I was very excited when I got the chance to review the newly launched Miracle Complexion Sponge sent by Cloud 10 Beauty. I love to use makeup sponges to blend the face makeup… these babies will give you a beautiful flawless finish and blend the product (liquid,cream,powder) perfectly!
What the product claims:
Optimize your beauty routine with this 3-in-1 multi-functional sponge.
Rounded sides blend large areas of the face with a repeated dabbing or “stippling” motion.
Precision tip covers blemishes and imperfections.
Flat edgefor the contours around the eyes and nose.
Its versatile design evenly blends makeup for a smooth, enhanced finish.
Now let’s get ready for pictures!!

My thoughts:
The product is true to its claim. The shape is distinctive and user-friendly. The 3 different ends of this sponge can be used in different areas of face.
The sponge swells up a little while wet. For the first time users, you have to squeeze out the excess water before using any kind of sponge.
The Rounded side (Dry & Wet):
The Flat side (Dry & Wet):
Doesn’t soak up too much liquid product.
I have used it both wet and dry, worked perfectly!
I have read some people complaining that makeup sponges (specially the cheap ones from eBay) can color the water when first used. Here is a test to see if Real Techniques’ sponge does this.
Aaaaand, NOPE!
I have also used cream blush with it, and the result was great!
Easy to wash… Just wash after every use to avoid product build-up which results in difficulty in washing.
It costs lesser than the famous Beauty blender (BB costs $19.95 and RT sponge costs $6).
In a nutshell:I LOVE THIS!
Thanks Cloud 10 Beauty for giving me the opportunity to review this!
