- Hey NaturallyCurly World!
- I'm Nikki.
- And I'm Evelyn.
- And there has been a lot of talk about sunscreen
lately.
- And how they don't make you ashy or so they
say.
- So what's your ash color?
- (laughs)
- Are you like, blue or purple?
- Um, I'm blue. I'm that ashen blue.
- I look like, you know the Gross Sisters on
Proud Family?
- Yeah!
- That's me.
- Are you purple? I've never seen purple ash.
- I'm a little purple. It's more of like, a lavender color (laughs),
like a lilac.
- So we have a bunch of sunscreens that we're
gonna try out for you.
- Some of them are lower, more affordable.
- Some of them are, you know, you gotta pawn
a kidney or two to afford.
- We're not beauty gurus, so we bought these.
- So the first sunscreen we're gonna try is
the Banana Boat Sun Comfort SPF 30.
- This is a chemical sunscreen.
- What is it? Avobenzene...
- Homosalate.
And...oxycontin.
(laughs)
So chemical sunscreens are like, they use
chemicals, right?
They break down over time and cause sun damage
if you don't reapply them.
This is not bad.
- You have to reapply every sunscreen, but
you have to reapply chemical ones more often.
- Okay.
- I feel great.
It says it's lightweight but I do feel like
it's on my face.
- Yeah, I look like some chicken.
- But we're not ashy.
So, Banana Boat?
- On a scale from Invisible Shield to Ashy
Larry, I give it about a 3.
- Okay.
- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunscreen.
Also SPF 30.
I don't even know if that's the recommended
amount of sunscreen, but.
- Watch some like, dermatologist be in the
comments like "Actually, you're supposed to
have like three tablespoons for your face!"
(laughs)
- Okay, this one's a little thicker.
- I do not feel like this is gon' be invisible.
- I'm not ashy...?
Or am I?
- I don't feel like you're ashy...?
- It goes on like it's gonna be ashy, but
then it disappears.
- Yeah, I think it's whatever makes it "Dry
Touch"?
- Yeah.
- I think this is the same as Banana Boat.
- Really?
- It just has a different scent.
- I feel like this is Banana Boat.
- I wish sunscreen didn't make you look so greasy.
- I give it a four.
- Really?
- This one's called COOLA.
It's the mineral sunscreen in the scent Cucumber.
- So mineral sunscreen means it's like, um,
zinc. Right?
- Yes.
- It is titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
- It's a physical sunscreen, so it provides
a physical barrier to the sun.
Kinda like puttin' mud on your face.
- Oooh, it's very thick!
Oh my goodness!
(laughs)
- Look at it.
- I'm already getting my lilac color.
(laughs)
- I am already getting it.
(laughs)
- The texture is like...it dissolves into
powder.
- It's like a primer.
- Oh boy!
- Are you getting this?
Are you getting this?
- Oh wow.
- And now it's like you have a --
- (laughs) A mask!
You have a mask!
- A mask of sunscreen!
- It's Ashy Larry.
It's a zero out of five.
- Where do you get this though?
Like, this seems like it's --
- I got this at ULTA.
- To look like a ghost?!
(laughs)
- So up next, we have another sunscreen by
COOLA.
It is their classic sunscreen unscented moisturizer.
SPF 30.
But this time instead of mineral, it's chemical.
- Ahh.
- So maybe it'll be better.
- Mmmm!
- I'm liking it.
- Gotta get the neck, you know what I'm saying!
- Yo face 30, but yo neck 75! (laughs)
- Okay! I like this.
It's a little-- it's a little greasy.
- Shiny, but not at all ashy.
- I'm gonna give this a four.
But it's made with certified organic ingredients,
so.
- Oh!
How you get organic avobenzene?!
- Unsun.
It's a mineral tinted broad spectrum face
sunscreen SPF 30 for all skin types.
- Mmm...okay.
Whenever things say "tinted", I'm like "It's
not gonna work, 'cause you don't know my tint.
So...."
- This tint looks like it's my color, not
yours so let's just see.
- That is a strong beige.
- It looks like clay.
This is very thick and it's beige.
- It's gonna look great.
Already I can tell.
(laughs)
- You know, it's not my color beige either.
So...
- This look like a bentonite clay mask.
- Oh no!
Oh no, y'all!
- I'm feeling discouraged!
- OH MY GOD! (laughs)
- So thick!!
- I don't know...Like the amount of skin contact you gotta have to blend this in is -- this has got to
cause acne, right?!
- No.
No!!
- So this gets a one and a half to two...
- Ashy Larrys?
- A one.
It gets a one from me.
- This gets a smooth half.
- Onto the next one.
Glossier, which is what's been making the
rounds on Instagram.
It's a gel.
- I feel like Glossier makes makeup for people
who don't need makeup.
- Facts.
- Makeup for people with perfect skin.
- Oooh!
I'm encouraged by this!!
- It smells like aloe or like, rose or something?
- Mmhm.
- Yeah, it's kinda like a serum, really.
- I feel like this...?
- I feel regal.
- I give this a five out of five.
- I love it. I give it a five out of five too.
- Will you give it a five out of five knowing
that it's like, $35?
- I do not give it a five out of five knowing
it's $35.
My God - what?!
- Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad
Spectrum SPF 30.
- And it's like $65.
But you know, it says it treats, blurs, and
protects.
- I better be able to fly into the sun for
$65.
- Oooh! I like!
- This is completely clear, whereas the Glossier
sunscreen was kind of like (motions).
- It has like a primer kinda feel to it.
- (gasps) Ooh.
Ooh!
- I really like.
I don't want to like.
- Don't tell me I like this!
- (chuckles) It's so good.
- This is amazing!
- We too broke to have these tastes!
- My face is 100% like, not greasy ---
(laughs) Give 'em shoulder!
Give 'em shoulder!
- Remember the texture of this?
- Mmhm!
- How this was like "Whoa! It's like a primer!"
- But it made us ashy, like donut dust ash.
- Then this was like "Ooh the consistency is
like -- it's clear!
"It's a gel!"
This is both of those positive qualities in
one $60-ish container.
- Ten out of five.
- God, I give it a 10 out of five too!
- For performance?!
Ten out of five.
- This must be what Beyonce feels like.
- Oh yeah! Well, Blue Ivy.
- Beyonce just has protection from the sun.
- The just goes ohhh--
- The sun is like, within her so you can't
protect yourself from yourself.
- Yeah! Exactly. Right.
- I'm sorry, y'all.
I'm sorry.
- The difference between this and this?
Drastic.
- So to recap: my favorite on the affordable
side.
As far as accessibility, I would give it to
the Neutrogena.
It is kind of greasy, but you can get it everywhere.
Grocery stores.
My favorite high end -- Murad.
"Myurad?"
Mur-AD?
- (Southern accent) Being a rich woman.
You know.
- Being a lavish -- the lavish lifestyle that
you live.
- Yes.
A woman set aside.
(laughs)
- This is it. This is amazing!
- We hope this was helpful!
And you could see which ones worked as far as
ash, and which ones didn't.
