I'm obsessed with their powder sunscreen.

I agree. It's kind of pricey, but it looks so great on skin or as a finishing powder over other makeup. I'm going on vacation, and it will be someplace tropical, so I'll need a LOT of sunscreen. I LOVE that I can throw this in my bag and just brush it on my face and neck without needing a mirror and anything, and I know it will not only look great, but provide me with excellent sun protection. I highly recommend it. I haven't tried their other products, but might pick up an item or two during this sale. I'd like to try a lip or eye product. I'd love any recs from other beauties on the board!

Code was on the site when you click into the brand. Great savings. Beat even the best price on Amazon.

Thanks, @FUTURE

I'm a long time fan of that stuff. Have never found an imitator nearly as good. Was glad to have one stashed in my car yesterday morning. It was cool enough to have the top down and I didn't have sunscreen on the tops of my hands.

I brush it on just before getting in the car to drive home from work. The sun is still quite strong even that late in the day and anything I applied earlier is long gone.

Agreed! I've been using it for probably 10 years now. I used PTR's in the past (not even sure he still makes it?) but the Colorscience is definitely better. I apply it all throughout the day since I can't reapply my normal sunscreen over my makeup.

@HappyDaze. You read between my lines, didn't ya? Eek, that PTR was just awful. Got stuck in the brush and was useless.

@BellaCarro lol I had a sneaking suspicion that is what you were referring to. ;o)

Also, do any stores carry it? I'd like to try it and get color matched before buying.

Here you go! In my area, it is mainly small boutiques or spas, but hopefully this will help, RachB.

As for BM, it's different, IMO. They have products housed in tubes with a brush attached to the end, and you just turn up the brush and apply. Super easy and convenient. I'm not sure if BM has any product similar to that or not, but I love the Colorescience ones!

Just an FYI: The company site is also having a 30 percent off sale -- free shipping AND free returns. Lovely skin does not have free returns.

ETA: So FUTURE, the apparently nitpicky OP of this thread, posted that on the company's site, you have to spend at least $100 to get the discount.

My bad.

Thanks! I adore their illuminating powder compact (ZERO GLITTER) and their bronzing illumination in compact (ZERO GLITTER). The products are exceptional. Higher then many brands but worth is they look so pretty and natural on my skin and the product for me lasts forever. TY off to see this sale! it's a fab line and not that's much talked about...glad you posted this @suzyQ3 ty.

Note: the SPF powders in general are really not effective in studies, it has to be packed on skin at 1/4inch for it to protect ..but if it makes people feel good that's fine. I think it's better then nothing and may help some if a good stable SS in on one's skin already.

Quick note: on the company site, mine says the 30% off is for orders over $100, which is not hard to do, but if one were purchasing only one or maybe two items, they might not reach that amount. Just a heads up!

The Sunforgettable has become my HG. My summer make-up is currently BM's Prep Step, Perricome MD No Bronzer Bronzer & No Blush Blush, then Sunforgettable.

Oh, it's no "bad" at all!! For those that want to try things but haven't used the brand before, the free returns option on the Colorescience site is a great incentive, IMO!! I just didn't want someone freaking out on you for not telling them about the $100 minimum - you know how people can get sometimes.......lol!!!!!
