A follow-up to that bizarre beauty product post...

I love how many of you, my dear readers, weighed in on my post about using toilet seat covers as blotting paper, and I think it was Beda who first brought up the alternate idea of using Starbucks napkins instead.

While I haven't yet had the courage to try the toilet seat covers (I know, I know) I did ask the boyfriend to swipe an extra napkin for me the other day at Starbucks (and I cannot believe he actually remembered to do so).

So after I was in possession of a napkin (fun fact: After the boyfriend brought me a napkin, he promptly reminded me that I usually have about 20 or so in my glove box and SURPRISE! It turns out I do. Doh!), I patiently waited for the greasies to make their way to my t-zone. Funny how you get oily so quickly when you're not paying attention, but when you actually want to get oily, it takes forever. A watched pot never boils...

Anyway, when I was finally a bit "shiny" I busted out the Starbucks napkin and lo and behold, it worked like a charm! I blotted my nose first and the napkin looked like I had used it to hold a french fry for a few seconds (sorry for the icky analogy but it's true). I cannot believe how much oil this napkin absorbed! And the best part? It didn't take my makeup away with it. My foundation was still intact and the oil was gone.

I tried my forehead and chin next, and BAM! Oil gone, makeup still there. Also, there was absolutely zero residue left behind (not that I was expecting there to be, but you never know). My face was fresh, oil-free and good to go.

So thank you to all of the ladies who introduced me to this little gem. I no longer have to feel so guilty about spending money on an iced Cinnamon Dolce Soy Latte.
