This sponge is fine! I wanted to buy the Beauty Blender but I found it less expensive alternative. It applies well to absorb the material without foundation. The point, I think is not accurate enough to reach the corner of the eye but it's not a very big problem. Now the problem is cleaning. It is extremely hard to clean and even if you spend 15 minutes to try to remove the foundation, you can try but it will not find deep its original color ... By cons, I do not have especially noticed that it disintegrated to progressively washes. See over time, I think I will still test the original Beauty Blender.
