I know I go on and on about my favorite Shiseido sunscreen - Shiseido SPF 55 Sun Protection Cream, and now you have a chance to get it free. This week you can get a free deluxe sample of the sunscreen if you order something through Sephora.com and enter SUNCREAM at checkout. I’m not sure how long this promo will last, since it’s while supplies last.
The full-size sunscreen is 2 ounces, and the deluxe sample is .08 ounces, so that’s a pretty generous sample. Now I just have to figure out what to buy!!! Also, Sephora is doing free shipping for orders over $50. They are also giving away tons of samples (like always) when you go to checkout. I have three free samples, plus a deluxe sample of a Philosophy body wash, plus the free Shiseido sample in my shopping cart right now.
Shop Sephora and get the “Best of Sephora” Sunscreen free!

Hi Jeni,
I’m a sunscreen junkie like you and I was wondering if you ever heard of or tried Epicuren. It has 17% micronized Zinc Oxide. Let me know what your thoughts are. I checked out the ingredients and they seem to be non pore-clogging - unless I’m missing something. There is also a mineral based SPF 30 sunscreen called Beyond Coastal. Have you tried that?
Thanks again…

Yay! thank you for this code! I was making an order in order to get the free gift for my birthday, and I used the code you posted here. I’m looking forward to trying out this sunscreen!

What do you think about Elta MD UV Shield SPF 45?? or the other sunscreens from this line?

M,
I looked up that sunscreen and it looks pretty good, but I still think the Shiseido is better because it contains a higher percentage of zinc oxide. Also, the Elta sunscreen has major pore cloggers, so it would not be good at all for acne-prone skin. But if you aren’t acne-prone, it’s definitely better than most drugstore sunscreens (although it’s price is high, so it’s not much cheaper than Shiseido).

Jrzygrl,
I looked for that Epicuren sunscreen, but only see one that is SPF 20. Otherwise, the ingredients look good. I’m not sure why it’s only an SPF of 20 if it has 17% zinc oxide. The ingredients look good, and it has antioxidants in it.
I looked at the Beyond Coastal sunscreen, but couldn’t find the exact ingredients. The fact that it’s zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is good.

I have a phototoxic reaction to this that looked almost like a sunburn. Too bad because it looked good under makeup.
