My shine follows me everywhere like a bad habit. So thankfully the generous Cheri at Urban Apothecary reads this blog to know how my shiney complexion boils my blood. She sent along Got Blot and Make Under to see if she could resolve this problem child for me.

Review from 8/2006:
When I was in Manhattan, a friend had mentioned that tarte’s Little Blot Book was the ultimate in shine control. As a girl whose shine sometimes affects even those wearing sunglasses, I knew I had to try it. Shine, with me, has been a never ending battle.
