I was this old when I found out that you can remove the sponge! Who knew!😳🧐🙌🏻😜
same! and I'm going to get rid of mine right now
I took it off instantly bc of germs 🤢
I like the sponge. I'm a major klutz and it helps me put it on. It's the best no matter what.
Tamara Jones I find a concealer brush works great with age rewind
Bruhhh same.😂😂
Didn’t know you could remove the sponge... lol I learned something new today.
I knew bt still liked ur comment 😊
afsana_ xoxo thanks! 😄❤️
I had no idea too
Me too! I'm going to remove mine now
Sameeee
I used to use this stuff aaall the time! I used to sponge! Never thought to rip the sponge off!!!
me neither o:
Me neither lol. Doh i feel like a dumbo as ive always disliked the fact that it had a sponge applicator! Gna rip them off tomorrow morning before i do my makeup 😅
BN are always teaching us something new even when we least expect it 😁
Same here
Mine broke one week after I got it. I was actually mad because I really wanted the sponge... Should I be glad that the universe indirectly helped me?
I’m a “use the sponge until it gets all nasty and clogged and then rip it off and use the rest of it with out the sponge” person 😅 also, I think you do lose a lot of the product based on how much does dry in the sponge... hard to recreate in a video but this was a good place to start. Still.. not complaining about a cheapie concealer though :)
mee too :-D
Yes! Same.👌😂
Yes, Kati! I’m the same 😂
I also feel like the product dries out in the sponge! I need about 2 clicks without sponge and about 5-6 clicks with sponge on since the product goes all over the sponge and not into a small drop I can work with.
Think about all the bacteria and dried concealer build up in there...disgusting
To all of the concealer lovers out there, the sponge can be actually detached, washed with any face cleanser/makeup remover, left to dry and reatached quite easily. I 've tried it and it works wonders, it's good as new!
Thank you, I was about to ask that question!
Como se coloca la esponja????
The ad at the beginning of the video (for me) was for this concealer 😂
Well played Maybelline
Me too!
Mine too
same here!
Same 😂
Aside from hygienic concerns, I've found that the product trapped in the sponge darkens/oxidizes between uses. So as you blend out fresh product, you don't get the true shade.
"How many clicks does it take to get to the end of a Maybelline Rewind Concealer?"
"The world may never know"
I can't believe I didn't know to remove the sponge. I loved that concealer but hated the sponge. thank you so much! And I'm so dumb
Quick advice:
Remove it when you newly purchased it, or use gloves if it's too late
Me, too I knew it late and when I tried to remouve it, my hand was super messy 😂😂😂
amina pasdenom soap and water gurl, dont need gloves
*walks to bathroom and yanks sponge off
I am getting carpal tunnel pains just watching this.
Same!
What does that mean😂
Treasure...It’s an injury you get in your wrists from repetitive movements. It hurts a lot! It’s called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Cassandra M Oh ok thanks!
Are you synesthetes?
My sponge has always ripped and fallen apart before I’ve finished the product, leaving me extremely irritated and scratching plastic around my eye. I’m almost embarrassed to admit I never thought of just taking the entire thing off and I’ve panned SEVERAL of these. I can’t wait to get home and “fix” mine. 😂 Thank you so much ladies! 😘
Saaaame. I have it sitting there just as a backup now and now I know when I get a new one to just take off the sponge 😂
Hailey is going to come down with Carpal tunnel syndrome with all the turns and clicks she performs for our enjoyment! Take care girl!!😘
Anabela D. 😂
Carpel tunnel isn't caused like that
i *just* finished removing the sponge tip and "depotting" it into an old wet n wild photofocus concealer component. the thin white nib underneath the sponge makes it perfect to inject into an old concealer tube!
Good idea !!!
Two paws up from my cat Chloé. She very much enjoyed all the clicking and gooping in this video. She was enthralled for 7 minutes at the end she commenced deep happy purrs. I think she'd like that clean sponge to play with. 😻
Me I don't use concealer but was fascinated too.
