TATCHA Jet Set Travel Kit review + photos

       If all goes well, I'm hoping to do a bit of traveling in the upcoming months. I guess TATCHA must have read my mind, because they sent me a cute kit that should come in handy for a girl on the move! Today I have a look at the new TATCHA Jet Set Travel Kit to share with you today!

        TATCHA is a lovely niche Asian-inspired skincare brand that's always welcome in my skincare routine. I love the carefully crafted aesthetic of their packaging, and of course the product within. It can be tricky to know what to invest in first, so I've noticed that the brand has conveniently created a number of skits, including the TATCHA Jet Set Travel Kit, as a great starting point. (This one happens to include favorites that work well for the busy traveler).

          The entire TATCHA Jet Set Travel Kit is housed in a pretty lavender PVC zip pouch with gold logo detailing. The front is clear, while the back is an opaque lavender. It's cute, practical, and TSA-friendly!

          Inside the TATCHA Jet Set Kit you'll find the following:

• TATCHA Travel Size Indigo Soothing Silk Hand Cream (click for my review) - It's worth noting that the Indigo collection is one of my favorite TATCHA collections! The full size Indigo hand cream has been a long-time resident in my work purse; it sinks in quickly with just the right amount of hydration. 
• TATCHA Aburatorigami Blotting Papers (click for my review) - These gold-flecked sheets are such an indulgent set of mini blotting papers. I have a close-up of the textures in my linked review!
• TATCHA Luminous Dewy Skin Mist (click for my review) - This is a really handy hands-free skin moisturizer. As I wrote in my review, my favorite use for the skin mist is as a hydrating / smoothing base before foundation. (I'm thinking it'll come in handy for keeping skin hydrated on flights as well...)
• TATCHA Gold Camellia Nourishing lip balm - I've been testing the Camellia for some time now, but have yet to write a full review! Overall, it's got a nice texture that's smooth without being overly emollient.

• TATCHA Luminous Deep Hydration Lifting Mask
• TATCHA Luminous Deep Hydration Revitalizing Eye Mask 

       The Jet Set Kit comes with the above facial and eye masks as well. I'm debating whether I want to use these now, or save them for a later travel date! They'd be perfect for a mini spa treatment for someone with a busy itinerary (as is often the case during my travels...)

      Overall, the TATCHA Jet Set Travel Kit ($125) is a delightful little set of TATCHA favorites that I'm planning on enjoying both now and on my travels-to-come. It has a nice mix of full size items (like the mist and balm), as well as miniature ones. Should the Jet Set Kit tickle your fancy, it (and other TATCHA treasures) can be found at Tatcha.com!

         Thanks for reading! What TATCHA treasures have you been enjoying lately? What kind of skincare kits do you construct for traveling?

Love, Dovey.

P.S. I'm planning on mixing and matching from different Tatcha sets during my travels. Be sure to check out my review of the TATCHA Ritual Discovery Kit for more travel friendly skincare!

Tatcha Aburatorigami and Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami review

        The luxury skincare brand Tatcha is known for creating a product line based off of a textbook of geisha beauty secrets dating back to Imperial Japan. The distinctly Asian influence permeates to every aspect of their collection, including facial blotting papers: Tatcha Aburatorigami and Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami. For centuries, Japanese gold craftsmen used special handmade paper called Aburatorigami to protect whisper-thin gold leaf sheets. Geisha discovered the Aburatorigami sheets to be soft, strong, and absorbent, perfect for removing excess facial oils from skin. Tatcha has recreated this centuries old technique with handcrafted natural blotting paper leaflets that are powder free and fragrance free.

            The blotting leafs are available in two varieties: Tatcha Aburatorigami and Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami. The former is the original version, with thirty leafs per package. The latter is a newer product with a smaller size sheet that can easily fit in an evening clutch. It has forty sheets per package.

         The Tatcha blotting sheets are housed inside decorative thick paper pouches.

         As you can see Tatch Aburatorigami is the color of natural handmade paper; it is made of 100% Abaca leaf and gold flakes. The Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami is black as night; it is made from 100% Abaca leaf, charcoal, and gold leaf. If you look below, you can see the sporadic gold flakes shining in the paper.

         When you pull the paper out, it feels delicate, but strong. It soaks up facial oil effectively for a petal fresh look every time.

        Overall, the Tatcha blotting papers have a beautiful background story and are pure luxury in presentation and construction. Tatcha Aburatorigami ($12 for 30 sheets) and Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami ($15 for 40 sheets) are available at Tatcha online as well as Barney's New York. Thanks for reading! Have you experienced or passed by Tatcha counters? What do you think of Asian inspired skincare? What are your favorite blotting papers?

Love, Dovey.
