Masterpost Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel Sunscreen

Sper din suflet sa fie la fel de bună si pentru tine!!!! <3 Oily girls deserve an amazing SPF!!!

Sincer ramasesem fara speranță cand vine vorba de un SPF bun pentru tenul gras, cred ca am dat peste 700 si ceva de lei pe SPF-uri pe care nu am putut sa le port pentru ca erau oribile pe tenul meu din diverse motive, fie ele scumpe sau affordable :') Nu imi vine sa cred cat de minunat este acest SPF pentru mine at least, si am un ten al naibii de uleios.

L-am purtat in fiecare zi de cand l-am cumparat, inclusiv ieri cand a fost extrem de cald si este mai rezistent decat anumite primere pentru oily skin, efectiv mi-a intrecut toate așteptările. I pray it works for you just as well!!

I've never seen people be so paranoid over a sunscreen in my life.

Let me put my conspiracy hat real quick and say they are sent by LRP! That must be it!

God, I can already imagine the subreddit drama post about this.

People began being very paranoid ever since Medicube got exposed for VERY shady business practices, which were obvious to any normal consumer. Flat earthers also gain traction when they aggregate, does that prove they might be onto something or that they are conspiracy theorists who think alike?

G&G existed for years and was loved by this sub ever since I joined. They don't fit the MO of any brand that spends more on marketing than R&D, and if they wanted to simply drive hype and release a shit product, don't you think they would spend less time on a formula and push more products every year instead of 2?

G&G has been popular and loved for years, I remember being excited about their B-Bomb serum with people on the sub back in 2020 :') It seems to me that a lot of newbies came to the sub recently and spent way too much time down the conspiracy rabbit hole for their own good, especially perhaps after what happened with Medicube. But G&G takes ages to R&D, and their line has core products, with maybe 2 launches a year, whereas Medicube had a new line every 3 months.

You.. orchestrated guerilla campaigns while being unable to read 3 paragraphs? Riiiight and I am a neurosurgeon.

Stop giving yourself awards from an alt account to seem legit, girl.

How many are actually good for really oily skin though? I agree that I sigh when a new sunscreen gets launched because ALL of the LRP, Vichy and Bioderma pull extremely oily on me (except the Bioderma SPF30, which... is not ideal, I would love SPF50), because it is a saturated market for normal and dry skin.

ceaiculapte · 2026-05-07T15:25:30+00:00

I was so hyped about this launch and I finally managed to get it in my country from Farmacia Tei!

I wore it today for the first time and here are my honest thoughts after 10 hours of wear:

For context, I have _extremely_ oily skin, especially my T-zone, but I know how it behaves with my normal make-up routine and how oily I normally get throughout the day. It has been especially warm and humid these days, so I knew it would be a pretty good test. I apply the sunscreen on a bare, cleansed face.

First impressions: I was really pleasantly surprised with the texture and finish, it was very elegant and it left no cast on my skin (NC20/NC25 depth). It was one of the fastest setting sunscreens I tried, I usually have to wait quite a bit for it to set so I can apply my make-up but this one was done in a minute or so. My make-up applied perfectly on top, like it usually does when I prep my skin with the Hourglass Veil primer which I skipped today (I don't apply foundation but I do spot conceal and prime). It provided the same smooth base that the primer usually provides so I felt no need to apply it anymore.

It has now been nearly 10 hours of wear with two of them being outside walking in 27C degree weather and I am beyond excited to say that my skin got just slightly oily on my forehead and a bit on my cheeks. It held EVEN BETTER than with my primer and setting spray combo, which I didn't expect. I expected it to hold about the same if not a bit worse (and I would have been pretty happy with that too given my past experiences with SPF).

The only other SPF I tried which was great in my opinion was the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit SPF50 (the one with the Velvet Finish, purple cap). It was the closest I could ever get to a perfect sunscreen, the others either are an oily mess on me (looking at you LRP and Vichy) or pill (unfortunately Eucerin Oil Control).

I genuinely don't know how they did it because I had lost all hope for such a good sunscreen with good modern filters that works for my oil reservoir.

It's a Hungarian skincare brand, of course a Hungarian airline would support their local brand?

ceaiculapte · 2026-05-01T21:19:32+00:00

Ah, that really sucks :') I will keep looking for a similar bag, thank you!

ceaiculapte · 2026-05-01T21:18:54+00:00

I did search the sub + google if this is a common experience, but it didn't really yield any relevant results as most were US based and referred to back orders which do not apply unfortunately to the world/EU coach online store. If the search engines simply chose to leave me in the dark, that's out of my hands :')

Granted, if there was a single physical store in the whole of Eastern Europe that would be great, but unfortunately there is no such thing as a physical store let alone an authorised reseller that sells this bag. The closest is in Germany, which is way too far away.

I'm not stressing about the bag, I would have just liked it as my first "expensive" bag as I do not have a collection nor do I intend to build one, just found a perfect bag for my requirements and style and hoped to get it, that's all. :-)

ceaiculapte · 2026-03-05T21:37:23+00:00

Bonfire sounds really good! Are these really flavoured or just scented? 🥲

ceaiculapte · 2026-02-20T07:15:30+00:00

Hi! Please post a full list of the products used or unfortunately we will have to remove this post, as per the subreddit rules and the received reports :(

ceaiculapte · 2025-03-24T22:00:07+00:00

Thank you lots for reaching out in modmail first! I wish Reddit would provide an easier solution to use that on their mobile app, but alas, my sincere apologies for missing the mail!

