DAILY ESSENTIAL?

I recently received some sunscreen from Colorescience that I’m not particularly in love with but then again I don’t absolutely hate it.  I received the Daily UV Essentials which consists of the Daily UV Protector & the Sunforgettable Brush-On Sunscreen. At $78 for this kit, I think that the look and feel of the containers are not up to par with such a high price point. The Unforgettable Broad Spectrum Brush-On Sunscreen has SPF 50, came in a medium shade and is super invisible. I was hoping to see a little more even skin tone but I could barely see a difference in the color on my face. I only knew it was there because my face would look more matte so I only used this over the UV Protector.

The Daily UV Protector has a whipped formula that takes a while to blend out and doesn’t look pretty as it’s being rubbed in. When I finally rub it all in, for a few moments it makes my skin look gray but that fades away quickly and eventually looks more natural. I must say, I really liked how my skin looked.

Overall, there’s nothing I hate about these products but don’t feel it’s worth so much money and could do without the whipped formula to enjoy the whole experience.

SEAL IT WITH A KISS!

I literally cannot compare Nivea's ‘A Kiss of Moisture - Essential Lip Care' to anything else as far as lip care is concerned. This feels and smells so natural to me yet it's a thick formula like Vaseline and hydrating too. I loved Vaseline to moisturize my dry lips but Vaseline wasn't able to heal my lips if they were already chapped. ‘A Kiss of Moisture’ does both and more because it also protects! The rich formula also leaves behind a natural gloss to lips that isn’t one bit sticky ;) Basically once you try it, you will feel like you need it in your life too.  Pucker up ladies and try this inexpensive go to lip protector - you won't ever look back!
