Beauty Blender - magic sponge for foundation

Blacktulip

Does anyone know if I can buy the beauty blender to the dublin airport?

I would like to get it but actually it's a bit pricey so because I'm living for 10 day on saturday I though I could buy it at the airport.

This sponge does an amazing work with the foundation and concealer too.. the final result is very natural and even if you are wearing a very heavy foundation you wouldnt get a mask effect or something like this.

Brilliant!!!

I was in the airport at the end of October and I didn't see this there.

There are more generic brands of this though that you can get on ebay for half the price.

I'd be interested in buying it as well.

Oh I want now!! Their site say they only have two stockists in Ireland, neither being the Airport!

Sephora have their own brand of this which is really good. Sephora.fr will deliver to Ireland as far as i know.

Is there a lot of product wastage with it? Really want this now, I bought a **** load of brushes recently but still prefer using sponges most of the time for foundation, although they have their limitations!

Someone mentioned a Sephora brand one, what's the price like?

Right, cool. Went down and it's €9.90. Very good quality and nice and stiff whilst still being a bit spongey. But I've just had a look at their website and it's not there. If you really want it pm me and if it's possible before I leave on friday I might be able to pick it up for you

ABsolutely brilliant site.

Just ordered the beauty blender off this crowd for $18 along with 3 other brushes ($39 for everything). Post and Packaging only came to $6 and was here in less than a week:eek: Brushes seem to be of excellent standard (very similar to Mac) and am looking forward to trying the beauty blender. Didn't realise that it can also be used with the mineral powder foundations.

I was surprised how quick it arrived as it was coming from USA. I put an order in to Look Fantastic.com last month and it took 3 and a half weeks to arrive despite numerous emails to them querying its whereabouts.

A+ for makeupgeek!

Sorry for bumping this thread, but for all the people who bought the beauty blender, are you still using it? Is it still as good as you first thought. Would love to get one but don't want to buy into it if it's just a fad, or just a load of hype about another new product?

Fiii

I got the Sephora version of it it while in the States at the start of the year. I bought it because I'd seen so many people on YouTube raving about it, and thought I would give it a go.
To be honest, it sat in my makeup stand for months unloved, until one day I cleaned my brushes so they were all wet, and I realised I had nothing to blend my makeup in with (and the foundation I was using didn't lend itself to using your hands!) so I whipped this out and gave it a whirl.
I can honestly say I have never seen my skin look better/ more natural!
I'm still using it now, and love it just as much.

The trick is to wet it - soak it through and squeeze it out.
I then dab my foundation on in spots around my face, dip the sponge into the remaining foundation, and then dab the sponge all over - almost like you're bouncing it off your face

I would def recommend it!
