Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the record, I did not buy this for it's makeup setting properties. I was looking for a facial mist with spf to reapply all day for sun protection. I live in CA and it is basically always sunny (I know, torture). But I sunburn simply upon walking out of the house, so I need constant application all day. I hate the texture of sunscreen, hate putting it on, and didn't want to mess up the little make up I wear each day (BB cream, mascara). So I bought this only for the spf protection. I tried the COOLA Organic Suncare, Green Tea and Aloe Makeup Setting Spray, SPF 30 and the only other facial spray I could find, which was the Supergoop! SPF 50 Defense Refresh Setting Mist Sunscreen. Again, I have no idea if the makeup setting works -- I don't think I wear enough makeup to see a real difference throughout the day. I am not sure if I can really tell you if the spf part works -- I wasn't outside a lot on the times I wore them (about two weeks for each product to give them a chance). But what I can tell you is that if you have oily skin, you will HATE both the Coola and the Supergoop versions of this product. Within an hour my face is an oily mess -- even my 9 year old commented on it. And she's seem me at my very worst and thought it worth noting. And no matter how much you blot it during the day, it just gets oily again. Significantly oily. Now if you have dry skin, maybe this won't be a problem for you. If you have oily skin, save your money. For the Coola, I didn't think the spray was as fine as with the Supergoop, but they both worked well enough. You didn't actually have to rub either product in, just let it dry. As long as you stick to 12 inches from the face at application, it wasn't a problem. With Coola, I didn't have any discomfort. With the Supergoop, I had some itchiness -- not burning like some other people have mentioned, but it lasts all day and basically made me want to wash it off. I didn't, I wanted to see if the oiliness improved, but obviously it doesn't. The point is to be able to reapply as needed, and even if I didn't reapply, my face was still disgustingly oily. Sigh. So I am back to square one. I want an exclusive facial mist with spf, not the goopy body spf sprays that you then have to rub in (and not breathe in). If anyone finds one of these, let me know! :-) I gave both the Coola and Supergoop two stars because the concept is there, but the oil control factor alone would make me want to give it one star.
