Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge




















































I can't believe I am actually writing this, but I think I'm in love with using a sponge to apply my foundation. The entire idea of it seemed a bit retro to me to be honest; reminding me of my school days where I'd use those cheap multi-packs of triangle sponges to slap on some foundation. Anyone remember those?

Nevertheless, £4.99 didn't seem a bad deal and I've been itching to try the beauty blender so I thought why the hell not? & I'm so so glad I did! After running it under the tap and squeezing any excess water out I started 'bouncing' it all around my face. The finish and coverage this baby gives is brilliant! Dare I say it, even better than my RT buffing brush. 

The only niggle I've found is that its seriously hard to clean. & for someone like myself that struggles with blemishes it probably isn't the most hygienic product. For £4.99 though it's something that I would happily repurchase when this one has gotten a little bit too grubby. 

Have you tried any of the blender sponges flying around yet?

      I'd definitely check it out if I were you! I've never tried the original beauty blender but I've heard that this is a good dupe. x

    I bought this, used it once and didn't really get on with it. I'll definitely have to give the 'bouncing' technique a go though as everyone seems to love it! x

      Aw that's a shame. You should definitely give it another try, I think it takes a little mix around to find a way that works for you! x

    I absolutely loooooove my beauty blender, although it is probably seriously gross now and needs to be thrown away. Really want to try this I can't believe how cheap it is!

      I'd love to try the original beauty blender! You should try this one out next cus' it's a fraction of the price and it'd be interesting to know your opinion on how they compare :) x
