Real Techniques Bold Metals Miracle Diamond Sponge

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well! I have been waiting for the Real Techniques Bold Metals Miracle Diamond Sponge to come to my local London Drugs since it came out. I have heard so many good things about this sponge, and that it is a dupe for the beauty blender. I love the Real Techniques brushes so I was very excited to try the sponge.

Sponge Dry

Sponge Wet

As you can hopefully see by these pictures the sponge expands a lot when it is wet. It becomes really squishy and soft, and it feels quite similar to the Beauty Blender. 

After using this sponge I have to say it is a good buy since it is only about $10. The tip of the sponge gets into the corner of the eyes very well, and the flat part of the diamond covers a lot of surface area. I use a sponge for cream bronzer and I found with this sponge there was not a good side to apply it. The flat side was too large and the sides were too long, but other that it is a great sponge. I still prefer the beauty blender for cream bronzer and blush, I like the shape and the way it applies all my different cream products. But if you are looking for a budget buy then this is a great sponge, and it works really well for foundation and concealer. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great week!
