hi guys;
I've just heard about SN and wanna try it so bad. I'll give my first order but I got confused a little bit. First of all I think I should order a sample kit for foundations but I think I need primer or fnishing powder,too. because its summer and I ve really oily but dehydrated skin. Most of oil control products leaves me dry out and this causes producing more oil and then all messed up makeup in a couple of hours

they also highlight dry patches on my skin.. ewww thats too bad I hate it

, and ıve got pores on my cheeks
there are a lot to choose in here I got confused.. what primer or finishing dust would be ok for me ladies? please help

if you're skin is oily/dehydrated you should probably sample some skincare to see if you can stabilize your skin (oiliness is sometimes unavoidable, but your skin isn't meant to be dehydrated) Here's is a link to the chart which helps you pick products based on skintype:

For your skin, I'd recommend sampling the green tea & aloe serum, either hemp or jojoba moisturizer (though i actually use argan oil for moisturizing), and any one of the masks really. You can sample all 3 (serum, moisturizer, and mask) for $3.75. You might also try the kiss cleanser which i love, but is not always for everyone.
For foundation- yes i definitely recommend just going for a sample pack, it's the easiest way to find a color match imo. Samples of oil control primers and blurs are also available.

I also have combination skin and my current favorite is the Ultra Sheer Zinc Finishing Powder. It is very sheer, but still keeps the oiliness at bay without drying my skin out. It also has some wonderful blurring properties and affords some protection from the sun. I use it as both a primer and a finishing powder, and have found it to be very soothing to my acne prone skin.
'Hope that helps.

3rding zinc powder and 2nding skin care.
I have had good luck with the Paleo Diet for skin (and general) health. I talk about it all the time, so sorry if everybody is sick of hearing about it.

pm me your name in real life and I can check to see what you have listed as your email address. I won't have access to your password, but we can at least see what might be up.

Depends on where you are located. Inside the US, most of us get our packages within a week. Keep in mind the weekend though, that tends to slow things down a bit... Packages to me when I lived in New Zealand took about 2 weeks. If you are overseas your package could be held up in customs, which could delay it further. Hopefully it'll show up soon!
