And I bought it influenced by the five-star reviews and its price. Because I already have the original Beauty Blender and the Real Techniques sponge, I can tell you that this one not only doesn't compare, but it is literally garbage!
Very hard and very porous, it absorbs a lot of product and doesn't blend anything, neither makeup nor powder. The material is very similar to a dish sponge.
I gave it more than 1-2 chances before throwing it away!

I bought it because of the reviews, but it didn't suit me very well. It has nothing to do with the beauty blender. The makeup doesn't spread evenly, it leaves water on my face, like small gaps somehow, and I need to apply it again and again to spread it well. Also, it feels somewhat rough, like it scratches me a little. In the end, when I apply setting powder and dab it in certain areas like my nose, it ruins the result. I used the beauty blender from the same company, which is perfect, and I will buy it again.

I bought the sponge just to reach the minimum amount for free shipping. It's amazing!!! It spreads the foundation so quickly and evenly. It's not like a beauty blender, you don't wet it (at least I don't think the material is meant to be wet), but it does the same, if not better, job with minimal product.

By far the best makeup sponge I have tried!!! It doesn't absorb product, spreads evenly, washes easily, and lasts for years!!! The price is excellent and it has nothing to envy from expensive sponges of other well-known brands!!! Just awesome!!!
