I was really glad to find another reasonable sounding dupe for a beauty blender which wasn't $30+ because I hate paying that much for a sponge which ideally should only be used for like 4 months before it gets gross. This is an OK sponge, much better than another $10 one I tried (QVS, don't do it, turn back, it's so bad), but it still needs work. It's weirdly dense in the middle and has a tendency to leave patches of unblended foundation. Still, since MUR's shipping costs got ridiculous, this is the best cheap blender I've tried.
