In My Beauty Bag. Blot Paper

I discovered blotting paper many years ago in Japan. It's origins date back to 517 A.D. in the EDO era of the country. At the time it was known as Abura Torigami, used by Kabuki performers. Since then it is also referred to as 'rice paper'.

Blot paper provides shine control and also does away with excess oil without leaving residue like regular tissue. Another benefit for women is when using them it doesn't damage your make-up.

Some brands offer slightly larger sheets, and the thickness may vary.  I like the different packaging options from streamlined to whimsical. You can find blot paper available from cosmetic giants like MAC, Shiseido and Bobbi Brown to generic brands at your local drugstore or beauty supply.

Never let them see you sweat.

Individual Style.

I recently discovered a really cool men's blog, called dapperlou.com. Lou's style is chic with a funky edge and his blog reflects the same eclectic aesthetic.

Dolce & Gabbana Get Sexy in Milan

The Dolce & Gabana Spring/Summer 2011 Collection is full of dreamy romance with the signature form fitted sex appeal they do so well.  The accessories really did it for me.  You know I'm living for those hoop earrings.
