Product reviews of Beautyblender + Blendercleanser Combo, The Ultimate MakeUp Sponge Applicator + Cleanser
Review: Beautyblender
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I love this product. Have been using it for a few years but recently had issues ordering it directly from the manufacturer so came to trusty Amazon to order it. I love the beautyblender for foundation application. Nothing blends better. And the addition of a cleanser with it for a clean freak like me = love! Review: Doesn't work well with my foundation

I tried the Beautyblender with Lancome Color Ideal makeup and it did not work well at all. It just seemed to absorb most of the foundation instead of spreading it nicely on my face. When it was time to clean the sponge with the cleanser, I had to use a lot of cleanser and scrub and scrub, and the sponge would still not come totally clean. This could be because my foundation has SPF in it or is oil free, but I still think the sponge is overrated. I feel like a fool for paying so much for a goofy pink egg and strongly scented cleanser. I never use it and hope to sell it if I can get it clean enough. A foundation brush works so much better. Review: Love it!

This sponge is the best one I have ever used. It is great for blending concealer, and especially for blending around areas like your nose or eyes. I originally read about it in a magazine, and pre-ordered it from amazon as I couldn't find it anywhere else. The price point is a little intimidating, but after having used it for a few months, I believe the excellent quality makes it a good value.
A few notes about using the cleanser:
The cleanser is dispensed from the bottle by gently pushing the sponge down on the pedestal (exactly like the picture, you just push down and a small amount of cleanser is dispensed directly on to the sponge. Although generally I wouldn't buy cleanser this expensive, I am happy that I have it. It has a very light lavender fragrance and is gentle and soy-based. You don't need very much (about the size of a dime, which is what is dispensed if you use the bottle as directed) if you are cleaning your sponge on a regular basis. If you haven't cleaned it in a few days you might need to repeat a few times, but eventually the makeup will all come out.
Overall, I am very happy with this sponge and will be buying more as gifts for friends and family. I would recommend buying the 2-pack if purchasing from amazon, as it's a better value, and you'll have an extra one for travel, or to alternate between the sponges if you don't feel like cleaning them all the time! I did notice that the beautyblender website sells this sponge & cleanser combination for a lower price than amazon (plus shipping though), so you may also want to shop around a bit before making this small investment!
Review: Love it, but takes time to clean!

The Beautyblender is a great sponge for makeup application, but cleaning it takes time. The Blendercleanser deposits too much soap on the sponge which requires quite a bit of time to rinse clean. Review: Poor Quality

I've used large blending sponges for many years and the brand I loved is no longer being made, so I searched the internet for a long time to try to find replacements. I thought this brand would work. But as I use it, the sponge disintergrates. I wind up with tiny hot pink specks on my face. Either the ones I ordered are old and already deteriorating or the product is flawed. I would not buy these again. Unfortunately I did not keep the receipt so I will have to eat the cost. I ordered the cleanser too, so hopefully it will be a better product that I can use on other blending sponges.
