Not what I thought it was
-03.05.13
Quick Take: dual-ended, reusable
I was thinking this was going to be softer and less porous, but it is very spongey and kind of rough. I'm sure it's fine if this is what you were looking for, but not me.

Quick Take: reusable
Wasn't crazy about these -- but I think I like a more compact sponge. These felt way to light to handle makeup.

Quick Take: reusable, easy to clean, natural looking finish, affordable
I was looking for a new way to apply makeup that didn't leave streaks and just looked more natural. I found this sponge and bought it because I love make up forever. When I tried it the next day, oh my god. I usually have a hard time getting the makeup around my nose to stay cause I'm super oily. This sponge just made me look AMAZING. I looked flawless, no streaks, no separation. Everyone commented on how good my make up looked.
Now I don't know how I would every apply my makeup without this sponge.

Worth it
-02.07.12
This is the only sponge I have found that I like to apply foundation with. It doesn't absorb too much of the foundation like other sponges, and it's easy to spread. The sponge is easy to wash, too.

Quick Take: synthetic hair
I have been looking for a few years for the right sponge. I used something previously by Max Factor. No longer made. I have really had a problem ever since. Seems like all the sponges now soak up TOOOOOOOOO much product. I ordered two online because the closest store did not carry them. Anyway, I am ecstatic this is fabulous. I AM REALLY HAPPY. I also use Make Up
Forever HD Microfinish Blush. BOTH PRODUCTS ARE MARVELOUS. For years whenever I went to New York I used to go to Sephora. Now, thank you for coming to Philadelphia.

GREAT SPONGE SAVES $$ OVER THE LONG RUN
-08.01.11
Quick Take: soft, easy to clean
I've always felt that many cosmetic (and beauty product) applications are only as good as the brushes, puffs, and sponges used to apply them. Sure, sometimes Q-Tips and fingers are the better choice for certain eye shadows and concealers, but when it comes to products that need sponges, a poor quality sponge will hold too little, or too much product, or it won't clean well. It might fall apart quickly, or it might be difficult to clean. MUFE's Round Synthetic Sponge is a perfect sponge for any liquid application, and works well for some powder applications, too. It works for cream based products, too. It cleans easily, too. Because it's well made and doesn't soak up too much product, there's little waste of expensive cosmetic products which sometimes happens with poorly made sponges. I've been happy with this sponge which is very long lasting, and easy to clean.

Quick Take: synthetic hair
I have bought this sponge before. Let me just say that it is fantastic. It lasts a long time compared to other sponges that I have bought especially washing it. It does not fall apart so easily and it dries very quickly. It applies make up very easily and smoothly. I bought several for my daughter and she just loves them. Mine finally wore out so I just bought a couple ot them for myself. Great sponge!!!!!!!!

There is a sponge that Sephora sells in the store that I like better, but this is a nice lightweight sponge. It is very soft on your face.

what a sponge!!!!!
-04.03.11
I just love this sponge. Main reason is that it lasts a long time and doesn't fall apart so easily when I wash it with dish soap to get it clean. It dries quickly and when applying make up with this sponge, it blends it in so well. I am truly amazed. I bought some for my daughter as well and she just raves about it. Definitely a must have.

High quality sponge...
-09.03.10
Quick Take: soft, durable
I saw this new sponge that MUFE has introduced to their line of products and had to give it a try. At $8 that might seem like an awful lot of money to pay when you can buy a whole pack of sponges at the discount store for less than half that, but believe me it’s worth it. The sponge is large and round and easy to hold onto. It is soft against my skin and blends my liquid makeup perfectly. It doesn’t soak up too much makeup like some sponges I’ve used when blending and if I use it wet to apply my liquid makeup it doesn’t soak up a lot of makeup so there is not a lot of waste. It’s also super easy to clean and I just sit it out and let it air dry and it’s ready for the next day’s use. I have washed mine several times already and it washes and dries into the same perfectly round shape as it was brand new. It hasn’t began to break up or become less sturdy after being washed several times either like the cheaper sponges I’ve used. This sponge does a great job with liquid makeup for me whether I’m just using it to blend or whether I’ve used it to apply my foundation. In my opinion this is a sturdy, soft, high quality sponge that I would recommend to anyone.
