BATTLE OF THE DUPES #66: beautyblender vs. SHEIN

PACKAGING (beautyblender): The sponge comes in a plastic tube. PACKAGING (SHEIN): Comes in a thick plastic egg and then in a plastic bag. beautyblender Purchased from: Cult Beauty Price: £17.50 SHEIN Purchased from: SHEIN Price: £1.00 This is what the sponges look like dry. I use my beautyblender wet so I wet them both.
