Angela @beautyandthecat didn't end up loving the make p:rem sunscreens that she ordered recently. 😿 But, she knew that I was looking into ordering some make p:rem , so she sent her new sunscreens to me. 😻She also included the most perfect stickers, Coffee Right MEOW. YES. That is so me. Thank you, Angela!! I'm going to patch test this week, and hopefully the UV filters will be ok for my skin. I have some sunscreen ingredient allergies, so I always patch test new sunscreens with unfamiliar ingredients. ••••••••••••••••••••••• Also, if you haven't voted for @beautyandthecat's @volitionbeauty sunscreen balls campaign, the voting link is in my bio.

In honor of #sunscreenweek, here is my current sunscreen collection. Some have been better for me than others. IMO, sunscreen is one of the most challenging beauty categories to find "The One." I often feel like Goldilocks while trying new sunscreens... This is too greasy. Or, this has too much white cast. Or, it's almost perfect, but it's only PA++! 😭 Etc etc... I also have some ingredient allergies, so that limits my sunscreen options even more. I'm allergic to Avobenzone and Oxybenzone/Benzophenone-3. Most recently, I've seen Avobenzone in the new Glossier sunscreen. It sounds amazing, but as soon as I read the ingredients for it, I knew we weren't meant to be. 😢 . I stick to Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide formulas, which are the most un-sexy UV filters as they white cast like crazy. If you've been following me for a while and have wondered, why is she using these inelegant sunscreens that have white cast? Ingredient allergies, that's why. ::heavy sigh:: . A few of the newer sunscreens containing my safe ingredients have made me pretty happy, though. So, I plan to share a couple reviews here over the next few days. . Speaking of sunscreens and sexiness, go vote for @beautyandthecat's Sun Pearls (aka sunscreen balls, #nutsforballs) on Volition Beauty! The voting link is in her bio. What sexy fun it would be to rub her sunscreen balls on your face?! The most fun you've ever had while applying sunscreen, that's for sure... Creamy balls of sunscreen bursting on your face. Oh, yeah. But, it won't happen if you don't vote!!! .

I've been meaning to post a review on this for a while, but never got around to it! Since it's #SunscreenWeek, it seemed like a good time to finally get to this. 😬 I received the Kari Gran Three Sixty Five SPF 28 as part of a Beauty Heroes monthly box sometime last year. I was very excited to try it, because it's a non-nano Zinc Oxide based sunblock made with organic ingredients. Unfortunately, after a week of daily use, I ended up breaking out. Some things that I did like about it was that it's quite liquidy and lightweight, not at all thick or heavy. It wore great under makeup. It also dried down nicely and didn't make me oily, which was a pleasant surprise as it contains several plant oils. Also, the white cast was pretty mild. I was pleased with that. (Swipe right for a white cast pic) Now, the negatives... in addition to breaking me out, it has an unpleasant scent. I admit that my nose is probably more sensitive than most, so that might be part of it. But, it smelled faintly of house paint and oil. There are no added fragrances, so it shouldn't have been a surprise that it wouldn't smell great. I also wished that the SPF was higher than 28. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't forget to vote for @beautyandthecat's Sunscreen Pearls SPF 30 on @volitionbeauty! #SunscreenWeek may be over, but voting for Angela's balls continues for 3 more weeks.
