UPDATE: Started using the first one on July 28 and mostly have used it every day since then. We're about a month in and I noticed that it is not performing quite as well as it did in the beginning. Then I realized that it's slowly getting bigger over time (see pic - I have not yet used the one on the left), so it doesn't fit into the corner of my eye as well, plus it's absorbing more of the concealer so it applies it differently now. Still works but it's less effective now; if these only really work a month or so, they are going to be expensive! I rinse it every day but I've only washed it twice, both times gently with Dawn.**********************I use these for my concealer and they're perfect. I had no idea how streaky and flawed my finger application looked until I used these. I'm a total convert!!I love this micro mini sponge for applying concealer. A must for cosmetic users. I have purchased two. LOVE THEM!Perfect size and quality for any serums or creams around the eyes. Easy to clean - these are perfect!I regret buying this, it is not the same quality as my beauty blenders definitely a knock off.I purchased these micro blending sponges because I wasn't getting the best concealer application in the inner corners, under, and around my eyes. They are the perfect size for covering up dark under eye circles. The only issue that I have with them is that they have a tendency to soak up more product than my larger sized blending sponges. Because of their size, they dry out faster than their larger counterparts and so I have difficulty getting them just wet enough (but not too wet) so that they won't absorb my foundation or highlighter. Despite the product saturation I see on the sponge while I'm using it, I only need to do about two passes with my concealer to cover up my dark circles effectively (and we're talking about really dark circles here) so I know it's not soaking up too much. Again, if you have dark circles under and in the corners of your eyes these are a must have!I bought this because it was actually fulfilled by Amazon, was very cheap, and I wanted to be able to get a feel for the beauty blender before shelling out $25 on it.Unfortunately, Amazon only ships buy does not personally sell the full size, and given how many people complained that they got fakes from 3rd party vendors, I'm going to have to head to the store to buy the real thing.For now, these are too small to actually get a good idea of how well they work. The texture is noticeably different from the real techniques though, which is what I've been using for years. It worked well for blending concealer around my eyes, but they're just not big enough to do much more.I got this mainly to apply undereye concealer, as my larger BB original is a little big for getting in and around the eye area.First, as I see others have stated as well, I was surprised by just how small these are. They are pretty tiny. For my purposes, I could have used something about 50% smaller than the original, and this is probably about 70-80% smaller.Also, this is not as dense and is more porous than my larger original.Intially, I wasn't optimistic, but after using it a couple of weeks, I will say it does get the job done.It's great for undereyes, and I also find it handy for eye primer and dabbing a bit of concealer (liquid or mineral) just where needed.All in all, while it wasn't exactly what I expected, I would still recommend.These sponges are a great size and shape, great for smaller areas of the face, and perfect to use when you are applying makeup product under the eyes. Makes the makeup application easy and blended. They are authentic beauty blender sponges, they are very quick and easy to clean and handy to use for on-the-go.I personally love Beauty Blenders and bought these to blend in foundation/concealer under and around the eyes (in the awkward bits near the nose) and these are the perfect size for that. Yes they are small (they expand when wet) but that's the point of them. If you're not sure about the size, Google them and you will get the measurements for dry and wet. :)I think they are ideal for what they are intended for and make under eye make up application flawless. As there are two, I use the other one for blending my highlighter on my cheek and brow bones. Up to you what you use the for really but they can be used for a variety of make-up application!I love these. I use them everyday for my under eye concealer. Because they're smaller I find them much more easy to use on that area than my regular size beauty blender. I wouldn't know what to do without them now. I just wish they were more reasonable priced.Product is smaller than I had expected. But expands alot when wet. Overall product does it's job. But still prefer the standard size of the Beauty BlenderDaughter loves them. I thought they were a bit small hut apparently perfect for doing eyes. Great price for the make. Delived before date so all good.Was a little sceptical on how these would differ from the regular beauty blender but I was pleasantly surprised. They allow to get into all the places that are more difficult to reach with the normal size beauty blender resulting in perfect and flawless looking make up application
