As its name suggests, Milk Makeup's 'Roll + Blot' is a [hybrid beauty product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/getset-blur-set-matte) that can be used as blotting sheets for removing shine from the face or rolling papers for smoking.

A Roll + Blot pack includes 100 sheets, all of which are made from a base of [unbleached hemp fibers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mewalii). Milk Makeup describes that the sheets are gentle enough to remove excess oil from the face without "disturbing makeup." The unique products are packaged in two colorways, including a plain gray and a leaf pattern.

As legalization of the drug is being slowly implemented in some places across the world, [cannabis culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sagely-naturals-products) is seeping into a range of unexpected industries, including beauty and personal care. In the process, marijuana is undergoing a transformation from taboo to normalized—and in some cases, elite.
