Review: Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens

Oh man I finally got my H1N1 vaccination from work yesterday and MAN that vaccine is a KILLER!!! Mind you when it was administered it didn't hurt as much as the seasonal flu vaccine (Yep, I got both at the same time), but the after effects are MEAN! The injection site is swollen and tender to the touch, and my body aches! Last night I got the chills then the sweats, I guess that means my immune system is doing it work, but my back was so sore and my heat pads became my best friends.

Anyways here's a review on the Boscia Blotting Linens in Green Tea. It was included in a sample pack that was 50% off at Sephora.



I guess they were clearing out their inventory since this pack is not available anymore, which was great 'cuz this was only $20USD, which was a great deal I thought. Why? Well, this blotting paper pack would've been $10USD itself.



So here are the claims.



Like it says, it's infused with Green Tea and indeed I got a big whiff of Matcha when I opened the cover. It looks like there's some Matcha powder spotted here and there. It feels very thin and light. This is one of those blotting papers where you'll get oil all over your fingers afterwards. Icky but true. So how does it perform?



Haha sorry guys for showing you my greasy noggin~ Gross huh?



This is after one application. Pretty impressive huh? But any good blotting paper can do that, even those toilet seat covers in public washrooms (what? You've never heard of that??). Overall, it's really not worth $10 a pack. It's done nothing extraordinary that other, cheaper blotting papers can't do.



And this is what I mean by getting your hands all greasy. It's one of those where the grease cuts through the paper really easily and if you're oily like me your hand really feel gross afterwards.

All in all, save your money and get something cheaper that works just as well.
