At one time I had found a very good answer for my oily skin.  It was a Biore lotion that came in a pump, had spf 15 & had some sort of reflective technology to help even out the skin tone.  It was in a tall, skinny pump container.  Anyone remember it?  Well, I can’t find it anymore – I assume they discontinued it.  They replaced it with another lotion that is supposed to help with oil, except that it doesn’t.  It makes me so shiny I can’t stand to have it on my face.  I use it on my hands instead.

Since then I’ve been on the lookout for a new, easy protection for my face that doesn’t make it shinier.  I’ve tried tinted moisturizers, powders, mineral makeup & it always seems that one thing is always missing – either the spf protection or help with the oil situation.

My most recent try is shown below.  It’s pretty good & my only complaint is that it’s a tiny bit tinted, which means that I have to pay attention while applying.  What I prefer is something that is colorless so I can rub it in like lotion & not worry about having to blend it perfectly.  (I am constantly late in the morning due to over-sleepy-itis.)  Other than that I highly recommend this.  I bought it at Walgreens, but later saw it for several dollars less at Walmart – so that’s where I recommend getting it if you want to try it.

Here I am wearing it:

Next, I plan to try MagiX Face Perfector SPF 20 from Avon (which I sell now, full disclosure LOL).  It seems to have everything I want in facial makeup – it’s colorless, it “banishes shine”, “minimizes pores”, and has an spf of 20.  I will get it at the end of next week & will let you know how I like it.  I’m really hoping it is THE ONE.
