I have used cosmetic sponges in the past but nothing like the Maybelline New York Dream Blender. It is basically a tear drop shaped sponge on a stick. I found the sponge to be soft and dense. I used this blender dry as I wanted a fuller coverage with my foundation. This blender was a bit awkward to use but it did actually did a good job of blending and spreading my foundation.

I would have preferred if there wasn't a stick on this sponge as for me this would make it easier to use. I also would have liked the sponge to be a bit bigger so I could cover more surface area. I did like the tear drop shape as it contoured to the curves of my face and I could get into hard to reach areas like around the nose.

I did wash this sponge and found that I couldn't get it as clean as I would have liked to. I found myself worrying that if I scrubbed too hard that it would pop right off the handle.

Overall, this is a unique tool to keep your hands clean while applying foundation and it does a decent job of evenly spreading foundation without any streaks.

I received this product free of charge from Chick Advisor for review purposes.

I was super excited to test out the dream blender when I received it in the mail but unfortunately after giving it a go, I was VERY disappointed. The sponge was so dense that it actually hurt my face. Even after wetting it, it stayed the same and did not become pliable. I did not enjoy using it at all. I tried it with my concealer and it was a little better for that, but I still wouldn't recommend this product. Such a shame! The dream foundation is amazing though! Just don't use the dream blender to apply it in my opinion!

This is the first time I've ever tried a blender and I have to say it's not that bad lol. very easy to use although I find having the handle a bit bothersome, if it didn't have the handle it would be better

I received the Dream Blender for free through Chick Advisor.
I was to exited to try out this new product, i really wanted to like it but the sponge is too DENSE!!
It absorbs so much product and doesn't even blend the makeup.... It's too bad it doesn't worked for me :(

Thank you for the opportunity ChickAdvisor.

I received the Maybelline New York Dream Blender as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.

I couldn't get further than half of my face with this before switching to my flat top brush. It's way too firm and the sponge seems to just absorb the foundation. It doesn't blend the makeup, it just kind of pushes it around my face. Plus, it's really not a comfortable experience using this.

I have found another use for it though. Under eye concealer. The sponge is small enough and fits perfectly to press concealer into the skin.

Not impressed with this applicator at all! When you call something a blender you expect it to blend your makeup, not to smear it across your face! The stiff sponge does nothing but soak up the product and smear everything around. This sponge makes the foundation very patchy, and you can get way better coverage with a brush or a proper sponge.

Not sure if I would purchase this. Its a firm sponge. Doesn't really do what it says easy.

I'll keep giving it a try, but for the first use it felt like I had you use quite a bit of the foundation to cover my whole face. Well see how it works out!
