Great Light Weight Mineral Sunscreen
I read about this and decided to get some. So glad I did. It’s very liquidy and light weight. Goes on easy and absorbs in well. It leaves a slight white cast that disappears in 2-3 seconds. Has a very light scent that goes away in a less than a minute. I am very sensitive to scent and this did not bother me. Looks good and feels good. So glad I took a chance and bought this. I’d recommend it. FYI-I have combination skin and tends to look oily easily and this looks good and doesn’t make me look really greasy/oily.

Not For Me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate to say I really disliked this sunscreen. The only thing I like about the Vacation Shake Shake SPF 50 Mineral Milk Face Sunscreen is the packaging. The texture is definitely milky and I would even say silky but I think it feels very thick on my skin and it did not blend well. I felt like it left a white cast on my face. I think the scent is heavy and somewhat obnoxious. I would not want to smell it for long periods of time. This product is not for me. The packaging also says to use a waterproof sunscreen if swimming or sweating, while I’m glad for the warning but I’m not interested in something that is not multi purpose. The shaker in the packaging worked well, I felt like my product was mixed and dispensed easily. I would not use this sunscreen in the future and I would not recommend it to others. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Old timey
I’m happy with this product. It applies to the skin well, leaves a glow, isn’t too heavy, and works with makeup. The nostalgic bottle is both fun and comforting. Thank you for making old stuff great again

Amazing Mineral Sunscreen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing mineral sunscreen! It is so fun to apply, and easy too! It doesn't take much effort like other mineral sunscreens and leaves no white cast on me. I also love the packaging! Because this sunscreen is so lightweight, this package keeps it easy to use and mess free! Received as part of an educational promotion.I also really like that this is reef safe. While I found myself using this as a part of my daily beauty routine, I will definitely use this when I am at the beach or going snorkeling in the barrier reef near to me. It is very important to me that I am not wearing sunscreens that are likely to harm the reefs so I love that this one does not contain any of those harmful sunscreen chemicals (in fact it does not contain any sunscreen chemicals as it uses minerals). This is also so fun to use. It is really a unique packaging that makes it very easy, but I also couldn't get over how fun it is! **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Lightweight Everyday Sunscreen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of an educational program review, and I’m so glad I had the chance to test it out. I really like how lightweight and liquidy this sunscreen is. The consistency truly looks like milk, which makes it so easy to apply. It blends in perfectly and doesn’t leave any white hue on my skin, which is a big plus for me. I also love the size and the bottle design. It’s compact, spill friendly, and easy to throw in my bag for daily errands or on the go use.It wears really well under makeup and doesn’t pill at all with my concealer and blush on. My skin feels hydrated throughout the day. I haven’t tested it under a super hot and sunny day yet, but I did notice that I needed to reapply after my HIIT workout session, which is expected with heavy sweating.The only downside I’d mention is the strong sunscreen scent. It doesn’t personally bother me, but I can see how it might be an issue for people who are sensitive to fragrance. I think for the price point and the product you get, it’s a great lightweight mineral sunscreen that feels comfortable and looks good on the skin. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
