Calypso Shimmer Mist SPF30, Shimmering Finish, Protective Water Resistant Sun Spray, Non-sticky, Transparent Sunscreen, 100ml

Great easy to use nice smell works well

Was ok but no real shimmer.

So this brand has a hit and miss reputation with its sun protection so I was keen to try this to see if its products had improved. The product itself does leave a nice shimmer finish on the skin, but it has quite a strong chemically type smell on the first few sprays. This does settle down though once shaken and applied a few times. The water proof is minimal, only lasting 40 minutes maximum, so for those who burn easily, I would definitely be more comfortable with using a cream as it feels thicker and more substantial. For a party cruise or a 18-30s holiday, this is a good product for those tanning on the beach, but I think for those who need a factor 30 and need to feel its really protective, I'd stick to a cream.The bottle is nice and easy to carry, the on off switch is also a bonus and really adds to the ease of use. I also really like the spray bottle itself and find this really increases product usage and minimises waste. For me, I'd be happy to use it again, but I would stick to a cream for kids or those who want to 'feel' the sun protection on their skin.

I know we should all be using sun protection but I will admit that I really dislike the thick creams that are the norm. I just don't like the feeling of them on my skin, or my hands after applying (doesn't stop me using them, of course). Therefore, when I was offered this spray sun lotion, I was really happy to try it out.Needless to say that as a spray, it's far easier to apply. On my skin, it feels very light, and seems to absorb quickly. I really like the subtle fragrance, and wouldn't mind at all if it were a bit stronger, to be honest. I can't say that the shimmer is particularly apparent, which is good. I don't relish the idea of looking like a renegade from Twilight!Unfortunately, we've not had any sunshine to speak of recently, so I can't comment on how well this actually works as a sunscreen; however, as soon as the weather cheers up, I shall be using it while gardening.Lack of sun notwithstanding, I do appreciate that this is a broad spectrum sunscreen, which protects from both UVA and UVB radiation. I also like the comprehensive information and instructions on the bottle. And speaking of which, the ability to lock the bottle to prevent accidental sprays in your bag is such a great idea.Overall, assuming that this does actually offer the stated protection, I will be buying more, and ditching the thick cream!

Appears OK.

This is a lovely light sun tan lotion that feels really light on your skin and doesn't feel sticky and heavy. It also give you a nice shimmery look. The scent of it is pleasant and it's easy to apply. Really lovely sunscreen.

Really disappointed, it arrived and was leaking.Tried it and there was no sparkle which is why I wanted it.I layer my sun screen so this was to go over my high spf for sparkle but no sparkle.Strong whiff of alcohol on application that quickly dissipates to nothing.Won't buy this again.

Calypso Shimmer Mist SPF30So with this only having a protection rated as SPF30, it is not going to give you protection from burning in the sun, but has some protection from UV A&B rays, it also does however leave you with a subtle glow/shimmer on the skin.It moisturises well and absorbs really quickly without leaving my skin feeling sticky.It smells nice and is easy and convenient to use.A clear liquid so no colouration of the skin.5 Stars ✨ & Recommended.
