Save your money. No way to clean the actual sponge part without ruining the sponge.

Dont waste your money
It fell apart (split in the middle) after two uses. I’ve used this brand before and never had an issue but this was terrible. Waste of money!

In love!
This is THE sponge. I'm using less foundation then I was used to with the regular sponges. It also spreads makeup better, but it's mandatory to aplly it with small taps for a good finish

So much better than the sponge alone
Cleaner and a more polished look. I wish the pad lasted longer though. Still worth the price.

Great BUT
I picked this up on a whim in Ulta today and immediately tried it once I got home. Upon immediate use I really loved it because the fingertip side allowed me to distribute the product nicely while using less than a full pump. I flipped the sponge over and used the soft side to blend everything and it looked so good! The only downside, wiping the finger print side is easy but I wanted to clean the makeup off the sponge side so I washed it like my other sponges and immediately realized the design flaw. When the sponge expands during cleaning, the fingerprints are seemingly pulling away from the sponge once it expanded. But I don't see another way of cleaning the sponge side without having it expand. I dont want to have to switch to another product to blend everything but I dont see how I'll be able to use the sponge side regularly without cleaning it.

Dumbest product I've ever heard of
It's no better than a regular makeup sponge. First of all, makeup application has nothing to do with fingerprints, it's not fingerprints that make makeup application smooth, it's an actual finger, it's hard but bouncey, doesn't absorb makeup, you can actually feel the amount of pressure you're applying. And regular makeup sponges don't absorb much product if they're damp, it's not like they just soak up all your foundation. Anyway, this makeup sponge is ridiculous.

Not For Me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makeup sponge is bleh. Nothing amazing about it. The smooth side didn't really do anything special. It holds true that it doesn't absorb the makeup as much as other sponges do, but I just don't notice anything different or better than other sponges. The fingerprint side feels odd, of course, but I don't see it applied to my face any better. I wouldn't buy it.

Great blender!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this blender. The shape is really nice for fitting the contours ofy face. I like that the color is beige which makes it look less messy with my foundation on it. It feels quality and like it will last a while. I would definitely consider purchasing when this one gets old.

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the sponge is latex-free. I am not too keen on the on the textured side. It does allow for less product to be used as it absorbs 90% less makeup. The textured side is easier to clean as all you have to do is give it a wipe to remove excess product after use. The other side is a regular makeup sponge, and it offers a lot of angles to help with even application.

Undecided
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it but honestly don't know how I exactly feel about the plastic layer. I know it's there to help with application but I don't see a difference. Is it worth the money to spend on…maybe but for me I probably wouldn't and just stick to the original

AMAZING
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sponge is my new go to! I use it daily as it is so much better then a typical blender sponge as the smoothness saves makeup from being absorbed! Leaves my makeup with a flawless finish! I will be a repeat customer!

Great new sponge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this product free for my honest opinion. It took a second to get used to the feeling, but the finish is great! The packaging is cute and simple. Great bang for your buck. I would recommend this
