Original.

"An old beauty blender. I replaced it with a new one that I got from TJ Maxx. They last a long time, but the more you start to clean them, some of the foam starts to kind of break apart. I used this one for probably a year, though. Maybe six months, maybe a year. So, I would say that's a good outcome for that."

"I used to get a lot of uses out of these, like sometimes these would keep going after like a year, but the last time I went to use this one I was all ready for the day and I look in the mirror and there's black specks all over my face, which is from this degrading. That was a bummer. I don't know if it was something with the color or something I that touched it or something, but yeah, these are normally kind of expensive."

"I've got a beauty blender that was starting to degrade, although this was a generic version. I think I like this version much better than the regular brand version, and it was probably more than half the price, so I actually ended up liking that one better."

"I picked up two of these and my other generic beauty blender was just much better. It didn't absorb as much product and it felt like it had a more natural finish. I was instantly disappointed even getting these on sale. I could have got the generic and probably got 10 of the generic ones and I like the generic ones better. They just don't soak up as much product, they feel fluffier, they absorb more water. I don't get it. Even with the bad math conversion, sometimes these things just feel wasteful."

"I got a beauty blender sponge online when it was on sale the other day and that thing is just compared to this one it's terrible. I thought beauty blenders were like the best sponge but that one just all it does is soak up product. I had much better luck with this one."

"So what she created was amazing and all the patents. Awesome."

"If you do not have this in your routine and you want to make your powders look better you need a beauty sponge. This one's the original Beautyblender. I love to use a sponge after powder and I feel like it really makes the biggest difference. You can obviously use this for all your cream products too which is so nice."

"I'm just going to blend that out with my Beauty Blender. The Beauty Blender won a reader's choice award as well as a Best of Beauty award. I feel like Beauty Blender always wins."

"I know even at half off, $10 seems like a lot for a sponge, which it is, but there is something special about the original beauty blender sponge. There's a lot out there, but I wanted to throw it out there if you guys are also like me and you know that there's just something special about the original beauty blender. I love that it will be 50% off. It's a great time to stock up if you're a makeup artist or whatever."

"The best makeup sponge award went to the original Beautyblender, which is what I'm using. I do feel like there are a lot of great sponges out there and I don't think you need to spend an arm and a leg on the Beautyblender, but people have tried to dupe this and the texture of the Beautyblender just is different, and I love it."

"Beautyblender made such an impression on the beauty industry as a whole that Beauty Blender has become a blanket statement for all makeup sponges. The term 'beauty blender' didn't exist until Beauty Blender came out. Like Sellotape, Hoover, Chapstick, Biro. Those are brand names, but you use them to describe everything. Lately, things don't seem to be as revolutionary for Beauty Blender as they used to be. You don't really see much going on. In my opinion, there were a few slip ups along the way that maybe made them not the experts in something like they used to be. They were the experts in makeup tools, and then they tried to go into other stuff and made themselves the least in certain categories. Other brands have kind of stolen their shine a little bit with their own product."

"When Beauty Blender came out with their Beauty Blender, the beauty sponge, it changed the game. It changed the makeup game for everyone. People went wild for it. Professionals, non professionals, everyday consumers, everyday makeup wearers."
