A must have if you switch eye shadow colors!
I'm not sure what the "softness" of the item means really? lol the "sponge" on the inside is pretty course and it's used to dry clean your makeup brushes. I use this a LOT when I'm switching colors and don't want to muddle up my next color. And to clean you just soap and water the sponge and let it dry, and giving the tin a wipe with a rag.
