Have you tried the oil control serum? I've been using it (on last drops) since it came out a little while ago, and it's been working wonders on my oily Tzone. I barely have to blot any more.

I'm seconding Soft and Maiden, Soft being a bit pinker, and Maiden a bit more nude. I would also recommend Centerfold: still nude but with a bit of pink.

I have been using the Vit C Peptide serum and found it really shrinks my pores, my skin is not normally oily, so the oil control may be better for you as Egerandi suggested.

Thank You for the suggestions. I have Centerfold sitting in my cart, but I would like to add on more on the pink side, i couldn´t decide yet. I am not good at coordinating colors, I wear bronzer, blush, 2-3 shadows each day, so I like my lips to be as natural as possible - just a hint of color, or it is too much. What do you think about Bloom?
Back to the serum(oil control) I like the idea, but I already use the Vit.C Peptide serum under my moisurizer and my primer (and make up of course). It seems to be important as it helps to neutralize the free radicals and such...Where should I put the oil control serum? Now I have the oil control primer powder(got a sample of it) on (between the primer and make up. Maybe I should quit the primer, I´ll consider it after etting Blur, as it has got added silica...So many questions to work out :roll:

I use my Vit. C serum at night and my Oatmeal during the day. You could switch your Vit C to the night routine and add the oil control to the day routine, if you need the help with oil control.

Yes, that would be one great solution, but I am on retinol (plan to switch to trentinoin in winter) - so i can´t change my evening routine. But I really appriciate your help! Do you use your vitamin-c serum alone? I usually put a mouisturizer on top of it, I was thinking about this oatmeal moisturizer , would it be too much at once?I would like to skip my drugstore moisurizer...

I use the oil control serum in the mornings, right after washing and toning. Let it dry then continue with a hydrating serum and then end with either oil or moisturizer, it just depends what your skin needs.

I like Bloom, and wear it usually with darker (mostly greys) eye shadows. It really depends on your complexion and the color of your lips too. If you like cool pale pink, it's for you :)

There is a link to a pic in this thread with someone else on this forum wearing Bloom:
