I bought the Sephora Lavender Blotting papers and I love them! They don't leave a powder on your face like some do, they just absorb oil. And they have a lovely scent of lavender too!

Despite the practicallity of the dispenser, the sheets did not blot oil as well as other blotting tissues I've tried. Like the idea though.

I got so tired of the caked look repeatedly using pressed powder was giving me, so I looked at blotting papers. I went ahead and bought the roll up type from Sephora and the Clean and Clear package from Ulta.

First up is the package form Sephora. It could be due to the fact that this is my first try with blotting papers, but I LOVE using them. I can pull out as much as I want and cleanly tear it off and put the rest back in my purse.

I love how the package protects the rest of the paper from getting dirty. I'm kind of worried if that would be the case with the flat Clean and Clear ones, but for now I'm loving the Sephora ones.

At $6.00 USD, they're only slightly more expensive than C&C, but I think the package will be easier to keep in my purse since it's less bulky and it keeps the paper clean. Love it!

I don't wear foudation but I do use concelear and powder most days. I live in a very humid climate and after a few hours my dry-combo skin becomes oily and shiny in the summer. Enter blotting papers. I have used all kinds but saw this and thought the packaging was cute and decided to try.

That's where it ends...the packaging. My roll constantly bunches up, thus becoming hard to tear off a sheet. The actual rating for the paper is so-so. Its not great but its not bad. I wouldn't reccomend this paper if your skin is very oily. However from what I saw it doesn't remove your make-up so that is good.

I say stick to Starbucks napkins (YES! they absolutely work) or Clean and Clear. I will not buy this again. :(

It's really cute..I love the convenient dispenser. The downfall is that it doesn't seem to remove as much oil as I would like.

The package is cute and practical but the quality of the sheets is poor. Best of all worlds would be roll of Clean&Clear sheets in this package - I could roll out the amount I need (a foot, at least, for my crisco-face) and dab away, no unused corners like the little sheets.

I got this in South Korea when I went to visit for only $2!! originally, I bought 4 of them because they were such a great deal but when i tried it, I hated it!! I needed to rip off about 2 feet of the paper to get all my oil off my face and then it was all over my fingers. It's been two weeks since I've had this product and I've already used about half of the roll. It doesn't lie flat either but i just roll it the opposite way so that it does. thank god i only paid $2 instead of $8!! I will stick to my Shiseido oil blotting papers, they are far worth the money than this sephora roll-up papers (and they really jack up the price just to have their name on the plastic container rather than it saying "made in japan" like mine). I do like the fact that you can just rip off the amount of paper that you want and that the case is small enough to take anywhere....

I wanted to love this for the packaging. Other blotting papers taking a beating in my purse because of the cardboard packaging, so i thought a dispenser might hold up under the contents of my bag as well as loving the option of tearing off what I need, but find the quality of the blotters terrible. It feels scratchy and did not do a very good job of blotting oil at all. I have combo skin (sometimes oily T-zone), so I can imagine how ineffective this would be for oilier complections I prefer my clean and clear sheets for effectiveness. Also, for a "Sephora brand" product, I find the $12cdn too pricey, especially considering the poor performance.

I like that you can cut a piece of blotting paper yourself, according to how much you need. When all I'm doing is blotting the sides of my nose, I don't want to use an entire sheet for it. Also, this is very portable. I would most likely buy it again, if I run out and happen to be near a Sephora.

LOVE this product, its great because you can customise the amout of paper to use, alot for the whole face or a little for just around the nose. Will buy it again, at $13 canadian its a little pricier than other but lasts a long time

These were okay. They didn't soak up as much oil as the Clean and Clear sheets, but they worked well enough and didn't take off my makeup. The packaging isn't great, but at least it allows you to customize the amount of paper you need. I prefer my Paul and Joe blotting papers - if I'm going to carry them, I want them in cute packaging!

This is awesome. At first I didn't like it that much b/c it absorbs differently than many other blotting sheets. It takes a lot longer to use than other sheets b/c it is unpowered. The key to using it is holding it against the skin for a few seconds while the paper absorbs the oil off your face. That way you get all the oil off and it doesn't disturb your makeup. When I hold it against my nose I can see little spots where my pores released oils on the sheets. It's totally gross but, in a way, cool too. Even my boyfriend uses it, although I think he just likes seeing the oil spots from his nose. :P

The papers come in a handy plastic container that is small enough to fit in your pocket. You can tear off as small or as large an amount as you need. The paper itself resembles wax paper and is a bit stiff. It isn't powdered, but I prefer that. It does a great job of sopping up the oil without disturbing your makeup.

I love the packaging, although it is plain. The plastic container looks like a teeny roll of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It keeps the paper clean and it is strong enough to withhold being bounced around in a cosmetic bag without breaking.

It is about $8.00 for a roll of these and mine lasted about 6 months.

unlike other reviewers, i actually love the fact that these are just paper and have no powder or other things to clog my pores. clean&clear breaks me out and shisedo looks to pale against my skin. also, the packaging is excellent: convenient and fits easily into my pocket.

I was so suckered by the adorable packaging and wanted to love the product, but the tissues are almost exactly the texture of toilet seat covers, which I admit, I have used as blotting paper (always a fresh one of course!) I will stick to the Clean & Clear blue sheets, they have a chamois-like quality.

Wasn't really impressed by this. I like the packaging and it's cute that you can tear off as much as you need, but the blotting paper itself is horrible! It is thick, stiff and scratchy. It felt like I was blotting with a paper towel. Compared with other blotting papers out there this one doesn't meet the standard.

Love this product! I can tear off as much as I need, and I like that there's no powder. I like the case it comes in, too, because it's plastic and if it gets wet, the sheets won't be ruined. Plus you get a lot of product in the roll.

What I like is that you pull and tear the amount you want, kind of like pulling out wax paper or aluminum foil. They aren't powdered like Shiseido's. Easier to grab some of this whereas the Shiseido took me forever to grab just one sheet. HOWEVER ... I LIKE having the powder. And ... these Sephora sheets curl so much I can get them to lie flat on my face without smearing around. I'll go back to my Shiseidos.

beautiful! the packaging is so cute and the roll up papers really do soak up the oil. I highly recommend this product bc the more oil you soak up, the clearer your skin is gonna get.
i think it was only eight bucks.
EDIT* ok, i now give this product a 3 bcuz it doesn't do as good a job as the VS blotting papers. VS ones are not as noisy either

When I went to Sephora I was debating on buying the roll-up type blotting sheets or the blotting sheets in the case. I decided that I would get more usage out of the roll-up one. You can tear as much as you need, so if you only need a little you don't have to waste one sheet. It's very portable also. It removes oil and does not remove your makeup. For $8 I would buy this again!
