Hello ladies title says it all
I have tried beauty blender dupes but I don't really like them because the feel really hard and latexy if that makes sense So I heard these two products are the same thing I don't know what do you all think?

Hi Melissa, the beauty blender and the real techniques are no where similar at all the textures are different the sizes are different and the performances are different. The beauty blender feels like a micro phone cover it's soft light and bouncy plus when wet it gets bigger. I personally took up that challenge to see if the real techniques was up to par compairing the two, the beauty blender out beats it and no dice for the RT not even close. ;)

I have had the beauty blender for a long time and In my experience I feel like I can't use anything else for my foundation or concealer unless it's the beauty blender. I have not tried the real techniques yet but from the reviews and experiences other people had with it it wasn't great. It absorbed most of the product and doesn't give a nice finish that a beauty blender would give. Yes the beauty blender is alil pricey but I'm telling you you will get your money's worth.

Yeah Shanae ^ lol. My dupes expand in size when wet and I personally loved them. They work fine for me. (I've tried RT, Soho, and StudioBasics)

I want to get the real techniques too and try it out myself and see if I like it or not. But if you do get a beauty blender Shanae I would get the white one Emma B. Mentioned cause the pink one bleeds ALOT the first few times of washing it.

That's cool! Thank you! I'd probably opt for the white or black one. But I saw an orange real techniques one at kohls, is that anything specific or just a color? I was going to get it because it's my favorite color haha.

I use the real techniques one, I've liked it for a month or two but it's starting to disappoint me compared to when it was "newer", I'm on the hunt for a good foundation brush now as the sponge just isn't doing it for me anymore. I'd try the real techniques to see how it works for you, I only purchased mine to see if a sponge would apply better on my dry patches all over my nose but it really made no difference to me so I can't find any extra pros about it except the fact I find it faster to apply foundation.

I prefer the feel of the beauty blender however both do work really well. Really depends mostly on how much you want to spend/what shape your prefer.
