Love the colors in this sponge set; sponge texture is dense; metal holder is great [SEP] This is a lovely set of three sponges in Easter colors of green, pink, and lilac. It also comes with a great metal sponge holder. The sponges are dense unlike most sponges like this on the market. As a result, make-up does not soak in as easily.<br /><br />The one lilac sponge with a flat side is great for smooth applications. The typical egg-shaped (pink) and the hour-glass (green) sponges are good for blending or any large make-up application. The hour-glass one is easy to hold in the center.<br /><br />These 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 not.<br /><br />The sponges themselves are similar in style to all of the others that I tried before this with the exception that the sponges are on the dense side instead of airy. 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. These colors also make it perfect for the Easter Basket.<br /><br />At the current price of $6.99 it is a reasonable $1.75 per piece if I count the holder.
