Hi bunjetto & Ladies,

I have been a long-time user of the original SPF 40. I use it every day. When the TSV was presented I realized that I would, in fact, need more of the SPF soon, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to buy. I really did not quite believe (that's not the right word) all the mixed reviews from some early users of this. But I am a bit disappointed with it. It seems more like a true sunblock now, a bit thicker and harder to apply. I also have to be really careful about applying it and making sure it's all rubbed in or I do, indeed, have the dreaded white cast.

I do love the Light Argan Oil and I really love the color stick. But the big reason I got this was b/c of the new SPF. I am still playing around with the SPF 47 and I'll see how things go.

Thank you for your responses. I will continue to work with it and see how I like it. Thought I was doing something wrong until I read glmama's post.

No thought is worth thinking.....

I really like the color stick too. It's funny because most reviews say they don't like the color stick, but I do! The Light Argan oil is nice too. Just not loving the thick texture of the SPF.

I like the color stick too HOWEVER - since it has mango, it made me break out.

Watch out if you have mango allergies.

Got the spf 47 from her site with 10% off. I like it alot. I use it on my chest...1 pump is enough and spreads easily.

Sephora has a deluxe sample size of this for one of their promo codes and so I got it and tried it out. To me, it is NOT at all thick or difficult to spread, in fact it is kind of a serum like consistency. I like this one much better than the original- no funky chemical scent, no irritation whatsoever. I know it doesn't have as nice of ingredients as the original but it definitely works better for my skin.
