Playing Catchup... and a Review for you: Murad Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew

I received this as a sample from Sephora so I had to try it out! I was only able to try it out twice so I don't have that detailed of a review for you. When I checked the actual price of this product it was quite expensive at Sephora so I'm not sure if I would really recommend this product. It did a good job of hydrating my skin and it didn't feel sticky or too heavy but I also didn't notice too much of a shine-free me. I think I will try this again in the future, but for now, I would not spend the big $$ on it.

Also, I finally sent Gaby's package off in the mail! Man, was it expensive! Now I know to do smaller give aways so that shipping doesn't cost so much haha, luckily I didn't have to send it across the boarder. I hope you enjoy it GABY! Make sure to check out her blog HERE too!

Blotting Powder....

Oily skin! YUCK! The following are two of my favorite blotting products:


M.A.C. Blot powder in medium

Purchase: maccosmetics.ca for $27
Mattifying effect: 8.5 out of 10
Pigmentation: 5 out of 10
Its claims: A unique pressed powder designed primarily to provide shine control without adding any noticeable colour or texture. Sets foundation, finishes faces. For use in professional situations and for frequent touch-ups.
Active Ingredients: Blot Powder contains Mica and Silica to adsorb excess oils and reduce shine on the skin's surface.

I love this powder because it is a pressed powder that I can carry around with me in my purse. It soaks up oil and doesn't over dry my skin. It is also a translucent powder so choosing a colour that matches your skin tone is not an issue.

Blotting sheets from London Drugs

I love these sheets. They are around $5 for 100 sheets and they don't add any product to your face. Instead, they just blot off the oil like the clean & clear blotting sheets which are around $8-10. I would definitely suggest this for everyone who carries a purse! You can find them in the cosmetics department at any London Drugs store!
