Full review
This was touted as not only the saviour of anyone who suffered from oily skin but a very trendy item to have on your dressing table a couple of years ago. Now it's got a new surge of popularity in this country - but, quite frankly, this stuff not only looks and smells disgusting, it doesn't work either. It contains aluminium and it seems it's supposed to work along the same lines as a deodorant - stopping anything breaking through to spoil a flawless finish. This was designed, after all, as a product to keep photographic make-up looking photographically perfect. But it doesn't. I've tried this with various combinations of foundations and powder, including Smashbox, and I can't see that it's made any improvement whatsoever. Now then - that's 15pounds I've saved you! ;0)
