Make Up Blending Sponge

I bought the yellow blender from Farmers for NZ$8 a good fair while ago... I actually can't even remember how long ago it was it's been that long. I am going to say over a year. And it's still...

In one word - TERRIBLE!!!! For a brand that positions itself as "better than drug-store", and for all their other great products, you'd think they'd bother to get the basic application tools...
