Spotlight: Tatcha Blotting Papers



Tatcha URL

Here's the question. Would you pay ~approx S$18.00 for a block of 30 blotting sheets? Yes, as in the oil blotting sheets you would probably use more than once in a day.

So what's the selling point behind this product?




Description from Manufacturer Website:
A 300 year old Japanese beauty secret for a petal fresh complexion revealed.

Removes excess oil and sweat without disturbing makeup or stealing moisture from the skin.

A powder and primer alternative that improves the wear of makeup.

For all skin types: oily, normal, dry & sensitive.

* Ingredients
o 100% abaca leaf, gold flake.
o Fragrance-free. Powder-free. Oil-free.
o All-natural, biodegradable. No animal testing.
o Handmade in Japan.

Truth to be told. I'm not exactly a fan of blotting papers since I've always have sensitive skin and someone told me once that the more I blot, the more I'll aggravate my skin condition.

But I just couldn't resist the quaint packaging and the product description was like the icing on the cake. This product currently retails only in Japan and the United States. Hopefully, it would be available soon in SGP. Otherwise, shall we organize a spree for it? That is if someone is willing to part USD12.00++ for 30 pcs of blotting sheets.
