Review: Clinique Face Cream SPF50 with SolarSmart

I bought this item about a month and a half back... almost. I was super excited to try it out... reasons were because it was finally a face suncream that was higher than SPF15/20, it had UVA and UVB protection and it was oil-free and all that jazz.

I tried it out for a week, a new product of course and by the end of the week, I started BREAKING OUT. I had TONS of mini bumps all OVER my forehead. It reminded me of when I first hit puberty and my forehead looked like a very coarse sandpaper. I was furious. I had not broke out like that since I was 14 and had worked SO HARD on keeping my skin pristine.

Verdict: WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN. EVER. EVER.

Product details:

It promises Oil-free, Sweat-resistant, Non-acnegenic and Appropriate for sensitive skin

Excuse my french but what a bunch of BULL. However, it may just be my type of skin, but it was horrible. I felt so down on how the product made my skin look!!!

Cons:

• Product did not deliver anything that it promised
• it still felt very greasy
• $20 for 1.7 fl oz/50 mL which is very little. I mean it is sunscreen, users will want to re-apply which can be hard with such little amount.
• Just did not deliver

Pros:

• Easy to find in stores
• Great smelling product, especially for a sunscreen.

Overall I give this product a 0.5/5 and that 1/2 a point is given mainly for the product idea itself. It was a nice effort, but I am still on the look for a facial sunscreen that will deliver.

Review: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

Again, with this item, I had to mull over and over about having to spend the money for it. I kept thinking I could never justify paying the amount for something that is a tinted moisturizer. I mean, I used to make it on my own by mixing my favorite facial sunscreen with a foundation. But after reading many reviews and looking at youtube raves, I decided to jump the gun.

In my opinion...... WORTH THE MONEY.

Why??? Here's a couple of reasons:

• For a tinted moisturizer... it gave me flawless coverage. I don't need much to begin with but it made my skin look like butter!
• It is easy for shade matching for many skin tones. I would love to have the Sonia Kashuk TM at Target, but none matched my shade. Then again, neither do any Revlon foundies.
• When it says Oil-free, IT MEANS IT. My skin doesn't feel heavy or oily even after 8 hours of wearing it! With the humidity in Florida, this is a gem!
• Because it is a TM, the texture of my skin has improved! I still use my Nars and MUFE foundies at night but this is slowly becoming my day staple.

Cons:

• I wish more product came in it. I mean if you need more coverage you can always add on more, but I just wish there were more in it.
• No more cons!! it's that GREAT!

Application:

• I usually place it on the back of my hand to warm it up and either apply it on with a BeautyBlender or my Sigma F80 brush. Depends on my mood and what is clean I guess...
• I always use my body shop mattifying day cream as a base
• I finish it off with Amazing Cosmetics Velvet powder on top.
• Voila!

Excuse my scaly and overly tanned skin... I have been out kayaking so many times this week and the sun and saltwater is making me look extra scale-y.

Glides smoothly

Blends perfectly!!

Definitely a 5/5 and worth every penny!

Update

I frosted my tips a little more tonight :) I'll post pics up tomorrow :) stay tuned!
