Drugstore makeup sponge full coverage?

I've heard a million raves about the beauty blender, but the thing is that I have pinkness on my cheeks that I want to hide with foundation (blotchy pinkness, not blushy pinkness) and I hear that the beauty blender gives sheer coverage.

What are some super cheap, drugstore makeup sponges I could use? And how do I apply to make a full coverage foundation that looks like skin, not makeup?

Note: I use cream foundation, my skin can't take liquid.

    the BB is fantastic and I highly recommend it. The reason it works so well is because when you wet it and ring it out, it gets maybe 50% larger, and every surface is rounded. So it cant leave streaks or lines on your face. That way you can dab/bounce the foundation on and not sit there and rub it in. It sits lighter on the skin, but gives the same coverage.

    To my knowledge there are none in the drugstore (that ive come across) that are shaped the same. The sonia kashuk one is too hard. I know they do sell a knock off at Sephora and at Ulta. Id see if there is one of those nearby. I think they go for maybe 6 bucks-ish.

    And for application, all you have to do is dot it on your face and start bouncing that sponge on it. It stipples it all over.

    I wouldn't use a sponge, it tends to absorb a lot of the foundation therefore you go through more than you put on your face. Use a brush - Walmart has a few like a bamboo line or ELF has some for $1-$3.