In the lab, when we use scales like this it is advisable to not push on to the weighing platform because the force pushing on the scale can cause the reading to deviate from the actual reading. For future videos, it’s better to scoop whatever’s on the sponge with any utensil and plop it onto the scale. That way yall can get a more accurate outcome. Love your videos btw!
i was thinking of taking the tray thing off the scale, pushing the product onto it, and then setting it back on😂 great minds think alike, i guess
Lol it has never occurred to me to take off the sponge. 🤯
In the midst of Dramageddon 2k19, I think I just really needed to see a concealer being slowly clicked out. Thanks, gals.
I love taking off the sponge, no waste and I get pure concealer without having to wait for it to reach and absorb into the sponge.💜☀️
No sponge here! It grosses me out when things come like that or when the applicator is stored in the product like liquid lips. Makes me think of keeping your toothbrush inside the toothpaste 🤢
Omg yes or like those powders that are combined with brush blehh u can't wash it too
Actually it’s treated with an anti microbial agent. Do you know that those nasty ice machines that dispense both ice and liquid have more bacteria than your toilet bowl?
If you could rinse it ( because no one washes a toothbrush with soap) having a toothbrush that also dispenses toothpaste, might actually be an awesome travel product.
Chill, not all bacteria is bad, you're immune to a lot of shit
Lol😂😂
destroying a maybelline concealer and at end an ad of maybelline concealer pops up 🤯🤯🤯🤯
... how do you think CZcams ads / targeted advertising works? 😂 You definitely should not be mind blown that after showing interest in a video about Maybelline concealer, the algorithm would suggest Maybelline concealer .
@@user-di6cn2ne7u oh really.. I didn't know that. After 11 years after watching 100s of videos this is the first time that happened, next time I'll know lol thank you. 😂
But it's not wasted. It can be potted & used
@@gshsgsfruwfhr5709 oh I know. I was talking about "what are the odds" that the video was about a maybelline concealer and a ad/commercial appeared at the end of the video. 😁
@@gshsgsfruwfhr5709 did you reply on the wrong comments
It’s 0.1g at the first time but remember that we use it daily. So very time that I use my concealer I leave 0.1g on the sponge that gets dry, so I think that we lost more product.
But doesn't some product get stuck in the inner tube? So technically not all the product is usable product?!
Magda von der Weide i think it would, but it is a lot less than another concealer with a doe-foot applicator where product gets stuck near the top or on the sides and is hard to get out
Airless pump>>>>
@@MClara-ep4sf I know. And I know how an airless pump works. But the product gets "pushed" only by the little platform to the bottom into the small inner tube, and if the platform is at the very bottom, there is nothing to push the remaining product through the small inner tube anymore and this little amount of concealer won't come outside.
Yeah that would be the .1 gram that was lost. So not much really
@@dell7274 The 0.1 was the difference between the concealer with and the one without the sponge. There is still product in the inner tube of the concealer without the sponge. I know it's just a minimal amount, but my point still stands. The empty concealer looks super clean, but there still is unusable product in it, just like in any other concealer. I don't want to shit on the agerewind, it's my go to concealer, but just for the sake of accuracy I wanted to mention it.
Can’t imagine applying this WITHOUT the sponge tbh!! I love it! Only use it on clean skin (never over foundation) to avoid bacteria!
Could you do a bacteria test to prove the "conspiracy theory" if this concealer is better without the sponge because its full of bacteria? (Edit: I know its not a conspiracy theory but there are two sides who thinks this sponge is disgusting because of the bacteria and the people who believe its like a normal concealer wand😊)
They would have to go to a lab or get some biochemical tests and an incubator to do that. It would be cool but these ladies probably wouldn't do that. And it is basically a guarantee that your skins bacteria would transfer to the sponge. I would hope the product would have a bit of a antimicrobial to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold 😖
I wash the sponge regularly. just under some warm water.that helps
And with a doe foot apllicator there is also a sponge that you put back in the concealer everytime so bacteria and skin goes back in the product as well.
