Makeup That You Need This Summer: E.L.F. Studio SPF 45 Sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection

Hey everyone! I discovered some great makeup this summer that are perfect for the heat! They all appear extremely natural on my skin, which is great because I'm totally into the no-makeup look. I love them all! To share them with you, I'm going to write a review for all of them in the next few days. Today, I'm going to start with E.L.F.'s Studio SPF 45 Sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection.


E.L.F. Studio SPF 45 Sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection
I bought this lovely sunscreen at E.L.F.'s 50% off everthing sale. With the discount, it was $3, which is insanely inexpensive, but normally it costs $6 on their website, which is also a really good deal. If you aren't aware of the importance of sunscreen, I found a great article here. I know that sunscreen is really important and should be used daily, but in all honesty, most days I walk out of the door without even thinking about sunscreen. In an effort to fit in more SPF, I was on the lookout for a new daily sunscreen that doesn't cause me to break out or one that takes an hour to slather on and sink in. Luckily, I found this great powder sunscreen that's really easy and quick to apply and doesn't cause any blemishes (of which I have a fair share of already). Everyday, I put E.L.F.'s Studio Sunscreen with UVA/UVB Protection on with my E.L.F. Mineral Powder Brush under my makeup. Because it's a loose powder, it can get a little bit messy, but that's not a big issue for me. Inside the container, there's a little makeup applicator puff, but I prefer not to use it. It comes in rather bulky black packaging that houses 0.035 ounces of product. The color is transparent, and because it's a powder, there isn't the greasy feeling that some liquid sunscreens cause. Also, it's unscented, so those of you who are sensitive to fragrances shouldn't have a problem. It really works well for me, and I hope you try it and love it as much as I do!
