Product Rants & Raves

Have you tried any products lately that you loved or hated?

Re: Product Rants & Raves

  • Rave:

    Costco's Pesto -- it rivals the homemade stuff my step-mom makes, so yummy.

    Rant:

    Spray-on sunblock -- we bought this stuff that was SPF100, and it was so greasy and nasty.  I don't know if that's normal for all the spray-on ones, or just this one in particular (I don't even remember what brand).

  • Last time someone posted this (probably you) I was too busy to answer but thought it was a great idea. Now that I have time to answer, I'm blanking on my rants/raves.

    Do you know what brand it was?  I've used both Nutrigena and  Banana Boat and I've loved them both!  Especially the Nutrigena.  That stuff is amazing, and not greasy at all!

    I would have to check when I get home.  We bought it last-second at the AA Art Fairs because it was so effing hot this year.  It seriously was like we lubed up for a body-building contest, lol.  I was wiping it off myself all day, it looked like I was sweating profusely.

  • Ok, I just did a quick search, and I'm pretty sure it is 'Coppertone Sport Clear Continuous Spray SPF 100'.  Definitely a blue bottle. 

    It is also very possible that we sprayed it on too thick, it was the first time we had every tried the spray-on kind.  :o)  We both had to shower when we got home because we felt so gross.

    Yeah, I would definitely suggest the Neutrogena stuff... I like the "Cooling" stuff.

  • Rave: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock.  This stuff is so great!  It absorbs really quick and, like the name says feels dry.  It's not greasy at all, and even after I get sweaty, it doesn't feel sticky.  I've been wearing it as a daily sunscreen (I'm working at a day care), and can't even tell it's on.  AND, with one application in the morning of 55 spf, I haven't gotten burnt all summer (and I am SUPER pale and burn easily).  I LOVE it.