@@Sanmarachella they could probably drop a well-used sponge (or piece of a bigger one like a Beauty Blender) into some broth, incubate it, and do a turbidity (aka cloudiness) test to get a rough idea. that said most of our skin's bacterial species are friendly and not harmful - and even acne bacteria is hard to culture so it probably isn't surviving too well on our sponges unless they're super gross :)
The second you swipe that sponge across your face it’s going to be loaded with bacteria...normal flora and, potentially, infectious bacteria. Your skin is crawling with it. It’s no different than a beauty blender...which is cleaned but not necessarily disinfected.
It would be better to plate it on agar...like a Nutrient agar see if you can, at least, grow some bacteria. You could incubate it at room temp...because the sponges sit at room temp....so if the sponge has bacteria, it should grow.
I don’t think it would prove anything unless you can find something infectious like Staph A. If you were looking for that you’d need to use a different agar and incubate it overnight...then isolate it and do tests to prove it’s infectious.
From your friendly, neighborhood, microbiologist.
I saw a make up video where she had removed the sponge and haven't gone back. Application with a brush is so much more precise and allows my final look to be less heavy and cakey because I don't need powder to set, just a tap of setting spray.
What about the concealer left in the centre-tube contraption? How do you get that out? It looks like there’s quite a bit of product left in there.
I was waiting for that.
A toothpick or skewer?
Oh most of it looks to be just the spring???
I use a bobby pin that I bend to straighten!!
Olivia Pirlot now that’s advanced panning.
beauty news: *tries to dispense an entire bottle of concealer at once*
the sponge: *has a nervous breakdown bc wtf ma’am*
beauty news: this is why i don’t like the spongeeeeeeeeeee
I’m a non-sponge because *bacteria will thrive in the moist, moist, wet sponge* (I don’t want breakouts because of that too)
I was literally looking for concealers for my wedding and have been planning on buying this one because I've heard such great reviews. Taking the sponge off is brilliant for an OCD sufferer like me!!
The problem that I had with the sponge was, since I'm not an everyday makeup wearer, the concealer dried up on the sponge and it didn't let any more out. After that I had to remove the sponge even though I did not mind it but from now on I will remove it when I open it. Great video girls, kisses from Croatia :)
Ivanica I love this concealer but like you I don't wear makeup everyday. Without the sponge I found that the top bit of concealer does dry up. It gets hard and I also have to twist it more than with the sponge on and then wait for the product to come out and by that time too much comes out. Because the very top layer is hardened a bit I'm assuming that's why it takes so long. I think it's better to keep the sponge on in our case.
I've used this product for years - still use it today, I love it and hope it never goes away. I did know the sponge came out - I take mine out periodically (maybe like three times total per whole tube) and wash it like a beauty blender for hygienic purposes. I do use this product with the sponge.
I've always liked these concealer but none of them are light enough :(
Same! Even though my concealer should never be lighter than my foundation shade (never works for me, I just look like a reverse panda), I still can't find one light enough. Especially since when they finally launched them here in Russia, they came out with two shades, that were super dark (both of them would work as bronzers for about half of Russian people, not just me), and even though they've expanded the range now, I still can't find anything remotely close to my skin tone (and I'm not as fair as, for example, John Maclean, though I am quite close to him in the skin tone)... Wish drugstore brands would cater to rarer skin tones
Ikr I use the yellow one the brightener or smth cause it at least a tad lighter maybe that could work for you but before theat we also had only the concealer chades and yeah my makeup looked rough
You mean there is no super fairy one of those ohhh dang then I can't use it
Try the new Jeffree star concealer!!
Atriya Koller "Подружка" now has the lightest (as far as I know) shade which is 00 Ivory but there’re not a lot of units in stores - I got mine after basically ripping apart the Maybelline counter with the concealers and spending half an hour swimming through the sea of 05 Sands and 01 Lights
And I only found it in the last store out of the four I went to
I HAD NO IDEA THE SPONGE CAME OFF!!! I stopped using it because the harsh sponge moved my foundation underneath and applies the concealer too sheer. I removed the sponge and applied the product with my beauty blender and now I can say it's such a great formula!
