Real Techniques Beauty Blender dupe?

Has anyone else tried this sponge?
I have it but I never tried the original, so I can't say if it's a dupe or not.

However it does feel nice to apply foundation with, and I'm liking it so far.

Does anyone have both?

I haven't, but I've watched and read a lot of reviews on the Beauty Blender vs. a dupe, and most of the time the dupe measures up completely to the Beauty Blender's so called 'standards'.

I've never tried the actual thing but I definitely wanted to try the RT one because I am always very happy with the quality of the brushes, so I got it for Christmas and I actually like it! I had another dupe and it was terrible. I would definitely try the RT one. It's much, much more affordable (like $6 vs $20 something) and it's very soft. I didn't care for sponges too much in general but this one is great.

Haven't tried the real techniques sponge but no other dupes I've seen have measured up to the beauty blender at all. The texture is what makes the sponge what it is and it's basically like jeans. Yeah cheaper ones get the job done but once you've tried the real thing it's really hard to look back.
