Glad that my swatches will help you to make a decision @Titian06.

[Sunnysmom]

These shades are definitely made for you @Loretta55 ! 😍

[Loretta55]

I have to agree with you @Sunnysmom. I am very happy with this purchase.

I was curious about this set @Loretta55! the shades are gorgeous in your swatches - thank you! 😍

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @itsfi. The shades are gorgeous.

Quick post because I canNOT believe I finally found this sunscreen at one of my local Trader Joe's. I gave up checking for it months ago. 😂 Now I'll finally get to test this far less expensive Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen dupe myself! 

I bought 2 and pulled 1 out of its box for this photo.

The jojoba oil is for mixing with 100% rosehip oil to use on my hands and nails. Since e.l.f. has officially discontinued their Nourishing Facial Oil, I might as well make my own blend. Though, I do like their All The Feels Facial Oil which is very similar to their discontinued oil. (The new one contains hemp seed oil instead of avocado oil.)

Yaaaaaaay!! Hope it works out for you @WinglessOne 

[Loretta55]

Congratulations on finding your unicorn @WinglessOne.

@WinglessOne I haven't tried it, let us know what you think of it.  

[Sunnysmom]

I’ve not tried this @WinglessOne tho it looks like I prob never will if it’s so tough to find! 😆 Good to know it’s one of your favorite dupes for Supergoop! 😊

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  You might have an easier time finding it than I did. I know it kept selling out quickly in some cities and states, but maybe now that the try-it hype's died down a bit, folks will be able to get their hands on it. I can't call it one of my favorites yet because I haven't actually tested it on myself. 🙂 Jury's still out. But I've been recommending it to people anyway as a cost-saving option because sunscreen in general is hecking expensive for a product we're supposed to use daily and reapply throughout the day. Hope you're able to find it if you wanna try it out! I also hope TJ's doesn't discontinue it like they do so many of their other products. 

[Sunnysmom]

Will see @WinglessOne . I have my others to use up so I will be waiting a bit more before I would try it out. But will be good to hear your thoughts. So true about the cost saving!

@WinglessOne I'll be curious to hear your opinion on it; I feel like most people who like the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ feel like this is a pretty good dupe.

[JoSometimes]

Nice haul! You guys get some pretty cool things down in the states @WinglessOne!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @JoSometimes ! I wish we (and Canada) could have the super cool things like newer UV filters, so we could stop relying on photo-unstable avobenzone and white-casty zinc oxide for UVA protection. If only the FDA wasn't so stubborn. 

[curlychiquita]

Great find, @WinglessOne! 

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @curlychiquita ! 

[Mellmars1185]

@WinglessOne Nice Trader Joe's haul. It is nice you finally were able to find what you were looking for!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @Mellmars1185 !

@WinglessOne TJs must be having supply chain issues.  Glad you found the TJs sunscreen.  I know my TJs has had good stock of them lately.

[WinglessOne]

@SportyGirly125  When this sunscreen first launched, I searched for it at 3 of my local TJ's (we have locations within city limits) and never saw it on shelves. Never even saw empty space on shelves where it might've been, had it quickly sold out. So, I'm convinced Chicago never got this sunscreen, unless it went to any of the other 3 locations. That sucks. BUT we have it now, hooray! 

TJ's has been having supply chain issues though, or whatever's the true cause of low stock. Seeing nearly bare shelves reminded me of foraging for food and toilet paper in 2020. For a while this year, our TJ's had trouble keeping produce in stock. And they were always out of my beloved Brownie Crisp Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches. So when I saw those back in stock on my last run, I bought more boxes than I should've. I figured I should balance the mandatory sunscreen with something irresponsible. 🤣 Anyway, glad your TJ's has had that sunscreen in stock!
