Does not work for everybody. If you like this kind of sponge the quality of it is nice but it’s big. You can cut it in half at a angle and get by. I will not be ordering again because it’s just not my style. But in my desperate search for new make up sponges since Sally’s has discontinued theirs, it’s all I could find that is the same type of quality sponge. If you like a clean sponge every day this is not for you. The make up will stay in your sponge no matter how many times you wash it out.I love itGreat product! I'm not a big makeup user and I was very skeptical to begin with on whether this would actually make a difference when I apply makeup. My friend convinced me to purchase this blender (and the green kind specifically), otherwise I would probably never have purchased it. But it really does make a difference! It smoothed everything out and made everything more even. It's easy to clean. I just use cetaphil soap and warm water to clean mine. But they recommend adding a little olive oil on it too which I am going to try the next time I wash it.Works well.These are my favorite sponges of all time. I love the shape of oval sponges. These are soft, they are the perfect shapes for me. I think that they make my foundation look flawless.The sponges expands when soaked in water. I fill up a bowl, I dip the sponge and then I leave in the water while I do whatever it is that I do. I am going to buy a ton more of these.I purchased the green sponges because I have very small eyes and getting concealer on and having it look not caked on has always been a challenge. With this little green wonder, I can get great coverage that blends perfectly. I had no trouble washing out the concealer after using, and so far they have held up perfectly. Seller was great, too. I received follow up emails to ensure my satisfaction, which is always a great touch! I am definitely going to purchase the sampler pack next!Had high expectations for this sponge, as the black Beauty Junkees sponge is my all time favorite makeup sponge, however I was disappointed. The consistency of this sponge is not the same as their black sponge. I tried it for under eye concealer as the pointy shape is good for that, but it soaked up most of the concealer (even when using the sponge damp) and it also seemed to soak up/smudge my foundation that was on my cheek under my eyes instead of blending the concealer into it. Also be aware that this sponge is about the same width as their black sponge (similar to a Beauty Blender size), so while it is slim and pointy at the ends the sponge itself is very long and large, larger than the black sponge. I was expecting it to be a small/mini size. Lastly, this was purchased with my own money.I don't understand why this isn't the default shape for all makeup sponges. I find it the most versatile. These sponges apply CC cream and liquid foundation or concealer with a velvety finish, and they last well and take to cleaning very well.
