Starbucks Napkins Can Double As A Beauty Tool

by Jamie Cuccinelli

On my list of summer beauty necessities, blotting papers come up on top to save face during sweaty, sweltering days when all that fun in the sun can leave your forehead oily. But if you're not down with shelling out big bucks, it turns out that Starbucks napkins make great blotting papers. Who knew?!

The next time you're waiting on line for your latte, start stuffing your pockets with Starbucks napkins, because those babies are beauty miracle. The brown, unbleached napkins stamped with that trademark logo are amazing at absorbing and blotting facial oil. They've even earned themselves a spot on Makeup Alley and a following from some top beauty bloggers! "Now I prefer them to actual oil-blotting papers because they're durable, they soak up oil really well without removing or disturbing makeup, and they're free," Daneen Baird of the beauty blog Spoiled Pretty told Allure.

Thanks to Starbucks, you'll never have to pay for a pack of expensive blotting products again! But just in case you're doing some serious cutting back on your beauty budget, check out these other beauty products disguised as household products and save that cash for your summer vacay.
