I have a gig Saturday and my lollipop smoothie blenders were trashed at an event today! Is there a store I can buy them from that's local (like will Walmart have something comparable) or should I be buying $20 express shipping and getting 20 from Metina??

Cosmetic powder-puffs? (I don't use Starblends so I have no idea, but I think I remember someone saying they use the puffs with them?)

I use the cosmetic puffs - 3 for $1 at Dollar Tree. I also use the foam wedges - they work fairly well.

The puffs work very well for coverage.

Good luck!

Not looking for extreme coverage - I'm using for a Ben Nye Lumierre palette. I feel powder puffs = too much product waste and difficult to apply.

should I try eye shadow applicators?

Eye shadow applicators are really just mini smoothie blenders, after all, yes?

You can get smoothie blenders in the brush section at Micheal's sometimes!

At our Walmart supercenters here, you can find smoothie blenders in the cosmetic brush section.

I really like the cosmetic sponge wedges for Starblends (28/$1 at the dollar store), but I've never used Ben Nye.
