Shiny t-zone?  Na-ah!  I hate it.  Sometimes a dewy face looks more healthy and younger (on some people), but I think it would be a little hard to pull off especially when you're in a tropical country like mine.

I don't recommend patting on powder every hour just to get rid of the excess sebum.  The fastest, most convenient way of beating that oil factory is using oil control sheets!

It's definitely a must have.  No arguments needed.  I've tried a few brands and so far, my fave is the Palladio Rice Paper.  You can check out the others on the bottom part of this page.

Here's a new one from NYX called Green Tea Blotting Paper.  They also have it in Peach (Tea Tree), Purple (Fresh Face) and Black (Matte).  Each box has 100 sheets.  That's a lot!


It basically has green tea as an ingredient.  A bonus on every swipe.

The actual sheet is thin.  It tends to rip easily as it absorbs oil but still manageable.

Yep, that's the price.  It's like 3.90 pesos per sheet.  It says that it doesn't remove your makeup.  Well, I don't completely agree.  After using it several times, almost everyday, I saw traces of my BB cream/concealer on it.  I'm not sure if it's because I rub it on face instead of dabbing it.  Regardless, it might remove some of your face makeup but not an issue for me.

Oh... and the scent?  Smells like normal paper.  HAHA!
