This balm is just correct. For the price I was expecting a better result. I have a oily skin so I was hoping this balm will help me to mattify my skin. At the end of the day, I still have my T-Zone shiny less but still. What bothers me is the sponge that becomes dirty very quickly.

I received this product through a subscription box that I get monthly though another program. I was very excited to get it. Soon as I opened it up and smelled it, I was even more excited. It was a very fresh and non-cosmetic smell and is very smooth to the touch. It says that you can apply this before or after make-up application. I decided to try it after my moisturizer. I used the supplied sponge for the application and was not impressed at all. I found that it caked on my skin and didn't 'sink' in or blend well. The next time I used it, I decided to try it on after make-up. Even worse results. It took most if not all my make-up off. I have decided though to give it another go, after reading other reviews online. I may try applying without the sponge and see how that goes. I will update this review if I get better results. All in all though, very disappointed and I'm very glad I didn't pay the full price tag for it, or I'd most likely be much more upset.