I used to use one of these concealers without the sponge and hated it! So the next one I bought I kept the sponge and it helped distribute the product much more nicely and evenly on my dry skin (before blending it with a beautyblender). So yeah, sponge person here, because it really helps with application and not getting to much product on at once :)
I have never thought to take the sponge off, may have to try that when I open a new one. Thanks for the information!
This is my favourite concealer 😍 I do use the sponge and actually clean it from time to time or when I'm not using it for some time
Did no one else say “to sponge or not to sponge, that is the question “ or is it just me 🤣
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✅This is my ride or die concealer! I use and preferred this over shape tape. There is a beautiful one with the peach tint and it cancels out everything. I am so glad that you guys did this video! Either way this video ends, good or bad I will still continue to buy these in bulk LOL. Love you ladies!!
Brittany Marie what is the name of that peach tint one, I’d love to get it, I too like this one very much.
What shade did you get that gave you that peach tint?
BlingBea Dowdy It’s called ‘Brightener’. It’s really good for dark circles. I bought it by accident instead of my shade in store & wasn’t disappointed. xoxo
I wanna get it I have never found a concealer that covers up my dark circles I have been used shape tape
It doesn't provide that much coverage tho 😥
I love this concealer! The sponge is antibacterial for anyone who is wondering. I use the sponge because it's a great size and texture but I also clean it.
Welp, my sponge is getting ripped off today. Thanks guys!
I’m on my second tube of this concealer and I’ve ripped the sponge off for both! So much better!
I find the splooge always happens to me at the end cause the sponge becomes saturated and ick after a while. I just switched concealers since I didn't think to remove the sponge.
An alternative theory from someone who uses the sponge - I feel like the concealer is so thin that you don't need a whole lot of it so keeping the sponge on, I'm not twisting it up everytime I need product and I find that the sponge speads the perfect amount on; whereas I'm wondering if going no sponge you have to twist up product everytime you use it and end up putting it on a sponge to apply anyways? I see both sides, I like the ease of application and that's why I keep the sponge but it does get manky towards the end
should have weighed the unused sponge vs. a sponge that's had the product run through it AND ALSO was squished out like you would on the face. In this experiment you didn't quite get as much product out of the sponge as most people on a budget would
This video was mind blowing for me!! I have been using this concealer for since I have memory and it never occurred to me that I could just take that stupid sponge off!!!thank you!this has such a huge impact on my make up routine
I have this. I feel like this stuff runs out so quick, but its kinda good, and it's my favorite concealer.
I love both methods tbh! Something to keep in mind though is if you travel, when heated it pushes out the product so it can get messy without the sponge. I personally find that the sponge application is much smoother for me but I prefer no sponge application for eye make up and carving eyebrows.
My favorite concealer, never knew you could pull the sponge off of it
I used the sponge applicator the first time I bought it just once and took it off because it grossed me out, but I’ve taken it off every time since repurchasing. It’s a pretty good concealer 👏🏽
I was today years old when I realised you can remove the sponge, I stopped using it because of the nasty ass sponge! I’m glad I can use it again!!!
WOW! Thank you so so much! I didn’t know the sponge was removable! Always had breakouts after a while, because of the dirty sponge. This is so much better!!
I thought I was the only weird person to rip off the sponge and secretly regretting it. 🤷🏻♀️
no wayyyyyyy this is genius! Ive gone through so many of these concealers and I've never thought to do this!
The first time i used this the sponge accidentally came off before the first application so i used it like that, and have ever since! If it hadn't happened accidentally i probably wouldn't have even thought to do it!
