Hi guys!! Finally back with another review. This review is not sponsored in any way, I bought this sunscreen myself after searching for a more affordable face sunscreen that has a good amount of SPF, works under makeup and wont make my makeup look hecka dewy. 

This review will be short and to-the-point.

Todays review is the Biore Sara Sara Perfect Face Milk Sunscreen, I purchased this on Amazon here. Notice that mine doesn't say "perfect" on the container, which may be due to it being the newer edition of the packaging. You can purchase a listing with the more recent packaging here (no prime) on amazon for ease of mind. But I do advise to always shop at your own risk!

 Sunscreen is crucial when you go out, even for a little bit! It helps protect your skin from damaging rays from the sun that can cause premature aging, wrinkles, sun spots and various other damages to the skin. Its good to start wearing sunscreen as soon as you can as a preventive for premature aging and the things I mentioned earlier. I won't go too deep into sunscreens, since the main topic of this post is the review so if you would like to know more about sunscreens and their benefits and importance, feel free to check out this site! 

Now onto the review! 

I just want to note that the amount of product is just a close estimate.


The Mercier bottle is about 6 Inches tall and is 50 ml /1.7 Fl oz

Comes with a nozzle.

The product itself:

The product is super runny and honestly smells like alcohol.

As you can see, the blended area looks almost blurred out, and this was not due to my camera! It's pretty neat.
When you first rub and apply it looks a bit shiny/oily, however shortly after it drys (?) to a matte finish. It feels almost velvety which is really nice.

• No oily or greasy feeling
• Matte Finish
• 50 SPF
• Very smooth when applying on the skin, best description would be velvety

• SUPER SMALL BOTTLE, I'm sure they don't cost as much in Japan but wow the container is ridiculously small for the price. Maybe I'm just use to bigger size containers
• SMELLS LIKE ALCOHOL. At first the smell reminded me of sharpie but then I read that this product actually contains small traces of alcohol (I assume its for the matte finish?).
• DRYING. This isn't evident the first use and if you're going to put makeup over it, at least it wasn't noticeable at first for me and my skin is fairly dry. It is horrible by itself, one time I woke up late and had to rush out of the house so I just applied this sunscreen (since its matte and 50 spf) and just a few minutes out the house and in my car I looked in the rearview mirror to check how the sunscreen is and it was sooo drying. I saw flakes all over around my nose and mouth area that I didn't even know I had!! While I am looking for face sunscreen/under makeup sunscreen that won't make my face too dewy, this just made it tooo dry.

• Its runny! Reminds me of milk so it lives up to its name haha.
• Expensive online, but probably cheaper in Japan!

Haven't been using this for a while, which I think says a lot. I think the alcohol ingredient made my skin dryer and my skin is already dry so no thanks haha.  I do love the other qualities about it such as it drys matte and applies fairly smoothly. But, overall I don't think I'll be using this again. For now, I'll be sticking to my Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer and my Laura Mercier Sunscreen pictured earlier in this post (although it is also a bit too oily/dewy for my liking). There is still another sunscreen I want to try from Biore Japan, which is the Aqua(?). It's a water based version and hopefully it'll work better than this one!

Also, if you like some of the pixel animals in this post, you can grab them from here! 

It's that time of the month again... for gift giving ideas! For this time around its for Valentines!  Remember that Valentines day can be celebrated however you choose, and that it doesn't always mean its a day specifically for couples. 

• Lush Bathbomb in Tisty Tosty
• Lush Bathbomb in Sex Bomb
• Too Faced "Love Hangover" Love Flush Blush
• Too Faced "Justify My Love" Love Flush Blush
• Shiba Inu Mug
• Soy Wax Candle

These are my personal picks! I find each and everyone of these super cute and would want myself *_* I actually bought the candle! What inclined me to purchase a bread scented candle was not only because of my love for both bread and for candles but because one day I came home from a day out and my room smelled like fresh warm bread that came out of the oven or something (like how you would imagine a nice bakery to smell like). After that I was determined to buy an actual bread scented candle LOL.

Too Faced is amazing and have a dozen of cute and quality items to choose from. I own a couple of their blushes and I looove them.

You can also never go wrong with a shiba inu or bathbombs! I've used the sex bomb bath bomb before and the smell is absolutely lovely, it's one of my faves!!

I posted this early just incase anyone would be interested in purchasing the shiba inu mug, since its handmade I'd like to provide some time to make the purchase and have the seller craft the product! (That is if it's not ready to ship). Hopefully this post is early enough.

Hope these will help anyone who doesn't know what to gift their significant other, friend or their loved ones (or maybe even vice versa!) Or for yourself!
