REVIEW: The Original Beauty Blender in Pink

The Original Beauty Blender

I've always wanted an original Beauty Blender. However, in Malaysia, you can't find them in stores but I have found them online. There are many online sites that sell them and the price ranges from RM72-RM200 I'd suppose depending on which set you get.

The Beauty Blender is definitely a luxury makeup blending sponge. It's not super expensive but it's definitely on a pricier side. Therefore, I would suggest you to think it over before splurging on such a sponge. There are many dupes on the market that are way cheaper but I honestly think that they don't do the job as well.

How I decided on purchasing the Beauty Blender:

As I said, it is pricey for a makeup sponge. I have been thinking about it for over a year now and finally made up my mind when Luxola sent me a RM50 cash voucher. Yes, one of the sites which sold the Beauty Blender was www.luxola.com. It retails for RM72 for the original pink sponge on that site and once I received the cash voucher, I figured spending it on the Beauty Blender would save me so much and I'd get free shipping.So, I did that and the parcel arrived 3 days later. (For me, thanks to Luxola, the Beauty Blender came with free shipping and only cost me RM22) Thank you LUXOLA!

First Impression:

It always accured to me that the Beauty Blender was quite big. But when it came, it was so small. I felt super disappointed I just needed to go online (was quite ignorant) and do my research on the Beauty Blender and then I learnt that I'd have to run it under water and it'll expand *magic*.

Here are some pictures to show you the amazing size difference :)

Big difference eyh? Not to mention that the Beauty Blender is way softer than other dupes around. I did use it for my Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream and yes, it did a super great job in making my base makeup look so natural!

Questions asked:

1. Do I have to wash my Beauty Blender after every use?

Ans: Not necessarily but it is best to do so.

2. Why is my Beauty Blender growing mold?

Ans: Mold grows due to moisture and dirt in the air and also poor ventilation.

3. How do I prevent mold from growing on my Beauty Blender?

Ans: Keep your Beauty Blender where there is good ventilation. NEVER keep you damp Beauty Blender in a plastic bag or container where the ventilation is poor. 

4. How do I prolong my Beauty Blender's lifespan?

Ans: Always make sure your Beauty Blender is washed frequently and stored in an open space where it can dry properly. Also prevent using long nails to scrape and squeeze your Beauty Blender.

The pros:

1. Even makeup finish

2. Saves time

3. Uses less base makeup

The cons:

1. Pricey

2. Takes time to clean and pink dye from the sponge does come out when washing

See what I mean? 

However, WOULD I REPURCHASE The BEAUTY BLENDER? YES!!
