That and more in The Lipstick League, week of 6.6.16
Question of the Week: How do you protect your face from the sun? Do you use a moisturizer or foundation with SPF, or do you use a separate sunscreen for facial sun protection?
Answer: Unless I’m spending prolonged time in the sun, I only wear SPF in whatever tint I’m wearing on my skin. Right now, I’m obsessed with La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream ($38.99) which has an SPF 30 and visibly reduces Rosacea. But man, I wish it was as inexpensive as a plain ol’ sunscreen!
Here’s the best of the League for this past week…
Prime Beauty – goes on a makeup play date at Sephora and reviews their new PLAY subscription box.
we heart this – We’ve got a way to get $50 off a $75 beauty order, and free shipping to boot. Nope, not a typo! And GOOD brands too; Lipstick Queen, Fekkai, Deborah Lippmann and more.
Beautygeeks – This new drugstore nail polish formula is insane, and the brush is pretty swell, too, which rarely happens at this level. See our ManiGeek’s swatches and review here.
Beauty Junkies Unite – Amber shows you how the new Customizable Click Stick collection from Cover FX works!
Blushing Noir – Two of the most perfect picks for long-lasting Summer makeup are right here!
EauMG – My May Empties were all about Korean skincare (especially TonyMoly), rich moisturizers and smelling like a rich hippie.
Gouldylox – I didn’t think I needed another palette…but the cool tones in this one totally sold me.
My Beauty Bunny – Cruelty free, natural ingredients, drugstore priced, and suitable for ALL skin types? It’s true! See why we are in love with Burt’s Bees Cleansing Oil.
Nouveau Cheap – This Sinful Colors nail polish has quite possibly my favorite name of all time. But it’s also a fun color, and a portion of proceeds go to an extreme important cause.
Olive & Ivy – I’ve used Benefit products for years now and have finally narrowed down the best of Benefit– these are MUST haves!
Phyrra – I’m impressed with the new Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette! See my live swatches, review and looks.

we heartsters, How do YOU protect your face from the sun?
I’m the same way, Stef. A lot of my skincare and foundation products have SPF, but when I know I’m going to be in the sun for a bit, I go straight to the pure suncreen.
Unless I’m in the blazing Hawaiian sun, I settle for the SPF in my tinted moisturizer. It’s worked out ok for me so far.
