I had a friend who bought a large box full of loose makeup wedges, of course he doesnt remeber where he found them so I went on the big google search looking for the lowest cost on bulk makeup wedges of a good quality and I found these....

They came out to about .01 cent each but you have to buy a minimum of 4000 sponges.... not a big deal they are easy to store or maybe a couple of us could split a box or something ....


The question is though have you seen a better price then this or another place to buy bulk makeup wedges?

well wedges are the one thing i will spend a little more money on i think ones that have a little resistance not supper soft or too stiff, kinda like goldilocks and the 3 beds smile I find that you can cut the sponges in half if you want to save money or sponges, i like a foundation brush too then you just have to clean it and there is less watse

I agree about quality.  Nothing worse then trying to work with a poor quality sponge that you cant get a good grip on, ike the kind you can get in drug store.   

I sell 100 thick sponges for $20.00 in my store, they are the best quality you can get.

Ugh, I made the mistake of skimping because I was being lazy and was already in Target...Bad move.    I really love the feel and texture of the Alcone sponges.  Worth every penny.  Maybe I will try Mary's when I order the Cinema S palettes.
Does anyone have a great resource for disposable mascara wands?  That is the one that kills me.  I have found I don't use sponges as much anymore, but mascara wands are a must.

I get most of my disposables from www.camerareadycosmetics.com.  I fell in love with the gloss wands.

I hear Mary at camerareadycosmetics.com has a great deal on disposable wands.  I keep meaning to order from there when I have to pay for something myself.

Mary... you need to get on the list for companies like NBC, CBS, etc.  Since they usually have a list of acceptable vendors for makeup artists like Frends, Naimie's and CS.

I like the wedges from Ulta.  They're called Wonder Wedges and they come with 100 in the bag.  It costs about $5.00 for the bag.
