So this Labor Day weekend was my first (well, my first with actual plans) in sunny Los Angeles. In fact, it’s now officially been ONE YEAR since I moved to the gold coast and believe me, I’m still in shock. It’s funny to think back to a year ago and remember that terrified feeling I had about being in a completely new environment knowing only a few people with no real certainty of what would happen. And now, well…I guess crazy and fate are two words that come to mind.
After a crazy Friday at Raging Waters, Sydne had friends over for a Saturday pool party where the hit of the party was undoubtedly Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion SPF 38 PA++ for Face and Body. I had been sent this sunblock awhile back and decided to give it a try…and omg, I’m obsessed. We all sat around the pool sipping sangria and I couldn’t shut up about how good the sunblock smelled and how soft and silky it was when I applied it. It got to the point where everyone was like “ok, well we have to try this stuff too if it’s so amazing.” The verdict? Even the BOYS were impressed. One particularly impressed guy at the party, Andy, said how he liked that it was smooth like a lotion but almost had the consistency of an oil. Not kidding. He actually said that and I think he’s been secretly moonlighting as a beauty editor.
Friends aside, the product is, as its name says, “extra smooth” and is formulated with rose apple leaf extract, which delivers an excellent boost of antioxidants…plus it’s sand-proof, sweat-proof and water-resistant.
