Sonic System Airbrushed Finish Liquid Foundation Sponge Head
Product Details
Web ID: 2889971Love this product!
I love this product, it allows you to apply the makeup so smooth and flawless!
Another tool in my kit
I give this four stars because while it works well for most of my face - my cheeks, forehead, chin - I still have to bust out my brush to blend around my hairline, nose and eyes. It can be hard to clean and it seems like I use way more liquid foundation with this sponge than I did with just a brush - probably because I'm getting more/thicker coverage. It does feel good though, definitely not irritating like a brush can be on sensitive skin.

Sponge Needs Improvement
When it works it does a great job. I use it everyday. However, the other reviews are right, the sponge does not last long. It really needs to be modified. I find it hard to pay $27 for something that MIGHT last a couple of weeks. Maybe until it is improved the replacement heads should be reduced in price. That would keep those of us that like it buying them. It's becoming harder to find them. I can't find them in any local stores.

Don't have a choice but to get this sponge head
I purchased two of these with my applicator luckily. I love the system, but I do wash the sponge applicator occasionally and I guess in doing so it causes the glue to come off or something. The whole sponge just ripped off the base of one of them. I don't know how your supposed to keep it clean. This is definitely a design flaw that needs improvement.

Not what I thought
Part of the reason I got the sonic brush was so I could use this application to apply foundation. My skin is dry so I sometimes have to be careful to not look like I caked makeup on or that I missed a spot, so I thought this would be a great way to get even coverage. Quite the contrary. It takes SO much makeup to even get a little on your skin; the applicator soaks up all the product; and it's nearly impossible to get it to spread across your face. Huge disappointment.
Love but has issues
I love how this product works, but it rips so easily. The first one I bought ripped the first day. I thought I had did something wrong. I got a new one it lasted longer, but still the sponge has ripped off the head. If used gently you can use with the sponge ripped.

Love this product, minus the brittle sponge head
I received this item as an anniversary/Christmas gift from my husband. I had just spent several weeks in the hospital, I was feeling less than pretty and I decided that I wanted to try this system and see if it could raise my spirits since looking better makes you feel better. I started using the kit towards the end of January upon recommendation from the sales associate, my body and skin needed time to heal rather than a daily makeup routine. Once I began using this system I used the cleansing head daily until my skin was clear, and on Valentine's day I began using the foundation sponge head maybe once or twice a week until just last week when I was getting ready for school, I noticed the head had ripped in a circular pattern right next to the center of the sponge where it attaches to the unit. I thought surely since you recommend replacing the head every three months that it wouldn't be that expensive for me to buy another in comparison to the cost of the unit anyways, so no big deal. Boy, was I wrong. I was shocked to see that I could buy a whole new unit for the cost of two new sponge heads, which isn't horrific, but when you take into consideration that I used the sponge only a handful of times and if I actually used the sponge head daily, I would be buying a new sponge about every one to two weeks, since that is all I got out of it for time for actual usage. I love Clinique products, I always have. That is why I don't mind spending a little more on the quality of the items that I receive from Clinique, but I must admit that I am shocked at the quality of this item and now I am rethinking this investment except as a cleanser, for which it works amazingly! I have used your products since I was 14 and I will continue using your foundation and the old-school facial cleansing system like the toner, soap and dramatically different moisturizer rather than buy into the hype of an air-brush foundation applicator since the sponge head seems to have an issue with many, not only myself.
