Oh goodness, I absolutely adore these elf $1 sheets. I have like four packs of them right now and I just stash them in my purse and school bags for touch ups during the day
Use tissue paper :) the stuff you stuff gift bags with! Get a pack at the dollar store. Cut it into little sheets, and wala! You get soo much bang for your buck. I use them everyday! :D
I'd recommend TATCHA Beauty Papers (http://www.tatcha.com/shop/original...).
They're not inexpensive compared to elf or other mass brands but you get what you pay for!
You could fry an egg on my face; seriously. I get super oily especially during the mid-afternoon..after lunch time. I use these everyday, multiple times a day!
They are $12 for 30 sheets at 3.45"; around double the size of most blotting papers. You can use both sides, it doesn't remove makeup, and most importantly it's not made of PAPER.
Fragrance Free, Pulp Free and Powder Free.
Paper/Pulp will not only leave your face dry but picks up makeup too. When your skin is dry it produces more oil to overcompensate for the dryness; so you are just making matters worse.
Careful of the C&C blue film blotters, they contain mineral oil..weird I know.
Papier poudre all the way! I tried the e.l.f. ones before and they did exactly what they were supposed to do, which was absorb oil. Then I tried papier poudre and I fell in love! They absorb alllll of the oil on your face and have like a thin sheet of translucent powder that leaves your face looking very matte. It's soooo good
Has anyone had a good experience with Boscia papers? Curious cause I just bought some? Also I Love the clean and clear oil absorbing sheets, they pick up a TON of oil and no makeup, also relatively inexpensive!