I have used this brand foundation and concealer for 12 years, covers really well without getting cakey, doesn’t create white face when taking pictures at night with flash, and it’s protects from sun damaged really well. Mac brand gave me acne, got this and never turned back 😁
Lol this reminds of "How do you eat your OREO cookie?" Do you pull it apart and eat the center first, or the whole thing together? "To sponge, or not to sponge?!" Ok, ok, I'll stop! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks girls for making my day! ❤🤗
damn, now I want Oreos!
i literally ripped the sponge right after watching this video and reading all the comments. i've only used this for 3 days and the tube is already 1/8 empty. after i ripped the sponge, i only squeeze the tiniest amount and it literally cover my whole face. omg such a great tip !
Yes this is the only concealer I use! Literally any video, I'm wearing this (If I didn't forget to wear concealer that day)
id bought his concealer about a year or so ago (as everyone hyped this concealer), and i used it with the sponge however i didn’t really like it as it was quite dry and cakey looking. but then i ripped of the sponge and suddenly the concealer looked so much better on my skin! it didn’t look cakey at all and it was so much easier to get product out! so yeah i would recommend taking the sponge off for more product + a less cakey look :)
I got an ad for this exact concealer before this video!! 😂😂
This is my favorite CZcams series. Theres something relaxing about watching you guys destroy/pump out products. ❤❤
What I thought would happen if I took the sponge off: ww3
What actually happens when you take the sponge off: nothing
I’ve loved the foundation one as concealer for years when it first came out because of the sponge and use in my car I thought getting it on me at all. When they came out with the concealer it was that much better having both. I didn’t think anyone else did this but for my makeup on the go I have the sponges but for my makeup at my beauty counter I do have the sponge removed from each because I have a glass palette I use for other liquids as well. I thought I was the only one who ever ripped out the sponge but good to know my travel with me daily makeup ones barely lose any product on the sponge versus home.
I love your channel and how both of you continue to educate us on beauty items, and to tell the truth even exposing hot products just because they look pretty or cute may not be legal with how much they are supposed to be giving us in product. I truly love how honest you are with those reviews to be true to the fans and subscribers like me. There’s been several times I wanted to buy things but you ladies did a destroy and weighed video exposing how much you couldn’t use, or messy, or little useable product there was and even my fav was how terrible the product experience was for you and the textures being disgusting.
As a consumer I love the humor and fun of your videos but do rely on them telling the truth if I’m looking to buy and the company is cheating customers and lying or they are a good product and like many you have reviewed they are over the limits they say which is basically free product and nice to know they have gone over to cover themselves with the places in the states that regulate that which is
The Department of Weights and Measures which can then be filed with The Department of Consumer Affairs as well as The Better Business Bureau. These are 3 federal level branch departments that are all about the consumers interest and taking complaints, opening investigations, researching files or evidence provided to either force companies to recall, find the companies or provide the consumer with reports to the use as so,I’d evidence for the consumer to file a lawsuit.
(Again these are only departments for people in the states/USA, I don’t know if they exist in countries like Australia or not but wanted consumers to know.)
IT LOOKS LIKE THE SPONGE IS HEMORRHAGING
My favorite concealer, minus the packaging. I have always used a brush to take the concealer off the sponge so it doesn't get gross. Wish I had thought to just remove the sponge.🙆 Brilliant idea, thank you!
Thank you! I have been dying to figure this out. I always rip the sponges off mine and never attempt to use them.
I love this concealer. I never even freakin thought of taking the sponge off! I don't even use the sponge so this is brilliant.
I like the sponge any because the design is unique and I like fluffy things lmao which is probably why I like the fenty beauty fairy pompom
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does not use the sponge!! I actually depot mine into a container that has a sponge-tip applicator.
OMG an ad for the Concealer played before the video!!😂😂
I love how they're like "ewww" but actually use it on their skin.
I wish they would redesign this product. I love the formula, hate the packaging.
I’ve always been hesitant to remove the sponge because I didn’t know if I would still be able to use the tube! Thanks for the video!
