Advantages: Super-cheap, compact, easy to use

Disadvantages: none

I bought this product primarily to use at work. I work permanent nights in a poorly air conditioned office so looking human when the freshly made-up day shift wander in is a mission and a half. I have naturally oily skin and after a few hours my T-zone begins to look decidedly shiny. Cue Elf Professional Shine Eraser.

This product, like many from the Elf range is cheap as chips. Going for £1.50 on eyeslipsface.co.uk . It is packaged in a cardboard pack, slightly larger than a credit card and contains 50 blotting sheets. The slim design fits easily into a makeup bag or pocket and possibly even a purse or wallet for the club-bound. The blotting sheets are basically as you would expect. Thin papers similar to cigarette papers thin or baking parchment.

The pack instructs you to use one sheet on your T-zone, turn it over and use the reverse side on the rest of your face. There really is no technique to the application, you just dab it over your moosh.
The oil from your skin is visibly absorbed by the paper, adding the all important 'Urgh, did that come from my face?!' factor.
The product claims to absorb oil, mattify shiny skin and minimize pores and although I did not notice any difference in the visibility of my pores I was happy with the result. For £1.50, 2 out of 3 aint bad, right?

Another reviewer mentioned that the product leaves her makeup looking patchy. I have to say I did not notice this problem myself, possibly because I use a powder foundation, but it might be something to look out for.

I would recommend this product to friends because it's cheap and it does the job and after a long shift, that is exactly what I am looking for.

Summary: There is nothing amazing about the product but it works well and costs £1.50.
