L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Blend Artist Makeup Blender Sponge, 0.8 oz

Great Price, Great Quality

This is my favorite makeup sponge, I honestly like it just as much as the beauty blender and this comes in at such a better price. I also prefer this over the real techniques sponges (those have a great texture and can be found even cheaper when the combo packs go on sale, but they irritate my skin somehow), and I also do prefer this over any of the many other brands' beauty blender style sponges I've tried. The L'Oreal one looks like maybe it won't be soft enough at first, but when you add water it definitely does expand quite a bit and get softer, and (most importantly) it applies various types of foundation, concealer, and other liquid products really well when damp. It also can handle quite a few deep cleanings before it starts developing small tears, as long as you're mindful of your fingernails. It's definitely worth trying one at the amazon price.

I've always wanted to try Beauty Blender products, but the price hurts. So I decided to try this blender from L'Oreal. I'm certainly glad I did, too. I've used mine over two months, and it is still in good shape. It really does blend cream or liquid makeup beautifully, and it adds just a minute or two versus using my fingers. I've never found a foundation brush I like. And this works better than my fingers. I don't care what Wayne Goss says. After use, I rinse and blot on a paper towel to remove excess makeup. Once a week I soak it in a cup of water with some Cerave foaming cleanser, then rinse repeatedly, and again, blot it on a paper towel. You really can't get makeup out of it by washing. But water, or soap and water will float 90% of the makeup to the outside of the sponge, where it is easily transferred to a paper towel, or an absorbent cloth. Makeup stains things, so once you've used it, it will never look clean, but it is if you care properly for it. Think of it as beige dye. Two wings up from me. The price is right, it works, and I'm betting I get a good four months of use.

This sponge is my favorite of all the sponges that I’ve tried (and there’s a whole lot of them)! I’m a makeup artist, so when looking for a quality sponge, I was buying the original beauty blender for $20 EACH. An influencer I follow on social media said she loved this sponge and when I saw it was under $10, I jumped at the suggestion, I never looked back! It’s definitely as soft (if not softer!) to the beauty blender and I love the shape; I feel it’s easier to hold. I would recommend to any and everyone who loves doing makeup and saving money! ••See photos for dry to damp comparison•• [Thought I should add: I still really love the original Beauty Blender, but this is seriously just as amazing and I feel way better about the price!]

This just feels quality foam, and I find the shape easy to hold, easy to maneuver to blend with - the most favorite makeup sponge I have ever used!

This sponge is better than I expected it to be! When I use it, I run it under water and then squeeze out the excess so it is not soaking wet, but damp. And it does expand quite a bit as well once damp. I feel like it is softer and has more bounce than my real techniques sponge, but I would say that they blend the same (I am actually preferring this one as of now). I use this sponge for my foundation and concealer, and it works great. I wash it after every use, and have had no problem with it tearing or anything like that. For a drugstore sponge, it has held up better than I thought it would. Glad I gave it a try!

Overall, this is a good beauty blender, it is moderately soft, applies the foundation very well and nicely. I was extremely happy with it until the first wash... I have purchased this blender two times, and both of them cracked after the first wash. But because it is very hard to find a good beauty blender, I think I will purchase this item again in the future, especially when it is really good for the price.

Great product. It is absolutely worth the money.
