Through the end of June Tatcha.com is offering 15% off and two sample packs of Tatcha aburatorigami papers (blotting papers) as a thank you to their customers. Use code: THANKYOU during checkout.

Tatcha papers are hand made in Japan of abaca leaves. Abaca leaves were used for centuries in the production of gold leaf in Imperial Japan because they were durable and protected the gold during hammering. During the process the leaves were pressed into very soft, absorbent, fine sheets and eventually geisha began using them as blotting papers to absorb oil and preserve their skin and makeup.

I've been using Tatcha's blotting papers for about six months and so far I've been really happy with them. I feel like they are more absorbant than other blotting papers I've used and they don't leave my face dry looking like powder can. These papers don't contain any powders and they are very good at not disturbing your makeup. Generally one sheet is enough for my whole face, but if I've been running around outside I might need two. I just used up my current pack otherwise I would have taken a picture of the sheets for you because they are very interesting looking - each sheet has little flakes of gold embedded in it (in reference to the products history). The gold stays embedded in the papers, it won't flake off onto your skin, and it makes them feel extra fancy.

A pack of 30 sheets is available for $12 and a three pack of 90 sheets is $30.
