How I Pinch A Penny

I was tickled to receive not one but two bottles of the Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock in the mail to review. I was also pleased to se they were full sized bottles. So many time you get a product to sample or review and they are just a drop or two. I will be able to get the full experience of the product.

Upon first using Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock I was pleased to see that the dispensing tip was tiny but adequate. So many time I use a sun block product and the product will come flying out of the tube and I have too much product for my face. I then have to try and wipe it BACK into the container or just waste it down the drain. I am not one for wasting so I am usually trying to scrape it back in the container. What a pain!

Secondly I was delighted with the fragrance. It did not smell like the other sun screen products I have used in the past. To me it had a slight lilac smell to it ( my all time favorite flower) and was not chemically smelling AT ALL. It had more of a high end cosmetic moisturizer fragrance than a sunblock fragrance.

I applied it to my face, neck and arms. I am a pale, blonde, freckle-faced mom of 3 kids. I have been told my various dermatologists and Dr.s that I have sun damage on my face and I really should be wearing a sun block every day. I just didn’t because of the weight and smell of other products I have tried. Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock was light and absorbed into my skin quickly. I didn’t feel like I wanted to take a shower and wash it off after I had applied it! It didn’t bother my contacts with ‘off gassing’ of the product. That was nice.

The spf of 70 was a big bonus for me. Being freckle-faced I am looking for all the protection I can get!

I am not able to tell you any protection results yet but if the protection is any thing like the rest of my experience of Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock I have high hopes.

I am wondering what the price point for Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock will be….

I love Chick-Fil-A.  If you do not have one close to you, I am so sorry.  They didn’t invent the chicken…just the chicken sandwich.  Through Twitter I found out that they are having a Chicken Wave.  It is a digital wave ( think football games ) where you are able to personalize your cow and stand up and cheer for your favorite food… the chick -Fil-A sandwich.  PLUS there are prizes!!  We all love prizes!!

Come join me and stand up and cheer for Chick-Fil-A.  I am wearing the pink jersey, I have blonde piggy tails on my bovine face  and I am waving a #1 foam finger and clutching a Coca-Cola Zero.  Yeah Chick-Fil-A!!!

When I showed the new desktop wall paper to my oldest she said, ” why am I not first?  I am older.”  I told her that her picture was bigger.  That seemed to appease her…for now.
