MY VERDICT: Coverage: 4.5 out of 5
The stuff is really creamy and a bit thick when first applied. What I do is I just put on a pea size amount enough to cover and moisturize my face after toning and leave it on for a few minutes just to let it settle and slightly be absorbed by the skin so it won't be that heavy and cakey when I put on some setting powder.
And since I'm an oily freak, this is a very important step that I should do.
Shade: 5 out of 5
For the shade, it comes in a pearly white tint which I love since it seems to brighten up my complexion. I would recommend this for the fair ones either having pinkish or yellowish tones. For the darker shades of the Filipinas, I think this would be okay too just adjust the shade of your setting powder and foundation if you still need to apply just so it's easier to blend it in with your natural color.
Staying Power: 4 out of 5
I have hospital shifts for 12 hours and I think it does keep up its good job. Although I really don't go out that much or expose myself to the sun (as the photo-phobic that I am), I think it protects me from the artificial lights sources such as the OR lights especially if we have to handle a case for 3-4 hours. (It's like artificial sunbathing!)
It lasts for about 10-12 hours I think and apart from its sole purpose, it also doubles as a make-up primer, moisturizer and skin treatment regimen in one. It even fades out my pimples marks and uneven skin tone.
On Cam: 5 out of 5
This gives out a slightly white cast on cam so don't overdo it or you'll end up looking like crinkles or worst, Bozo the clown.

Absolutely. In fact this is my second purchase already. My first Armada was an SPF 60 too but in a bigger size.
Is it worth the price?
A bit pricey. Knowing it's an original from the Philippines, I think the company should give us some kinda patriot's privilege. ^_^
I got my first Armada in 85 mL for about P1670 and after a year, I purchased the 30 mL which is P950.
