I got mine on Amazon and use it daily. It takes a little getting used to but it's very smooth on your face and cuts down on the amount of foundation you use (a good thing when you use a pricey foundation). You still have to use a brush to blend though. I think the best thing about it is that it's so easy to clean. You still have to clean your brush at some point but not as often.

@I am still oxox, @Shanus Silicone sponges are different from the Beauty Blender type. The silicones feel a bit like using fingers to apply makeup, but I was not overwhelmed with the application. It might be something that could grow on me if I continue to use that type of applicator. Some may appreciate that the makeup does not absorb into the silicone as it does with other types of sponges and brushes. On the other hand, I have almost completely abandoned my brushes for Beauty Blender and dupes. I now have a variety of sizes and shapes of this type of sponge.

Tried the silicone sponge and hated it. It smeared my foundation and it didn’t look nice at all. I’m sticking with fingers and brushes.

@JeanLouiseFinch@I am still oxox I’ve never tried that “sponge” & doubt that I would. I find that a brush and/or warmth of clean hands afterwards seem to do a great blending job for me.

I can't see how you can apply foundation with this silicone product. I will stick with my Real Techniques foundation sponge.

If you want to try a silicone makeup tool, they sell plenty of them at T.J. Maxx and Winners and they are pretty cheap. I tried one and don't particularly like it. They are basically a plastic bag heat sealed with silicone gel inside the plastic bag. They aren't anything special.
