These are great! Great price, too! I read reviews first and almost didn't buy these bc someone said they weren't any good, they were stiff, and not soft like the Real Techniques brand they usually buy. So, I thought, hmmm, let's look into this. So I bought this brand AND the aforementioned RT brand. Gotta say, there's hardly a difference, especially for the price difference. In fact, the RT brand is starting to break down. After 2 uses, I rubbed the side I used on a washcloth to get off any debris, and there are now pits in them (RT). This cheaper brand blends my makeup just as well and is holding up like all the other sponges I have bought in the past. They are super soft, dense, smooth and work great. In my humble opinion, BUY THESE AND SAVE YOUR MONEY. There's no need to spend 3x the price on fewer sponges with the other RT brand (with their logo branded into the sponge-they're fancy. Lol.). Hope this helps you make your decision.
