Success! My new mix looks great in daylight. AND I totally love the Oil Control Primer. This is the first day in a long time my nose hasn't looked like an oil slick a couple hours after makeup application, and even now at the end of the day I still don't look shiny!

Yoy! Congrats Moon, glad you're getting on okay with it :) A wee tip, if oiliness persists and you want to look at rebalancing it, try adding a sample of the Green Tea and Aloe Serum to your next order and try it out for a few days. if you've any dehydration, that could be causing a touch too much oil to be produced. The OCBlur can soak it up, but if you want to tackle it a different way, the GT&A serum has near banised my daytime oilied for a good 8-10 hours+ now.

That is good to know! I've definitely been eyeing some of the skincare products. I have combination skin and my T-zone usually gets pretty shiny throughout the day, but the OC Primer rocks, I'm loving the results with it. I'm wanting to try the Blurs too. I think I'll probably try the regular and the OC kind!
