So this is my first ever post and review and it's quite exciting! So here goes: so I got this tinted moisturiser for my birthday from my mum. I love it, so I thought I'd say what I love about it.
Personally I am quite a spotty person and have tried hundreds of skin care products and have finally found the right routine (with some help from the doctor), but being prone to spots its been hard to find a foundation or concealer that is one: in my price range, two: the right colour, and three: doesn't make my spots worse. I haven't been very productive, but I'm sure the more expensive ones are great and work well but I obviously cannot afford them... But then my mum got me this. I have quite a dry face, and without enough moisturiser my skin becomes tight and dry so I do need a lot, and for me this doesn't have enough moisture in it to satisfy my face so I use my normal Simple everyday moisturiser and then the tinted. But it may be okay for you, so I recommend trying it before you jump right in.
They have an okay range of colours, but for my funny skin they have a great colour. I use 01 Light and it seems to work well for me. I have quite a pale, but slightly pinky complexion so this works well at giving me a more matte look. I find that if you have an area that you really want covered (a large blemish, or bags etc), add a dab of foundation or concealer with your finger to the area works well just as long as the colour is right!
WARNING: remember it isn't foundation so it isn't going to cover your face, and all the pimples - what it does is give you a more matte look, control shine and provide medium coverage and moisturisation.

Why Buy:
- It has witch hazel as a main ingredient. Witch hazel is a well known ingredient used for helping treat spots and blemishes.
- The colour is good. It gives good coverage without being cake like and orange.
- Controls shine. Gives a more matte look, controlling the shine on your face.
- Has antibacterial activities. Great!
- It's only £5.99 (In Boots)
Why Not Buy:
- It isn't very moisturising. I need to use moisturiser as well as it.
- Doesn't last that long. It does fade after a while.
In conclusion I would recommend buying this product. It's great! If your young, or if you don't like wearing foundation this will be great for you. It's a really good price, but make sure you get the right colour for you skin other wise it wont be good and you could end up looking quite orange...
