Blotting Paper

Blotting paper is for all the oily-skinned beauty queens out there who occasionally find they look a little shiny and a little less glowy. Blotting paper will blot away all of your worries and take your look back to the snatched and glowing goddess you started off with. You’ll also feel like you’re back in the 1920s when you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom to ‘powder your nose.’ Handbag Essentials – Classy Beauty Items to Keep in Your Purse
