This is a great dupe for the original beauty blender, at half the price for 2! They are super easy to clean and have a flat side that I love for powder. I find it a tiny bit more stiff then the beauty blender but it's really not a huge difference. I will definitely continue to buy these.

This is my second make up sponge I've tried and I must say this one is LIGHT YEARS better than the other. This sponge is of a much finer texture and it leaves a nice even layer of foundation on my skin. It is easy to wash and seems quite durable.

Great dupe for the beauty blender. The sponge is super easy to clean, can be used wet or dry and is very soft when used either way, Love the pointy tip, great for blending concealer under the eyes, the flat edge for applying powder, and the larger rounded edge for blending foundation.

This is my all time favourite beauty sponge! Not only is it affordable, but it is great for every area of the face. I love how multi tasking the sponge is and how it has the perfect amount of density and softness, doesn't soak up the product too much, easy to clean & works great for contouring.

This is the best cheap beauty sponge I have used. I have uses others and wont buy them anymore. This one is pretty great. It's no beauty blender but it gets the job done when you can't afford to buy the beauty blender. It does hold more water so you have to squeeze it a few times. It also absorbs more product but all in all, I like it.

I use this everyday to blend out my under eye concealer and it works so good! It's so soft and manageable! I sometimes wet mine a bit if my concealer is too dry and it works great like that too!

I bought my sponge two weeks ago & I LOVE my Beauty Blender but as an alternative and more affordable is this sponge! real techniques really did their homework because this sponge is SO nice it is denser but doesn't soak up product and waste it! I love this sponge how it has many different sides to it to get into those hard to reach areas and to blend my foundation & concealer out flawlessly.

I was at a makeup class at Shoppers Drug Mart my friend was teaching and she mentioned these sponges . She said they were really good . So after the class I went to Walmart to purchase them. The next day I wet the sponge and did my makeup with it. It blended my makeup very well and just left an overall good finish on my face . It helped with my makeup not looking cakey which is fantastic ! They're around 10 dollars at Walmart and worth every penny .

This is by far the best makeup sponge!
Every foundation/ bb cream/ concealer I've tried with this sponge comes out looking flawless! I've stopped using brushes for my base. I wet it under water then used it in dapping motions to blend out the product.

In comparison to a beauty blender I think that the RT one does a better job. I like the flat edge of the RT sponge better than the rounded bottom of a BB. I think the pointed end also holds it shape better as well.

Because these are so cheap I don't mind replacing it every three months which is recommended due to hygienic reasons. With the BB I felt like I was getting voluntarily robbed every time I went into Sephora for a re-purchase. I can get two of these sponges in a double pack at London Durgs for cheaper than one BB.

The RT sponges tend to get small rips (not really rips but it tends to wear away where you would hold it) by the end of a three month period anyways but I don't see this as a downside more like a reminder to get a fresh one and stop the spread of bacteria on my face. I do wash it out with hypoallergenic soap after every use which I feel contributions to the deterioration of the sponge.

The real techniques sponge is a great low cost dupe for the beauty blender. The only downside I noticed is that it soaks up a bit more foundation that the beauty blender. Other than that, it makes your foundation look more natural and not as cakey compared to using a makeup brush.
