my stubborn will, is learning to bend...

philosophy

I ordered a trial/sample/starter kit from the philosophy line a few weeks ago - the “makeup optional” kit.  Sadly, maybe I am too much perfectionist because I am not finding that it makes my skin “makeup optional.” More like “makeup required” and then that leaves me wondering what kind of makeup goes well with a makeup optional skincare product?
Perhaps I need the congested skin kit?  I don’t generally have trouble with acne or breakouts but - just, WOW.  Half past noon today I was in the ladies room and caught a glance at my face in the mirror and thought - EW!  All shiny, greasy and just…  not fresh-faced at all.

To tell the truth I am a little discouraged.  Summer is pretty much here, and I do fight the summer skin - any heat and there’s a nice little shine all over my face.  Does anyone else get grossed out at the thought of re-applying makeup halfway through the day on a slick and greasy face?  blurgh.

Open to suggestions…
