Australian Gold 30 SPF Sunscreen Review



I received this product from Influenster in my Blossom VoxBox for free to review. The day I got it I went in my backyard in wonderful hotter than hot South Carolina. We were in the backyard swimming for many 20-30 minutes, I got out didn't think anything about and then an hour later I was hot... I couldn't figure out why until I took a snapchat and realized I had gotten a sunburn :( luckily I was only out there a short while.... The first thing that popped into my head was the Australian Gold 30 SPF sunscreen I received. I couldn't believe I had forgot to put it on (it wasn't super hot or sunny on this day) But then I thought hey this isn't that bad and it gives me a good comparison for the review! From that point on whenever I was going to be outside for more that about 10 minutes I put the sunscreen on.

Then next time I went swimming of course I put it on, I even put it on my face (I would not recommend). This day it was over 100 degrees with the heat index... it was so hot the pool felt like a warm bath :( anywho It was super bright out and it was hard to keep my eyes open (the lighter your eye color the more sensitive your eyes are to light... I have green eyes with blue in them). I went under the water and prior to this everything felt normal. When I can out I noticed my face burned a little... I had went under water previously when I didn't have the sunscreen on and nothing ever happened. A few seconds after I came out the water my face had a burning sensation. I was the only one experiencing this, but I am also the only one with the sunscreen on their face. It felt like that the whole time I was in the pool which was about 45 minutes to an hour. Once I got out I checked my face and everything was fine no chemical burn or anything like that. After that experience I didn't put it on my face. I noticed there was no pink anywhere on my skin. I went back outside just to sit and chat with my family for another 30 minutes (yes I was in the sun). when I came back in I was still not even slightly sunburned which was a little surprising seeing as they say its only good for 80 minutes. but in total I was out in the sun for a total of 75 - 90 minutes without having to reapply.





Time for the breakdown:
Is it water resistant?  I would say Yes!
Is it greasy?  No it is very light and goes on smooth.
Does it take a long time to absorb?  No it absorbed within 2 minutes.
What does it smell like? it smells like tootie fruity when you smell it in the bottle (which is the scent/flavor of bubble gum, So yes it smells like bubblegum to me.), but once it dries or soaks in it smells like coconut and fruit.
Does it live up to its claims? Yes I think it does.
