Christine what is your favorite sunscreen or moisturizer with sunscreen? Preferably physical sunscreen with zinc and titanium dioxide because the chemical ones irritate my skin.

Lotus Avatar

Hello again! I went through so much to find a compatible one because my skin is so fussy! I was using Drunk Elephant’s but it would pill.. And I got sick of it. Finally I found my holy grail of sunscreen and it’s amazingly full of benefits and not too expensive! (I tried them all! Shiseido didn’t even work, not ski criticisms, not clarins) RADICAL. Puh-lease check it out! It’s liquids and sets so nicely! It works as a primer perfectly and is moisturizing and silky! Best part? It’s barely but it is a lightly pink tint that is brightening for us pale girls! I urge you to try it. I spent hundreds on a few, even! This is my HG & it improves the skin! Please google for reviews and more info! Beautyprofessor did s review as well which was stellar! Sunscreen is uber important but when one can’t be found to wear that is efficient and works, what to do? Radical SPF 30! I promise you. It is available at sephora so if for some reason you don’t like it.. Return it. But it’s sooo great! I promise you, Ginny! And a tiny bit goes a long way! Googling will help you learn about this one I highly recommend! I hope you find it works well for you also! 🙂 PHYSICAL ONLY. 🙂

Lotus Avatar

That typo would be skinceuticals. Sorry! Drunk elephant is amazing if you don’t mind pilling.. But no matter how applied, it still did! Even when I patted DE marula oil on it! I didn’t know what to next! That was the first I could use! Finally I found Radical SPF 30 by chance when looking at foundation swatches at the beautyprofessor’s site and I clicked and the page changed to a different review. Thank GOD. I look forward to using it everyday and I stay INSIDE! It’s AMAZING. Love ya, girl! :*

I love drunk elephant except for the glitter!! What is that?? I wear it in my yard when Im in the garden, but I hate sparkle. But generally, I’m totally in love with them.

Lotus Avatar

Hi, Coffeedrinker! 🙂 I LOVE Drunk Elephant SO much!!! Long ago, as soon as I found they launched and what incredie things they did, I felt instinctually drawn to them! I was using everything in their skincare line for so many months until it no longer produced results, and I needed a different sunscreen for my face because I’d be needing to wear foundation and it pills up! But I loved it and it felt great! I can see it being excellent for the body! I don’t go outside much so I don’t need to slather my arms, etc. But I would with it! The little shimmers are a total mystery to me! Perhaps to give a glow? I do love and am currently obsessed with their Shaba Eye treatment! It WORKS! And I do, probably won’t ever stop, keep using the Luxury Virgin Marula Oil! How fantastic is that product!? I’m so happy when I see somebody loving their products! They put so much time and effort to get rid of the bad stuff and support the elephants! Such a beautiful company and their products last forever! Do you use the C-firma day serum? I had to quit before the whole line because it smelled like bacon to me. Not okay! 😛 haha! I’m using Sunday Riley now, a handful I’ve found working well as a solid routine, but had it not been for Drunk Elephant, my skin would not be able to tolerate it or my Mia, which I’m able to use again! Hats off to the TLC FRAMBOOS night glycolic serum!!!! Life changer! 🙂 Thank you for sharing with me! I’m glad you love DE! I don’t find many who even have awareness of it and they’re sooo good! Yay! 🙂

Sarah Avatar

I’ve used the SPF (which I love except for that damn sparkle) and the AHA serum. That serum changed my life. I’ve tried the marula oil in a sample, and loved it. Unfortunately I can’t pull the trigger on buying it until I use up all my other oils. Honestly, right now I just use my own little concoction of equal parts jojoba, sea buckthorn oil, and vitamin e at night and Sunday Riley Juno during the day.

The AHA serum is pricey, but it blows my mind that people blow so much money on products that are laden with fragrances and other nonsense (Guerlain, Dior, etc). I like that instead of paying for a label, I’m paying for an honest to goodness product that WORKS!

My only wish with DE is that they become a B Corp status. But beyond that their company philosophy is something I can totally get behind. I sent a thank you email to the company after I fell in love with the AHA and I got a personal letter back from the CEO. That’s a nice personal touch.

Ginny Avatar

Thanks so much, Lotus! I “favorited” it on Sephora. I’m definitely in need of an spf that plays well with makeup and other moisturizers. This sounds great :). My biggest defense is big hats!

Lotus Avatar

Omg Ginny!! I tried EVERYTHING! (Not kidding at all) This is sooooo wonderful! The price seems high but when you get it, there’s so much in it and just a few drops do it! I will totally keep you updated when I receive the ColouPop, btw, and work my way through the ones you asked specifically about, which I figured would make for great eyeshadows or lip stain, so it’s a win win! Fox is nothing like Early bird. It’s a satin peachy Nide coral. Natural nudish pink type color but kicked up a notch! 🙂 This is from my extensive research, anyway. 🙂 I really hope you try the radical! I think Dermstore has it! They always have deals, percentages off, free shipping, and so does Skin Store! With full return policy! Cannot recommend it enough! Best I’ve ever used!!! 🙂 And thank you so much, I am hanging in! 🙂 I hope you’re keeping well!! 🙂

Lotus Avatar

When you make an account with Dermstore and add something to your favorites, if you put anything from your favorites into your cart and use the code REMINDER, you always get 10% off! They’re lovely over there! 🙂 Ah, the formula is a dream! 🙂

Ginny Avatar

The fact that it’s tinted really appeals to me! Even being pale, I can still tell when a zinc sunscreen is casting a white pallor over my face.

Lotus Avatar

Oh, Ginny! I’m just dying to jump through the screen and demo it! It makes the skin look better!!! So gorgeous! If you have no acne or serious hyperpigmentation, it’s literally all you need for a flawless face! It feels soooo good!!! Argh I want to show you!!!! Lol!! It’s like a liquid hippo/monster/teasecske but no shimmer! I so wish you were nearby! I’d run over and toss it in your hand and ask you to play! I love sharing! 🙂

I have eczema and sensitive skin and I like Clinique City Block SPF 25 which has zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (note that the Clinique City Block SPF 40 has additional sunscreen actives in it that may be irritating to sensitive skin, so I would suggest the 25 for you) and it’s lightly tinted to counteract whitening. I also like Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 with only zinc oxide in it.

Every year I look forward to these Sephora kits –they are a great way to try out a bunch of products, although I do notice that the price has creeped up over the years on some kits. I did try the sunscreen kit one year, and unfortunately about 80% of the sunscreens had fragrance, so I could only use on my body, but I should’ve checked the ingredients before. Otherwise, love the kits. Since I’m such beauty junkie, I already have a zillion free samples from buying stuff and already have tried most of these products, so I don’t need the kits this year, but this is great for others

Trina Avatar

I really like these kits. Great way to try multiple things at a bargain price. I don’t know if it’s still there but this morning they had the give me some lip set from last year the $25 one. If anyone missed it you have a second chance.

Kim Avatar

Please note that many of the complaints are that many of the products in the sunscreen kits are for light/medium skin. Since I have cover fx drops in g60,70 and n70 I hope I can still use them!
