These products were sent to me for review from Bzzagent.
Today I have a review of something waaay different than nail polish, but still an essential - and yes I am implying that nail polish is an essential.
Sunscreen might be a bigger essential than nail polish because obviously you need it to prevent sunburn which can lead to skin damage which could lead to the big C which is definitely not good.
I was sent a large bottle and several sample bottles of Coppertone Clearly Sheer sunscreen "For sunny days" formula. This has broad spectrum SPF of 30 and is water resistant. I was also sent 2 spray bottles of the Coppertone continuous spray sunscreen which has broad spectrum SPF 50 and is also water resistant.
I like both formulas for different reasons/occasions.

I like the Clearly Sheer Sunscreen for my face. It goes on smoothly and almost feels like a primer. It does have dimethicone in it, so that's probably why it feels like a makeup primer. It soaks in fast and is not greasy at all. Plus, it doesn't smell like traditional sunscreen. I don't know about you, but I can't stand the smell of sunscreen. This smells like sunscreen at first, but that quickly dissipates, leaving a soft scent that's actually quite nice.
Ingredients:
Active ingredients (not in photo) are: Avobenzone- 3%; Homosalate- 10%; Octisalate- 4.55%; and Octocrylene- 8%
Here are the inactive ingredients. I love that there are no parabens or petrolatum. Those are yucky.

SPRAY:
Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen Continuous spray
I like the spray formula for a quick application before going outside. I love that you don't have to rub it in and it absorbs quickly. I use this mainly on my arms and legs when I'm in a hurry and want to get outside quickly. It does have a sunscreen-ey smell and does contain alcohol which you can smell when you first spray it. The alcohol smell does wear off after a bit. It also does leave a bit of a sheen on your arm:

In summary, I like both of these for different uses. I would recommend the cream over the spray because of the way it feels on your skin and the fact that you can use it on your face and it doesn't irritate it.
I have coupons for both products if anyone is interested, leave a comment below with your email address and I will contact you for your mailing address. U.S. only please!
