Shiseido Sun Protection Stick

Shiseido Sun Protection Stick. The sun is shining and Vancouver is slowly turning pink. In a matter of a few short weeks entire streets will be flooded in a haze of cherry blossoms. It’s really one of the most beautiful times of the year.

It’s always around now that my pilgrimage for sunscreen begins. I’m not that picky with what goes on my body but for my face, it has been an endless struggle to find something appropriate. Actually that last statement isn’t quite true. Several years ago I was happily using Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation in translucent until I was suddenly informed that it was discontinued. Yes that dreaded word, discontinued. So for the past few years I’ve been trying them all, from high end Chanel to affordable drugstore brands but nothing was a decent replacement. Everything felt too heavy on my face. I have pale skin and therefore sunscreen in the summer is an absolute must. I have combination skin but it tends to get oily in the summer and this is one of the few sunscreens that doesn’t make me break out.

Now to be fair Shiseido still had their tinted sun stick but on me the colours looked awful. So you can imagine my joy when in Amsterdam, at the duty free shop, I found it! The sales lady thought I was crazy as I quickly stocked up. I love this product, it goes on very smoothly and I can barely feel it on my face. It also acts like a primer and I can apply my foundation right over it.ย  In the summer all I need is a very light moisturizing foundation and I’m set for the day.

I guess if I have to fly to Amsterdam for sunscreen every few months it can be arranged.

For now I’m off to enjoy the sun!

Have you ever tried the Shiseido Sun Protection Stick? What’s your favourite sunscreen?

  1. Oooo I love Cherry Blossoms, they remind me of my childhood since we had a tree in our garden! I also love it when you find a long lost product that you love ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I love cherry blossoms! They are so pretty in the spring time! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. The cherry blossom pictures are just beautiful – and how lovely to see spring putting in an appearance!

    Having found your perfect sunscreen in Amsterdam, it now looks like you have the perfect excuse now for regular European jaunts….

    I hope you have had a lovely start to your week.

    Beautiful photos! I too have fair skin… Have you ever tried Arbonne’s sunscreen? Really safe and reasonable… I love almost everything Arbonne puts out.. you have to get their items through a consultant like with Mary Kay and Avon… but totally worth the effort in my opinion… Hope it helps!

  5. Jackpot! It always feels like a tragedy when a favorite beauty product is discontinued… so glad you found where they’re hiding them!

  6. I’m envious of your sunny weather! It’s cold and snowing here! ๐Ÿ™

  7. Cherry blossoms are so beautiful, I’m jealous that you get so many of them.

  8. Kelly (@Birdieshoots)

    Cherry Blossoms are one of my favorites! I have to say one of my favorite times of year is when the trees begin to bloom. I just love how the ground is always littered with little petals after a windy day ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. vancouverinheels

    Love the shots of cherry blossoms! I recall skipping down streets with pink petals everywhere as a child ๐Ÿ™‚ Did you try Dior capture totale sunscreen yet? I’m happy you found your Shiseido sunscreen again though. Come see my blog if you have time ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Oh I’m going to have to try that one!!! Thanks.

      1. vancouverinheels

        Hey, is this the same sunscreen you use (it says no color) ? I just saw this on http://www.thebay.com

        http://www.thebay.com/eng/beauty-Sun_Protection_Stick_Foundation-thebay/159133

        Hopefully it is. I know I was distraught when they discontinued my Dior eye cream with spf, lol. ๐Ÿ™‚

        1. IT COULD BE!!!!! Oh I am so heading over to the bay tomorrow. You are a genius thank you! For the past two years they told me the translucent one was discontinued. THANK YOU!

          1. vancouverinheels

            I would be so happy if it’s the sunscreen you’re looking for! Call The Bay beauty department first, to save yourself a trip, to see if they have it in stock. Otherwise it’s in stock online. You can use the Metrotown gift card offer, lol ๐Ÿ˜‰
