Why am I posting this? This is not a prodcut review, but rather a you can make this "product" at home for a fraction of the price.
The powders ingredients are....drumroll.....kaolnite. Now isn't that just the INCI name for kaolin clay??? So of course I googled it to make sure my hypothesis was correct and BOOM it was. According to Mountain Rose Herbs, Kaolin clay is:
Total Kaolinite- 97%
Silicon Oxide- 46%
Aluminum Oxide- 37%
Iron Oxide- 0.79%
Titanium Oxide- 0.37%
Aluminum Oxide- 37%
Iron Oxide- 0.79%
Titanium Oxide- 0.37%
So this 2 gram(.07 ounces) sample that I just paid $3.00 plus shipping costs about $4.00 for 8 ounces. Shut the front door! See this is why I give some natural companies the side eye, like really!?! I found several companies that sold this very powder with varying ingredients for $12+ for kaolin clay in a jar w/ a sifter.
Some other variations to this finishing powder/primer/viel include cornstarch, rice powder, arrowroot powder(sensitive to conrtsatrch), titaniam dioxide, etc. There are some other minerals that can be mixed, but I don't plan on figuring out the correct formulas for using them. For now the kaolin clay works fine, but when the summer hits, I may up the anty and add some other minerals or just purchase this one oily skin powder I got mine eys on, lol. This powder has those above mention minerals I'm not trying to figure out proper formulations with at the moment. (I'm currently in a just buy it mood right, now).
Long strory short, try Kaolin Clay as a great primer and oil blotting finishing powder that can be used alone or with makeup.

I really have oily skin. I have used a lot of product but they never helped. But when I started using Chambuu blotting sheets, it helped my skin a lot. I liked it because it's organic. You can purchase it here: http://amzn.to/1Rg1Kjt and use the discount code I found WYMBLF6S.
