Let's start at the base of it all. Haha, get it? :]

Yeah, I think I'm funny lol

Continuing...

My rating: ★★☆☆☆ (see pro's and cons below)
Price: $5.94

So I have always used (or for the last couple years) the same powder foundation. Why? Cause it's cheap and uncomplicated.

Obviously as you can see here ^ I use the Covergirl Clean "Oil control" powder.

Now, I've used the oil control for about a year now and I don't know why I keep buying it. Before I got the oil control I had the green one for sensitive skin and it worked just fine. However my face does get really oily during the day as well as getting flaky at the same time (don't know how) so I decided I would try this product. And I am sadly disappointed.

I just put my makeup on two hours ago and it already is shiny and oily. I'm inside a house and although it's hot outside, it is a good temperature inside. I should not be oily!

While using this product I have noticed that I am getting even more oily during the day than I used to with the sensitive skin product.

I also use the Covergirl Oil control liquid foundation before using this powder and still, feel like a grease ball after only a couple hours of wear.

However, I have not really cared too much considering my skin has always been like this so I'm kind of used to it. Just wanted to write this to tell everyone, it's really no different from their other powdered foundations. It doesn't really "control the oil" like it advertises but hey, everyone's skin's different and I have given them my business regardless. I think the biggest reason I keep buying it is because it's one of the cheapest powders you can find at $5.94. Who can beat that?

I am running out though and will not be repurchasing this product. I do plan on letting you know what I find in the future though that could be a good replacement for this product and will not break the bank in the process.

Pros:
* Good coverage
* Inexpensive

Cons:
* Does NOT control oil
* You run out fast (but that might just be me)
