Paseo UV Cut Powder SPF50+ PA++++ Part II

I've been using Paseo UV Cut Powder SPF50+ PA++++, the Cool version, everyday for all of July and August on my neck and decolletage, on top of whatever sunscreen I applied (was Nivea Sun Protect Water Gel Super SPF50 PA+++, recently switched to SunCut UV Protect Gel SPF50+ PA++++). 

Then a couple of weeks ago, I ran out of the Paseo powder. Yes, I rejoiced and went out to find a new powder to try. To my surprise though, most drugstores in my area don't carry these sunscreen powders. That or I just missed them completely. The drugstores in Japan are kind of jam-packed and bewildering, but I love them nonetheless ^.^

Anyway, after having spent three days straight combing through one drugstore after another without any success, I resorted to Rakuten JP. But if you've shopped on Rakuten before, you will know that it's just as bewildering, if not irritating because they also list items that have already been sold out. For example, if a search yields 10 pages of result, you can bet the later 5 pages are all sold-out items. Why those items even show up at all, I have no idea! 

So being desperate for something to hold me over until the next new discovery, I bought the "Normal" version of this same Paseo powder. Yes, previous online photos of it showed shimmers and sparkles, but it's for my neck and decolletage so I wasn't too picky. Did I mention I was desperate?

Paseo UV Cut Powder SPF50+ PA++++

Like Ruje Mineral BB Lucent Powder, this Paseo UV Cut Powder SPF50+ PA++++ was also a brain-washed purchase. And note both powders have an orange and gold "#1" sticker on their packaging, Ruje for #1 selling powder on Rakuten JP, and this Paseo one for #1 selling powder on Yahoo shopping. I mean, go figure! They both got me to buy after all! Ah, the power of [relentless] advertisement.

Anyway, this Paseo powder comes in 2 varieties, Cool and Normal, each contains 8g of product and goes for 1,600JPY plus tax and shipping. I bought the Cool version from Rakuten JP for only 1,350JPY plus tax and got free shipping (my order total was over 3,000JPY with another powder, Nanoce BB Mineral Powder SPF50+ PA+++, will review next).
