#skincareroutine for Friday morning, 5/26/17 Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser . Drunk Elephant C Firma Serum . Tata Harper Illuminating Eye Cream*, this is a light cream that has a sheer peachy/pink tint which gives a mild brightening effect . Tata Harper Clarifying Spot Solution*, I love this. Shrinks zits without drying out my skin . Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel*, feels like a drink of water for my face. My skin always feels quenched and bouncy afterwards, but doesn't make me greasy later in the day. I never would've considered this for myself and I'm happy @peachandlily introduced it to me . Missha All Around Safe Waterprood Sunblock, so far I love this. It's so lightweight, has a liquidy feel, not thick or heavy, has no white cast, isn't greasy and is great under makeup, but it does contain alcohol. I missed it b/c it's listed as Ethanol. I bought this from @ohlollybeauty, and they're having a 15% off suncare promo, now through 5/30, code is SUNSOUT. I'm on their mailing list and saw that email yesterday. After reading #sunscreenweek posts, I wanna buy a ton MOAR sunscreens lol .

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!!! .
