OMBRELLE Anti-Shine Cream

Every Spring the Sun hits us with a bang, we go from white to red to brown in an instant. I try my best to wear a coverup and big hat when out in it, especially between 10am and 3pm, but sometimes you’ve just gotta be out there. When you do I love a face moisturizer with SPF. This year I tried GARNIER OMBRELLE anti shine cream. With an SPF of 60 you’d expect some coverage. This product failed me in so many ways. First, I burned, like right away. And second, it has the slightest pink tint to it, didn’t even notice when I applied but when I laundered all my whites I had been using they all had a pink stain around the collar and sleeves. No mention of this tint on the packaging anywhere but some of the text is a soft purple….so I was stumped.

I promptly tossed it and went back to my fave EAU THERMALE by Avene, SPF 50, and lovely. Also available at Pharmasave.
