Beauty Blender VS Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

After starting using the real techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, I wanted to try beauty blender and see how good it is. But to be honest, I was not very impressed by the result of beauty blender.

Sorry my beauty blender is a little dirty when it's dry. We can see when they are both dry, Beauty blender (BB) is obviously smaller than Real Techniques one (RT). When they are in wet condition, BB turned bigger a lot and RT just turned bigger a little.

About the quality, I will say definitely BB is better than RT. I don't know if it is just my unlucky that I got one RT sponge broke after I washed it for the very first time. But I have washed BB for several times and it is still in a good condition. 

When they are both wet, BB feels more elasticity than RT and RT seems remain more water inside so it feels softer in hand. The only problem about BB is it will leave color in the water when you wash it, so get a white one is a better choice.

Then I will show the pictures of my skin before and after applied foundation with these two sponges.

I have dry skin with some freckles. Apply foundation with wet sponge is always a good way for me. Using sponge will achieve light to medium coverage but it's buildable. The results of these two sponges, to be honest, I didn't feel much difference. Maybe BB is a little bit finer than RT. That's why I said that I was not much impressed by BB.

About the price, RT is USD$6 on its official website and it is about CAD$10 in Canada (Amazon.ca). BB is USD$19.99 on its official website while it is CAD$26 in Canada (Sephora). But for the quality, I think beauty blender worth it. Also I heard from a lot of people that the quality of Real Techniques sponge is not always the same. So my opinion is if you have low budget, I will say RT is a good choice. But I think BB's quality is worth the money.
