I've only been using this for a couple of days and I'm really impressed. I normally use Chanel's loose powder in the morning when I finish my MU but wanted something to take with me in my handbag...

Since I don't really have oily skin, I bought this to mostly just get rid of some extra shine from my foundation throughout the day. This did keep the oil away for a good amount of time, but it...
