What is in my purse?

Here is the contents of my purse. I don't carry my entire makeup collection with me however I do have the basics.

This is Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 018 creamy beige

BUY THIS AMAZING GIFT FROM THE HEAVENS!!!

My face is oily to the point where I could probably solve a few oil crises with my t-zone alone.

I have recommended this to a few people, because before this I had just accepted that unless I wanted to get the spackle spatula out I would have to accept that I was a shiny person.

Well I was wrong (don't tell anyone I admitted to being wrong)

I moved suitcases into a 3rd floor walk up in 85 degree weather and wasn't shiny. I was literally amazed by that.

This doesn't go on heavy and if you are a fan of light coverage foundation you can put this over sunscreen to avoid the white shine and stay matte.

This is NYX skin perfecting primer in shade 684 (it's translucent)

DO NOT BUY THIS SHIT!!! 

IT LOOKS LIKE A UNICORN THREW UP ON MY FACE

In all seriousness it is shiny! This isn't like a greasy shine either it has sparkles in it! I'm pretty sure this is what they put on Edward Cullen to get him to look that ridiculous in the sun (insert shameful admission that I read Twilight in 9th grade).

I don't see much improvement in my makeup's staying power, I look ridiculous, and on top of that it's sticky!

If you want a good cheap primer that won't turn you into Edward Cullen Elf Mineral Primer is cheap and it works.
