Love, love, love!" —Sarah

Ulta Beauty

Promising review: "Love it. I don't often buy name-brand 'hyped' products, but this is the one makeup applicator I am willing to splurge on. I use this to apply concealer so a soften bendable tool is essential in the sensitive area around my eyes. I've tried other brands more affordable options but keep coming back to this blender. It's easy to wash and lasts a long time. I am a loyal user and will repurchase again and again!" —oily goily

Price: $20
