The BEAUTYBLENDER Ivy Blender Makeup Sponge for Blending Liquid Foundations, Powders and Creams. Flawless, Professional Streak Free Application Blend, Vegan, Cruelty Free and Made in The USA

Tried this because of reviews about how great it is. THIS THING IS HORRIBLE!!! I washed it after using it and let it dry in the open and noticed little black specks on it after about the 3rd time washing and drying it and found out that it is MOLD GROWING ON IT!!! Did some research and everyone that has bought this item it has happened. I just through it in the garbage. Do not buy this.

The beauty blender is suppose to increase in size once wet. This did not so therefore it is fake. It's also not the same consistency as the real one. Sorry my beauty blender is dirty. But these two are both wet and the REAL one is to the left & it has expanded in size. DO NOT BUY FAKE!!!!

These blenders are not manufactured by the beauty blender company; they are a knockoff of the brand. The plastic container says "the original beaty blender makeup sponge" and on the REAL beauty blender packaging it says "wet.squeeze.bounce" under the name. The differences between a real one and this one are very noticeable once taken out of the container. Its not as soft and squishy and when you wet this, it becomes very large and feels almost coarse and rough, then never fully shrinks back down to normal size once dry. Luckily I had a real blender to compare this to. I will most definitely be returning for a refund.

"The Original Beauty Blenders" are amazing and will fix just about any makeup mistake or shenanigan by blending it for the gods! This makeup tool really gives a nice airbrush look to one's makeup. It can be used with any type of makeup, cream foundations, setting powders, eye shadows, pigments, eye pencils, etc.The knock off beauty blenders don't work as well, as they are not made of the same space age materials. I have no idea what material "The Original Beauty Blender" is made of, but this is $20 well spent for anyone's makeup toolkit!

I used this to apply concealer around my eyes & within a few weeks of occasional use (I don't wear make-up daily) little pieces started to come off around the tip. Also, every time I rinsed the sponge, the water was bright pink! I bought this because of all the rave reviews I kept reading about it in every magazine I seemed to look at - but surely this can't be how they are supposed to perform? Very disappointing.

The sponge I received was NOT the original beautyblender. It is much smaller and feels like horribly cheap made material. I have had many beautyblenders in the past and this is not it.

I used this as soon as I got it. It doesn’t expand as much as my original beautyblender. I started not to purchase it and instead purchase the one that is sold separately. In my experience when something is heavily discounted it isn’t the original product.I also just applied a little concealer on my first use. I couldn’t wash all of it out. I have both the liquid and solid cleanser. I was very gentle and the wash brush slightly ripped it. I just got it yesterday.I’m still going to purchase the original and see if there’s a difference. I think I’m going to pass on the combo though.The photo I included is after one use of concealer. I would’nt purchase again.

SMOOTH BLEND: The award winning aqua-activated sponge grows to about twice its size when wet, and absorbs minimal product so your formula lands on your complexion and not your sponge. Bounce and blend the soft sponge to a smooth finish.MULTI USE MAKEUP SPONGE: The ORIGINAL BEAUTYBLENDER is the perfect partner for any highlighter, foundation or concealer. The large rounded surface area of the sponge ensures a quick application, while the contoured tip offers precision. Perfect for anyone on the go.HIGH QUALITY: The ORIGINAL Pink sponge is safe to use on your skin with non-toxic, water-soluble dyes. BEAUTYBLENDER sponges can last up to 6 months based on use. These blenders are cruelty free and vegan, and made in the USA.FLAWLESS: The ORIGINAL sponge leaves you looking fresh and flawless similar to any professional-styling contouring, highlighting and concealing tool.COLOR: The ORIGINAL sponge comes in a classic pink. Your sponge may shed dye the first few times—like a pair of jeans. But once you squeeze the water out the dye is removed as well. The dye will not transfer from the sponge onto your skin.

After I received this item I bought another beauty blender from Boots to compare the two. The writing and design on packaging of the original is shiny and reflective. Don’t waste your money, it’s FAKE!!!!!

This isn’t the ‘original beauty blender’… I ordered this for my mum as she likes mine so much.Compared to the original, this is much softer, and it falls apart after a few uses. Can’t believe they’re being allowed to sell this as a genuine when it most certainly isn’t.Save your money and buy from a genuine resell site such as beauty bay where you know what you get will be genuine.

For the price you pay I wouldn’t recommend this sponge, it stores the foundation even when washed and it comes apart. The cheaper sponges do the job better

Counterfeit product. Do not buy! This is not a genuine beauty blender. Having purchased several genuine ones from official sources, this one is quite different. Different size, different texture, different packaging.

This product was a fake. Very noticeable when comparing packaging and material of sponge to the original blender. Original is £17 this fake was £14 which makes no sense.
