To Buy or Not to Buy: Beauty Blender

I've been hearing fabulous things about the Beauty Blender for a while now and my question for you is weather or not you think I should purchase one. I'm pretty willing to accept that the Beauty Blender applies makeup very well, however, I'm unsure about the notion of using a reusable sponge to apply my makeup. I've always been told that makeup should be applied with a brush or your fingers because sponges are breeding grounds for bacteria, and I really don't want to spend $20 on a potential hazard, but I really do want to see this flawless finish I've heard so much about.

I know there's a special cleanser you can buy to clean your Beauty Blender, but I had a look at the ingredients and it looks like any gentle detergent cleanser. Also, I've heard that the Beauty Blender should be replaced every three months (I imaging this is for sanitation reasons). For any of you who might already own this, how do you clean it, can it be cleaned thoroughly in a reasonable amount of time, do you replace yours as frequently as you replace your mascara?

Rants, raves, thoughts, let me know.

  1. i agree... i'm curious too but it's WAY too expensive for a sponge. buy a brush for the same $$$- last longer! LOL =)

  2. I've been thinking that too :), minimally I would spend $50 a year (if I get the two packs) on sponges if I actually replaced them every three months.
