Used Abused & Reviewed: L'oreal UV PERFECT Longlasting UV Protector

Hey guys! :) It's been awhile since my last product review. For this post, I'm going to share one of my fave sunscreens last summer. It's the  L'oreal UV PERFECT Longlasting UV Protector. (Man, why do these things have long names?) :D I'm still using this sunscreen  actually. You know how unpredictable the weather is here in Philippines It's still freaking hot! Seems like summer is not yet over. But some days, it could be a little rainy, a little cold which is very relaxing especially when you're at home. But when you're outside, oh boy it's not your lucky day! ;D

 If you've missed my first fave sunscreen review, you can read it HERE. 

I got this sunscreen from my March BDJ Box. The box featured L'oreal products and luckily I got this baby for the first time! Let's get to know this product, shall we?

BDJ's description:

A New Era of UV Protection!

This UV Perfect 12H longlasting sunscreen is tailor made for Asian women whose skin is always exposed to UV rays and other atmospheric pollution.  Shield your skin with a longlasting UV protector that has antioxidants to help fight against brown spots, skin darkening and aging!

I got Perfect Even Complexion. 3 other shades are: UV Perfect Anti-Dullness, UV Perfect Matte and UV Perfect Moisture Fresh.

I have always been a fan of L'oreal because they have good quality products with reasonable prices. So you can imagine my joy when I received a box full of L'oreal products. ahh! It feels like a reward to myself! I thank BDJ for that. ;)

*Warning: This is a pic heavy post. You can skip to my "verdict"(at the end part) if you want to.

Alright, below are the pics and swatches of the product. :) 

 Product packaging:

The product comes in a very slim tube that's easy to carry around. The whole tube is in white color with a little shimmer in closer look and the texts are in black,blue and gold colors. The cap comes off easily and snaps back in tight.

Its nozzle is new to me but it is smartly designed as it prevents content spilling and it dispenses right amount of product. The overall packaging is very sturdy and travel-friendly.

UV Protection properties:

Manufacturing date

At the back of the tube, bottom part, you can find the manufacturing date. I didn't see any expiration date but base on its MD (year 2012), the product is still new and will last a long time.

Usage:

Ingredients:

Swatch:

This is the amount of  the sunscreen in one squeeze. This sunscreen comes in tinted shade which blends easily on skin and doesn't give you that white cast effect on flash photography. But then again, who uses flash photography in the middle of the day?

I'm telling you guys, a little goes a long way.

And voila! A healthy glowing skin! Feels like you haven't applied any sunscreen at all. It feels really light on face but you know that you're protected from the sun with its SPF50,UVB,UVA and PA+++ properties. It's not greasy nor itchy and the consistency is light & creamy. ^_^

My VERDICT:

Pros

Has SPF 50 UVB,UVA & PA+++
Comes in tinted shade which can be used as makeup base
Light and creamy consistency
Not greasy nor itchy
Non-irritating and doesn't break me out
A little goes a long  way
Easy to apply and glides on smoothly
Has no bad smell
Gives you a healthy glowing skin
Easy to carry around with very slim packaging
Affordable price

Cons

The glowing/dewy effect can make your skin look oily so you must set it with powder

How much?

30ml - Php545

Do I recommend it?

I absolutely recommend this! I love this so much that I've been using and abusing this since summer!

Repurchase?

Yes yes yes! As mentioned above, a little goes a long way which is very convenient as I can enjoy this 30ml product for a long time. :)

Where to buy?

This sunscreen is already available in your local drugstore and supermarkets nationwide. If this is not available in your area, you can ask L'oreal team on their Facebook page or official website. I will provide the links below.

Final thoughts:
