Here's the link...

I have a hard time justifying getting 50 sheets for $10 as I found that I might need to use alot. But the fact that it has rice powder on it kinda tempts me...

Do u ladies think it's worth it? I was thinking that rice powder is good in oil absorbing and if I only need to blot once a day with it, it would be nice. Smile

I love the Clean & Clear ones for about $4.

They soak up grease better than anything else I have tried.

I second the Clean and Clear sheets!!! No other sheet absorbs oil better than these.

WAY too steep. Have you tried going to a beauty supply place to get some in bulk? That is ridiculously overpriced, and if you're an oily gal those *might* last you a month. $120 per year on oil blotting sheets is excessive when they come a lot cheaper.

Have you hunted around the internet for deals, like on Amazon?

I can get a 50 count pack of rice paper blotting sheets at the supermarket for about $1 and change. So, yeah, that seems a bit expensive. you're just paying for the name.

Thanks ladies!! Ok I'll remove the damn blotting sheets from my cart then hehe Smile

I was just thinking that it's convenient blotting with the "rice powder" paper so that I don't need to touch up with loose powder and stuff...

I'll look around and find a cheaper deal then. I believe Body Shop has something similar?

okay no lie- a sales clerk at the Napolean counter told me that toilet seat covers work great as oil blotting sheets.

She takes a few of the covers, and cuts them in to rectangular shapes and carries them in her Chanel blotting sheet case.

I haven't tried it myself though! I love the clean and clear ones. But I find that I don't really need to use them since I have been using Jurlique silk dust to combat my oilies.

OMG...I use the toilet paper seat cover trick. Cheap and effective. Not as effective as the Clean and Clear papers but still works.
Haha.

Where do you get 300 sheets for $2?


If you are in Vancouver or Seattle, you can go to the Janpanese Dollar store chain - Daiso. Everything for $2. You can find a lot of neat things there.
