Quick Beauty NTK

As I find little beauty life hacks, I figured I would put them up as NTK's aka, need to knows! 
Because I am the type of person that discovers something and immediately RUNS for my phone so I can spread the news! And frankly, you will thank me for this! 
So what is this beauty EMERGENCY you ask?!
GAME CHANGING BEAUTY BLENDER CLEANSER! 
I've tried quite a bit to get my sponges squeekey clean (I am quite the insane germaphobe) and get the residual makeup out. But honestly, foundation is a real B**** to get out! 
I've been testing out a few oil cleansers for my skincare routine and had one that didn't really agree with my skin type but, kicked my makeups butt to the curb if you know what I'm saying. Haha. The secret...
 The Ulta Hydra Quench Foaming Oil Cleanser $18.00 for 6.2ozhttp://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4920047
No it isn't the cheapest thing in the world, I know, but if we are comparing to the actual Beauty Blender cleanser which is $17.95 (online only I might add) for 4oz. That's a pretty good deal. And to be honest, the Beauty Blender cleanser has absolutely NOTHING on this! I just used a couple of pumps, squished my sponges around in the water, and the makeup was gone! I just used a bit of baby shampoo after and rinsed! 
This is the Real Techniques Miracle Complection Sponge. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5960824
Still fairly new so no time to form horrible stains, but I will be honest with my beauty companions. I might have left this poor guy with foundation in it for a week because I completely forgot I had it. As you can see there is 0 traces of makeup! 
And the infamous Beauty Blender. http://m.sephora.com/beautyblender-P228913?skuId=1151877&icid2=beautyblender_bestsellers_carousel_P228913_image&skuId=1151877
Now this poor baby I've had for about 6 months now and with the use of rRevlon color stay... Well staining is just a fact of life. But I have to say this looks 100X better than it did! 
So give it a go if you have one of these guys! I can tell you I won't be using anything else in the near future!
If you want a more in depth blog about how I clean my sponges just let me know!
Thank you for reading!
