Battle of the Blotting Sheets



As an oily skin girl, blotting sheets save my life. I've tried a couple brands and decided to review them. I've ranked them from my favorites to worst.

Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens (100)

Pros
  • Leaves a cool feeling on your face
  • Smells great
  • 1 sheet is enough for my entire face
  • Accessible packaging
  • Won't ruin your makeup
Cons
  • $10 at Sephora


Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (50)

Pros
  • Doesn't ruin your makeup
  • 1 sheet usually does it
  • about $5 at the drugstore and Ulta
Cons
  • The sticker inside that pulls the sheets out
 loses its sticky-ness
after 10-15 sheets. So it's difficult to take 
a sheet out after


Palladio Oil Absorbing Rice Paper Tissues (40)

Pros
  • about $4 at Ulta
  • Easy packaging
  • absorbs oil well
Cons
  • Leaves powdery finish on your face
  • Powder on the tissue goes everywhere
  • my face looks dry after using these
Zon Cosmedix Oil Control Blotting Tissues(65)

Pros
  • about $6 at Ulta
  • doesn't ruin makeup
  • good packaging
Cons
  • sheets are super thin and small
  • I have to use 2-3 for my entire face

Pros

  • $3 at Target
Cons
  • doesn't pick up any oil
  • sheets are too thin and small
  • to be honest, don't expect much from these

My search for the perfect blotting sheets is never ending. If there are any other brands I should try, leave a comment down below!
