First, absorb oil with the blotting papers, and apply mattifying powder to leave your skin shine-free.
If this product is sealed, please ensure the seal is intact prior to using the product.
This stuff is such a life saver. My skin gets so oily especially during summer. I love how I’m able to quickly refresh my face with this kit!

This is a golden colored plastic mirror compact with a pack of blotting paper and a translucent pressed powder with a sponge applicator. The packaging is definitely high quality and I got a few compliments from colleagues when taking it out.
What I like about it is the quality of the blotting paper. Each sheet is thicker than average and absorbs oil very well without displacing my makeup.
I am a bit ambivalent about the powder as it doesn't apply well with the provided sponge. I prefer to use my own powder brush instead. It does do a decent job of touch ups without giving me a ghost like appearance or changing my foundation color which some translucent powders tend to do but nothing as impressive as I had expected.
The con is in the design. When you open it the powder pan layer lifts up and pretty much blocks half the mirror which is annoying considering the price.
It's useful for on the go touch ups and it beats carrying 2-3 products for 1 but I probably wouldn't repurchase.
Pretty neat

Luxurious look and feel. Great way to keep blotting paper on hand.
The powder tends to clump either in its place or on the applicator. However, this is more than likely my fault by pressing too hard etc. Lightly grazing the applicator against the powder is the way to go.
The blotting papers tend to fold, or scrunch and just generally not stay under the powder very well. I’ve resorted t...

Mattifies and blurs oily skin

Luxurious packaging. The powder works decently, but if used with the provided sponge applicator, it looks very ashy on medium-dark skin. I prefer using a regular powder brush so it mattifies and blurs far better.
The blotting sheets are average - they do the job. The advantage of this product is that all the mattifying products are together in one handy little compact. The refills for the bl...

Great matifying kit

I like this kit. The packaging looks amazing and I can just pop it in my handbag. The blotting papers work well, but I found them a little small compared to other brands. The powder is a little too white when used with the applicator sponge provided. It works better using my own powder brush. Overall a nice product.

I'm not sure why I brought this. I'm actually surprised I did because it's very expensive for a bit of powder and paper. But overtime I'm not mad I did. It works well, it looks super pretty and everything is there; the paper, the pad, the power, and a mirror. It's a bit bulky for my bag and half the mirror is not visible due to the packaging design. But when I do have it with me it's quite a luxur...

Nice but expensive

This kit is expensive but possibly (?) worth it, in that you don't keep losing your flimsy pack of blotting papers at the bottom of your handbag. The papers work well, and the case is (admittedly) quite nice.
Beautiful product!

I don't normally splurge this much on finishing powders but was tempted by this kit with the blotting paper included and it is the most divine case. Was so excited to try it and I love it. Will definitely be buying the refills. Translucent powder goes on light and smooth and I touch up no more than once a day with the blotting paper. The papers blot so well I haven't needed to add more powder aft...
