Sun Safety!

Taking a bit of a break from nails today - mostly because I have not had a chance to polish them today. Anywho, I picked up Sephora's Sun Safety Kit and am sooo excited to use it this summer. I will probably have a chance to use something from it tomorrow as I am going to be outside for a bit. The only trouble is deciding on which product to use. For those not familiar, the Sun Safety kit for this year is a 17-piece kit of several sunscreen and tanning products. I have never picked up one before so that's why I'm so excited about it.

It's $30 at Sephora, but all of the profits go to the Skin Cancer Foundation, which I think is neato. The retail value is $193! Sold! It says it's a 17-piece kit, but really it's 19 because the brush for the mineral veil is included as well as a fab train case (which I really needed anyway for my overflow of makeup).

Here's a complete list (mind you - these products are small in size):
-Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector SPF 42 PA+++
- Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
- Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer SPF 15 with Dermaxyl Complex
- Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion SPF 30
- Ole Henriksen Protect The Truth SPF 50+ Sunscreen
- Philosophy Hope Oil-Free SPF 30
- Boscia Oil-free Daily Hydration SPF 15
- St. Tropez Gradual Tan
- Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 PA+++
- Supergoop! SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion for Face and Body Cream Oil-free
- Origins VitaZing SPF 15
- Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15
- Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 25 Mineral Veil and brush
- Sephora Collection Age Defy Moisture Cream SPF 15
- Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 60 PA +++
- Kate Somerville Somerville 360° Face Self Tanning Pad
- TanTowel Classic Self-Tan Towelette for Face & Body


I gotta say that I'm super excited to try the St. Tropez and the Tan Towel. I am also excited to try the BB from Dr. Jart - haven't tried a BB yet. I also want to use the Photo Finish. I use Avon's primer now and like it, but always wanted to try the Photo Finish. I already know I love Mineral Veil. I doubt I'll use the tiny brush included. That brush seems better suited for blush or something. I have to say I have never heard of Supergoop! before. I guess that's what kits are all about - trying new things. I am kind of wary of the self-tanning face pad, though. Sounds scary.

Here are pictures:

I just love the packaging - it is on all four sides of the train case! Cute!


Another side of the case. I really am looking forward to trying the Fresh Sugar balm. My upper lip always gets burnt at baseball games!

These are the tanning supplies. St. Tropez!! Yay!!
