beauty sponge [SEP] i consider myself a bit of a beauty sponge snob from the reviews i thought this would be soft yet substantial not so much it got a tear in it the second time i used it i have sponges i ve been using for almost a year and they haven t torn mind you i have maybe sponges it didn t have the bounce i like or the texture i won t be repurchasing if you like your makeup sponges a little bit denser you might like this one
