Anywho down to the review! I ordered this Etude House Baby Doll Puff from eBay after seeing it featured on Popblush's blog. It took around exactly 2 weeks to arrive from South Korea (I ordered it the day before I left for Melbourne and a day or so after I arrived back it arrived at my mailbox!). It was $9.20AU + Free Shipping and I've been using it ever since!
I've been looking for a beauty sponge after seeing how foundation application looks so flawlessly awesome and effortless and I just love the blending ability of this little sponge. To me it's more than just a typical cosmetic sponge, it has these grooves to maneuver into the crevices of the face. Also when I finish applying my foundation I like to buff out the excess and make my face looked polished with this sponge as well.
So for $9.20 it's pretty good, I never owned those infamous beauty blender sponges but I heard these ones are just as good. Obviously the beauty blender would probably be x10 better in quality considering how they're $40 but this would definitely do for those who are trying out sponge applicators (like me!) and also on a budget. I believe in the US there is a Sonia Kashuk one just like this but in blue (available in US Target) for like $3-4US? But what I saw on eBay was like $12AU...
Apparently you're suppose to wet this sponge for a better application or something but I have bounded to try that out. Overall, I adore this product and use it in conjunction with my Sigma Brushes and alternating between the sponge and the brushes. For me this is like a polisher/buffer for my face.
Have you tried any beauty sponges or would you like to try them?
Also, I'll be doing a guest post on Makeup&Macaroons in the following week or so so keep your eyes out for that!
Love, J.
