This is something I keep re-buying, which is a lot to say because I am rather adventurous when it comes to cosmetics and the more I experience the happier I am !
It has a very soft texture that glides easily on the skin. It gives an almost soothing sensation. They say it is water resistant, well I cannot tell because I avoid using it when I know I am going to sweat a lot ( sport, hot summer days) : It is tinted and I would hate to stain my clothes.
There are only two shades available and they don' t match my pale/rosy complexion. Yet the result looks natural ( I have it in sable/sand). I just look sunkissed, which is a nice change.
The only down sides are the price ( spread wth your fingertips instead of the sponge, you will use less ) and the fact that physical sunscreens are said to be less effective at protecting against UVA.
It does not make my face turn oily and it provides a bit of coverage.
And the compact with mirror is so convenient !

This is a water resistant Compact sunscreen with SPF 50B and 15A which is very high protection. THe best part is that it's like a compact powder and there's even a separate compartment for the sponge. The only drawback is that it's only 1 color and it can be rather dark for the very fair skinned who put alot of it on. For everyone else, this is a great 'carry-out' for sunscreen touchups. Color gives a healthy glow. Not for those who wants a fair look. And also not to be used to heavily as it can get rather thick and heavy then, it is a cream afterall. But it's my HG for touching up!
