Beauty Blender Pro - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Beauty Blender has come out with a new version, their Beauty Blender Pro. Same great sponge, just a different color. I love my Beauty Blender sponges and don't think I could do my beauty routine without them. Sure, sometimes I like to use a brush to apply my foundation but the Beauty Blender will always give me a flawless look and seamless blending! Check out my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics!

Beauty Blender Pro












Beauty Blender Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $19.95 (1 fl oz full size). Available on the Beauty Blender website, at Sephora (sold in a 2-pack only at this time), on Beauty.com, and everywhere else Beauty Blender is sold.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

The Beauty Blender Pro is just like the original; same material just a different color. A true omage to professional makeup artists around the world.

Beauty Blender's patent-pending elliptical shape makes application fool-proof by allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas with stunning ease. Its suede texture is sensual to the touch and its unique curves fit the contours of your face, leaving makeup dazzling and undetectable. Latex-free, non-allergenic and odor free.

I love my Beauty Blenders! I started with the original pink version, but that was stolen from me years ago when I had a photography studio and I was helping some models do their makeup. I then got the Beauty Blender Pure - which is also the same sponge, just no color (and that was originally marketed towards applying skincare - but I just used it for makeup). And now there is the black version, which is a nice chic color and still the same great Beauty Blender!

I always dampen my Beauty Blender before using it to apply my liquid foundations and concealers. It flawlessly blends in my makeup every single time. I do what I call the "Beauty Blender Bounce" to get my makeup on and although doing it that way takes a bit more time, the results are flawless. I still use their Solid Cleanser to clean my Beauty Blenders, but I'm almost out of that so I will be re-purchasing soon.

There are tons of imitators of this sponge, and I've tried a few of them, and none of them can come close to this. You may wonder how a sponge shaped nearly identical couldn't give you the same results, but once you try a Beauty Blender and then a knock-off you will realize the difference is worlds apart. The Beauty Blender is soft and applies makeup without hurting your face. Just about every single knock-off I've tried has been a much harder, firmer sponge that doesn't have the same texture, quality or application results. Skip buying the knock-offs and invest in the real deal. Buy in a two-pack to save some money because you'll want more than one (at least I think you will).

Love the Beauty Blender and will continue to recommend it!

Beauty Blender Pure Kit

Hello, Beautiful!

I think I just found my new must-have beauty tool: the Beauty Blender Pure Kit! If you like the original Beauty Blender sponge (you know, that amazing pink sponge), you'll love the new Pure Kit! Designed for applying skincare, but also useful for makeup application, this sponge has been so helpful since receiving it. Check out my full review at the bottom of this post, but for now, check out the pics...

Includes:
This kit includes three pieces to help you apply your skincare or makeup with ease. You'll receive the Beauty Blender Pure Sponge... it's just as good as the pink original, but without the color. You'll also receive a 1oz Solid BlenderCleanser, which is just as good as their liquid version but in a travel-friendly formula. Plus, you'll receive a Beauty Blender Air Bag - which has magnetic closure and mesh around, allowing air flow. Both the cleanser and the sponge fit in the bag.

Beauty Blender Pure Kit Review:
I no longer own the original Beauty Blender sponge (it got stolen from me a few years ago when I had a photography studio and a model I worked with swiped it). I loved it so much and missed my sponge. Just recently I saw the Beauty Blender Pure Kit and was really intrigued by it. I loved the fact that it was designed for applying skincare products. It makes perfect sense and something I really never thought about using a sponge for. However, you can use this sponge for regular makeup application as well.

I've used it both ways, and I like it for makeup application but also love it for skincare application. I felt like everything went on better and really was being pressed into my skin, getting a better benefit from it. I also used the sponge for makeup application and had flawless results.

I was worried that the sponge wouldn't clean up well after the makeup application, but it cleaned up perfectly and very easily. Overall, I really love this kit and would recommend you pick one up. This is one of those purchases that is a beauty investment. You'll use this sponge everyday and the cleanser as often as you like to clean your sponge (I like to clean my sponge after every 1 or 2 uses). You may not use the bag every day, but I've been keeping both the sponge and the cleanser in the bag together.
