MAC MATTE VS. MONISTAT CHAFFING RELIEF GEL

Today I wanted to talk about MAC Matte. I am sooo oily so i'm always looking for another product to help control my grease-slick of a face. As a frequent MAC shopper, I was suprised that no one had recommended MATTE to me before. It's about $18 USD and comes in a little squeeze tube. I rushed home to try this and was disappointed when I realized that MATTE had the same active ingredient as MONISTAT CHAFFING RELIEF GEL (Dimenthicone) which runs about $6USD I tried both products on two different days to see if the either of the products looked any different under my makeup.

MONISTAT CHAFFING RELIEF GEL

Both controlled the oil pretty well and I still had to blot about twice during the day (pretty normal for me). Also, both products made my foundation go on smoothly, so no real difference there. I heard that Monistat gel has been discontinued but I'm not certain. I'll definitely be scouring the drugstore for something comparible with dimenthicone in it before I shell out another $18 on MATTE.
