I received the sample the other day when I was stocking up on mascara (at Sephora). I LOVE IT! It promotes pore minimizing, and improves skin clarity with continued use. I tried it yesterday and I really liked it! It is sooooo hot and humid here and it really stayed on well, and I had no shine at all! I will keep using this week and see if its true love! Has anyone tried it?
 
I've been using the sample size the last cuple of days as well and I immediately noticed how smooth my face looked. I was also surprised at how long it stayed on. I put it on the morning and stayed on day eventho it was hot. I'm definitely getting the full size next time!

PS- I also want to add how the shade totally matches my tanned face. I usually have had to mix diff shades to get the right one. I'm using medium tan and I love how my face looks natural.

I wonder if it's bismuth free? I think I read somewhere that the bismuth (which is what irritates people's skin) is also what makes it look a little shiny... that's why they tell you to buff and buff. It takes away the shine.

I believe it is!! I have been using my sample for a few weeks now and LOVE it. stays on in the heat and doesn't get shiny like the regular BE on me.

I have super dry skin as well and it doesn't feel like it's overly dry, just very matte.
 
I love it, too!! I can't wait to buy the full size version. The little sample was my first BE product, and since then I've become completely hooked to the brand. I have combo skin, and my nose is usually a bit oily, but the Matte keeps me fresh all day!!
 
OK, just a few thoughts, Dancing Nancies I think you might have the BEST avator in the world!!! LOL wow! Totally makes me laugh, and smile! LOVE!

I am in love with this new MATTE version. I only get shiny around my t-zone. SO! Im sold, for now, I will keep trying it all week and report back!
