I've been hearing great stuff about this, but i'm disappointed it didnt live up to its raves. it does combat shine for an hour or so, but my nose and forehead just gets greasy again. however, it's not as greasy as it usually is when i don't put anything on. but besides that it keeps shine away pretty well. i just wonder if it can compare with Almay's Oil blotting powder. i wanted it, but the maybelline was cheaper so i just got that.
