Where have you been all my life??

Huh, Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protection Cream For Face SPF 55 PA+++? Where were you all those years I battled shine with paper towel masks and extra layers of loose powder (neither of which really helped)? But, that is all behind me. You know, until they change the formula, or discontinue this line. In the meantime, I'm totally loving this sunblock! It is not shiny at all, I can wear it without any powder, which is a first in my long history of using sunscreens. They have rarely suited me 100%, so I'd pretty much given up on finding anything that would make my skin look good. This does--it is more like a primer than a sunscreen, which is what I've longed for--a good SPF rating, but served as a makeup base. It is whitish, but I'm Morticia pale, so that is a good thing. No breakouts, no pilling, no yucky fragrance, no itchy skin, no teary eyes. It is a lot more expensive than my drugstore sunblocks, but so worth it.
