The BeautyBlender is one of those OG holy grail beauty items. After it’s debut in 2007, it’s swiftly scaled its way up, becoming a staple in almost everyone’s makeup bag. However, this innovative makeup sponge doesn’t come without its flaws. This neon pink wonder has a porous surface and can be quite the bacteria magnet, and let’s not forget the fact that it takes a bit of effort to get it squeaky clean. What’s worse, its iconic egg shape makes it difficult to stand and store, especially when you’re on the go. While the BeautyBlender Air.Port Pro Pouch seems like a solution, it’s unfortunately flimsy and a little too bulky for most.
Well, there’s good news for those of us seeking an alternative. It’s time to meet Blenderelle.
Created by the good people behind NYC Designed, this sponge case is actually not affiliated to the BeautyBlender. It’s a straightforward plastic container designed specifically to hold your BeautyBlender and any other makeup applicators that share the same shape. Instead of getting your sponge all dirty by letting it roll around in your makeup bag, mingling with every other product in this bacteria-filled party, this case lets your sponge sit pretty in all that flower bud-like glory.
With it’s easy twist-to-lock cover, you can store your sponge it in and throw it in your bag. You won’t have to worry about it getting dirty again. Even better, the case gives your sponge up to 50% ventilation to allow it to dry adequately without harbouring additional bacteria. The wonderful cocoon of a case also comes in pink and pearl to solve all of our aesthetic concerns and first world issues. Take that, dirty makeup sponges!
