SPF Products of 2020 | Beauty

SPF Products of 2020 | Beauty 


I know,  I mentioned one of these last year for sure, but I wanted to share it again plus a few more products I'm loving this summer that have SPF included in them. While I really like most of these, some of them have negatives I need to breakdown for you. SPF is super important in the summer, but should be all year long too! No judgement here because I have slacked on it too, but I have read so much on SPF with anti-aging skincare. I have also talked to others with already maturing skin and how they swear by their SPF for youthful skin. Actual sunscreen SPF is the absolute best for sun protection, but if you can get it in other products such as color correctors, moisturizers, setting sprays, or BB and CC creams that is great and it's at least some protection against those UVA-UVB rays.



So this has been my go-to body sunscreen for the last couple of summers, unless I'm throwing on baby sunblock after I lather the boys in it. Ha! Bare Republic does have one for the face too. I just personally haven't tried it, but I wouldn't recommend this one for the face since it is a body one. It may cause you to break out. Plus you can get better SPF coverage in face products with this one only being 30. This one has a runny consistency, but is nice and spreads over my arms/legs smoothly. I also appreciate the nice scent. It's a light tropical scent. Since it is a body one you get a bigger bottle, but the rest are all face/skincare items. This one was just good enough to share too! Your body is just as important as your face!



This one I have used for my face with no issues. It is super gentle on my skin. Although it is a moisturizer it has an SPF 50 which is incredible! I don't like going over SPF 50, but with my face I prefer 50 over less. 
This one isn't like the one I mentioned before. It doesn't feel like a sunscreen when you apply it. It's like a light moisturizer that turns slightly tacky on the skin after it sinks in. Which is great for a makeup base if you use this as your daily SPF before makeup. Coola has a lot of amazing products, but this has been my favorite so far because it is a product I can wear under my makeup or alone without it irritating my skin or bothering me. Oh and apparently the packaging has changed, but the one I linked is the same product as this. The bottle is smaller, but perfect size for a face product and a little goes a long way. It does have a smell to it, but more like a natural skincare scent.



As you can tell this deluxe sample got a lot of love with not much product left in it. This was my go-to for awhile and while I love Purlisse and so many of their products... I fell in love with the Coola one. This one is great by itself, but it's a little thick feeling on the face. The Coola moisturizer is white too, but rubs out quick to sheer. This one takes a little more and has a drop in SPF. This one also has more of the sunscreen scent to it. If you're looking for just a nice light face SPF it's nice, but can be a little oily on the skin. Nothing wrong with that if you can handle the feeling and dewy look of the skin. I couldn't find this exact one on their site, but they have the Blue Lotus one with the same SPF 30 you can check out. 



This is a straight up face sunscreen. Not moisturizer, but just the SPF goods. I have some pros and cons on this one. I don't like it under my makeup. It feels like a Smashbox photo focus silicone primer moment. It's not really my thing, but on its own for a no makeup day it is nice. It goes on sheer, doesn't have a strong scent, good in between SPF coverage, doesn't leave the skin oily feeling (or looking), and is water/sweat resistant which is great for outdoor activities. This one I like for days outside in the backyard with my kids, when I garden, when I take our dog for a walk, etc. I'm really enjoying it for non makeup days!



Staying with Supergoop! for a minute.. This one sounds amazing.. SPF you spray on and you're good to go, but this is another non makeup moment. Over makeup you get super oily and it breaks the makeup up on your face. This is just a deluxe sample too, but the spray is actually nice and very fine. It has SPF 50 which again, is great, but I feel like I would go with their other over this one for the way it makes my skin feel. I also am not a fan of the scent in this one. You can't really tell once it is applied, but because it is so strong at application it makes me wonder how harsh it is on my face. I like that the other doesn't have that scent. Either way they're both non makeup day go-to products that I will use up, but if I repurchase I would buy the other over this one. 



So this product is not only a redness color correcting skincare product, but also has sunscreen SPF 30. I want to touch briefly on this one because I just filmed a Skincare Sunday on this product that will be up this coming Sunday. I really like their Tiger Grass cream product so I was happy to try this out. It smells just like their Tiger Grass Cream which smells like essentials oil haha. It has a green tint, as you can see, which helps combat redness in your skin and has worked really well for me. Wether my skin is irritated or has breakouts at my time of the month this product dulls that down right before makeup application. My makeup layers on it very well and it's a good SPF 30 under my makeup. 



And lastly, I wanted to recommend two of my go-to lightweight BB and CC creams that have SPF included in them to maybe save you some time and stress. It Cosmetics CC has SPF 50 and amazing coverage while Purlisse has SPF 30 and sheer to light coverage. Both are amazing products, light weight, gives your skin a healthy glow, and wear amazingly. I enjoy them both so much in the summer for all those reasons. 
I hope this was helpful for your SPF needs. Just don't forget your body is just as important as your face and also make sure to use the face products on your neck too. You neck ages faster than your face. What is most important is your protection and being pro active with your health against skin cancer. XO

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
