daughter says these makeup sponges work great [SEP] the price seems great for this whole set of blending sponges although my daughter really only uses the orange one she likes it best because it has both round and flat sides and a tip it has held up to daily use and washes up well too she has used a wide variety of beauty blenders over the years and says these sponges blend as well as any other the eye shadow brush is a nice added bonus but the stand and powder puffs seem unnecessary at least for her
