This Not That: Beauty Blender

I’ve used both the Beauty Blender and the Paw Paw Wonder Blender, and honestly, the difference is night and day. When I first started using the Beauty Blender, I liked it—it did the job, but I always felt like I was going through my foundation way too fast. It gave a nice finish, but I couldn’t ignore how much product it seemed to soak up. I’d find myself restocking my foundation more often than I wanted to, and that adds up quickly.

Then I tried the Paw Paw Wonder Blender, and I was blown away. It’s just as soft—maybe even softer—and when you dampen it, it fluffs up beautifully. The blend is seamless, giving me that flawless, airbrushed look without having to work too hard. But what really sold me was how little product it absorbs. I noticed right away that I was using less foundation and still getting better coverage. It’s like it knows how to work smarter, not harder.

And let’s talk price—because wow. The Paw Paw Blender is so affordable that I can grab a few at a time and not feel guilty about replacing them regularly (which, let’s be honest, we should all be doing anyway). The shape is super versatile too. It fits perfectly under my eyes, around my nose, and still covers larger areas quickly. It’s also cruelty-free, which is a huge bonus in my book.

Since making the switch, I haven’t looked back. The Paw Paw Wonder Blender gives me everything I loved about the Beauty Blender and more—without the hefty price tag. If you’re still on the fence, trust me, it’s worth the try.
