PRODUCT REVIEW: Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30

I picked up a little bottle of this Mario Badescu moisturizer at Nordstrom a few weeks back because I had been looking for a new SPF30 face lotion that was rich enough but not irritating. So far this has been a winner. It's non-irritating AND SPF 30 which is lately hard to find. I had tried their regular Oil Free a while back and really liked it, and also really like the Buttercream moisturizer a great deal, but I had been getting scolded a bit by the dermatologist when she read the SPF level (or lack thereof) on my current rotations, and said that I needed 30 or higher, preferably 45+.

The only complaint I have so far is that you really have to shake this stuff up bec it seems that whatever "oily-ish" substance is in it separates or something and when you squeeze some out it's the first stuff out. Then I have to unscrew the cap and scrape it all back in. That seriously happens overnight. It's odd.

This line for me so far has been kind of a winner. And it's really quite nicely priced as well. $26 for the bottle, and I got mine at Nordstrom. I THINK Ulta had it as well, or a spot for it, it just was sold out.  And if it's good enough for Martha Stewart, it's good enough for me.
