AMW Reviews: SunPlay Watery Cool Sunblock Lotion with Menthol SPF65 PA+++

Happy Monday!  Are you lazy?  Sleepy?  Wanting to go back to bed?  *high five*  I'm sure I feel the same!  Since I came back from Shanghai, I've been very sick but it's all worth it!  It was fun walking around the city and I'm proud to announce, I did not get lost!  I made sure to do my research and ask my brother on how to go to a certain place and took down notes as I take a peek at my post-it notes every now and then as I get pushed inside the train!  *laughs* 

All worth it! 

Speaking of walking around the city.  The weather in Shanghai was as crazy as Manila!  It's hot, humid and it rains mid-day!  Though I brought an umbrella with me, I'm not used to using it to protect myself from the sun! (Bad Nikki!)  But hey, I made sure to apply sunblock approximately 30 minutes before I leave the hotel room!  

Since I knew it's going to be hot and humid in Shanghai, I brought with me the SunPlay SPF 26 PA++ Watery Cool Clear & Smooth.

Pros

• Packaging is super cute, simple, tiny packaging easily to carry during travel.
• Packaging has a clear print on expiration date.

• Once purchase, you know that the product you are getting is fresh from manufacturer due to its nice packaging.

• The twist cap prevents spillage.

• Easy to wipe/clean the tip after every use.

• Multi-tasking product, can be used on both face and body.
• Milky formula makes it easy to spread all over face and body.
• Gets absorbed into the skin in no time!
• Doesn't leave white casts.
• Does not feel heavy on skin even if I perspired a lot.
• I did not get dark after walking approximately more than an hour under direct sunlight.

Cons

• I can easily use up this product because of its tiny size.   
• It says to have "Menthol" for cooling effect but I never felt it? (could it be just me?)
• A bit pricey for 35g product.

Overall

I had a friend who texted me telling me how she hated the feeling of sunscreen but she needed the protection, I immediately recommended this to her because I've tested this under the most extreme weather (direct sunlight, heat plus humidity) and this fairs really well!  I did not have a bit of the sticky-feel that I sometimes get in other sunblock!  Once I got back, I immediately asked Mr. AMW if I got dark, he told me: "Nope!" So SPF65 protection, CHECK!

Tips

• Apply at least 15 minutes before you go out of the sun.
• Do not follow my crazy steps, try to use a hat, umbrella and steer clear from direct sunlight even if you have sunblock protection! 
• If you have very sensitive skin, do the patch test before you apply this all over your body.
• Do the same on face application, apply a bit on one area and see if your skin reacts!  
• Shake well before use, you can hear the sound of the "metal ball" inside.
• Always clean the tip after every use (just my OC thing).
• Re-apply  if you've been sweating a lot or if you were out of the sun for too long.
• Planning to head on to the beach and you needed much more protection?  Choose their other variant that has higher SPF.  Sunplay Super Block SPF130 PA+++

Once applied on one arm, after less than 5 minutes

it gets absorbed into my skin without the "shine" or "film-y texture"

A good sunblock lotion that goes up to my list!
