Black X Pink Beauty Blender: Are these the same thing?

Hello everyone, how are you?

    Have you ever had a question like that about the Beauty Blender? Well, I'm here to tell you what I found out of this two. After all, an original Beauty Blender comes at a very salty price (at least for me), for you to waste your money...

    As you can see from the photo, my pink sponge needed to be changed. I took advantage of a friend who went to visit some relatives outside Brazil and asked her to bring one for me (who never?). When it came to choosing, I thought, "Why not a different color?" - there I chose the black, without researching on the subject...

Let's talk a little about the original first: The Pink Beauty Blender revolutionized the world of makeup because it is a very soft sponge that leaves an extremely perfect finish for the powder, concealer, foundation and so on. You should always soak the sponge, I say, put it underwater even. After removing the excess water is that we can use. And that fits any sponge! You'll notice it's going to get a lot bigger. You can see that in the photo above, they can not fit in their packaging of so chubby that they stay.

    At first I did not get along with it. I thought it did not make any difference. But after trying other sponges, I saw that this was the best.

About the black: I soon realized that the texture is different. It's the same material as the pink but the plot must be different. It is more dense, firmer. The website says it is indicated for the application of long lasting products of dark coloring, such as bronzer.

What I noticed: Man, I went to test with my concealer and the experience was not good. This sponge does not stay wet for long. For me, that's the most negative point. Because in this way, it sucks much more product than normal, and of course it did not work to pass the concealer with it.

    After that I went to do some research. I tested it with my creamy bronzer and I can tell it worked. But the problem is that it dries fast. I left a spray on my desk to get around this situation.

   Another good finishing tip is for the foundation. As it gets drier, it ends up removing excess foundation from the face, improving the finish. It was also good at applying the powder in the area below the eyes.

    In general, it is good. But if I stop to think, I'd rather have the sponge help me finish my concealer under my eyes. The pink does it very well and is still good at all other things. If you are planning to invest in this product, start with the pink.
