As soon as I heard about this new launch from Australian sunscreen brand, Ultra Violette, I knew I had to try it! It’s all about an SPF glow and I’m here for it! Here’s the lowdown on the brand new Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops.
What are Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops?
This new release from Ultra Violette is here to change the fact that makeup and SPF don’t mix well.
Until now, mixing your makeup with your SPF has been shown to have a detrimental effect on the levels of sun protection you will receive from your SPF products.
The good news is that this new hybrid product is specifically designed to be mixed or layered over SPF products without compromising sun protection.
Available in two shades – Illuminating and Bronzing.
How to use Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops
You can mix or layer over your preferred daily SPF. They can be used all over the face for a glow or to highlight or contour.
Samples of Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops
There are two options in this new Glow Drops formula – Illuminating and Bronzing.
Here are Glow Drops Illuminating:
It has a wonderful light texture that glides easily on the skin. As you can see, there is some subtle shimmer there that gives it the shine. You can see the glitter left in the bronzer swatch images below. It’s a beautiful finish, but if shimmer isn’t your thing, you can go for the Bronzing version.
Here is Glow Drops Bronzing:
Again this is a lovely lightweight texture that blends easily. I can see myself using a light layer all over the face under foundation for some glow and warmth.
My review
I knew I was going to love these new drops. I love a glow, but I never want to compromise on sun protection, so these are the perfect solution for me. Both formulas have their own SPF 50 sun protection, so you’re never skimping on protection levels. It’s also SPF Skin Screen tested and proven to not separate the formula and result in patch protection.
I’m a big fan of the original Queen Screen formula that was in the original range when the brand first launched here in the UK. The Glow Drops have a similar lightweight texture but perhaps with a very slightly more matte finish, which makes them ideal for layering.
Both formulas dry down nicely and quickly, which means they work really well under your chosen daily SPF and makeup and won’t make your foundation too cakey or slippery.
The texture is naturally great for mixing in SPF and it doesn’t affect the finish on the skin which is ideal. And of course, you can use them simply as a make-up product, to bronze and highlight, with that added SPF50 as a bonus.
I’m excited to play with these more. As I said in the swatch section, the Illuminating formula has a tiny bit of micro glitter and if that’s not your thing, then you might not love it. I think it’s a very nice finish.
