      I bet those 3 middle sponges are private labeled and made by the same company/ factory. It would be interesting to find out! I learned all about private labeling by StephanieNicole and Morphe specifically private labels almost all of their products. Not throwing shade at Morphe , just interesting to learn the ins and outs of the beauty industry!

      +rissanicole you're wetting it right ? also, make sure you buy it in store because some online people "selling" it, are selling fakes ( I got a fake one) and it was a terrible 1st impression, until my Best Friend grabbed me a 2pack from ulta and it was totally different!! that's when I realized I bought a fake.

  • @bethcrawford4896
    @bethcrawford4896 8 лет назад +9

    There may be dozens of other "sponge" reviews on RUclips, but you still managed to make it unique with sponges I had never seen before.

    Just like your review about the Ulta sponges, I bought it before watching your video but didn't use it until this morning. It absorbed all of my concealer and didn't cover my under eyes. Your reviews on products are truly helpful. Love watching your videos 😊

  • @neasap
    @neasap 8 лет назад +31

    a really good time to get a beauty blender is in the sephora fave boxes. I was going to by one awhile back and saw there was a box for $40 that had like 6 other products, including the blender. So I basically paid the extra twenty for a laura highlight, lippman polish, tarte blush, roller lash and lipstick. I love those curated boxes

    The Beauty Blender is made of a patented material so there will never (never say never) be an exact dupe. But, you can obviously get great results from other ones. I had the pink and then got the black and I agree, I can't see any difference! (Mine is covered with dog hair too lol)

    • @cortneynichols8537
      @cortneynichols8537 8 лет назад +2

      I've definitely been looking for a good affordable one so I don't have to keep paying so much, thanks so much Kathleen!!! I've never heard of most of these

    • @itsmejay8406
      @itsmejay8406 8 лет назад +19

      Once the patent runs out on the Beauty Blender every company is gonna come out with one, and for way less money. Dupes galore!

    • @AgentDoubleS

      I use it to apply my setting powder. I take the flat side , dip it into my powder & set my under eyes & for baking. It works well for pressing in the powder. As for it leaving texture, make sure you realllly squeeze out all of the water & then I take a paper towel or clean towel & give it a few squeezes to get any remaining water out.
