Fighting the Summer Oil Slick Series - Out and About and What Do I Do?

Happy Friday Columbus! The sun is shinning, the Buckeyes are still National Champs and it's hot -- albeit less humid. I however, am still hiding out inside watching an Ancient Aliens marathon and waiting for a snowfall. Yesterday I went and got my hair all cut off, which for me means it looks less like a chia pet and more like Ginnifer Goodwin's pixie cut sans that granny lavender ridiculousness she has going on now. Anyway, I was out and about yesterday doing an activity for school with a bunch of people and I got a major chase of the Summer Oil Slick. What do I do you ask? Well I pull out my trusty Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder Compact.

This little baby has saved my life on more occasions than I can count. During the summer, no matter how small a purse I end up carrying, this compact is ALWAY with me. De-Slick is a translucent Mattifying powder that I blot over my make up to de-shine my face in an instant. A little of this goes a long, long way and I have had my current compact for two years now and am in no danger of having to purchase again. You can use this over your make up, under it or on bare skin to keep you shine free. It has a slight lavender shade, which you would think would make you look weird -- but it blends right in with my skin tone immediately. The notable ingredient in this compact is rice powder, which absorbs the oils in your skin. Another reason to love it? It is paraben and sulfate free! You can find it at any Columbus Sephora for $32.

Why I Love It: Instant results, compact lasts forever, a little goes a long way.

Note of Caution: No deals here, $32 is the best price I have been able to find -- worth the splurge if you are seriously oily!
