Microfiber Rosé Velvet Sponge

I am usually a brush girl. I love a good foundation brush and usually finish up with a sponge to make sure everything is blended. I’ve tried many sponges but always usually return to the Beautyblender. This Juno sponge is my new favorite for many reasons. First off it’s super soft, and gets huge when moistened. I can purchase 3 for the price of one beautyblender which makes it extra sweet. I love the way it blends concealer into the skin leaving it looking airbrushed and flawless. I originally purchased the pink one and love the flat pointed end for getting into hard to reach places. For $6 you can’t go wrong with this Fabulous sponge.

I really like using this sponge, and I especially appreciate the price point. It is ultra soft and does not absorb as much product as some of the other sponges. I’m pretty sure I’m a Juno convert now.

I don't typically wear liquid foundation, so I can't speak to that functionality of this sponge, but I love that it works for powder products. I've used it dry to apply powder, blush, and highlighter. At first, it applies slightly heavier than a brush typically would, so I use a clean side to blend it out and it's perfect!

I'm especially excited about the prospect of bringing this sponge with me while traveling, rather than packing multiple brushes! Even if you're also using liquid or cream products, you could pack a couple of these sponges and that would be all you need to apply your face makeup. Plus, you can't beat the $6 price!

I feel like I’ve used this product adequately to leave a proper review. For starters I will say that the quality is nice and it does have a fuzzy velvet feel. It is heavier than a beauty blender and a bit wider. I use liquid foundation, followed by concealer under the eyes, and often a very quick hit of powder to bake my concealer. I will say that for general liquid foundation the product works fine and is more blurring than a BB. I don’t feel like it retained water as well as your normal BB, but it’s not as porous so that wasn’t surprising. The bottom is oldly shaped and does not aid in the makeup process. I struggled blending out my concealer. This product left a clear mark of demarcation and would not blend my concealer into my foundation. The velvet base material made the concealer tacky and stick to it, which completely removed portions of the concealer from my face. When I switched to my BB for the concealer portion, it blended fine as it always does. So I would say if you have a simply routine of concealer only, you’d probably love this. I am however not a fan of having to use a separate applicator when I could simply use my BB flawlessly for both processes.
