What!??!? A SPF facial moisturizer that leaves No white residue!

SHISEIDO

The Skincare Day Moisture Protection SPF 15



















This lotion is magnificient!
I have been using it for 3 year now and still love it, especially during summer.
The lotion is light and fully moisturizing , but the best thing is it doesn't leave the ghostly hue that most moisturizers with spf unfailingly do. I always get the same thing from the agents in the store, "You need to make sure you rub it in really well..." Well I do! Despite the fact I know most days, women have to hurry up and do-the-darn-thing and go! We don't have time to dedicate to a mini facial massage to rub the spf in, ensuring the white hue is spread evenly across our face!
I rub this on after an application of acne cream and am good to go. No worries.
I've seen reports that it is greasy on some people. I don't agree at all. It does give a moist glow, due to the spf in it, but definitely is not greasy. After a minute or two, during which I begin my eye makeup application, the product is fully absorbed in the skin and you can go bare, or apply other face makeup without it rolling off.
I love a product that does what it claims.

Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser


Yeah, just a half a lippie. I know, I'm shocked too.
I really like the Boscia products. I am most interested in them because of the preservative-free ingredients they claim they don't use.  I first fell in love with the Makeup Breakup Cleansing Oil. I think I've been smitten by it to the point of excess.
I tried this cleanser, but am not as impressed as most reviews I read.  It wasn't drying, but other than that, I have no real praise for it.  
If I use a cleanser, I believe it should clean whatever has attacked me during the day. I didn't feel that about this product.  I know some cleansers are more gentle than others, but when I see so much oil yuck on a cotton pad after cleansing, I'm not happy. 
Don't expect it to take off makeup. It just doesn't do it.  Foundation, eyeshadow, and especially mascara are not touched by this product. Sometimes even normal facial oil fails to be moved.
This cleanser is much too gentle.  I'm moving on.
