But not everyone shared their experience, far from.

It turns out, if you don’t pay attention to the very specific instructions and timings, not only will the beauty hack fail to clean anything, but as people have shown, will have pretty hilarious and even disastrous consequences.

Some forgot to put the sponge in water and have ended up with a melted pile of steaming plastic.

Other users are warning against squeezing the sponge when you take it out as many have burnt their hands on the boiling hot water!

If you try the microwave beauty blender hack DO NOT SQUEEZE THE WATER OUT! Burnt my hand so bad

We've know that beauty is pain, but we are drawing the line at squeezing boiling hot foundation water all over our hands! We don't have this level of skill so will just spend the £3 replacing ours. You have been warned!
