Great makeup sponges under P500

Beauty Blender may be the cult favorite beauty sponge, but there are a lot of good ones out there that are waiting to be discovered and I've pretty much discovered five of them and I'll share it with you!

1. RIOT POLYBLENDER MAKEUP SPONGE (P280)

- A super soft, bouncy, and sturdy sponge from local beauty brand, Riot. Riot's Polyblenders have the right softness to them, rinses easily, and a great, affordable (and also, sturdier) alternative to Real Techniques.

P.S. Don't forget to get the Polyblender Sponge Shampoo because it's good!

2. MISS BELLA MAKEUP SPONGE (P300)

- Looking for a sponge that expands two to three times its size that you can use it on your body as well? Go for Miss Bella and their online- famous makeup sponges. It comes in various sizes, plus a unique diamond- shaped sponge, which is great for cream contouring and highlighting.

3. CLUB CLIO HYDRO MAKEUP SPONGE (P150-P200)

- A surprising discovery from Club Clio and still remains as one of my favorites. This amazing sponge expands twice its size and reverts back to a smaller size for easier storage and handling; it conveniently comes with its own case too!

4. NIPPON MAKEUP SPONGE (P400/set)

- One of the makeup sponges that I think is a good dupe of Beauty Blender; this sturdy sponge is soft, bouncy, and absorbs just the right amount of foundation to deliver an air- brushed finish. It comes as a set: 2 sponges plus a sponge shampoo for P400 only.

5. BOBBIE COSMETICS (P150-P200)

- On a pretty low makeup budget? Try Bobbie Cosmetics makeup sponge, a really affordable sponge that does the job.
