AMW Reviews: L'oreal UV Perfect XL Block Advanced Spray Protector

Funny how I've always snubbed sunblock, now I knew the importance of it, I'm addicted!  If I haven't stress enough on my blog how important sunblock is, well I'm nagging YOU again! :P

After my first sunblock experience from The Face Shop, as I sailed through Neutrogena Sun Block, then with my first L'oreal Sunblock experience in Cream Gel form, now I'm on with a spray form!  If you don't call that addiction, you can call it paranoia! lol

Pros

• spray type packaging makes it easier, no overspilling
• water resistant
  
• absorbs to the skin easily, no greasy feel
• has SPF40!
• no weird scent
• no allergies
• liquid consistency, easy to apply
  
• manufacturing  date printed

Cons

• though it is not sticky or greasy, there is still a weird feeling of "barrier" especially if you perspire
• if you're into scent, sorry this doesn't have any!  Just a faint sunblock smell
• because of its "pearlescence", taking photos with flash may make you look "oily" or "perspiring"
  

Overall

L'oreal UV Perfect XL Block is the sunblock I take along  with me if I plan to go swimming due to its water resistant properties.  I like the spray type tube especially with its watery texture as it wll easily spill without this type of packaging.  I like spraying this all over my legs and arms before I hit the sun and how it felt so light and gives out a nice and natural glow on my skin! 

Tips

•  water resistant, did not state perspiration resistant so do reapply if you're out in the sun too long
• apply 10-15 minutes prior to sun exposure
• always check expiration date, chuck out expired products
• if itchiness or allergies occur, STOP using the product immediately
• wait for sales ! L'oreal always have sales down here, 10-20% is worth the wait!
