Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit

Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit - Lots of goodies and for a good cause too!

Because I am ultra fair and suffered a few pretty bad sunburns as a kid, I am obsessed (Some might also say paranoid about...) with sunscreen.

In addition to whatever SPF my moisturizer, primer, and foundation may have, I religiously wear a dedicated sunscreen with SPF 50 every day - even if  I don't plan on spending any time outdoors.  It's the one thing in my skin care/beauty routine that I am never lazy about. It's that important to me.

So when I saw that Sephora had their Sun Safety Kit out again this year, I had to pick it up.

As its name implies, it's essentially a kit of deluxe sample sizes of various sun safety products, which includes sunscreen, makeup products with SPF, and faux tanning items.

It's $30, though Sephora claims the contents have a retail value of $193.16.  I'm always dubious of those kinds of claims, but I will say that I definitely think it's worth the price - especially because 100% of the net profits from the sale of the kit go to the Skin Cancer Foundation.  Cool, right?

Now, I just got my kit in the mail today so I haven't had time to try any of the products. But I thought I'd show you what it contains in case you're crazy about sun safety like I am and might want to pick one up.  I missed out on last year's because I waited to long to order it, so consider that a warning.  The kit is in stock on Sephora's website at the time I'm writing this post, but I assume quantities are limited. Oh, and you have to be a Beauty Insider to purchase it.

What's really cool is that there are a few products in the kit that I've been wanting to try for a while, so it couldn't have worked out better.

All of the products come in a clear plastic box, which is actually pretty cute and looks like it will come in handy for storage in the future. The kit also comes with a little pamphlet that lists all of the products' ingredients, as well as skin cancer prevention guidelines from the Skin Cancer Foundation. 

Now onto the products, which I've grouped together according to how they were packaged in the kit:
