I received this from Chick Advisor as part of a free trial. I normally wouldn't have purchased a product like this because it just seems like a new fad and I thought how wrong can you really go applying foundation with a regular old sponge. Was I ever wrong.
I had to look up a couple tutorial videos on You Tube to make sure I was using it correctly. Glad I did because they all instructed to wet the blender and squeeze it dry before applying your foundation which gives a more even application and saves you wasting foundation that would normally just be absorbed into your dry blender or sponge.
The only downside is the fact that it should be washed everyday after using it. For the price you would pay for it in the stores and as rushed as I usually am in the mornings, I think it's just as easy to buy a bag of makeup sponges that you can throw out after a couple of days for half the price of the Dream Blender.

I was skeptical at first glance, thinking it was just going to be a pain to have to wash, and how was it any different than my usual sponges I use. But...... I really like using it. It blend the foundation really well, and it does a great job around the eyes and smaller areas. Glad I was able to try it.

I received Maybelline New York Dream Blender from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club for the purpose of a product review.

Right out of the package, I was surprised at the firmness of the Maybelline New York Dream Blender sponge. From my experience, I was simply expecting something a little more pliable - not an issue.

My first try with the Dream Blender, I used it dry and I wasn't feeling so impressed. The second time, I wet it and towel dried, according to the recommendation. From that point, it was smooth gliding. I know that some people prefer to dab and stipple only, however, this blender allowed me to do more WITHOUT sucking up all of the product into the sponge. Wasted product is not my thang.

The tip of the Maybelline New York Dream Blender is absolutely perfect for the wee under eye areas that my fingers are not so successful at reaching without getting foundation on my eyelashes. Bonus points here! The overall shape could stand to be slightly different - perhaps more rounded on one side, and more flat on the other. Something to think about ;)

In addition to applying Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation with the Maybelline New York Dream Blender, later in the day, I applied my current night cream. Superb spreading and coverage! I enjoyed not having face cream all over my fingers / nails.

The Maybelline New York Dream Blender has no detectible odor, which is a great concern to me when using products derived from plastics.

I have a few questions - what is this cute little sponge actually made from? If I knew, would I still want to be rubbing it all over my face everyday? How fast will this little thing deteriorate? Should I replace it every few months? Year? How often should I wash it, and with what?

Despite the unknown, I will keep this tool in my 'frequently used' drawer and look forward to trying it with a variety of face products.

The best benefit to using a blender - not getting face makeup (or creams!) under my nails and all over my fingers AND not getting hand cream and finger products all over my face. BAM!

Sincerely,

R :)

I was very pleased to have the opportunity to review the Maybelline New York Dream Blender compliments of Chick Advisor.

The Dream Blender was easy to use, comfortable to hold and apply the make-up. It is soft, but firm enough to apply the product with accuracy in areas such as the eyes. It has the added bonus of being able to use it slightly damp for a lighter application.

Before using the Dream Blender I typically used my fingers or a wedge sponge. I loved using the Dream Blender and I will use and purchase the product again. I have also recommended it to friend and family.

the dream blender was a very good product.. I 'm so happy I had a chance to try it...i'm very satisfied with Maybelline...i'm thinking to replace my regular brand with this one.

Pretty good product, works pretty much like a brush , but observing less creams in, so saving me money on future purchase of foundation. Fin end allowed me to do nose and eyes area.

This Dream Blender is okay. It works alright for blending the foundation and helped make the foundation look proper on my face. I may purchase this again, but they do seem to be a little high priced.

J'ai testé gratuitement le fonds de teint et l'éponge pour l'appliquer.
J'ai adoré le côté très pratique de cette éponge, qui applique uniformément le fonds de teint sans laisser de trace et qui ne fait pas non plus de paquet!
C'est certain je l'ai adoptée et je vous conseille d'en faire autant ;-)

I found the blender, blends my foundation very well, and is easy to use and keep clean. It helps my Maybelline foundation go on flawlessly and last for many hours. This is a must-have tool for flawless makeup application! I would buy this again and recommend this to my friends!

I received this blender from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I did not really like the handle as I found it kind of awkward to use and will be harder to clean than a normal handle without a handle. I thought that it absorbed a little too much of the foundation and was not as flexible as I liked.
