While I realise there is no actual point to these sweet little papers infused with blush other than maybe a space saving option if you have a *very* slender bag, but they’re just so pretty I’d still love a set if they were available in the UK. Mai Couture are an interesting brand: they’ve very recently brought out Blemish Control Blotting Papers impregnated with Salicylic acid which are a good idea – nobody wants to get the spot cream out on a night out or mop up when the oil gets shiny. They’re very discrete and so easy to do a quick once over on shiny areas when out and about. There are also ‘Rejuvenating Oil Blotters’ and a rather weirdly shaded Bronzer Blotter.
NB: Thanks to a reader (thank you Meeta!) comment, I know now that these are available at http://www.beautyworkswest.com/cat_name/Mai-Couture.aspx

Hi BBB
These are available at Beauty Works West in Notting Hill down Lambton Place near where the Aesop store is.

I was intrigued when I saw these – especially the blemish control ones.
People with highly sensitive skin need to be careful, I used salicylic acid and it stripped my whole face, even though it was only 0.5% in a wash! I love face blotters though, they are so so handy. These are really cute because they have the blush but I can see them being a little bit of a fiasco if it gets over your hands and purse! Either way, such a cute and interesting feature as always!
I wish they were available in the uk! They look so cute 🙂
Hello BBB!
Japanese girls are nuts over blotting paper. It is an essential for me because my T-Zone is an oil slick by lunchtime.
While I do like blotting papers, I prefer film as it does not mess with my makeup and I get a better result from it that does not break out my sensitive skin. I am a HUGE fan of the Hakugen Mint film!
Having said all the above, I would certainly give these a go just so I dont have to ship shed loads from Japan.
Very pretty I admit but do they really do anything? Do we care though? I can imagine women going crazy over it’s preetiness. x
I m Yun, would like to buy those paper face, can u help me? i m from Indonesia.Thanks
