Beauty Blender vs. Sonia Kashuk Blender

Recently after I switched foundations I wasn't liking the way it ended up looking.  I was using the MAC 187 brush with MAC Face & Body foundation I looked FLAWLESS but when I switched to Studio Sculpt, the 187 wasn't giving that look I loved.  LIGHT BULB!  I've had the Beauty Blender & the Sonia Kashuk Blender for a long time but forgot about them after I realized they soaked up too much Face & Body foundation.  Both sponges get me that flawless finish I like but How do they compare & which one is better???

How do they compare & which one is better ???

[Both sponges dry -- BB is smaller than the Sonia Kashuk Blender.]

 

[ Both Sponges damp --  BB doubles in size while the Sonia Kashuk blender stays the same.]

 

>>> I've had the Beauty Blender for way longer (almost 2 years) & used it more and its still the same as when I bought it.  I've had the Sonia Kashuk Blender not even a year & hardly ever used it & its already beginning to crumble in some areas.  So while it is cheaper you'll have to replace it more often.

 

>>> Another thing I don't like about the Sonia Kashuk is that it stays the same size when damp.  At first it didn't bother me but I soon realized that makes it soak up more product & makes it harder to wash.

>>> I purchased my BB at The Make-Up Show NYC several years back for cheaper than $20 but it isn't available at a local store, Target like the Sonia Kashuk blender. 

 >>> Right of the bat many people think cheaper is better, so the Sonia Kashuk is their obvious choice.  Don't get me wrong it gets you that flawless finish, but if I had to choose the Beauty Blender would be my choice.  

 

 >>> But its a consumer's choice.  If you prefer Instant Gratification than the Sonia Kashuk would be your choice tho slightly lesser quality.  If you prefer a better quality product Beauty Blender would be your choice because tho slightly more expensive it lasts longer as a result of quality.
