If you read through beauty tips on any magazines or from any online blogs or forums, one beauty secret everyone should incorporate in their daily life is to use a sunscreen! Yes, I am stressing that not only for you but also a huge reminder for myself!
After my review on my last sunscreen, The Face Shop's Natural Intensive Sun Cream SPF50, eventhough I tagged this as HG material to me, a lot of my readers have emailed me asking me about the L'oreal UV Perfect Advanced Fluid Face Protector SPF50. I've tried looking for them on selected L'oreal counters and guess what? Many times, they were out of stock! So that made me crazy and made me want to try it more!
Now that I got them on my dear hands, and after months of usage..I'm ready to spill the beans!
L'oreal UV Perfect Transparent Skin

L'oreal UV Perfect Even Complexion

Pros
First things first, do not purchase this and expect this to work as a makeup base or makeup corrector. This is meant to be as Sunscreen that has "added benefits". I am not surprised that a lot of people rave about this product because they do deliver! I have used all 3 variants (not at the same time) and i would say it works like a charm!
I have dry skin so the extra "glow" that could look shiny doesn't bother me at all because I am into "glowy" skin at the moment. I like it that I have SPF50 protection plus the benefit of anti-dullness or giving me the even complexion.
Do you want to know my favorite?
1. Even Complexion - I love it that it works like a tinted moisturizer, it does give a nice even coverage, the redness is not gone but it does minimize the redness so applying powder foundation right after makes it a charm!
2. Transparent Skin - though this works like most regular sunscreens out there, I choose to use this when I'm off for a "no makeup" look, if I'll be going out on a beach, this will definitely be my buddy!
3. Anti-Dullness - I am actually surprised this comes in third! Maybe it's just the "most watery" consistency that I am not fond of and probably the adjustment my skin has to go through using this. It's not very purple in texture, it's just a hint if purple that almost looks like the "transparent skin" version. I find that I don't see much difference with the "anti dullness" factor, maybe I should use this longer!
Now I get it why the UV perfect line has been tagged as "HG" (Holy Grail) for a lot of people, it's affordable and it delivers!
Tips
Will I repurchase?
Yes, between the 3, my favorite is the "tinted" version or the Even Complexion.
Where to purchase and how much?
Locally for Php495 (approx $10.00) available nationwide at SM department stores, Watsons Beauty Stores, PCX, The Landmark, Robinson's Department Stores, Shopwise, Rustan's Supermarket, Mercury Drug Stores, and Gaisano Metro Department stores.

Pros
- affordable
- wonderful packaging
- I am in love with products that has visible and "human readable" manufacturing dates
- SPF50!
- does not give me breakouts
- very light in texture
- moisturizes my dry skin (but not the same as moisturizers ok?), gives a nice "base" for makeup, I sometimes skip on BB cream application.
- an extra step for lazy bums (but this is very important!)
- this may look a bit oily especially for "oily" individuals out there (please read tips below)
- sensitive skin may take time getting used to having additional products on skin.

Tips
- make sure to apply this with clean hands and fingers
- you can do your hair first after application so this product will be absorbed well before you proceed to your makeup routine.
- do not apply too much, but don't apply too little as well.
- if you have oily skin and find that this looks like you're oiling up, nothing cannot be fixed by a nice setting powder or blot with an oil film
- L'oreal counters do have sales a couple of times year, wait for sales and purchase this at a cheaper amount!
- always apply with gentle hands, never rub products hard onto your skin!
