You should define 'essential oil'. It looks like you used a base oil such as jojoba/almond/sesame etc for their glowy and moisturising effect. Essential oils are very concentrated chemicals with specific uses and toxicities and not all of them can be used so haphazardly.
um when should my birch box arrive because it hasn't and its the 14 its only my second birch box? my first 1 came on the 11th and no one replies to my emails?
@TheMisteryvampire Hi, you should have received an email with tracking information for your box! If you haven't or the tracking information isn't working for some reason, we can look into it! Boxes ship by the 10th so it's very possible that it's still enroute. Can you message me your email address? I will check on your account. -Lorelei at Birchbox
Oily/acne-prone skin: DON'T try this trick! Acne is caused by a clog of sebum and dead skin in the follicle or pore, and the bacteria that can cause redness and all that ickiness (P. acnes) feeds on oil. Essential oils are different than the sebum secreted by the skin but offer the same food supply.
As always, be sure to patch test essential oil on the inside of your elbow to test for allergies. You may be allergic to the plant from which the oil is derived.
@lauragrace13 Hi! For oily skin you should use a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation and you can skip the essential oils if you feel your skin is too shiny. It's important to note that essential oils are different than the oil in your skin and shouldn't cause you to break out. Some are heavier than others so keep that in mind as well!

The way the makeup artist applies the moisturizer is soo rough. That will only make the skin wrinkle a lot faster.

@fballcheerleader09 birchbox is more high end. if you're looking for drugstore tutorials, this probably isn't the place.
