Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge Review

By Audrey Dao, on June 29th, 2010,

Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge ($9.99) I’ve been curious about the Beauty Blender, but I’m not willing to shell out $20. Can you imagine my excitement when I found a blending sponge for much less? I don’t know how Sonia Kashuk’s Blending Sponge compares to the Beauty Blender because I have never used the Beauty Blender.

I have to admit, I did notice a difference after using the blending sponge to apply my foundation compared to when I used a foundation brush to apply. The finish looked more natural and more blended. I would have to say it provided a flawless airbrushed finish. The sponge is firm and very easy to control and hold. You wet the sponge before using and bounce the sponge against your face to apply the foundation. The shape of the sponge allows you to reach all the nooks and crannies of your face. Even with all the raves, I have to mention I did notice the sponge absorbing quite a bit of liquid foundation. I wash the sponge after every use, and I’m not quite sure how long the sponge will last. Crossing my fingers it will last awhile because I do not want to have to constantly shell out $10 for a sponge.

My Thoughts:

I really like this concealer because it covers up my blemishes and occasional under eye circles (late night cram sessions will do that to you). Not only is it a concealer, but it’s color correctors too! Use the green to minimize redness. Use yellow to minimize dark circles. I heard the concealer isn’t oil-free which may be the reason why it doesn’t last all day. It’s really easy to blend, and the brushes that come with it aren’t that bad either, but I prefer to use my own concealer brush. The best thing about this concealer is the price! Normally you have to buy all these concealers seperately, but this concealer set comes with everything you need!
