Beauty Blenders... All of us beauty fanatics have the hype for the beauty blender and how magical it is. Here's the real question: Is it REALLY worth it? Or is it overrated?

First of all, I've used the Beauty Blender and the knock-off sponges shaped like a beauty blender. Personally, I always have cakey foundation on whenever I apply it with a brush... Or the foundation may be a shade off but you can tell the big difference between your face and neck/chest. Also, I hate it when the foundation on my nose gets really cakey (one of the most oily areas of my face). So it's very hard to get a balance for it to not look cakey, but also have the flawless, "real" finish. So I decided to try sponges...

First, I tried the knock-off beauty blender shaped sponges. I wasn't amazed at the results at all. Worst of all, I felt like the sponges got dirtier and dirtier inside because the bacteria/leftover foundation (even after a few washes) would roughen the sponge. If you decide to not use your sponge for nearly a month, it becomes as hard as a rock...
