Beauty Blender micro.mini

VIB folks, Sephora is now offering these teeny tiny little Beauty Blenders... am I the only one who is squeeing over these?

Well it seems like they are trying to reinvent themselves, I guess they have to come up with new products if they want to keep growing. I don't think these are really necessary though...

No, they are trying to keep up with the dupes that already have mini's on the market for past few years.

Is investing in a beauty blender really worth it? I've heard a lot about it, but they're not readily available in Asia and I think the shipping would cost as much as the product itself.

I say read the threads on the after care of it, (cleaning, storage) and then go from there. 

As for shipping, yeah that's normal. Even here in NA, whenever I purchase anything in the US to Canada, not only do I have to pay for shipping (which is the same, and most times, more than the cost of the product itself), I have to pay for customs and brokerage fees as well. So yes, shipping will be expensive. And it sucks.

You're not the only one!!! I think these are freaking adorable!!! I really really want to get them. I think it would really up my concealer and eyeshadow blending.

OMG so cute!

I haven't yet found a perfect solution for applying my concealer -- most recent acquisition for the purpose was one of those Sigma semi-fluffy concealer brushes, which does a great job of evening it out but not so much on getting to the tiny spots like the corners of my eyes. A baby Beauty Blender is... just perfect. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I finally got these at the VIB Sephora sale this year. I kept them in my drawer for a while, but finally used them today to apply my under eye concealer. I have to say, it looks about 75% better than when I apply and blend my concealer with my fingers. I use NARS radiant creamy concealer. I feel like if you're using a solid concealer (like a stick concealer or pot concealer) this wouldn't do well- but for liquid concealer it is awesome! It's less patchy and my fine lines are not as emphasized as when I pat and roll with  my fingers.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Also at Sephora inside JCP, you can get this cute kit:

I typically just use my fingers to apply foundation because I'm too lazy to use brushes and blenders. I finally decided to try a mini and see what it does. I used it to apply foundation even though it's probably meant to be used for the hard to reach areas (under eyes, around the nose etc). I couldn't believe the difference. The foundation looked great and was very easy to apply. I might have to invest in the bigger size now. I had read somewhere that if you mist the beauty blender with a facial mist and then apply foundation the results are very natural. I didn't use a facial mist, I just used regular water to make the blender just a little bit moist and the result definitely was a natural dewy finish.
