OK thanks Randy. (maybe I'll send them an email asking them if they have that kind of test data...but I'm thinking if they did they'd be talking about it.)
-
I'll have to try the Laura Mercier caviar sticks... Can you recommend some tube forming mascara/s that you like? (oh and yes I saw your separate post about tightlining - I do this (I think) every time I wear eye liner. I say "I think" bec…

I actually been doing this too - I use the CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion though - and it's been working OK. I think the dry patches were being caused by the new Mac shadow I was using as primer - have to return that... Now I want to find a SUNSCRE…

Gotcha. :D

I'm in my mid 40s too. And I hear you. It really is a pain in the butt to put on sunscreen every day. If they truly felt like moisturizers, without being sticky, staining clothes, or having a smell, that would really help. Well, I hope knowing I do …
-
Oh yes I don't mess around. But i hear what you're saying - very, very often, I get tempted to not put it on...oh, I'm just going to get coffee...oh I'm just going to the store... But ultimately I just do it. I *know* the effects are cumulative. I d…

Great, sarah thank you, I'll look locally (I don't trust Amazon for beauty products).
-
The one area I am not diligent with - and I should be - as I am sure protecting them would also help them look better longer - is my feet.
-
Oh I protect my chest, forearms and hands as carefully as I do my face and neck...since those areas can also show age so much also :( ...although I admit I did not start being diligent about this until the last few years.
-
OK thanks Randy!
-
Oh, I see - I didn't realize they had a physical one that was tinted. I don't think it's the one I had tried, then, I remember the one I tried being white. The mdsolarsciences is a tad dark for me - although I can get away with it - but lighter woul…

Thanks for thinking of me, sarah! I tried a sample of the elta md a while back (one of those little packets) and I remember thinking that it felt like a moisturizer. I remember liking it. But I can't for the life of me remember which one I tried or …
-
This is great, Sarah thank you, I've ruined a few workout tops and camisoles with sunscreen (even untinted sunscreen). Where do you normally buy it? (the place you linked to seems to only sell it by the dozen).
-
Thanks Randy. Well...it's expensive...but it really does feel good on, better than any of the straight oils I sometimes use. And I can even wear this under makeup if I wait long enough for it to absorb. When using this - (I know I've read this somew…

You're very welcome, Randy. I look forward to seeing the end result!
-
I am liking everything you're coming up with. Good point on the "saving money" - and yes, I agree that following that logic Beauty Myths should be a tag. However, the reason I also like it as a category is that I think it will draw interes…
-
NP Randy, glad to be of help, even if just to bounce off ideas. If this was my choice, I'd do it by products - mostly because my feeling is the categories won't be "endless" even if you include cosmetic procedures (lasers, fillers, etc.) a…
-
Organization is so subjective...and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I am not loving the above... It's almost like hair and skin are so broad they don't really do a great deal to make it easier to zoom in on what you may be looking for. And so…
-
I think I'd like a combination of being able to search for specific products AND / OR specific conditions... So I do like the broad categories idea like ShampoosConditionersMoisturizersLip Balms (hint hint) because I think the products is what I wo…
-
Oh I see. I do remember you mentioning the Flawless I thought maybe it's just not mattefying enough. But I did not realize your skin can get dry from powders. The whole oily but can get dry or dry but can get oily is complicated...
-
Sooooo subjective...I know... I have a feeling my skin is much, much drier than yours... But I'm with you on the high coverage...I *will* suffer a bit and put up with less than perfect if I know I'm protecting my skin... Have you tried a high mattef…
-
Thanks for all this links! Will check them out...let's see if I arrive at the same conclusion / feeling you did about 5% ZO.

OK - so...I used the tinted solarmdsciences yesterday - I had totally forgotten what it felt like and looked like. Definitely harder to spread than the SPF 50 one - it doesn't feel as "slippery" - it's more liquidy so the consistency make…
-
Sarah - tomorrow I will make it a point to wear the SPF 30 one and get back to you on whether I find it hard to spread - I have both the tinted and untinted - I'll try the tinted first since I know that's the one you're wearing most (actually not ev…
-
I don't find the mdsolarsciences sunscreen hard to spread at all (I'm talking about the SPF 50 one - it's the one I've been using lately)...but...I am generous with the application and there's no doubt in my mind I've covered every inch of skin... I…
-
OK - at least the 5% zinc oxide gives me a minimum to look for. And yes, that's why lately I've been looking to the solarsciences in my drawer more and more - I trust and love the 17% for my face. Thanks for the reminder that SPF only addresses the …
-
Thanks sarahf - I know, sunscreens are hard... Yeah, I think chemical sunscreen ingredients don't bother my skin...I just like mineral ones better. The only chemical ones I'm kind of willing to use are for when I go to the gym...I notice that many m…
-
sarah (yes, you can call me gina :) I own all 3 mdsolarsciences sunscreens - including the tinted one. I do use it once in a while and it's probably my favorite of the tinted sunscreens (I realized today I should make a list of all the sunscreens I …

Oh, by the way, I'm very fair...
