I have very dry skin, and I find this keeps me hydrated (I use it on top of an oil in the morning). I use a decent amount because I want the full sunscreen effect, so FYI it takes a little while to sink in, but it works well for me. There is a light frangrance but it doesn't bother me. I've had success topping it with Clinique City Block 25 (the 45 bothers me, different ingredients) or Mineral Fusion's SPF 30 Mineral Sun Defense brush on (it's talc free), which gives a hint of color and as it is a powder, helps take away any shinies left from the Josie Maran. I've used these 3 products for years, and I am the queen of sensitive skin. mdk1012https://www.blogger.com/profile/06536778676397379971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-54253757150045478722017-05-26T09:53:04.867-05:002017-05-26T09:53:04.867-05:00I was looking at that one!

Also the price should be at least $10 less--for $30+/oz I could be buying the fancy Shiseido face sunscreen I love but can't justify (Urban Environment) or any number of high-end products.

So if I want the waterproof version of something, for instance, but the non-waterproof is what's in the box, or what I want isn't available in the physical store? Too bad.<br /><br />That's the main reason why I've started to think they're a bad investment: the voucher that makes up part of the set's value won't be useful for everyone.Miss Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220111649046519267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-80568679088227150772017-05-14T20:16:18.167-05:002017-05-14T20:16:18.167-05:00I empathize with your sunscreen difficulties (and ...I empathize with your sunscreen difficulties (and really wishing I could try the Glossier sunscreen.)

I watched a review video on it because I was curious, and the shade Not For Sale really gave me pause. I guess they're trying to be cheeky, but... yikes. The colourful palette does look beautiful, but let's be real, you can buy all those shades (probably from UD, lol) without supporting this collection. And using Ruby Rose as the face of the collection is just the cherry on top.Clementine / mydarlingclementine.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867565608525797712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-67940377161178966332017-05-14T17:11:13.443-05:002017-05-14T17:11:13.443-05:00I love how Glossier kept insisting in the comments...I love how Glossier kept insisting in the comments of their sunscreen post that "Invisible Shield is fragrance-free, it just has a little sweet orange oil added for scent!"

It's pretty callous of Urban Decay to base a collection on an artist who died of a heroin overdose when their products are full of drug references. auxiliary beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704228759091361669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-80618500158477725782017-05-14T12:10:30.641-05:002017-05-14T12:10:30.641-05:00I had a completely different perspective on the Se...I had a completely different perspective on the Sephora Lashstash to go and purchased it last week. The only mascara in the set I had previously tried was the Urban Decay Perversion deluxe sample and liked a lot, so I knew that if I liked nothing else in the set, I could get a full tube of that and be happy. I love the inky black and find it easy to work. with. The cost per ml of product when you combine the samples and add on the full tube, it is substantially cheaper than buying full size products, to try. So, at fraction of the cost I am able to try 4 products I have never used, and get 1 that I like. So far so good! I also know that most of the Sephoras near me would carry Urban Decay, and even if they were temporarily out of stock, they would re-stock shortly. So, I think it depends on the situation. For me it is a win. If I were you, I would email Sephora, and explain what is in your post (and you have valid concerns) and see if head office can order Milk Ubame for you, or ask a manager at the nearest store to you, to order it in for you. It is not an online order, it is fulfilling 'a term of purchase'. It is worth a try.<br />Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289586388343270206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-47207961511086040052017-05-14T12:09:37.574-05:002017-05-14T12:09:37.574-05:00Judging from the lackluster skincare Glossier has ...Judging from the lackluster skincare Glossier has put out up to now, I'm not particularly intrigued by their sunscreen. Despite all their claims of uniqueness, I'd rather go with a tried and true product for something that important. I remember the disaster that was The Honest Company's sunscreen.<br /><br />Thank you for talking me out of the mascara kit. I'd been considering it, rationalizing that since I usually get 2-3 months of use from a mascara sample, the kit would last me a year. But I could buy a years worth of drugstore mascaras that I love for less than that, and having to go into a store that may or may not have the product I want is enough to put me right off.Lyn Bhbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081735635995970890noreply@blogger.com
