It's been a constant in my bag since I bought it from the supermarket last week, and it's done a good job of freshening up my oily face during break times especially when there is time to spare at lunch hour.
About the Company
Who does not use the name Kleenex when referring to tissue paper? Kleenex is a global brand known for sanitary tissues and it is recognized the world over. For 89 years and counting, it has become a staple among homes and even offices in over 150 countries while still maintaining the need for comfort, softness, cleanliness and gentle products.
At first the company started manufacturing the cold cream towel and it has been innovated to offer softness that is uniquely exceptional. Over the years, many benefits and features have been added as it tries its best to provide quality products to its consumers.
I just can't help myself. Here are just some funny quotes related to the brand:
"Girl please, I can remove 90% of your beauty with a Kleenex"-Anonymous
Blair Waldorf: A hot lifeguard is like Kleenex! Use once and throw away. You could ask for better rebound. -Gossip Girl Quotes
"Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable" -Cher
Packaging
Now back to the Oil Blotter, it comes in a small, handy box that looks like a compact mirror, and it can easily be mistaken as a mini makeup palette. The girly combination of violet, white and hints of pink is just too cute... It is uber dainty and feminine, and the print at the back of the blotting paper is super attractive and it feels soft to the touch.
Pros
- I like that it is affordable, it is readily available in leading supermarkets and beauty shops and it sells for only SRP Php 94.75 so if you need to, you can always stock up just in case you run out
- It removes oil effectively, keeping shine free face
- You can use it anytime, anywhere, and it eliminates the need to wash your face regularly in order just to keep looking fresh
- It is compact and lightweight, does not add weight to bags or purses
- It is safe to use for all skin types
Cons
- It has only 50 sheets, and it is not enough for me. I can pull up to three or more in a day because I am usually exposed to pollution and other harmful elements
- It is too small, and again, I pull more than just two in a single use
Front and back of the blotting paper
This is what it looks like when it is already blotted -for disposal!
And that is what I look like after I have used the blotting paper...
My apologies that is overtime night when I decided to test the blotting paper so please excuse the eyebags! =p
Verdict
Even with the pros and cons already enumerated, the question still stands if I will buy or restock. The answer is yes, because the pros overweight the cons. The New Generation Oil Blotter can be a good, compact freshener for my face in a long day's work.
I find it very convenient and it might serve me well this season, knowing that there are still a remainder of summer days ahead.
