Few weeks ago, I watched some great reviews about this product, Murad Oil Control Mattifier. I was skeptical about it but I have a really oily face and I really hate that, so I decided to give it a try. However, I think it's pretty pricey. It's selling for $39.50 at Sephora. I wasn't really sure about it but I really want to try because I'm willing to do anything to get rid the oil on my nose. I actually find it cheaper on ebay. I paid about $34 for it. It's not too much cheaper but it's not bad I guess.
When I first got it, I think it's not a really big size product for the price I paid. It comes in a 1.7oz tube. However, it really does what it says. I fall in love <3 with this product after the first use. It really does matte out my face and my nose. My nose tend to be really oily, so I would usually apply more on my nose and lesser on my face. I really love this because it actually make my face look flawless. This is my essential before I do my makeup now. ^^
The cream is a bit sticky and kinda smell like glue and mint, it's not a pleasant smell but it's not bad either.
You don't need to use a lot of product for your whole face. I put a bit too much on my first use, but it still blend in pretty well. It's a pretty pricey products, so I think you might want to be gentle on it. =)
Somehow, I think the price isn't too bad if you use it as a primer for your makeup. Personally, I don't really use primer because I don't think it does too much to my face. I tried the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer once because I got a deluxe sample size from Sephora, but I don't really notice much difference, although it's a pretty good primer. So I would recommend the Murad Oil Control Mattifier to those who has really oily face. I would give 5/5 for this.
P/S: There's a tip for your wallet. I found a better deal on amazon.com. It was $28.40 + $1.50 shipping, that was $29.90, which was cheaper than what I paid on ebay. I immediately bought 2 for backup. =P so, definitely check out on amazon or ebay. But if you are skeptical, get it from your local Sephora or ask for a sample, because it's usually harder to return if you buy from ebay or amazon.
They also have Cyber Monday Sales on murad.com. Enter promo code CYBERMONDAY to get $25 off for $100 purchase. One day only. Fast!
That's it for the review of this. I hope this help.. =)
