DUPE ALERT!! Beauty Blender

So if you are a beauty junkie like me, I can guarantee that you've heard of the Beauty Blender. The little pink egg shaped sponge that is pretty much a gift from the makeup Gods when it comes to makeup application. (I have THREE of them because they are just that good) This little sponge gives your foundation and concealer such a flawless even finish! All you do is run it under warm water until it grows to about twice it's normal size and squeeze it out and pounce it on your skin to apply your liquid makeup with it damp. The egg shape is ideal for getting underneath your eyes for concealer. 

The Beauty blender runs about $20 on the Sephora website and that's a little pricey for a makeup sponge if you ask me (even if it isn't just your average everyday makeup sponge)! Well, I watched itsbl0ndie's video on YouTube where she found a dupe for the beauty blender and I had to try it out for myself! The Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge (I found mine at ULTA) works just as wonderfully! It really is a perfect dupe and for a fraction of the price! 6 BUCKS!!! It has a unique shape that also makes it easy for under eye application and it's just as soft and fluffy! So go out to ULTA and get you one ladies, or visit the Real Techniques website, you won't be disappointed!

Also, a quick side note-  to clean these you can just use Dawn dish soap! Be gentle so you don't rip the sponge! ;) it's extremely important to clean all your brushes and sponges every 1-2 weeks as needed to avoid irritating your skin!

Thanks for reading!!!
