It's half the price with better results.

Hey dudes! I'm Augusta, a beauty editor at BuzzFeed. I'm here to talk to you about something very near and dear to my heart: Cheap-ass makeup dupes that legitimately work.
I could walk into Sephora and justify spending like $75 on a foundation if it made me look the way this Snapchat filter does. But I barely have $15 to spend on foundation, let alone $75, so I try to stick to budget products.

If there's one thing I've dupe hunted regularly, it's the Beautyblender, an egg-shaped sponge used for applying makeup. It costs $20 and lasts three months, which essentially means spending $80 per year on fancy sponges. Check, please.
Beautyblenders are like the Steve Buscemi of beauty videos on YouTube. They make an appearance in countless videos and they make everyone look better. But would anyone really notice if the production company saved money on a cheaper actor for the role? Probably not.

So far, in the search to find a less-expensive-but-still-fancy sponge, the best alternative has been this lil' orange guy from Real Techniques.
It's a sponge that does the same exact thing for a quarter of the price of a Beautyblender.
