I’m
back again with another collaboration & this time it’s with Thank You Farmer Malaysia! I’m feeling pretty blessed to have this opportunity because I’ve
only been a Korean beauty convert for around the same time as I started
blogging again which has been about 7-8 months now. Just wanted to share this
as it really feels good when all my time & effort to shoot, edit & write
is being noticed. (Crying inside with tears of joy RN 😭) Thank you again, Thank You Farmer Malaysia team! 💕
Anyway,
back to the review! Thank You Farmer is a brand that believes in helping the
skin restore its natural strength while slowing down the aging of cells through
using good products regularly & consistently. To be healthy & beautiful
naturally & gradually without burdening the skin is Thank you Farmer’s
honest promise.
I’ve
previously heard about Thank You Farmer through one of @aliciatal’s Instagram
posts or Youtube videos sometime awhile back but back then I didn’t have much
interest in skincare as I do now. So, I was quite ecstatic to be able to try one
of Thank You Farmer’s series: Sun Project. Just the perfect time to review a
sun screen because it’s been extremely hot these days & I literally melt
the moment I step out of my home!
Thank
You Farmer has several series – True Water, Miracle Age, Be Beautiful, Back to, Sun Project & Country Man each targeting different skin concerns
for all genders! You’ll probably be able to find a basic skincare line that
suits your skincare needs easily on their site! If the name doesn’t give it
away already, the Sun Project series focuses on sun protection, consisting of:
Thank You Farmer Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++ 50ml
* thicker consistency like a cream focusing on moisture, suitable for normal or dry skin
* thicker consistency like a cream focusing on moisture, suitable for normal or dry skin

* lighter, essential type lotion focusing on non stickiness, suitable for oily or combination skin
* lighter, essential type lotion focusing on non stickiness, suitable for oily or combination skin
Thank You Farmer Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence SPF30+ PA+++ 40ml

* essential type lotion for all skin types that need a glow booster
I would
have chosen the same sun screen that was sent to me because I really love a
light sun screen!
*Disclaimer: While this product was sent to me, all my
reviews will always be 100% honest as I would only share products that I would
genuinely use for my readers.
According

the coolness of a spring shower & the freshness of a breeze.

of its claims includes:

stickiness
* High sunscreen capacity without
excess whitening

as phyto-oligo, inca omega oil & bamboo extracts

To
be honest, I did not have much expectations upon trying this sun essence
because while I do use sun screens, it has never really been the top skincare
products that I pay attention to (although I should). I used to think that as
long as I don’t get more hyper pigments or make me darker then it’s good. But I
am very picky when it comes to sun screen because I want something that is
light, non-sticky or oily or too matte but also at least SPF50+ as I’m too lazy
to reapply throughout the day. I sound like such a picky person right, or maybe
it’s not just me? Haha! 😂 Okay
la, I’ve never found a sun screen that I really super liked that fit all the
criteria I mentioned while being wallet friendly for me. But that was until now & I'm not kidding!
Thank You Farmer's Sun Project Light Sun Essence comes in a sleek tube that can be easily held onto & placed into your daily makeup pouch. With a light squeeze, out comes the sun essence! ☀️ It has a very light scent, I can't really explain what it smells like but it doesn't bother me when I've applied it onto my skin because it's simply light & easy on the nose.
The sun essence is really smooth & easy to apply, after applying it on my hand to test, there's no white cast / white caking whatsoever! It wasn't sticky at all & stayed nicely on my skin with a mild matte effect which was perfect for me. As mentioned on their website, it does give me a texture light as air 😍
After applying, my face doesn't appear oily at all & I love that it's not extremely matte to a point that my face looks powdery! 😍 Had to capture this another day because the camera didn't show the pretty matte effect. Apparently the natural essence in this sun essence creates this glass bead like transparent skin effect.🌟 When I saw how naturally effortless it made my skin look, I just fell in love at first use! 💕 Seriously I ain't joking, & this is me after my usual skincare routine, without any makeup except my brows.
I went on to apply makeup over this sun essence & my makeup sat really well with it while making my skin look uber smooth. Even after a long day out going through sun, rain & haze, my skin didn't really oil up much & my skin still had a light matte feel to it even after 6 hours out.

Just a little shout out, I also love how insightful & detailed Thank You Farmer Malaysia's product description page is! 😍 They even explain to you what SPF & PA is which I didn't know until I came across it on their website! A common misconception about SPF is people (me included) think that the higher the SPF the stronger the sun protection. Funny story, I was so afraid of getting tanned in the past that I'd pile on sun screen just because kiasu & I thought that thicker means stronger sun protection, which my skin ended up getting clogged & oily AF. 😂 In case you're not sure when you are supposed to reapply sun screen, 1 SPF = 15 minutes of UV protection so for this SPF50+ Sun Project Light Sun Essence, you'll be getting a generous 12.5 hours of UV protection! ☀️ For a lazy person like me, I won't need to reapply if I'm out for the whole day.
As mentioned in the beginning, I didn't have much expectations but I really did not expect to truly adore this sun essence like I do. Thank You Farmer's Sun Project Light Sun Essence has definitely become one of my top favourite skincare products & is one of the best sun screens I've used thus far. Whenever I alternate between different sun screens, I miss this one a lot, to a point I feel that I might be addicted hahah! 😂 Sometimes some brands over exaggerate on how great their product is but it doesn't meet what they promise, but this product sure met all the points promised & I'm so glad it did. It's a strong yes about repurchasing this product & Thank You Farmer has jumped its way up to one of the top brands I'd definitely want to try more of their other products!
You can get Thank You Farmer's products at selected AEON & Sasa outlets near you (find out more here) or simply purchase Thank You Farmer's Sun Project Light Sun Essence online here.
Did I mention that you'll get 1 free Delux at your checkout online which you get to choose yourself?
😍 To me,
a brand that is generous with their freebies is always a plus! They gave me a
good variety of free samples which I’ve tried them all. Here’s a quick bonus review
on them to help you decide which to get when you shop on Thankyoufarmer.my!
* Gooey consistency but feels light & hydrating on the skin. I would love to try this more!
* Rich foam that cleanses my skin very gently but cleanly. I would try this again!
* Thick, creamy, not a lot is needed to cover the whole skin & my skin feels very moist afterwards. I would love to try this again as well!
* Thick cream but it becomes like a rubber dust texture before I've even applied it throughout my face. It did make my skin softer but to buy full size, maybe not for me.
Thank you for reading till the end & hope you enjoyed my beauty review! 💕
