Hello Infatuated Beauties :) finally the day is here to do a product throw down between the Beauty Blender Pro and the Essence of Beauty Precision Blender Sponge. In November when I reviewed the Precision Blender sponge I promised that I would purchase the Beauty Blender so that I could review it and see if it really lives up to the hype. Now that I have used the Beauty Blender Pro for around 4 months I can give my unbiased opinion. If you haven't checked out my review on the Precision Blender Sponge check in out.
Beauty Blenders have been raved about raved about for the last two years by every makeup guru on Youtube or Instagram, and according to most purchasing this makeup sponge is a great investment whether you are using it for personal use or you're makeup kit. Due to the Beauty Blenders making such hype many brands have made their own version. I couldn't bring myself to spend the $20 a sponge, but in November when I received the my 20% off coupon from Sephora I decided I would give in an try it.
How are they similar?
- both makeup sponges can be used to apply cream, liquid, or powder
- they are best when used damp
- When wet they both grow in size
- Latex Free
- Leave a Flawless Finish to the skin
How are they different?
- Sponge Shape
- Softness and texture of the sponge
- Beauty Precision Blender is vitamin E infused
- Color (the original beauty blender also comes in pink)
- less staining due to the pro beauty blender being black

Summary...
In my previous post about the beauty blender dupe I raved about how amazed I was with it and had found it to be awesome. It was a spectacular addition to my makeup routine. The size, shape, and texture of the sponge are great, but most importantly the reason I was so stoked was the price at $4.99 a sponge and found at CVS it just couldn't be beat. The Precision Blender Sponge lasts about 2 months depending on how well they are taken care of.The Beauty Blender Pro
Now that I have been using the beauty blender for about 4-5 months I must admit I have fallen IN LOVE with it. I love the shape, the size but what I love the most about it is the feel and manageability. The beauty blender is just much softer. It is also a better tool in my experience for foundation. I don't actually use either sponge for foundation because I prefer my brush, but in all honesty the shape of the beauty blender is more adequate. I loved the beauty blender so much that even with it being $19.95 a sponge or the duo for $28.95 ($39.90 value) I have repurchased back ups with my Sephora Spring Event VIB 15% off coupon. I have been using my beauty blenders for about 4-5 months and they are still running strong lol ;).
The Verdict
The Beauty Blender Pro is the WINNER! I give this product a 10/10 hands down. I am not the kind of beauty junkie who likes to splurge if I can find a great product for a lesser price I will use it, but after first being in love with the Essence of Beauty Precision Blender Sponge and now actually trying the beauty blender and comparing I choose the Beauty Blender Pro! The raving in this case is RIGHT. I still recommend the Essence of Beauty Precision Blender Sponge for anyone who's looking for a comparable product but doesn't want to spend the extra money. I still consider it an awesome dude and I love the fact that you find it at the drugstore (CVS).
