I love these sponges for makeup application. I always loved the MAC sponge wedges, but are to expensive. In my hunt for finding ones close to them, and after buying terrible ones, thankfully I found these, and they are excellent! They are use, and throw away, would not recommend washing them, though perhaps one could. One wedge is good for 3 applications using the clean side of each sponge per application. They are very soft and plyable, not stiff. I hope Walmart never gets rid of these. I wish they were a bit more affordable, though I am happy they are cheaper than MAC sponges and just as good.
