i like the sponges [SEP] i like the sponges, they're pretty dense but they do blend concealer and foundation, it just takes a little longer than a beauty blender would. it's a much heavier type sponge when dry and wet,  they retain water more since its a thicker sponge than the beauty blenders do. if you're someone that doesn't want to feel the weight of a wet sponge then this isn't the one for you. im totally fine with the weight of it and how it blends, it takes a little longer but it still works, now this isn't a dupe for the beauty blender since it doesn't have the same feel and doesn't perform the same way as the original beauty blender. i would suggest this to be used more for blending contour and baking since it actually grabs the powders pretty well and doesn't suck them up when the sponge is wet. i like them and 4 should last me a long while.
