"I also went in with my Summer Fridays Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen. This is my favorite sunscreen, especially under makeup. Sunscreen is a hit or miss for me when it comes to going under makeup because I find that a lot of sunscreens can pill underneath makeup. This one I've never had a bad experience with. I feel like it definitely prepped the skin."

"Summer Fridays Milk Mineral Shade Drops, they also have a foundation or more of like a BB face oil that goes with it but it's a pretty nice one. [...] It is really nice, hydrating, and not for oilier skin I would say, just my take on it because it is on the moisturizing side. I do have a video where I tested it and I think it's still for sale, it's very nice."

"This one's a mineral sunscreen of zinc oxide. It [...] does have a little bit of a white cast but it's not terribly so. It smooths in the skin really nicely and feels nice. [...] Once it soaks in it has a little bit of reflectiveness but once you apply foundation over it it really is nice. [...] We've also got lots of nice hydrate ingredients, we've got squalane in here, we've got shea butter, vitamin E, no scent to it. Really nice product."

"I would say it's on the hydrating side, it's got squalane in here and it works pretty nice under foundations. It [...] really ends up with no white cast. I guess it has a slight tint to it but it doesn't tint the skin at all. Although when you put this on, on the days I use this one I typically end up just applying powder over it, no foundation. So I guess the little bit of tint that's in here ends up making it so there's no white cast. So it's really nice, really hydrating, really lovely."

"I absolutely do not see a white cast with this whatsoever and it does have that nice serum texture. So if you want something that is extremely lightweight that truly feels like you don't have anything on your skin then you will absolutely love this. This sits nicely on top of moisturizer. I've never experienced peeling before and also this sits beautifully underneath makeup and of course tinted sunscreens. I use this quite a bit because I love that serum texture."

"This one I do not get a cast at all but again it is very moisturizing and it just feels so nice on the skin. I really like this formula. I hope they come out with a water resistant formulation one day and also something with a higher SPF that would be really nice but in the meantime the formulation is truly on point and I've been using this sunscreen for quite a while now actually and it's one of my faves."

"I have a Summer Fridays Shade Drops, this is their mineral milk sunscreen with an SPF 30. Honestly, this is my go-to sunscreen. I feel like I reach for this the most over everything else that I have in my sunscreen collection. [...] I just really love the formula and the consistency of this because it's like a serum texture, it's milky, it spreads nicely, and it keeps your skin comfortable and hydrated for the entire day. But also it wears nice underneath makeup."

"This works so well and I love it. I highly recommend this if you are looking for that serum texture. This has that beigey tone to it as well, so I really do feel like it helps to disguise that white cast. I don't have a white cast with this whatsoever on my skin tone, but if you do have a darker skin tone there's always that possibility of a slight cast. But if you can find a formula that does have that beigey tone, I really do feel like it helps with that white cast."

I really like this formula because it has that true serum texture where it spreads really nicely across the skin your skin absorbs it nicely as well there's no sticky tackiness involved there's no gross sunscreen smell and the color of the sunscreen is a beigy tone very similar to the packaging actually."

"So I mean I like this one too but I actually think this is fraud. [...] This one's [...] only 9% zinc oxide and I heard it's they can claim it as SPF 30 because they have an ingredient called... [...] which is chemical at that point, it's just a hybrid. [...] We tested it and under UV it came back closer to 49 and 50 but we didn't want to overstate it because it wasn't 100% at 50 all the time, we're like it's definitely 40 something, but a lot of brands do that."

"The Summer Fridays Shade Drops SPF 30 [...] is a zinc based non-water resistant sunscreen that comes out as a very thin liquidy milk and I just love how lightweight it is. I do like to wear a moisturizer underneath because it can be pretty drying if worn on its own, but I really love how it rubs into the skin."