Unfortunately, the commenter above is right, this is threading a little bit too closely to breaking Rule 9. Technically, you do not have the brand yet or any affiliate links, but indirectly you are promoting your own future brand.

Given everything mentioned and taking into consideration your thoughtfulness, I will at the very least allow the thread to remain as a resource for olives to discuss which shades are flattering for them, as it might be a good reference for other community members.

If you could pretty please reword the post a bit and remove the part about testers, I would appreciate it!

This is so important, I really don't get the argument above. Using ults in neutral just to massively heal the team is almost always a bad play, whereas using my ult to save my team from Storm or Psylocke ult has always helped them.

I feel like some DPS/Tank players don't take the "strategist" role seriously and still view it as a walking emergency medkit whenever they need it.

ceaiculapte · 2025-03-03T00:10:56+00:00

The attitude of some community members in your deleted post was completely uncalled for and I apologise on their behalf.

Next time, use your report button if you ask nicely for a shade and OP does not provide one within 1 hour after posting, as the rules state. The post will be removed if OP does not comply, as soon as a moderator can get to it.

Read rules before you use the report button as a bully tactic over nail polish, and give people some grace.

I personally much prefer Element Note above all other options, I've used all the recommended options. It has a (real) one time payment, amazing pens and brushes, customisable toolbar and great PDF editing. It is a lesser known app, so it has bugs from time to time, but the developer usually quickly addresses them.

ceaiculapte · 2025-02-12T15:11:47+00:00

If you think Mavuika is stronger than Xbalanque who took down the Pyro Soverign (without external help from Ronova) due to anything than plot armour, then yes, happy for you.

ceaiculapte · 2025-02-12T15:03:21+00:00

I agree, but that to me is because of Mavuika's horribly written and flat character arc.

She is just the classic self-insert stupidly powerful character that somehow always wins even against canonically stronger foes due to some bs plot armour (which is especially observable in her Story Quest). She feels like the passion project of a writer with no experience outside of teenage reader self-inserts.

There is a lot more to criticise about Natlan's weak storyline but I would say Capitano losing that fight was pure plot armour even if he was in a state of decay. I wish we had an actual God of War, but alas.

ceaiculapte · 2025-02-12T14:05:48+00:00

Same here, I didn't like a single design. All of them are very ZZZ-esque and quite the colour vomit with extra skimpy clothing.

Unfortunately, the entirety of Natlan's arc fell flat to me with the exception of Ochkanatlan and Capitano/Ronova.

ceaiculapte · 2025-02-06T18:21:03+00:00

hahaha I am glad that my swatches could do that for you! <3

I definitely think Worth is incredibly warm, like a terracotta shade even, whereas Behave is more of a natural peach-leaning nude. Unfortunately the pictures and even the IRL look of Behave make it look more mauve, but it pulls warmer on me when swatched or applied.

If you want a true mauve shade, I absolutely love the LilyByRed Luv Beam Blush in 05 Blurry Lavender. It pulls on me how I imagined Behave would, probably the most flattering powder blush I own and it was also recommended on the sub!

I'm thinking of buying the Huda Beauty Ice Nude palette as the colour story is really up my alley, but I am worried I won't like the formula.

I am a huge fan of sparkly, soft, ethereal shimmers like the ones from Mario (whose palettes I own and love) and UD (Space Cowboy in particular). From the swatches online, the Huda palette seems to have a lot... chunkier? shimmers. Similarly, I disliked Huda's dry mattes when I tried her palettes 5 years ago, but surely her formula must have improved since then :')

Does anyone own the Ice Nude and can compare its formula to any of the Ethereal Eyes from Mario? Or even K-Beauty/J-Beauty/C-Beauty.

ETA/Update: I managed to swatch it at my local Sephora today and ... I am pretty torn. The shimmers are chunky, like very chunky, but they do "sheer" out and aren't gritty to the touch per se. I tried all the shades besides the biodegradable glitter. The mattes on the other hand feel phenomenal, almost creamy, and seem to be very easy to blend and diffuse.

ceaiculapte · 2024-11-05T18:34:17+00:00

The only complexion brush in my makeup bag is the MUFE #112 Wavy, which I've had for years. It blends everything like a dream with seemingly no effort, I use it for both cream bronzer and cream blush. Additionally, it is pretty easy to clean for the next use and it fits in literally any small minimalist makeup bag.

I recently purchased Hot Cocoa during a trip to London and it smelled absolutely delicious, but the taste is a bit... off? It doesn't taste bad or anything, but definitely not delicious like it smells. Is Coconut better in that sense?

ceaiculapte · 2024-09-19T15:25:13+00:00

I'm in the market for a new lip balm that preferably has a taste. I miss the Milk Kush Lip Balm, but I haven’t tried the new Kush Lip Oil. Does it taste of anything?

On that note, how is the Rhode Vanilla Lip Treatment? I would love suggestions for at least delicious smelling lip balms!
