I have used 4 in less than 6 months. They tear so easily, you cannot apply your makeup with the sponge and tap as I see so many people do. It does not make your makeup as smooth as the beauty blender does at all. I had been buying Urban Decay's Naked Weightless foundation in 0.5 and applying it with RT sponge and thought I was doing something wrong. So I stopped buying the foundation and switched to its dupe and bought a beauty blender and my face has never been more flawless. I tried countless foundations throughout the months thinking it was the liquid I was using, it was definitely the applicator. Switching back to UD as soon as possible. The Beauty Blender is amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260404395732488741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-54435911292456793052016-01-17T01:02:44.703-08:002016-01-17T01:02:44.703-08:00The real techniques sponge is a dupe that is every...The real techniques sponge is a dupe that is every bit as good as the original, maybe even better in some ways and it's only $6. It's not called a beauty blender though, it's a slightly different shape (which is why I like it better in some ways, because it has a narrower point on the end and a nice large area for blending the larger areas of your face and the tip makes getting into small, tight areas very easy. It expands when wet, is just as soft as the original and it sometimes goes on sale for buy one get one free. The only thing I'd recommend is buying online or at least calling to make sure there is one in stock before heading to the store. They're so great they're almost always sold out. Keep an extra on hand in case you need it so you're not frantically trying to chase one down. And when they go on sale, buy a bunch so you can get the good price and not have to worry about running out and finding one in a hurry. If the real techniques were pink, I would be in heaven, but the price and how well they work make having an orange sponge totally worth it to meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418600728827415506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-69945852651258712762015-03-14T21:26:45.340-07:002015-03-14T21:26:45.340-07:00LOL well, it's possible that you would get the...LOL well, it's possible that you would get the real thing. And, if you've ever had a Real one, then you'd know for sure if you got a dupe. However, if you've not ever had one before just to be on the safe side I'd purchase from Sephora for sure! And I shop Amazon ALWAYS, but I've read so many reviews from people getting fakes I'd just be afraid to risk it.Jessica Hubbardhttp://sassygalreads.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-30963851795481560602015-03-14T21:16:05.267-07:002015-03-14T21:16:05.267-07:00I was just about to head to Amazon (my fav place) ...I was just about to head to Amazon (my fav place) but maybe sephora will have to do.CiaSayshttp://ciasays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-72911052787971695252015-03-14T21:13:43.959-07:002015-03-14T21:13:43.959-07:00Thanks!

However, I know When I'm washing I have fingernails and so I wonder if I'm damaging it when I'm squeezing it. I just saw a little thing that you can use to help with cleaning the BB and I'm definitely going to look into purchasing that one!Jessica Hubbardhttp://sassygalreads.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-75358057055613494142015-03-14T21:00:11.808-07:002015-03-14T21:00:11.808-07:00I have several dupes as well and they don't w...I have several dupes as well and they don't work nearly as great as the bb. I got mine two months ago and it's starting to split up top. I think it's because I'm use Zote to clean it. I would invest in the bb solid cleanser so that yours won't crack/split like mine did.0208paulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186817748470348935.post-76574730885976314562015-03-14T20:45:46.231-07:002015-03-14T20:45:46.231-07:00Love my beauty blender!!
