you clean the sponge right away after using it because it gets rid of the bacteria left on it from your face. It's a great way to reduce, re-use and recycle. You can use your sponge wet or dry. It swells up to twice its size when it is completely saturated with water. I usually barely wet mine before applying foundation.
You can buy these products seperately, but I would advise buying them as a duo because it's less expensive when you buy them together. I had to buy mine seperately because I was in a hurry to get them after a friend told me all about how great they are. It's the same price on here as it was about a year ago on CherryCulture dot com. I love Amazon, but the shipping can get ridiculous sometimes. You can buy $40 worth of products on CherryCulture and then get free shipping. The only trouble is that they usually sell out of this product fairly fast. So your best bet might just be to buy from here. Especially if they are offering Super Saver Shipping.
I love my Beauty Blender.
This is my first review, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how well this product works that I had to leave some feedback. After having perfect skin for years, my face suddenly went berserk on me in my mid-twenties and nothing I've tried has stopped the breakouts or scarring. So I've been forced to become a major makeup consumer and I'm always on the lookout for anything to make my life easier in the makeup department. I prefer mineral makeup to liquid, and the only way I've found to get adequate coverage is to start with a thick creme concealer (like dermablend) on the blemishes, then go over my whole face with a mineral foundation. Unfortunately this often results in a yucky pancake effect over the concealed areas, and achieving even looking coverage is a real pain. But it's still the best method I've found so far, since an all creme/liquid approach leaves me looking like a geisha and the all mineral "buffing" action tends to buff away any concealing effect and defeat the purpose. So you can see why I'm always on the lookout for anything that might help. Also it is a pain in the butt to keep all of those brushes clean.
BalasHapusSo after trying just about all of the brushes on the market I turned to these sponges out of curiosity. I had high hopes but low expectations, as they seemed pretty gimmicky. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and I figured that even if the sponges were crap that I could use the cleaner on my huge brush collection.
Even though they seemed like they would only be good to use with liquid foundation, I decided to try using them with the mineral foundation first just for the heck of it. Dampened the sponge as suggested (it bloated up rather alarmingly) and sat down at the makeup table expecting a steep learning curve. First I used the pointy end to apply and blend the creme concealer with surprisingly good results. I did have to go over one or two of the darker spots with a small brush, but using the "stippling" motion to blend everything worked well without sacrificing coverage. So far so good. Now for the moment of truth-applying the powder foundation. Usually this involves several minutes of patting, gentle buffing, blending, patting again to replace the coverage that was lost from the buffing, etc. Not with this baby. It took maybe a minute of "stippling" to get an even, non-cakey finish. I probably used half as much product as usual, and there wasn't a huge powdery mess on the table. Pretty shocking. I couldn't believe it was that easy, so I went to check it out in a variety of different lighting, convinced that there must be some streak or blob somewhere that needed fixing. Nope, looks great. I was sold, even used the pointy end to clean up an eye makeup oops without messing up my foundation.
I was ready to post this review then and there, but decided to try out the cleanser first so I could include it. I don't know what the complaints are about, the dispenser worked fine and the sponge cleaned up easily. The lavender smell is a bonus, very nice. Part of the reason it was so easy to clean is that the sponge absorbed almost no product, so everything was just on the surface. Of course I only tried it with powder, it may soak up more liquid foundation. It seems designed to keep the product on the outside, so you don't lose as much foundation (and $$$) by having it sucked into a sponge.
Sorry this review is so long (and probably boring), but when you've tried as many different (and almost invariably disappointing) types of makeup and applicators as I have it always comes as a shock to find a product that works as well as it says it does. This is one. The only caveat is that since I've only used it once I can't vouch for its durability yet, but it claims on the package to last for 3 months. Time will tell.
