Are these sponge dupes, similar, or is one a dud?
Most of you may know about the ever so loved Beauty Blender that retails for $20. This is an amazing gizmo to blend foundation, concealer, cream products, etc. When the Real Techniques released their Complexion Sponge, which retails for $7, I had to get my hands on it. The question is; is it a dupe?
Hint: I prefer one over the other.
Does the RT sponge expand when you dampen it?
Yes, it expands twice it's size when it's dampened.
Is the RT sponge soft and spongey like the Beauty Blender?
Yes. The RT is very soft and spongey. I even think is even softer than the Beauty Blender.
Does the RT sponge absorb product?
No, just like the Beauty Blender, you must dampen the sponge and product won't be absorbed into the sponge.
Do you clean the RT sponge just as you would clean the Beauty Blender?
Yes. Same concept!
Does the RT sponge stain?
No, I've had mine for 6 months or so. I have not experienced any staining.
Tip: I do clean my sponges with warm water.
------------------------------------------------
As I said before I prefer one over the other. These sponges are exactly the same but the Real Technique's sponge wins my love. What does it have that the Beauty Blender doesn't? The flat end!
Well, the $13 dollar difference is a plus too.
It's perfect to press and dab product into the skin. If you want more coverage on a particular area, the end is great for that!
If you have any two products that you would love for me to do comparisons, comment down below or tag on Instagram/Twitter @nessmarg.
