“Summertime, and the living is easy…” Yes people, summer is upon us. Here in Florida, that means hot, humid, and humid (that’s no typo, I said that twice for emphasis). And on my face, it means my skin will bounce more light than your grandma’s old metal sun reflector.

Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets Ok, I exaggerate. But this is a serious problem! How many of you have looked in your rearview mirror only to see greasy looking temples? How many of you have powdered your face, headed out to work, only to get there and feel your face heavy and oily? I’ve had my share of other blotting sheets (The Body Shop’s, Boscia’s, Shiseido’s). They all took my money and did not keep their “shine-free” promise. Well, one day I’ve had it with my greasy self, so I purchased a pack of Clean and Clear blotting sheets from Walgreens. Took a sheet, blotted it on my temples, and was gonna keep on blotting until I saw something bizarre. The sheet, I thought, got a hole. Wait, no. That’s no hole. The oil from my temples made the sheet CLEAR! It soaked up so much oil it had not other choice but to turn clear! Amazed by this unnatural phenomenon, I continued blotting until the whole sheet was absolutely transparent (and shiny!).

That was 3 years ago and I never looked back. I adore these blotting sheets so much that I always have at least 2 packs reserved. I sing praises to these sheets and I spread the good word around - to my mother-in-law, to my former metrosexual co-workers, to my current female co-workers.

Clean & Clear blotting sheets comes in a pack of 50 sheets. The sheets are blue, not powdery, and does not rub-off your makeup (unless you rub it to do so). These sheets are a permanent resident in my purse, and I never leave home without it!

Git it: $4.99 at Target, Walgreens - they sometimes have a dollar off coupon at Walgreens.
