You can thank profligate Japanese royalty for Tatcha's elegant blotting papers: during Imperial times, handmade paper was used to protect gold and silver as it was hammered into decorative gold leaf. Geishas used the leftover papers, flecked with precious metals, to keep their skin matte.
I’m a little obsessed with blotting papers and use them daily, so I’ve tried every brand out there. These are a nice large size, but I still usually end up using more than one at a time. They leave my makeup mostly undisturbed, so that’s a plus. Expensive, so I’ve only bought them a few times when I feel like splurging.
4I love Tatcha! I use many of there products but these papers are not worth the buy. I had to use more than one to make my face non oily. With my other go to papers, I always only use one. My other papers only cost $5 for 50. These are $12 for 30 sheets. I don't recommend these papers.
1I have particularly oily skin and often need blotting papers. These help keep it all in check. Their bigger size (and their amazing soaking power) makes them way better than others. I can use one side, and then use the other side. Not so with other blotting papers. They're expensive (understandably, since they do have gold leaf in them), so it's hard to use them often, but they really are the best.
5I buy a lot of things Rachel Zoe says she's a fan of, and I have oily skin so I gave these a shot. They don't seem that great, especially not for the quantity and price. I may have oily skin but with these I blot once and the whole sheet is already filled, whereas similar products I've tried I can blot my whole face with ease. I'll still use these but I don't really see the appeal. Cheaper alternatives next time for me.
I love these so, so much. For someone with oily skin that no amount of mattifying products will control, blotting paper is a must. So far, this one is at the top of my list.
But I put this on my wish list and pray it goes on sale in order to keep my stash at a good level.
