hello hello all,

Today we have a sunscreen review and try on and its non other than Ultra Violette! I received the Queen Screen in my SpaceNK beauty advent calendar last year and I’ve finally finished using it

This is a chemical based SPF from the Australian brand that promises a cast free experience and high broad spectrum protection. Its also hydrating and can be used as a primer- with no piling or balling

Experience

I’ve just finished using the product last week, but it lasted quite a bit, I think I started using it in the 2nd or 3rd week of March, after the haru haru airy fit SPF. This SPF is extremely lightweight and fluid and I love sunscreens with this texture.

The sunscreen feels weightless on the skin and leaves the most amazing dewy finish- its almost too dewy but it doesn’t clog pores and comes off easily when washing away at the end of the day. It feels super hydrating as promised, I can get away without a moisturiser with this and it layers very well with other products. It can settle in the lines on my neck when I use too much of it but other than that, it doesn’t pill under makeup.

Is it invisible on dark skin? YES- it blends into the skin well and doesn’t stick to the hairline either. There is no white cast on the skin! LOOK AT MY SKIN. I took these pictures right away application.

Verdict

This is such a beautiful sunscreen! It does have some gold shimmer in it- very subtle, now I didnt like this at first but over time I came round to it because it leaves a beautiful lit from within glow. It’s weightless on the skin and its beautiful under makeup, even powder foundation too. As I said above, whilst I love a dewy finish, this one is almost too dewy lol so I will probably just use this in the winter. In the summer it may come across as sweat lol.

Whilst I love the dropper bottle and the pipette actually works, it can get messy around the bottle neck and its hard to gauge the right amount to use. I use 2 fingers full method to measure out how much is needed but with the pipette and fluid texture it is slightly more difficult to measure. I tend to use a bit more just in case, again there is no heavy feeling on the skin but it can settle on my neck- this doesn’t happen every time. It doesn’t sting my eyes but I don’t tend to take SPF up there too much.

I think the Queen Screen has replaced Fav Fluid as my fav SPF from the brand? or maybe its neck and neck? hm

you can check out this SPF at Sephora

Hey hey, how are you doing? I hope all is well. Today I have a sunscreen demo & review from a brand that is new to me. Last year I discovered more of Ultra Violette, a sunscreen brand based in Australia. I say more of because I had heard of this brand and tried one of their mineral sunscreens ages ago but I didn’t like it because it wasn’t invisible on me. I forgot about this brand until I saw this sunscreen set below.

I thought this was the perfect way to try out the brand again, with travel sizes of thier sunscreens to find one I loved before getting the full size.  This post will be a full review on the very popular fav fluid (green)

What is it
A chemical sunscreen with advanced filters that protect against both UVA & UVB rays. It also has vit E and amino acids for free radical protection & hydration and plumping the skin.

Experience
The product is extremely lightweight and has a light fluid texture. It’s very runny and goes onto the skin with ease. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and I don’t feel it clogging pores.
Is it invisible on dark skin? YES. This blends into the skin with zero white cast

What I really love about this sunscreen is how easy it is to layer on without no piling. I found it very easy to use and it leaves a nice dewy finish and hydrates the skin. It works well under makeup.

Conclusion
We love a good sunscreen over here! A broad spectrum SPF with additional beneficial ingredients, the fav fluid ticks all the boxes. With zero cast on dark skin & and an extremely lightweight texture, this one is so great in the summer and for all skin types & tones.

Ps the other suitable SPFs in this set that are invisible on dark skin

  • Hand & body spf 50 (blue)- a body spf that feels slightly heavy on the skin and has a slight shimmer to it. I liked this and will get the mini size again as handcream in the summer
  • Preen Screen (Spf spray,pink)- now I love a dewy finish but this spray is TOO DEWY. It’s so shiny that it looks like sweat and I didn’t like it . The scent of alcohol in this is strong too. It’s invisible and won’t leave marks on makeup but the shine is too much. I ended up using it indoors at home as an spf. I wont repurchase

Did not enjoy

  • Supreme Screen (yellow one)- I’m not sure if this is supposed to be tinted but it’s heavy on the skin and left a slight cast. I didn’t enjoy using this.
  • Sheen Screen in Bejewelled- lovely subtle tint on the lips. Love the sun protection but the taste of this is so horrible. I didn’t like this so I stopped using it. I need to take my lip spf more seriously this year
  • Clean Screen (green)- do not attempt to use this is dark skinned lol- its not suitable and leaves a cast
  • Lean Screen (purple)- This is the one I had used previously. Its a mineral SPF which leaves a slight cast on the skin. It’s not the worst I’ve ever had but not 100% cast free

Based on the trial of all the SPFs, the 2 I would buy again are the hand & body and fav fluid as I enjoyed these the most. The rest of them I wont bother with. I actually got the Queen Screen SPF 50+ Luminising Serum in the SpaceNK advent calendar and I’m looking forward to this one! I watched a few videos on this and it is cast free on dark skin.

if you want to try the mini SPF gift set and the many others from the brand, they are available on Spacenk. They have lots of different sets so I’m sure you will find something suitable!

hope this was helpful
