Review from 8/2006:
When I was in Manhattan, a friend had mentioned that tarte’s Little Blot Book was the ultimate in shine control. As a girl whose shine sometimes affects even those wearing sunglasses, I knew I had to try it. Shine, with me, has been a never ending battle.
When I received my Little Blot Book, it indeed looked like a book. Adorable, yet stylish. When I popped it open, there was a decent sized mirror, mattifying powder, a small brush and blotting papers. It’s compact, yet still gives you an enormous amount of product.
I am an ingredients fanatic, so it impressed me to find out that the mattifying powder contained: Vitamin E and A, Green Tea, Chamomile and Aloe. So I could control shine and nourish my skin? Excellent!
So does it work? Yes! In the morning, I use the blotting papers, brush on the powder, then apply my loose powder over it. The mattifying powder feels very light, so you don’t get that caked on feeling when you add loose powder later. I only had to touch up a few times during the day and the shine control lasted for hours. Love it!
This is a product I now carry as a staple in my handbag. My battle with shine control is now over.
Another product from tarte that I have heard great things about is their cheek stain. Have you tried it? Let me know how it works!
Thanks, I’ve been meaning to find some blotting supplies that work. I’ll have to add this to my to-buy list. ^_^
How many blot sheets are in there?
I believe it was between 30-50 blotting papers. Tarte also sells refills.
wait, what??? Your battle is over?? That means mines is also! ok this i’m really excited about. powder AND blotting paper? I guess there’s no reason for not double teaming that shine! It’s been almost a year, I hope they’re still selling this! I’m gonna sephy’s (sephora) it up right now. :D
Now, this is a palette a girl can get excited about (see yoyosushi above!) How smart of tarte to put the two products together! Please let us know if it’s still on the market.
This is so cute! I don’t think I’d use the powder though, just the papers…so it’d probably be a waste for me.
I need this to keep my oily skin at bay!
