La Mer SPF 18 Fluid Tint.

I thought that the new SPF 30 Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer from Stila was going to be my tinted moisturizer for this Summer, but I may be wrong. I am currently obsessed with the new one from La Mer. It is La Mer The SPF18 Fluid Tint.

 

Combining it's almost miraculous skincare formula with a must wear sunscreen and a subtle tint, not only does this tint give your skin a bit of a very natural sun-kissed glow, but it is moisturizing and protecting from the sun.

Fluid Tint absorbs instantly into the skin leaving, while gliding over effortlessly. The color is real and natural, available in three shades: Light, Medium, and Dark. I was using the light shade, but now with a bit of a faux tan, the medium shade blends well with my skin tone.

Like all of the La Mer products, this is far from ordinary.  The company's infamous formula, gemstones absorb light energy transforming it into beneficial "green light" to boost it's anti-oxidant properties.  It also contains photonic spheres that redirect and diffuse light, while light-reactive seaweeds impart natural humectant properties to keep skin moisturized, thus preventing dehydration.

A 1.7 oz. of the SPF18 Fluid Tint is $65, available at La Mer counters  in Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and online at lamer.com.

Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30.

In the summer months, I am pretty much addicted to DuWop's Revolotion Face. I will admit that I wish it offered a higher SPF in it, and I think I just might have found a tinted moisturizer to replace it. Stila's Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer has a new formula that offers the same best-selling coverage, but now has an oil-free, SPF 30 formula.

 

Now, they are not replacing the original product, Stila is just offering it for those of us who prefer a higher sunscreen rating. 

"The multi-tasking formula evens skin tone, provides medium coverage, and naturally absorbs oil with white willow bark to leave your skin glowing. It also moisturizes and smoothes skin with silk amino acids while improving the skin's natural barrier protection, and soothes skin with pomegranate extract."

This Sheer Color with SPF 30 comes in eight shades and retails for $36 at stilacosmetics.com, Sephora stores and sephora.com.
