I've repurchased this sponge so many times!! When I apply foundation after soaking it in Maquillage Makeup Keep Mist, it gives a radiant finish! I used to use Rosy Rosa disposable sponges, but after using this one, I can't use anything else!!
I bought this along with my cream foundation. I use it to set and layer my foundation after applying it with my fingers. Compared to the cheap, large-capacity sponges, it feels great on the skin and doesn't absorb too much foundation, making it a completely different experience. It seems a little pricey, but if there aren't any other good sponges available, I'd like to buy it again.
I bought this product because it has good reviews and is often sold out even though it has been on the market for a while. It is soft, feels good on the skin, and is easy to use. The beige color makes it a little prone to smudging, as I like to blend my liquid blush with a puff. The concealer also doesn't come off easily, even after a bit of washing. I like this color because it's easy to clean, but I now use a separate disposable sponge to blend my concealer, so it's a bit of a hassle.
My &be sponge was getting old, so I went to the store to buy a new one, but it was sold out and I couldn't find anything, so I tried Kanebo instead. The &be sponge expands and becomes very soft and chewy when wet, but the Kanebo sponge doesn't make a huge difference between using it with and without water. It's easy to use because you can apply it to the wide areas of your cheeks and forehead with the surface, and even to the small areas with the sides and tip of the droplet! I also felt like it absorbed foundation less easily. I try to wash it on the same day I use it, but I'm grateful that it doesn't get worn out even when I scrub it quite hard!
Repeat purchase! I love how the soft and elastic sponge fits snugly against my skin. I often use either this or the Credo sponge, and both leave my skin looking beautiful.