But what about any discrepancies in amount of product between the two bottles before they were emptied?? 🤔🤫🤓
This is about the difference between usable product in the concealer while using a sponge vs without the sponge. Don’t know what possible discrepancies in what the products weigh Before they were emptied have to do with that.
Kenia H she's saying the inherent discrepancies will alter the results because you're not starting out with the same amount
What do you mean? The two bottles both start out with the same amount of product as listed in the labeling?
miharu there are always minor discrepancies, I think the original commenter is probably just a stickler for scientific accuracy ;) (nothing wrong with that! haha)
adenineful especially given the difference was ONLY 0.1g, it very easily could be their original weights were off my 0.1g. That’s a very low weight
I just discovered about 3 months ago that I could take the sponge off 😅 I prefer the sponge as far as application, but for sanitary reasons, I take it off. I actually dispense it into an empty Concealer with a dofut (sp?) applicator. And really like it that way!
I used up mine LAST WEEK AND YOU TELL ME THIS NOW 😱😭😭
I love this concealer, but I didn’t know I could remove the sponge. I’m gunna remove it asap when I restock. It looks way easier to apply without the lil sponge thing. Thanks gals. Love ya work.
when kat said "it looks like soft-serve ice cream" all i could think was that it looked like the head of an alligator spawn from hell 😭
I thought it looked a tiny...penis.
Same 😂
I use this concealer and totally going to remove the sponge now. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner! Thanks ladies.
Maybelline PLEASE come out with more shades on each end of the spectrum🙏🏻🙏🏿. I LOVE Age Rewind's formula, but the lightest shade ("Ivory") is still too deep for me; & oddly enough, is darker than "Ivory" in Fit Me.🤷♀️
Great video 😄😄 I would just consider the fact, that when we use this concealer everyday, some amount of product dries on the sponge, and the next day another layer dries as well. I don’t know if that’d be the case, but I guess everyday use would waste more products on the sponge.
I feel like keeping the sponge on isn’t a great idea. It’ll get clogged up with product, it’ll dry out, plus you’re putting it on your skin and all the oils/dirt/ etc on your skin gets on the sponge. It sounds unsanitary.
Because of your video I removed the sponge and now the application is so much more precise and fun, thank you so much!
Isn't the sponge antimicrobial? I always thought it was but I could totally be wrong!
This concealer always turned me off because of the sponge and how nasty it gets over time, but taking the sponge off and washing it from time to time is actually a pretty good idea
I wish every foundation and concealer had this packaging
Maria k they have a foundation that looks the same, just a giant form of it
This test is great, but the product get dry in the sponge with time, so you loose much more product
isn't the tube in the middle of the packaging full of concealer? or an illusion?
no, it's a screw.
It is concealer.
“You’re beautiful, we’re getting there!” 😂
I hate that i can't open the thing to get the extra wasted product
Wow I wish all products were made so that all the product would come out like that😍
I like it better with the sponge it apply better and I feel like it gets to thick and dryer when you take it off
Omg I’m loving the blue nails
"A project panner's dream..." It is!!!
I ended up taking the sponge off mine when I realized I could remove it. I enjoy the efficient mechanism that gets out almost all the product though.
Damn I love that sound!
I use this all the time and it literally never crossed my mind you could use it without the sonnge! Definitely gonna give it a try
I usually use the sponge but remove every 3/4 days and give it a good wash lmao
So basically wash out .10 of product every 4 days? In a month, uve washed 1/5 of the product down the drain.. idk if I understand the "hygiene" aspect of it. If u wash ur face before use, then cap n store hygienically.. why wash the applicator?
@@mom23js There is always going to be bacteria on the sponge, and sponges are notorious for harbouring and growing bacteria (especially given the fact that they're damp)
MiSti no ahah, i make sure to squeeze all the product out to use before washing, for me doe foot applicators are even more unhygienic unless you are regularly washing the wand. i don’t like to wast product but i find the sponge easy to use personally. you will never be able to get 100% out anyway. hope this was helpful :)
Mindblown
Ripping the sponge off is my jam 😌👌✨
