Neutrogena fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock — 

Ugh, what a waste of money!  This product has such a heavy fragrance that if you're not outside when you put it on you'll be choking on it.  Even outside you can smell it pretty strongly, plus the smell never really goes away.  It's not necessarily a bad scent (it's kind of like Febreze, but not as good), it's just SO strong.  I wanted to use this product for reapplication since it's very quick; however, it is very difficult to get even coverage from this clear spray since you can't really see it.  I also have a feeling that it washes off more easily than other sunblocks.  The combination of splotchy application and poor staying power means that this stuff really doesn't work at all.  When I used it at a waterpark, I got a splotchy burn even though I was in the shade most of the day.  My sister used it on her back at the beach and got the worst burn of her life, complete with blisters.

I got a bad burn using this too. I do not usually burn. I'm fine with 15 SPF. This is 45. It flat did not work. WIsh I'd read your review before I got this.
