Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge: First Impression

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge 

Here's the sponge dry and at it's original size

And here's it when it's soaked in water and expanded

Now please excuse my weird faces..

 

Starting off with a clean face.

I applied Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in True Ivory by putting a few pumps on the back of my hand and dabbing it all over my face with the flat side of the sponge.

 

 Then I used the curved side to blend it in by kind of bouncing it along until my foundation looked more or less seamless.

I then a applied  Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in True Ivory to the places where it goes straight from the wand thing..

And blend blend blend! I used the pointed end for under my eyes and around my nose.

And voile la! I didn't really need to apply either foundation or concealer on this particular day because I was having a good skin day but I just wanted to try the sponge out :D

So my thoughts;

 I like it! It didn't blow my mind or anything and it hasn't converted me to sponges but I'm defiantly going to mix between my expert makeup brush and this. I don't know if it's just because I have bouncy skin (people have actually told me i have bouncy skin XD) but I found the bouncing motion for blending a little weird. Not a bad weird but still weird.. I did find however, that I love it for blending out my concealer rather then using my fingers. 

It says on the box to wash it after 1-3 washes so I'm going to wash it after 2. I've washed it once already and noticed that the foundation stain is still there somewhat. It doesn't bother me much because I'm not a germaphobe or anything but after a while it may become gross.

So all in all I think it's a pretty good sponge especially for the value. It seamlessly blend the product and is extremely easy to  use so in the morning if I'm running late and look sleep deprived I can whack on so concealer and dab dab dab and run! 

So rating out of 10, 1 being "what even is this?" and 10 being "my precious!" I'd give it a 8 which is good because 8 is my favourite number :)

 Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed ^.^
