Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup: Part 1

"I also went in with my Summer Fridays Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen. This is my favorite sunscreen, especially under makeup. Sunscreen is a hit or miss for me when it comes to going under makeup because I find that a lot of sunscreens can pill underneath makeup. This one I've never had a bad experience with. I feel like it definitely prepped the skin."

"Summer Fridays Milk Mineral Shade Drops, they also have a foundation or more of like a BB face oil that goes with it but it's a pretty nice one. It is really nice, hydrating, and not for oilier skin I would say, just my take on it because it is on the moisturizing side. I do have a video where I tested it and I think it's still for sale, it's very nice."

"This one's a mineral sunscreen of zinc oxide. It does have a little bit of a white cast but it's not terribly so. It smooths in the skin really nicely and feels nice. Once it soaks in it has a little bit of reflectiveness but once you apply foundation over it it really is nice. We've also got lots of nice hydrate ingredients, we've got squalane in here, we've got shea butter, vitamin E, no scent to it. Really nice product."

"This has been one of my go-tos for quite a while now. This has a zinc oxide of 99.4% and this is very similar to the bloom sunscreen in terms of containing a beigy tone to it. I absolutely do not see a white cast with this whatsoever and it does have that nice serum texture. So if you want something that is extremely lightweight that truly feels like you don't have anything on your skin then you will absolutely love this. This sits nicely on top of moisturizer. I've never experienced peeling before and also this sits beautifully underneath makeup and of course tinted sunscreens. I use this quite a bit because I love that serum texture. It's very moisturizing and again if you want to skip a moisturizer you totally could because this just has that perfect formula that keeps your skin comfortable for the entire day no matter what skin type you have. And I do have combination skin and I am acne prone. This also contains squalene which again is very hydrating and this also contains some antioxidants as well. So I'm a big fan of this. You guys have heard me talk about this many times in the past and I truly can't recommend this enough."

"This one I do not get a cast at all but again it is very moisturizing and it just feels so nice on the skin. I really like this formula. I hope they come out with a water resistant formulation one day and also something with a higher SPF that would be really nice but in the meantime the formulation is truly on point and I've been using this sunscreen for quite a while now actually and it's one of my faves."

BEAUTY EMPTIES 2023 | PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP.. WILL I REPURCHASE?

"I have a Summer Fridays Shade Drops, this is their mineral milk sunscreen with an SPF 30. Honestly, this is my go-to sunscreen. I feel like I reach for this the most over everything else that I have in my sunscreen collection. I just really love the formula and the consistency of this because it's like a serum texture, it's milky, it spreads nicely, and it keeps your skin comfortable and hydrated for the entire day. But also it wears nice underneath makeup. My makeup never separates halfway through the day, my makeup stays in place, and it does give your skin this nice glow as well. So it looks skin-like but with a little bit of that glow. And it's just so easy to use as well. Now the only thing I will say is that this is not water resistant. I wish it was. I hope that they come out with a water resistant formulation because if we're going to be near water and we're going to be sweating a lot, we need that option. So that is the only downfall here. But this is great for everyday errands and great to wear to the office."

"It's not heavy, it's not sticky, it doesn't pill, and it's wonderful when you are using tinted options on top or even makeup. This really is one of my go-to's and I use this quite a bit. I was using this through the winter months as well and it did an excellent job when my skin was at its driest. This works so well and I love it. I highly recommend this if you are looking for that serum texture. This has that beigey tone to it as well, so I really do feel like it helps to disguise that white cast. I don't have a white cast with this whatsoever on my skin tone, but if you do have a darker skin tone there's always that possibility of a slight cast. But if you can find a formula that does have that beigey tone, I really do feel like it helps with that white cast. It's not as noticeable and it just blends into the skin a little bit nicer."

"I really love the Summer Fridays Shade Drops this is the broadspectrum SPF 30 mineral milk sunscreen this is 100% mineral with a zinc oxide of 99.4%. I really like this formula because it has that true serum texture where it spreads really nicely across the skin your skin absorbs it nicely as well there's no sticky tackiness involved there's no gross sunscreen smell and the color of the sunscreen is a beigy tone very similar to the packaging actually. With my experience with this this has not left a white cast on my fair skin and there's a lot of mineral sunscreens that will leave a cast on my fair skin but this does not and I'm wondering if it's because of that beigy tone that they've added to it but also I think it's because it's very thin and lightweight. I feel like mineral sunscreens that are very thick and rich they tend to leave more of a cast because they're thicker and this just absorbs into your skin."

"So I mean I like this one too but I actually think this is fraud. This one's only 9% zinc oxide and I heard it's they can claim it as SPF 30 because they have an ingredient called... which is chemical at that point, it's just a hybrid. We tested it and under UV it came back closer to 49 and 50 but we didn't want to overstate it because it wasn't 100% at 50 all the time, we're like it's definitely 40 something, but a lot of brands do that. I don't think there's anything wrong with adding that but for me it's marketing."

"This sunscreen is amazing it really goes on beautifully it's super lightweight on my skin tone it leaves no visible cast even though it is a mineral-based sunscreen and I just love the nice dewy finish that it gives like I feel like I have such a radiant glow every time I use this sunscreen it's also nice and moisturizing. Finding a sunscreen that you love that you actually are expecting excited to put on you look forward to how it looks on your skin even if you're not wearing any makeup it's so important."

"The Summer Fridays Shade Drops SPF 30 is a zinc based non-water resistant sunscreen that comes out as a very thin liquidy milk and I just love how lightweight it is. I do like to wear a moisturizer underneath because it can be pretty drying if worn on its own, but I really love how it rubs into the skin. The finish on this is quite natural so you're not really dewy or glossy but it's also not a matte finish, and that's why I like it because you can kind of wear it on its own, you could wear it under makeup which I do a lot, and it's actually pretty easy to reapply, and that's pretty hard to find in a mineral sunscreen."
