I bought a little sample of this orb of SPF sun protectant in a little orb shape filled with mineral powder. It was a sunscreen in the form of a powder. I was very intrigued mainly because it was different. WOW a powder form of sun protection, how cool is that! I am glad I bought this little orb mainly because it was only 3 dollars on sale at this spa that I attend. I have put up a picture of the actual size orb, the 3 dollar one I purchased is very very tiny you can put it in the palm of your hand and it will disappear, it is a travel size. This is a mineral powder with SPF 30. I tried it 2 times along with the puff it came with. It is hard to apply for the little travel size puff and I do not like the fact that it is like that old talcom powder application. you have to shake out a lot and then put it on a brush to apply, like loose powder. I always use a brush to apply even my pressed powder, not a big fan of loose powder, simply because it gets too messy. I suggest if you try this product to use your normal powder brush to apply. This is a mineral powder which means it has no preservatives, fragrances, or chemicals added in. It is like using make up from the Cleopatra days using molten rocks and such. Mineral make up also does not have much coverage, so I am not really sure what it is for. I guess it is for the more natural make up look without it entering into your pores. I think i will give this product a try after reading about mineral make up. I always thought it made me break out but since it is all natural and so pressed that it can not enter your pores and great for sensitive skin users, I should give this another try. This powder however needs to be applied every two hours, so I have a feeling the SPF factor is good only up to 2 hours. Maybe this would be a great product to use when you are laying out at the pool or beach since it does have the SPF 30 and a light coverage. I am indifferent about it because the one I got was so small and the brush that comes with it needs to be thrown out immediately. The thing is way too tiny and the brush is a bit rough, it reminded me cat fur instead of rabbit fur. Also, the actual size orb is $40 dollars and for that price, it is not worth it. However, it does lead me to wonder about mineral make up?...any good tips?
