These makeup sponges are hard to find. They are man made and very, very soft. I do not like using 'natural' sponges as killing a live entity is what has to be done.

I've been using these sponges for about 6 months and yep they go in the washing machine! Great texture, easy to work with, and after many washings they have held up great!

These sponges are really the best I have every used!!!! At first I thought the price was expensive for 4 sponges--(I always bought the cheap makeup sponges in the drugstore--they were convenient and cheap) But when I started using these sponges for liquid makeup and one for blush everyday The Quality Can't be Beat!!!! I wash them everyday with a little dish soap and water and they both come out clean--Thank you, Thank you Laura Mercier!!!! I will never go back to cheap drugstore sponges.

Love these sponges. They're are extremely soft and feel good on my face. Haven't washed any yet but I love the fact that you can throw them in the washing machine. Well worth the money.
Update 4/15/07
Have washed 2 sponges in washing machine and am pleased that they came out just fine. No difference in texture. One sponge was stained with my makeup but since I only use them for putting on my tinted moisturizer it doesn't bother me. Washed sponges with regular load of clothes so I don't know if that makes a difference or not. The other sponge I washed came out almost totally pink all over but to be fair I hadn't used that sponge as long as the first one. The important thing is that they were definitely clean.

I've never much cared for makeup sponges, because the disposable triangle versions, the ones you buy in bulk, scratch my face and are a burden on the environment. I'd always imagined there was something out there that was a bit softer and hopefully, more permanent. The day I walked up to a Laura Mercier counter, my search ended.
I was sold on texture alone. These biodegradable sponges respect a sensitive face, yet are sturdy and hold up over many months. Since they're washable, there's no need to worry about bacteria build-up. They absorb quite a bit, but one Mercier makeup artist taught me the neat trick of dampening the sponge a bit with water before squeezing out the foundation. As I prefer a lighter application anyway, I've found that this helps blend the foundation into my skin very well. It also means I use less foundation over time.
Figure in less waste and fewer trips to the drugstore to buy the cheaper sponges, and it becomes clear that spending more now is a great investment over time. Your face will thank you.
