Shiseido Ultra Sun Protection Cream - Best Sunscreen of all times!

I think I can honestly say that I am in love and have found my sunscreen soulmate for life - Shiseido Ultra Sun Protection Cream in SPF 50. I discovered this sunscreen over 2 years ago and it was a combination of impulse buy and my desire to be responsible adult female who wears sunscreen on a daily basis. As you probably already know sun is the biggest culprit when it comes to aging and wrinkles so sunscreen is essential if you want to be youthful and fabulous.
It is extremely comfortable sunscreen to wear. It subtly mattifies skin, once applied you don't feel it on your skin, it is weightless. It is great over moisturizer or on it's own on a hot humid day. If you wear makeup it is a great primer as well. It smells wonderful (fresh type of scent) and does not leave any white cast unlike majority of sunscreens on the market. Most importantly it is very water resistant. Active ingredients are Zinc Oxide and Octinoxate.
Since I was so impressed with the face sunscreen I tried Shiseido sun protection eye cream and it is excellent. Moisturizing, great under makeup and it gives a very nice subtle highlight under your eyes that makes you look more rested and awake!
 I have also tried Shiseido sun protection lotion and I am very impressed with it. as well It is more liquid formula that wears as comfortably as the cream. Overall, in my humble opinion Shiseido has the best sunscreen for face. It is on a pricier side $48, however, for a great product price tag is not unreasonably high.
Before I found my true love Shiseido, my every attempt in choosing lifelong sunscreen partner ended in a fiasco. As the result for the longest time I never wore sunscreen.
I have tried to wear  Lavanila and it made my face look like I dipped it into a tub of oil and it broke me out as a bonus, I  returned it and never looked back.
I tried Lancome, it felt ok when first applied but turned oily and uncomfortable after couple of hours of wear. I tried La Roche Posay ultra sheer sunscreen for several months but wearing it on my face was a  pure torture. I had to give myself half an hour inspirational speech every day just to put it on. It made my oily skin excessively oily, it smelled pretty bad and irritated my skin.
If you are in search for a good sun screen give Shiseido a try and let me know how you like it!
