InnoGear Cosmetic Foundation Blending Applicator Reviews Summary

Quality and Texture

Pros:

• "These are super soft and come with 2 styles: rounded butt & beveled butt."
• "Really soft and pretty average size/ maybe a little bigger even!"
• "These sponges are EXCELLENT! - very similar texture to the original BB."
• "They feel like real techniques. Wash them well before first use and they get softer."
• "They are so soft and I'm able to apply my foundation in a smooth and even layer."
• "These are THE BEST sponges I have bought on here. They are SO SOFT, blend product like a dream, and do not absorb a ton of product."
• "Great dupe! Unlike other knockoff beauty blenders, once damp it is super bouncy, soft, blends makeup beautifully and does not absorb too much makeup."

Cons:

• "The material feel tougher than a beauty blender and it soaks up most of the product."
• "They have a funny smell when you open them so I washed it and squished it to get the water out and it just stayed all smushed."
• "The material for these sponges feel like pencil erasers, they are very tough to clean and also don’t do a good job of blending the makeup."
• "These are too firm, making your foundation really uneven, patchy, and textured."
• "It feels like a piece of rubber bouncing off my face."
• "They are way too firm even when you get them slightly wet."
• "These are very hard and do not at all blend out product."

Packaging and Sanitation

Pros:

• "I like it because it’s cheaper than others and individual packaged."
• "They last a long time and they come in a resealable bag."
• "I love how the blenders where individually packaged in the bag."
• "Each sponge comes individually wrapped which is nice because it keeps them sanitized."
• "Sponges come individually wrapped inside package which is great for these Covid times when your clients expect high safety/sanitation."
• "Individually packed inside a larger bag. Much easier to clean than the name brand. I can rewash them and they hold up."
• "They come individually wrapped. The description is correct for this item."

Cons:

• "These also come individually wrapped in plastic, inside another plastic bag. How disgustingly wasteful."
• "This time the bag came opened and missing 2 sponges, definitely dissapointed."
• "I won’t buy this again. It has very strong smell."
• "They're fine. And had I looked at the measurements I'm sure I could have figured out that they're small."
• "These were difficult to clean (more so than other brands I've tried) and three of the colors bled quite a bit of dye when rinsing them out."
• "I love that it comes with so many but it wasn’t very easy to clean the makeup is stained and it’s very hard to clean off no matter what I do."
• "These are nice sponges but they do not clean well at all. They are good as disposable sponges which makes the value for the cost decrease."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "These are great for the price and much cheaper."
• "This was the best value I have found!"
• "Great value for my money."
• "You get what you pay for."
• "For the price, these are amazing and durable."
• "These are $8.99/10 = 90¢ per sponge!$60 vs $8.99, they work just the same!"
• "10 pieces of awesome beauty blender is value for your money."

Cons:

• "The product just sits on the surface."
• "The dye bleeds out when you run the sponge under hot water - probably not good for your skin."
• "Cheap sponges and low quality sponges. There are other higher grade sponges (same amount of sponges) for the same price on amazon."
• "Even cheap is not worth it when the product just isn’t good."
• "They are a little too firm for my liking."
• "I will not be re ordering."
• "They are so IMPOSSIBLE to clean."

• "Do not purchase the multi colored sponges. I used it once and as soon as I started cleaning it, the color immediately bled."
