I have combination skin and I've found layering the Tarte cheek stains OVER another, less oily, cream blush works really well. Also using a stippling brush helps a lot.
I don't think the shiny light was extinguished as Ben used it to get off the island and then the wheel got stuck and time went all kerflooey and they had to un-stick the wheel and shut the shiny light down.
We think the Man in Black/ Evil Locke/Smoke Monster was also Jack's dad Christian, right? And Ben's dead daughter in the temple too right?
He's been playing Ben like a fiddle all along...
