Review : Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 50+ For Face

Hello everyone! I honestly never worn any specific face sunscreen under my makeup. I usually wear bb cream / foundation or moisturizer that contains spf in it. But i been watching Christine aka xteener on youtube for a long time and many times i saw her wearing Shiseido Sunscreen prior her bb cream/ foundation routine. She says it keeps her skin matte for longer time since she has oily combo skin like i do, i figured to went to Sephora and bought one for myself. 

I picked the small size in 1.2 oz for $19.50 at Sephora. 

I took screenshot on product details from Sephora website, click here for more details! 

Packaging : it comes in tube squeeze form and i love the blue packaging to it. 

Texture/Formulation : A white thick cream with typical sunscreen smells. 

How My Makeup Holds with this sunscreen :

Application : A small dime sized. I basically put dots all of my face and spread them out with my fingers. It gives me slight white tint to my natural face color. 

Bare Face

Can you see a slight whit-ish tint on my face on the picture below? and the line marks between my hairline and my forehead?

Makeup done.

In this point, i have blotted my face once, i noticed a slight shine through my face around 5 pm and this is how my makeup look like around 8.00 pm. I think it looks great!

How My Makeup Holds without this sunscreen :

Makeup done.

In the afternoon, i went out to lake and haven't blot my face yet around this hour.

And around 3.00 pm i blotted my shiny face and this picture below how my makeup looks like around 6.30 pm. Can you see shines through my face? My T-zone got pretty oily!

Pros :

• Non greasy feeling
• Mattifying my makeup and make it last alot longer
• Absorb to the skin fast
• Good packaging 
• Skin defense against excessive sun exposure (anti aging benefit)

Cons : 

• Expensive
• Unpleasant smells like typical sunscreen 

Have you tried this sunscreen? Let me know how is your experience with it.

My Summer Must Haves!

Beauty products i can't live without for this summer :

• Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 50 : i wish i would have discovered this any sooner in my life! This is the only sunscreen lotion that keeps my makeup last all day and matte for pretty good ammount of hours!
• Philosophy Amazing Grace Fragrance Spray : i currently loving this fragrance mist for summer! 
• Physicians Formula Nude Wear Blush in natural : my go to blush, this blush gives light pigmentation on the skin and buildable.
• Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Ave Princess : you know i love high intensity bronzer, and this is amazing to achieve some serious contour, i love using this bronzer with big blush brush and just swipe it to warm up my face.
• Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector ( for combo / oily skin ) : great bb cream that gives enough coverage. 
• UD De Slick Makeup Setting Spray 
• Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo in Musk and Lychee : such great double sided lipstick. they are nude based, almost look like your natural lip color and very wearable for everyday. 
• Up & up oil absorbing sheets : Target brand oil blotting sheets and comparable to clean and clear ones. 
• Jordana BestLash Extreme Volumizing Mascara and Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Volum Express Mascara : these combo makes my lashes "alive" without having to wear falsies!
• The Body Shop lip butter in Guarana : currently fave lip balm!

I wear everything i mentioned on this picture above! I love this look with very minimal ammount of makeup. 

• Forget to include my elf eyebrow kit into the picture! Well groomed eyebrow is so important for me all times! And i find this $3 eyebrow kit works great!
