LONDON – Bug haters, get out while you still can – this one ain't pretty.

Stevie Miller, a beauty professional from Norfolk, recently made a nauseating discovery while using her new Beauty Blender – a discovery that started off with a small hole in the spongy material and quickly got a whole lot worse.

At the beginning of the video, Stevie shows the hole she found in her Blender.

Then, she shows what she found after investigating with tweezers.

After pulling out a dead bug and then a wing (yep, an actual gross insect wing), Stevie investigated further.

Her next discovery (which came complete with discernible legs) was even worse.

The video, which Stevie filmed while simultaneously video chatting her family, is made even more entertaining by the commentary.

"Just do it, do it, it'll teach you to be independent," laughs Stevie's Mum over Skype, as Stevie attempts to remove a third bug while dissecting the sponge.

"I don't want to be independent," yells back Stevie. "IT'S GOT LEGS."

Although the Beauty Blender came from abroad, Stevie explained to Mashable that she got it through an authorised reseller in the UK.

"I'm yet to find exactly what they were," she said when we asked about the insects she discovered inside, "but I had someone look at them and they're not British bugs... so they must have crawled in and got comfortable before they reached the authorised reseller."

Describing how she felt when she was cutting up the Beauty Blender to look for more stowaways, Stevie said she had "MAJOR heebie-jeebies".

"Creeped me out so much, and I was scared loads of mini ones were going to come running out," she said. "Hence why I was shaking like a leaf."
