The Elegant Survival Choice for Facial Blotters

End-Papers as Effective, Inexpensive Facial Blotters

Pack these papers in a purse or pocket for instant summer facial blotting–regular old end-papers from a beauty supply store cost only a dollar for one thousand, whereas the facial blotting papers we bought at Shiseido several years ago cost over ten dollars for a packet of one hundred. Now they are up to fifteen dollars per hundred.  End-papers work just as well to remove oils and  give your face a matte finish.
