Up & Up, likes to make cheaper versions of many items featured at Target. My Grade: Dīelow, you will see my review on the blender by Sonia Kashuk (also featured at Target). Like the other harder sponges below, it makes a thumping noise when you pat it against your face. Think of it as a really soft handball that you can squeeze. This hard to judge because the texture is REALLY different from the Beauty Blender. Ugh how horrible! To use it, you’re supposed to slightly dampen it, & then you can put the foundation on your face. I soaked it the 1st time I used it, & it went into the texture of a silly putty ball. It’s different than all the others, that you’re not supposed to soak it.

I think that’s why there’s such a craze with them: they are multi-faceted & give you an airbrushed look (without airbrushing). You can use them with blush, concealer, & contouring.
