I’ve never owned a stick sunscreen before, so I decided to give this one a try — and I have to say, I really love the size and packaging. It’s super travel-friendly and purse-friendly, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Honestly, there’s no excuse not to wear sunscreen when it’s this convenient compared to traditional full-size bottles.
As someone with acne-prone skin, I went with the sensitive version, and so far, it’s been living up to its claims — no breakouts at all, which is a big win.
Now let’s talk about how it applies. As a Black girl, I always look for Black-friendly sunscreens — meaning no white cast or residue. When you first apply it, it goes on white, which is expected, but the doubt starts to creep in as you rub it in. The texture is actually pretty smooth and easy to apply, but unfortunately, it does leave a slight white cast. After a good minute of rubbing it in, it looks better, but there’s still a subtle ashy finish that’s a turn-off for me when I’m trying to find a great sunscreen.
That said, I do appreciate the matte finish — it keeps the skin from getting too oily and leaves a nice, balanced look.
Now for the price... at around $15 for such a miniature size, it’s honestly a bit much. Not going to lie — it doesn’t feel worth the amount of product you're getting, especially when there are larger or more inclusive options out there at similar price points.
Overall, I love the concept, the skin-friendly formula, and how convenient it is — but I wish it had a more inclusive finish and a better value for the price.

As someone who grew up loving vanilla and chocolate ice cream but always avoided the strawberry in Neapolitan; I have to say, I’m officially a fan of this Frosty Neapolitan ice cream bar!
The fact that all the flavors are blended together on a stick and coated with different layers makes it such a fun and tasty experience. It really gives you the chance to enjoy all the flavors equally, and I honestly can’t believe I used to leave the strawberry behind.
This ice cream tastes great, and with summer coming up, it's the perfect treat. The portion size is also pretty reasonable for the price, which is a nice bonus.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I personally prefer ice cream in a cone — and this one melts a bit quickly, so it can get messy on the fingers.
Other than that, they did an amazing job with this ice cream , and I’d definitely repurchase it again!

I have bought their acne face cleanser and for someone that has mild acne prone skin this really helped and when I found that they came out with patches. I had to buy and try it out. They really do what they said they are meant to do. Of course not over night but with a few wears after a week the results start kicking in. My only issue is the price . Kinda in the pricey side .
