love the colors in this sponge set sponge texture is light metal holder is great [SEP] this is a lovely set of three sponges in nice colors of pink burgundy and teal it also comes with a great metal sponge holder a silicone brush cleaner and some cleaning solution the sponges are light and airy like most sponges like this on the market the burgundy sponge with the flat side is great for smooth applications the typical egg shaped teal and the hour glass pink sponges are good for blending or any large make up application the hour glass one is easy to hold in the centerthese feel good in the hands blend reasonably well and feel soft against my skin these blenders make a great gift for the make up obsessed i love that the sponges do not smell i tried other colored sponges and they smell like pencil shavings or other chemicals and these do noti personally do not use a silicone sponge cleaner i prefer to use my hands and soap and water but having the silicone cleaner with cleaning solution provided is a nice touchthe sponges themselves are similar in style to all of the others that i tried before this to me what set of sponges to buy all comes down to the price and the angles one wants on the sponges as well as whether it is for gifting or not the colors are important too at least to me the current price of is a great deal for this
