I waited to buy one of these make-up sponges.. I saw them wanted one but I'm cheap and I'm always last on the list to buy stuff for. I thought "Ohh.. I just bought one at the dollar store.." Ladies lets be real any make up sponges from the dollar store are not that awesome. I'm just getting into make up I grew up in a house where my mom was super busy and I didn't really learn how to do make up. BUT! This is now a must have!! I use SO. MUCH. LESS. MAKEUP. It spreads on nicely. I don't feel like I'm caking it on. I LOVE them! My makeup looks nicer. I can not say enough about them at all. AMAZING!
