Great price but a not so great product. Felt as though the foam blender was going to separate from the base everytime I used it.
The foundation seemed to soak into the blender and not spread evenly. I would not buy this again.

I think i like this tool! It's small and very easy to handle. Very cute and love the color of base. The sponge itself was a little hard for my face. I ended up going back to my foundation brush. I don't think I would buy it again because I like my brush more and the beatyblender more ! I would recommend it for teens or beginers in make up ! :)

I received this product from Chickadvisor as part as their product review club for free. Starting with appearance, this appears to be along the same basic shape as makeup blenders out there, nothing crazy so its very nice to see. I absolutely loved the handle, something to grip on to, and its an added feature to not have makeup or product on your hands. Also the weight of it makes it very easy to use as a balancing feature I guess you could say. As per instructions, I ran the sponge under water and rinsed out excess, but I don't feel like a lot of water was really absorded as the sponge was still fairly firm, making it a tad difficult to buff out any harsh lines. The makeup still applies fairly well so this isn't necessarily a bad thing just requires a different technique when applying makeup. As for cleanup it is definitely a lot easier than cleaning a brush, which is a bonus for me. The handle has a flat base, so when it's not in use I can just stand it up, so it isn't necessarily touching anything and being "contaminated". Overall when it comes to repurchasing its definitely on the list for the average person and makeup application in my books.

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor's Product Review Program.

I initially used this blender with the Dream Velvet Foundation I received in the package but since the colour of that foundation didn't match my skin tone, I decided I'd test it with my regular foundation. It was very easy to use the blender and I absolutely loved the way it's shaped. The pointy tip made it very easy to get into corners and curves of my face and my foundation blended out flawlessly.
The thing I like the most about this blender is the handle on it - unlike other beauty blenders, it's easier to maneuver and apply my makeup without being limited in the amount of sponge I can use. I was also very happy with the price of this product - I know when I need a new blender, I will most definitely be purchasing this one.

First impression: I loved that it had a handle and found it very easy to work with but the sponge was alot firmer than I'm used to, it did not absorb water very well and I found for foundation and liquid concealer it picked up alot of product which left very little to apply, HOW EVER it worked amazing for cream/solid based concealer. It would probably be amazing for blending a cream contour aswell. So for a foundation or liquid concealer I would not reccomend it. But for a cream/solid based concealer or cream contour I'd definitely recommend it.

I'm an avid user of sponges to apply my foundation as they make my makeup look less cakey and I prefer the natural finish it gives me, so I'm always down to try sponges. I didn't expect much from this blender since the sponge looked like my really inexpensive sponges and after trying this out, it pretty much gives me the same result as any regular sponge.

Others may not like the handle, but I like how I have something to hold onto- it gives me more control. Definitely not as bouncy and soft as the famous BeautyBlender, but still works. I will continue to use it since it does an okay job at putting product onto my face. I have a small face as well, so it's easily to get into areas my other sponges can't get into.

Thank you ChickAdvisor for sending me this product to test out!

I love the concept of this but not for applying the foundation .. What it is great for it CONCEALER .. I have been using it for applying and blending in my concealer and its working great but just not for the foundation .. I use a beauty blender or a sigma f80 cause they give better coverage and way less time ... I will be using this for concealer thou and it works great for that

Sometimes I feel like drugstore brands release products to mimic products that are trending. Sometimes these beauty products are a little gimmicky. This is how I feel about the Dream Blender. While I can't confirm that the Dream Blender is suppose to mimic the Beauty Blender, I can say for certain that the two are incomparable. I use my Beauty Blender by I soaking it under running water and squeezing out the excess water. It expands to double the size and blends makeup like a dream. Unfortunately, when I soak the dream blender under running water as directed, water does not absorb into the hard sponge. When it does, it sits just under the surface, and does nothing in making the sponge softer. While I like the handle, it makes no difference in the application process. The most important part of this product - the sponge itself - is hard and stiff. I don't feel like it truly is blending the makeup into my skin. Rather, while I'm patting the makeup with the sponge, it seems to just sit on the surface of my skin or absorb into the sponge. The shape seems to be a great size for blending under the eyes, but again, it didn't do a good job blending out my concealer. Overall, I did not like the product, nor do I recommend it. I think cosmetic wedges do a better job at blending out makeup.

I think that the Maybelline Dream blender is both positive and negative. In the positive side, this blender is really soft on the skin and small enough so that I can put it inside my purse or makeup case. It also takes the foundation well on the sponge. On the negative side, I think that it does not blend well on my skin. When I start blending with the blender, it forms different patches on my face, especially on my forehand. Once you blend a bit too much, the sponge absorbs all the foundation. Overall, theis blender is useful and really smooth.

This beauty blender definitely made a difference in the application of my foundation. It blended my product seamlessly along my jaw and hair lines and gave my foundation a more natural appearance.
