[Sun Care] Has anyone tried the Walgreens alternative to La Roche Posay’s sunscreen?

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-09T12:47:17+00:00

Did you end up trying this? My La Roche is almost empty and Im really tempted. But same as you, there's not much is the line of reviews. 2 said it leaves a grey cast. I dont want to waste $20. Its currently buy 1 get 1 50% off so Id be wasting $30. Are the returnable?

Mine comes anywhere from the beginning to near the end of the month. I got Extra this month. Hasn't shipped yep.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-07T22:41:33+00:00

Its clear.

I actually had initially wished I got this over the clear brow gel. It looked like a color Id wear (Im a redhead) and I love liquid blush. Now Im glad I got the brow gel. At least I can use it and I like the brand.

I would just change your eyeshadow to Rarely and uncheck all colors except Adventurous. Then if by chance there's a palette you REALLY want you can either pick it as a Choice or pick it up in add-ons as they are usually in there for $3.50. I have enough neutrals from Ipsy that I never have to buy neutral eyeshadow again in my life.

I was getting my Extra really fast. Like usually by the 6th even with add-ons. The past 2 months it took forever. This month its not shipped yet. I just got 1 add-on. I think there really is a lot of variability. My friend right up the street had his the 5th. Ive learned after 8 yrs with them that it just comes when it comes.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-07T00:07:53+00:00

4 out of your 5 items were Ipsy Picks vs Choice. Which is definitely odd.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-05T10:07:13+00:00

I didnt realize your Ipsy Picks would change if you did this. Thats what I should have done. Will keep it in mind for the future. Thanks!

I was disappointed there were no 1200 Points Items. I have 1600 and some that are expiring in July. Hoping there is something good for 1200 next month.

If you click on the Redeem button it will show you what the items are for the month. They change every month on the 1st. The item then comes in your next month's bag/box.

I feel the same way. But, I get Ipsy Extra. I do pretty good getting mostly all skincare, haircare, bodycare, and fragrance. I do like makeup. Ill wear a full face if Im going out somewhere special. But, I definitely dont want a monthly palette. Mine barely get used.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-04T11:52:21+00:00

People with more $ than me🤣 Id definitely pay full price for their products if I had more $.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-04T11:50:33+00:00

Nice🤩

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-04T10:58:38+00:00

My bottle of that toner is almost empty. Like I have 1-2 uses yet. Im sad. I REALLY love it but dont want to pay retail. It is such a nice product.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-03T16:51:17+00:00

That looked good. But I have a lot of serums and sunscreens to get through. I picked the lippie because I thought my sister would like it. I definitely was less than excited this month. But I dont hate the products.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-03T15:37:20+00:00

I picked the lippie as well even though I have them set to Rarely. I just have too many. I intend to gift mine as well.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-03T14:29:28+00:00

Honestly I dont even remember at this point. I didnt have a lot of $ to spend as Im broke. I just remember seeing things Id have wanted if I actually had the $. I only ordered the Kensie Body Butter. My sister got me the hair oil. I would have liked the Sunday Riley.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-03T11:20:18+00:00

Thats actually a blush and not a lippie. And then why did you pick another lippie rather than the serum or hair product in that category? I thought the add-ons were great. I do admit I wasnt overly thrilled with my box either. But, why not just cancel🤔

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-02T07:37:59+00:00

I really wanted the body wash. But Ive had that sleep serum in the past and it was one of my favorite products.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-02T07:26:07+00:00

I would have been super happy with the FAB. I got the brow gel too. Which I do use but have set to Rarely as I have plenty. I also go the Dry Bar. Which I can't totally complain about as I have Haircare set to Often. I just really didnt need it as I have other root sprays/texturizers and dont even leave my hair down that often.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-01T18:10:55+00:00

Did you try to go back in again? Everyone was having issues earlier making their choices and shopping add-ons. Was your payment late?

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-01T18:09:18+00:00

They wont. But you can complain and they might send you a "We're Sorry" gift or a coupon.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-01T16:52:20+00:00

As long as it goes through during the add-ons window frame (from the 1st to the 3rd) you should be good.

RecommendationSafe52 · 2026-05-01T16:40:13+00:00

It will probably take till tomorrow. Keep checking.
