MY THOUGHTS:

This is a very welcomed addition to my makeup kit. These little guys are like owning just the tips of The Original beautyblender®. The new green micro.mini sponge is about 1/4 the size of the pink sponge, and also a little less dense. It it absolutely nimble at navigating the small areas of the face. My favorite use of them has been blending concealer and/or eyeshadow on the bottom lash line, covering blemishes, and doing “touch-ups.” If the makeup starts to get “cakey” or dry in the corners of the nose, for instance, I will spray a little Caudalie Beauty Elixir on the micro.mini and tap it onto the dry areas to revive them.

If you have The Original beautyblender® sponges, you do not NEED these micro.minis, but they are great to have if you’re in the market. They will not just tie up space in your kit, you will get plenty of use out of these babies!

Plus, they travel really well. Look at how cute these three are in my 2-sided, detachable, BBF beautyblender® case!
