Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

I have said it many times before, and I will say it again. I am obsessed with using a tinted moisturizer in the summer. I simply cannot stand a full-on heavy face of foundation, unless I am out to a super special event.

As I had just finished my tube of AmorePacific Tinted Moisturizer and needed another one for a quick trip and fast, I took a quick trip to Sephora. I asked the sales associates what their best selling tinted moisturizer was, and three associates turned to me and answered Laura Mericer Tinted Moisturizer. One of them thought I should go for the Illuminated version, but two of them agreed with me, I just needed the standard, which by the way is nothing but standard, version.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is a best-seller for a reason. It is a great hydrating lotion with the most beautiful tint to it. The colors are beautiful, and look so fresh and dewy when applied. This never settles into lines and keeps my face both looking and feeling fresh all day long. The much needed SPF 20 is an awesome addition to the product and does not irritate my sunscreen sensitive skin. It comes in 7 shades that match virtually every skin tone, with Almond, being the perfect shade for my faux-tan.

Check this out, along with the Illuminated Tinted Moisturizer at Sephora stores, as well as Sephora.com, LauraMercier.com and Nordstrom.
