What I'm Loving.....Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Hey Gems -

It's that time again!  Time for another installment of "What I'm Loving".  I've recently been trying out alot of new products. As you may have noticed, there have been a TON of new product releases lately.  It's normally that way every time a new season starts. Just been a little overloaded trying to keep up.  However, I've been pacing myself.  I decided it's best to take a few weeks to really test out products.  That allows me time to really get a good feel for them.  I want my reviews to be as honest and accurate as possible. With that said, let's get into it.....



The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge was released late last fall.  Real Techniques is a brand best know for there makeup brushes. There brushes are great quality and very affordable.  The perfect brushes for any beginner/experienced makeup enthusiast. The brand then ventured out into other beauty tools with this sponge.  This sponge is a definite game changer.

For a few year now, the ever popular beauty blender has reigned supreme.  All the beauty gurus and well-known MUAs were using this as their go-to blending tool. The sponge made applying liquids and creams result in an airbrush finish. MUAs could create flawless looks by using this tool for many applications. The hype of this sponge grew rapidly over time.  As a result, the beauty blender became one of the top-selling and widely-used beauty tools.

However, now we have the Miracle Complexion Sponge!!!

Why I Love It:

  • Flawless and even application of foundation and concealers
  • Flat Edge side design allows for ease in applying product in hard to reach areas
  • Easy maintenance for cleaning sponge; longer use
  • Extreme beauty steal!!! Only $5.99 (in comparison to the beauty blender that retails for $19.95 each)
Downside:
  • Sponge color easily shows discoloration over time (from product use)
I hope that Real Techniques will expand the line and release the sponge in different colors.  Darker colors would make the appearance of product dye less noticeable.

Overall, this is an amazing product. I've had mine for about 4 months and it's still in great shape.  This is one product I highly recommend.

You can purchase this sponge on the Real Techniques site and in Ulta stores/site. Note: Select Walgreens and Walmart locations carry the Real Techniques brushes. Check your local stores to confirm if they carry the sponge as well. 

That's concludes this week's installment.  Stay tuned for the latest and greatest via Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest @AngBeauty411.  Until next time....happy shopping!!!
